CardKingdom.com is already having a pre-sale on the dual-deck packs which will ship on September 5th. Are there any cards in particular (besides fetch lands) that you guys and gals are looking forward to?

I will probably buy an intro or event deck and improve it, just like I did with my first deck.

I was aware of that about a month back, and I don't use ANY cards from that set in any of my decks.

I built an awesome blue/white deck that actually did much better than I initially thought it would (winning about half of the games last night). It played slower and was way more unpredictable than my prize-winning killer bees deck, but it still worked. Red feels too easy to play and win with, and black is boring for me. I want to make an awesome five-color deck at some point that's actually playable with 60 cards.

So, my green/blue aggro token deck is pretty solid; I'm going to debut it next week at FNM and see how it does.

Rotations and themes are something that I never think about: I always played with my friends with no card restrictions, so we could build the craziest decks with so many different strategies. My cards go from Ice Age to Journey into Nyx.

I was just reading on MTG Salvation that Theros block was apparently hated for a variety of reasons. Hopefully they don't constrict gameplay TOO much in a similar fashion. I'm still so new, I could very well just be blinded by assumption at this point though, lol.

I think I was under the impression that without the core set, we're at the mercy of whatever combo-advantages WotC decides to put out for the year. "Here's a set that forces you to play R/U / B/W combinations, or you can't even make use of these cards!", lol. The Khans of Tarkir set looks very combo-dependent; that's one thing I never liked, even as a newer player. I like being able to switch out single cards and try our new combos on my own.
