I played from Revised (1994) to Stronghold (1998) and kept my cards tucked away.  I started playing again during Scars block (2010).  12 years later I was glad I had kept those original cards.

{hymn of tourach}
{hypnotic specter}

I played a game against this style deck just the other day.  He cascaded into treasure hunt though

{Didgeridoo}!

{STORM CROW}!

But seriously, I wonder if something like {Squadron Hawk} or {Thrummingbird} might be better than {Roc egg}.  The egg is super flavorful but that is about it.  Hawk will be good anytime you draw it in this deck.  Thrummingbird might be good for more feather counters.

{Assault Formation}, {Rolling Stones} and {Wakestone Gargole} seem like good fits here.  They won't play nice with shroud however.

The point is to enable mature people to have a more powerful app, where we can use words like .love. and .bore. without offending drama queens. The point is to have real legal catch for people like Kuberr who steal from us, so that when Ultimate Law non-profit gets funding we can pursue legal action agains them.

From a legal stand point I see this being a smart move but if you do it "for the community" it will limit the people who want to be apart of the community. With work arounds even the most immature of 16, and younger, year olds could access this forum. I don't question whether or not there are mature individuals under the age of 17, I simply stated it would be easy to get around the restrictions.

No it will expand the community, as we will have additional boards where only iMtG Plus users, who are automatically assumed to be mature, could operate. For example, everyone could moderate their own threads there. I do nothing for the community, I'm part of the community so if I improve the experience for myself, it improves for the community too. This is how free market works in reality. Makers don't give a .poo., they just make best products they can for themselves and share it with polite people. Who pay.

As one of the older members of this community, I'm in favor of this.  Having a mature section would be nice.  Not that I'm after excessive cursing, nudity or general lewdness in any way.  Yet having the ability to do this occasionally to prove a point or quote an author, etc would be appreciated.

A good way to do this is to build a block cube.  Just choose a set block that you like.  For example, I liked scars of mirrodin.  I got full sets of common/uncommons for the 3 sets on eBay for cheap.  Then acquired the rares/mythics I wanted or could afford.  Then balance it with cuts or additions. There will already be a level of balance in the block already so it should be too hard.  If you choose a recent block it won't be hard to get the cards you need.  I bought the full common sets soon after release.  I bought the rares after the sets rotated from standard.  It was very affordable and our group has gotten countless hours of play from it.

Oops that's {W} {U} {G} but it's still good.  Those pre-cons are decent way to play now.

The pre-constructed {U} {W} commander 2013 deck called Evasive Maneuvers might be a good starting point.

I think he uses Tezzeret's -4 for the win

iMtg 1 was built on a platform that isn't supported any more and things were starting to break.  It was time to move on.  It would only get worse.

I'd run more creatures or at least protect the ones you have.  Maybe {vines of vastwood} or {ranger's guile} if you like combat tricks.  Maybe try some hexproof creatures like {slippery bogle} or {gladecover scout}.
