Just that. A while ago it was talked about quite a bit, especially in reference to its ability to beat Mono-U. Is it just that it passed from general notice, or did everyone try it and dissmis it, or what?
And Po started a primer aon it, right? Was that lost in the server move, or am I just not looking hard enough in the archives?

Except that replenish is restricted...
No it it's not, only in extended.
And there it's banned.
Well, I can test it in real life minus the Moxen (Except the pearl).
Have you found the off-color moxen to be a big help? It seems that with the high colored mana requirements of most of the spells, you might run into trouble.
You took out the Abeyance/Chants. Were they just not working for you?
I'll proxy the other 4 moxen and do some playtesting. Thanks.
Maybe Abeyance isn't needed with all the must-counters.
Honestly, I haven't tried Popalescence yet and will have to try it like Parfait before I get it.
It's not a criticism of the deck... I'm just slow. All I understand is to think Urza's Saga-era Replenish.
The off-color moxen ARE a big help ! This deck is so much better with them. Do you like to play a first turn enchantress ? Chants and Abeyances are so bad in this deck, that I can't believe it. I tested it and it was terrible. City of Solitude is much better in this slot, because you can replenish for it and tutor for it. I hope, that I helped you.
