Magic thread with buyback leads to repetitive conversational patterns.

The thread doesn't have buyback. It has retrace because we're still down cards every time we talk about something.

Why rest at Tome Scour when you could Mission Briefing it back from the graveyard?

might build mono U dredge when inebriated

e: discard stinkweed imp to jump-start radical idea, just think of the (poor) value

Don't need to go mono-U, but it isn't unreasonable to just cut red from the deck. It was there almost entirely for Looting. The question is, is Cathartic Reunion enough to warrant keeping red? Do blue/green/black give you a CMC 2 or less looting effect (even if it isn't as big)? Or do you lean harder on straight mill like Tome Scour + discard effects like Brutality and the Innistrad Skabs that come back from the grave?

Ideas Unbound with a heavy blue mana base is probably a decent replacement.

Edit: Actually, now that I think about it, Conflagrate is a pretty big reason to keep red. I still like Ideas Unbound, though, because you don't discard until the end of your turn, so you get to draw three and dump them for a bigger Conflagrate.

Quick, tell me all of the reasons I should stick to BW tokens and not play this ridiculous 14 anthem deck I've just come up with at FNM tomorrow:

If you are going to do token strats, why aren't you running Gideon, Ally of Zendikar? Make it an 18 anthem deck if you gonna be dumb.

Edit: Also, realize that Leyline pumps your opponent's poo poo if they are running Young Peezy or Urza.

Swank art whatever.

A lot of burn decks already splash for Destructive Revelry. Burn really isn't hurt too much assuming they get a decent mix of creatures/spells. It does bone all spell draws, especially those heavy in Rift Bolt, but that's about it.

why would they play that instead of command the dreadhorde?

The big three reasons are saving life points; it can be used a turn or two earlier; and it can piecemeal your threats against control decks so they all don't die to a single sweeper.
