A rant on Standard

May Whenever:

For those of you that don't play cards, you're going to be very confused, for that I apologize.

So I've been playing a ridiculous amount of Magic over the last few months and I don't really have the luxury of letting up, not if I want to actually make it on the train this year and try to make a real push.  

That said, I hate Standard right now.  With a passion.  I've played it for so long and it's ridiculous.  My friend Ryan put it very well last night.  Standard is basically Wizards handing everybody decks.  Here's Elves, here's Kithkin, here's Faeries, here's some great RG Aggro cards, here's the ability to play any card in your deck that you want (lol Vivid Lands and Reflecting Pool) go play.  What happened to the days of ingenuity?  There are a few decks out there, like the Swans list from the Japanese or the Sanity Grinding lists, but it's just not the same.  Decks seem to come manufactured.  I can't WAIT for M10 and the next block to come out so that I can stop playing with tribes (although Shards is a bit manufactured in that way, I'm sure there will be more creativity involved).
