I've been looking through this and whilst it's not something I usually notice all that much, some of the flavour text is just awful. I already pointed out Oath of Chandra, but I'm only down to blue so far and Ancient Crab and Unity of Purpose are both just so clunky.
Oh, not to mention...
I don't think I've ever seen a Master Quest run, so I'm looking forward to that. Banjo Kazooie is one of my favourites as well but I actually don't think it makes a great speed game.
Actually it might be better to just make the Arachnogenesis in to Time Warp. All you need is to resolve Doomsday and be able to make {U}{U}{U}{U}{B}{R}{G}{4} every turn and you can go infinite.

Anybody watching AGDQ this year? I've caught a few bits, and Battle Boy was a personal highlight as I'd never even heard of the game before and it looked really cool.

I interpreted this to mean something like Evermind or Hypergenesis:
Blind Leader (no mana cost)

Blind Leader can't attack or block...
I do this and it's very popular, but it does add another thing to explain at the start of a draft with new players, along with ULD, mention it's not singleton and whatever else.
Oath of the Gatewatch seems like the set they've been building up to since Lorwyn, pretty much. It seems fairly transparently a set up for the Magic movie, and a shift from self-contained block stories to overreaching arcs. I'm interested where this is coming from - planeswalkers as the...
I love Restoration Angel, it's one of my all time favourite cards. It's so flexible, matches to your power level although it has a pretty reasonable floor as 3/4 flash flying, and I even like the art.
