		<description><![CDATA[A few things.  First off, could you provide a link to part one?  I can&#039;t find it and was wanting to reread it alongside part 2.

Secondly, I have a slightly higher opinion of Tajuru Preserver.  Sure, Vampires is an underdog at the moment so Gatekeeper isn&#039;t such a constant worry, but at my local FNM there are tons of Vampires decks still, and a turn 2 Preserver sometimes throws all their plans out of joint.  Now they have to burn a Smother on it, taking a tempo hit on the 1 mana they can&#039;t find a way to spend, and by the time their Gatekeeper comes down my Treespeaker has cranked out 2-3 more guys and it&#039;s too late for Gatekeeper to stall me out the way it likes to.

It&#039;s also rather a sick card to stick against creatures with Annihilator.  Depending on the presence of &quot;make Eldrazi and smash&quot; decks and Vampires in your meta, I can see boarding some Preservers when running Elves.

I also strongly agree with you about Momentous Fall.  This is a card that screams &quot;combo engine&quot; to me.  It&#039;s a bit expensive mana-wise but this is the sort of thing that you would expect to see in some sort of &quot;dig through your own library for a certain card and then win&quot; combo deck.  Cards like this kickstart the combo engine when it has sputtered out.  It all depends on what returns in Scars.  If we see a return of Modular this card could skyrocket.  :)  (but all the same, I&#039;m praying to all that&#039;s holy that Modular is never reprinted.)

As for Realms Uncharted:  I am grabbing every copy I can find, along with stockpiling Tectonic Edges (I&#039;m up to about 30).  Why?  It came to me in a dream:  I think Crucible is coming back in Scars.  It fits the theme and concept, and it breaks the HELL out of Landfall.  It would be a perfect fit, probably as a Mythic in Scars.  Who agrees / disagrees with my guess?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I snagged a playset of Linvala on mtgo before her price went up.
The price didn&#039;t go up that high, at least not yet. It seems to have leveled off after the initial rush to buy them.

All the people who overhyped Momentous Fall are certainly eating their words now I bet. Yes, it is a fine card, but people were hyping to hilarious heights.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[MH seems a little unnecessarily anal. Sure, valid criticism, but not the most polite way of delivering it. 

I really appreciate your write-ups and insight. Thank you!]]></description>
