Me and the boys on the way to kill another demon god
Now I'm just holding out hope for some massive lots-of-abilities creature in the Origins/BFZ so that Soulflayer can live on another season. Otherwise, it looks like it might possibly be somewhat viable in Modern maybe?

I hope this drives up the number of chromantiflayer decks at my FNM because it is so hilariously bad like 90% of the time, and when it works it is just so great that you can't be mad at it.

Edit: Can someone repost how to find your lifetime record? I am morbidly curious.

Soulflayer rotates out along with everything FRF and prior when BFZ hits.

The list looks pretty similar to this one on TCGplayer: http://magic.tcgplayer.com/db/article.asp?ID=12358

The differences I noticed were Deathmist Raptors and Den Protectors instead of the Tasigurs, Torrent Elementals, and Sultai Charms.

Edit: Just saw Torrent Elemental in G2, so maybe it started out in the board?

Theros block and M15 rotates. KTK and FRF don't rotate until Tears comes out next spring, then you have DTK/ORI, BFZ/Sweat, and Tears.

... No it doesn't. KTK/FRF don't rotate until 2016. The only thing that rotates when BFZ comes out is Theros and M15.

I've been trading like FRF was going to rotate out in October.

Yeah, I thought Theros would rotate first, then not too soon after stuff would start rotating out more quickly. I still feel the change is weird and kinda confusing, but whatev's.

Speaking of this match, apparently Whip of Erebos + Dragonlord Atarka = :stare:

It loses its easy Hexproof and Indestructible keywords when Theros rotates, I think it will probably get worse if anything with rotation.

That deck is so sweet, I loved strength from the fallen when it first got spoiled but never pulled the trigger on making a deck to exploit it.

What a dumb way to get a game loss. Chapin kind of did the same thing earlier when he cast Read the Bones and just put the two directly into his hand, forcing him to declare to draw both.

A drat stupid way to end a nail biting game if it goes through. He didn't reveal it automatically, but in my eyes the card was kept separate from his hand enough to be distinguished.

Jesus these excuses are flimsy. At the Pro Tour level, it's pretty obvious he should get a game loss here. Debate the validity of the rule afterwards, but no way is a judge going to save you here.
