I like the deck, and actually think it will be good for the format. I, for one, am fully prepared to face it at Columbus, and will be *very* dissapointed at wizards if they emergency ban a two card combo that requires 11-12 useless cards in the maindeck.

Yes, the combo is fast, but the format has proven time and time again that it can deal with fast, consistant combo decks. This will be no different. Chalice at one shuts off practically all of the decks tutors (I'm talking Columbus legalities here), and it's not like Leyline of the Void sees no play whatsoever. The blue decks have stifles, meddling mages, and 4-7 free countermagic.

Decks such as gobblins don't really have a method of dealing, aside from a blue splash for stifle, but they cant really deal with the formats present combo decks anyway!

Viable decks will emerge that can deal with it, and I expect the field will balance out quite nicely, even if it isn't quite as crazy diverse as it is now.

Finally, if you guys are all buying the cards, then why on earth are you petitioning to get the deck emergency banned? That doesn't make sense any way you look at it.

Post-FS will be a very different story as the deck gets much, much better. Still, I think that should be an argument for the banning of the green pact, as opposed to the combo entirely.
