True, you can get a much better pleasure% if you get rid of your profit making mentality and focus more on the casual market and the emerging opportunities found in EDH. I'd say you can get a Fun/money return of at least 12% above average when compared to online games for instance.

-The general can be any rare/non-mythic legend
-The other 99 cards can only be C/UC (no limit on uncommons)
-Cards count at their lowest printed rarity (ex: Loxodon Warhammer, since it was uncommon in MD)

Any suggestions on generals that would work well with this?

I have recently come into possession of Elspeth Tirel, and though it breaks my heart to see her go, I'd be willing to part with her at a steep price.

In exchange I'd like your box of SoM, or all the following T2 non-Basics to complete my playsets:

1x Misty Rainforest
3x Arid Mesa
3x Marsh Flats
3x Scalding Tarn
1x Rootbound Crag
2x Drowned Catacomb
3x Glacial Fortress
PM me if you're interested and I'll get back to you.

Dude Elspeth is a sleeper! She'll skyrocket like Eye of Ugin, Thada Adel and SteamFlogger Boss in no time!

In one month's time, you'll be on your knees begging him to take your lowly sealed box of Scars to see if you could at least get an Elspeth that was left in his pants during a wash or maybe one that his little brother practiced altering cards on.

I think this is a great improvement from the GDS1, and I'm looking forward to participating. Off to create a world/block...

Going with this option for now, since I have almost everything I need for it already on hand. One friend apparently built Slivers.

Aggro seems to be the way to go, since there really are few C/UC sweepers that do more than minimal damage or -x type effects.

i toss mine in the garbage. after a month of drafting a set i just open up the pack, check the rare and uncommons and toss the rest. Why even look, i got all the playable commons already.

You could take them to the local children's hospital or a charity. Better than tossing them, imo.

Yeah, those are the oversized cards used to play Archenemy. "When you set this scheme in motion..." is the templating. Some of the schemes are just flat out busted, particularly if the player is allowed to build his own 20-card scheme deck with doubles of the most powerful schemes...I loved Planechase, especially with EDH, but Archenemy was kind of junk.
