Living in the 21st century. Honestly, I think the gutter can be better than all the crap we eat by walking sheep-like on the street. But then, this is nothing but the Rhetorical-antiSocial. It's still just crap, only a different hand on the shovel..... I say the most important thing is a smile .... and thats it. -T

.525600.

Five hundred twenty-five thousand
Six hundred minutes,
Five hundred twenty-five thousand
Moments so dear.
Five hundred twenty-five thousand
Six hundred minutes
How do you measure, measure a year?

In daylights, in sunsets, in midnights
In cups of coffee
In inches, in miles, in laughter, in strife.

In five hundred twenty-five thousand
Six hundred minutes
How do you measure
A year in the life?

How about love?
How about love?
How about love? Measure in love

Seasons of love. Seasons of love

Five hundred twenty-five thousand
Six hundred minutes!
Five hundred twenty-five thousand
Journeys to plan.

Five hundred twenty-five thousand
Six hundred minutes
How do you measure the life
Of a woman or a man?

In truths that she learned,
Or in times that he cried.
In bridges he burned,
Or the way that she died.

It's time now to sing out,
Tho' the story never ends
Let's celebrate
Remember a year in the life of friends
Remember the love!
Remember the love!
Seasons of love!

Oh you got to got to Remember the love! remember the love,
You Measure in love know that love is a gift from up above Seasons of love.
Share love, give love spread love Measure measure you life in love.

.Dooomy! Dooomy! Dooomy!.

It works! The doom song is up and running, and it's loads of fun to play. Soon as that clock hits table, SOMEONE is trying to take counters off it. I've managed to stay alive for a very extended period of time during two games despite being at a very low life total and even having a clock on the table in one. With Copy Enchantment, I even manage to come back fairly quickly after cataclysm. Fear the walls of propaganda!

Here's the revised current deck list (and I've taken out the extra tinker and tutor):

4x Orchard - 4 Proxy
2x Brushland
1x Adarkar Wastes
2x Forest
4x Plains
3x Island

4x Armageddon Clock - 1 Proxy, 1 Korean
1x Null Rod
2x Platinum Angel - 2 Proxy

1x Enlightened Tutor - 1 Proxy
1x Tinker
4x Rampant Growth

4x Propaganda - 3 Proxy
4x Ghostly Prison
4x Privilledged Position
2x Ivory Mask - 1 Proxy
3x Copy Enchantment
4x Faith's Fetters

4x Birds of Paradise
2x Hunted Lamasu
2x Hunted Phantasm
2x Dowsing Shaman
_______
60 cards

I'm slowly wittleing away the proxies! Faith's Fetters is a spectacular card in the deck. In the future, I'm thinking about including golden wish to smooth things out, probably another copy enchantment (copy enchantment + priviledged position = GASP!), and definitely four copies of Replenish (to replace the Dowsing Shaman of coarse!). I don't think I will proxy any of the above in, since that will make it a tad stupid and will remove some of the satisfaction of slowly making the deck better. As far as the orchards go, they work great along with the birds. I haven't had any Mana issues this build at all. I almost never get the platies out, and I'm thinking of perhaps replacing them with Clearwater Goblet (of which I currently have one) Which would work great with all of the multi-colour mana production. It would certainly save me the expense of the angels (although sidebording a couple might be an idea considering I have golden wish - though this would make tinker a bit useless)!
