I think if you want to use Lullmage, you should pair him with Kira. Both cards are borderline playable in Legacy, and the synergy just might push them over the top in certain archetypes.
I also think Vampire Nighthawk has promise. If WotC prints more quality Vampires, Vampire Nocturnus might spawn a new tribal deck. (Edit: see Vampire Lacerator below, combined with the already spoiled Bloodghast and Child of Night from last M10. That's a good start already!)
New card on MTGS:
Vampire Lacerator (B)
At the beginning of your upkeep, lose 1 life unless an opponent has 10 or less life.
2/2
Compares very well with Carnophage and Sarcomancy, and plays well with the 10 life theme that Zendikar seems to have.
About Chandra:
I would assume that her ultimate requires the player to choose all targets at a single time, so it isn't really a red yawgwin. All the cards would then go back to the grave or wherever else they are supposed to go after the stack clears.

One must imagine Sisyphus happy.
Wait a minute, what's the deal here? Where do the spells go after they're cast? Is it implicit that they're removed from the game or do you literally just win with an infinitely playable lava blast in your yard?Originally Posted by Mnemon
For reference:
Chandra Ablaze 4RR
[+1]: Discard a card. If a red card is discarded this way, Chandra Ablaze deals 4 damage to target creature or player.
[-2]: Each player discards his or her hand, then draws three cards.
[-7]: Cast any number of target red instant and/or sorcery cards from your graveyard without paying their mana cost.

The cast spells go back to the graveyard. As one has to choose the targets, an infinite loop won't happen.
Gotcha; I spaced out missing the fact that there's no "until end of turn" clause.
Painter's Servant with Chandra Ablaze's ulti is pretty stupid in casual lol.
+1!
Actually, there's no targeting, but because you have to choose and cast all spells you want to cast during the resolution of Chandra's ultimate, none of those spells can get back to the graveyard in time for you to cast them again. They'll all be nicely waiting on the stack for you to finish Y.Winning the game.

Re: Chandra.
What a brilliant design! I'll never play it, but I totally dig it.
Chandra seems badass, definately going into one of my casualdecks, gonna be fun to replay all my ultimatums for free :)
Hello friend.
So I guess Chandra will be good in limited, but I wish she wasn't 6 mana so that the kind of deck that would want her could actually use her. ;\
I dunno. I think Mono Red Control in Extended could get a big boost out of Chandra, especially combined with Valakut.

You could throw a Painter in there!
So far, this set doesn't make my Spike happy. Nothing really exciting so far, besides a possible dork for the hated little green men and a combo-hoser that hoses only my beloved Solidarity as every other storm-deck plays chants or discard. My Spike is still waiting for the confirmation of the Fetchies.
Indeed it seems to be another set for some nice EDH stuff, but even in that department I'm not very excited so far.
I do like the concept and background of block, though.
More cheese = more holes ; More holes = less cheese ; More cheese = less cheese
What sort of cards would you play in this deck?
Volcanic Fallout, Lightning Bolt, Skred, Puncture Blast. Stuffy Doll. Firespout.
Word of Mother-Fucking Seizing.

No Spitebellows in here? seems like it fits the deck wonderfully, being both removal for Goyf, and a nice beater, that comboes with Stuffy Doll for 6 damage in face. I'm playing a deck like this with FTK, Genju and Thunderblust. It's quite aggro and with still a huge controlling part.
Currently Playing: Nourishing Lich.Deck

It actually occurred to me that it might be solid in a reincarnation of Wildfire/Bridge or something like that; you use a bunch of cheap burn to not die, play Bridge, play Chandra, slowly win.
As long as Chandra Ablaze doesn't cost a retarded amount of money, it'd be cheap to build, too, if anyone's looking for a cheap Extended deck.
Spitebellows doesn't combo with Chandra Ablaze.

Bridge rotates, doesn't it?
It's in 8th Ed, and if I'm not mistaken 8th doesn't rotate out until Mirrodin does.
