Kind of disappointed Emmy 2 doesn't have an attack trigger.
The second time they did Storm it wasn't any better.

See, on the one hand I sorta agree with this but, on the other hand, her casting effect, unlike Aeons Torn, doesn't all but guarantee your having a chance to attack with her. As a result, an attack trigger doesn't fit the card design that well.

Yeah, that could have worked.
"Take an extra turn in which you control your opponent" isn't official Magic templating so they had to go with something equivalent that reads worse.
how do you explain yawgmoth's bargain then?
really, yawgmoth is the villain'rakul we deserve.
Today's article "The Art of Going Big" in WotC's website uses ironmang's deck as the reanimator deck of choice, which I thought it was pretty cool 
Some get LESS busted, but not as busted as the original.

Depends on the format and deck, honestly. Necro is easier to get out but Bargain is much more powerful when it's actually in play.

Also the step up from nightsteel to blightsteel collussus.
darksteel colossus wasn't busted to begin with

He was in casual. Next to plated slagwurm.
You ever seen someone cast Control Magic on a Darksteel Colossus? Rest assured, he wasn't broken anywhere.

That's why I prefer Duel Commander. No hard feelings.
Honestly I just hate waiting for my turn in 4-player games

need targets for collateral damage! You'd be surprised how quickly you run out of 3-damage instant burn spells under 3 mana.
gotta draw more burn man, what do you want me to play, magmatic insight and faithless looting like some coward?
That's because you're playing shitty creatures that can't even get past wall of omens. When you always have a one-drop, creatures like stormblood berserker and war-name aspirant go way up in value. I mean, you're playing Punishing Fire, Reverberate and Threaten over Forked Bolt, Pillar of Flame and Volcanic Hammer, and Wheels over Ankh of Mishra and Cursed Scroll.

You can cast Necro on turn 1 with Dark Ritual

Bargain is better for continuous combo decks like Storm, or the Standard deck that used Skirge Familiar to power out Drain Life-like spells, where you want to draw a bunch of cards but not necessarily all at once (and possibly more than 7). It's also better in Show and Tell decks.
Necropetence is better to find a two-card combo that wins the game by itself (Illusions-Donate) or just to overwhelm your opponent with resources really early on (because it's cheaper)

Took your advice to heart. The deck is something I basically made up off the top of my head in one go so I'm certainly more than open to feedback.

Purphoros seems like an insta include though I don't know how he fares in 1v1
He's bad. You want something you can follow up with after wraths, so creatures like Hellrider, Hero of Oxid Ridge, Goldnight Castigator, even Lava Hounds and Archwing Dragon are better four drops.

Zo-Zu and Ankh of Mishra are two of my fave cards, I think. I find that effect to be super funny.
Ghost Quarter isn't terrible with it, but maybe the mana is already stretched. Also, I don't really play EDH
And certainly not in the 1v1 setting.Angry Grimace

I think the new one is better
I think that's the point.

I know Emrakul is messing things up, but that's a pretty unusual transformation /s
I saw this video on Channel Awesome, "If Wizards of the Coast Were 100% Honest With Us...". I've never seen this guy's videos before, so this may just be part of his gimmick, but it was really weird how he kept complaining about how Wizards doesn't care about old players while at the same time complaining about the Reserved List. He also talks about how they don't reprint old cards, even though he shows the Eternal Masters logo at one point. It's so weird because he seems so misinformed about some things, while also doing a decent impression of MaRo and mentioning the Pro Player Payout Problem.

How dare they continue to use guillotines but declare guns a no go. That's such a flavor fail, there's just no way at looking at Innistrad and not asking where's the guns.

Even if everything else in the set sucks, I'm in for the living township with trample and haste.
Actually collector number seems to suggest green or multicolor card.

It's 130/205. You're telling me there are 70+ lands in this set?

Haha, I love that card. Though I feel like it would have been better if Hanweir Chronicles unveiled it, if that's what all of that was building up to.
I was expecting them to use devoid on the transformed side if it was colorless, but I guess they thought the flavor and card frame would be enough since the mana cost isn't visible.
Weird that the front side isn't a land.
