barefootlife, thank you for your thoughts on the Mary-El! Most of the problems I'd heard about the cardstock were about its size... Is it better or worse than the Shadowscapes? That deck is my base for bad cardstock.
As for the Slow Holler, you're preaching to the choir. That is my absolute favorite deck! Are you saying that if I own the Slow Holler the Mary-El won't do much for me?
Yeah... That was my feeling on it. I guess in a way I'd be mostly paying for the (very nice!) design of the cards and for the keywords. If it was maybe 10 bucks cheaper I'd easily spring for it, honestly.

At its base color mage is paint chips. That isn't a diss, just an observation.
Go to any big do it yourself store and take a look at their paint department. The world is your oyster there, both color, and lots of brands now have chips with images (blossoming apple trees come to mind). Unless you take the whole stack of one color, they don't mind how many you take, that is the point of them being there.
The paint names are interesting in themselves, or you can write oracle names in yourself. A new name each time the cards come up because that is the strength of oracles, no set fool or 9 of swords...
