Nothing much interesting in my colors except for the Bog Tatters against nonexistent black-playing opponents. There was also a Noble Vestige, which sucks, and about three good green cards, which were thoroughly unworthy of a splash, including Harrow and Timbermaw Larva. And the Grim Discovery was actually better than the black Expedition, which always came into play much too late to bring anything back.
EDIT: I decided I want to try this format. I assembled a stack of 255 cards I own that I like or would like to see in action but never did for some reason. I'll give it a whirl the first time I get the chance for some multiplayer action. Looks like Brilliant Ultimatum may finally have found its place.

If it turns out to be fun, maybe I'll build an alternate, graveyard themed stack. Flashback, Unearth, reanimation, Threshold, spellshapers, Ichorid, Squee and the like (with a bit of Dredge maybe?) would make for interesting gameplay when everyone's using the same graveyard.
EDIT: Fa'adiyah Seer rocks in this format. Hooray for a two mana Archivist in green!
EDIT2: Disregard the above edit. I totally misread the card.
EDIT3: Wait, it still works as I wanted it, just exactly reverse to what I intended. You use your normal draw step draw to grab a random spell from the stack and then the Seer to draw a land from outside the game.

Yeah, I intend to try Stack Magic soon, but I just think that a random slew of cards would be better. I don't really care whats in it, if you've got about seven players playing stack, thats fun.

One thing I noticed while assembling my first attempt at a stack is that cards like Recollect and Raise Dead now gain new functionality and together with Zombify effects form a two-part Confiscate kind of deal.
Imagine the hilarity of getting hit by Cruel Ultimatum, then returning the card to your own hand and retaliating with it.
EDIT: Decided to add Cairn Wanderer, Master of the Wild Hunt, Siege-Gang Commander and Luminarch Ascension. I'm on the fence about Vicious Shadows.
EDIT2: I think I may have to remove Open the Vaults. Looks like its inclusion is impossible without some wonky rulings. Perhaps players pick their artifacts and enchantments from the graveyard in APNAP order?

I'd say so, until no artifacts and enchantments remain. But, since it doesn't target, it would be very risque to rule that each player chooses, so I don't know how that would work. I'd solve it this way: extract the artifacts and enchantments from the grave, and deal them out to all players randomly. That way they each have a fair chance at getting that Grappling Hook or that Luminarch Ascension.
As for Vicious Shadows, I see no reason not to run it. It seems rather legit, and adds some strategy to decide whether its worth to draw cards or just get a land.

So I finally got to try the stack. Me and a buddy played two 1vs1 games. We had a lot of fun and want to try this with two other people for significant hilarity.
There's a lot of tension when you have one of each basic land type in play and two cards with different double color cards, like Shunt (1RR) and Daring Apprentice (1UU).
The funniest moment:
I have Mistblade Shinobi, opponent has Looter il-Kor and Bant Battlemage. I play Demonic Dread targetting Bant Battlemage and cascade into... Goblin Shortcutter. Hooray for redundancy!
Maga, Traitor to Mortals is probably the most awkward card in my stack. Will consider removing.
I also find it interesting that multicolor cards are actually much easier to play in this format than color intensive mono ones.

The green thing is kinda meh, but the land is pretty fancy. Also, hooray for the reprint!
(I hope this post is sufficiently vague to not aggravate those who want to avoid spoilers. Unless "there's a reprint Woock likes" is already too much of a spoiler)
EDIT: I'm browsing through Mirrodin block rares right now, because the block has so many quirky cards in it, and found that Leveler is instawin in the Stack format, unless someone forces you to draw before the next player's draw step.

Wow, I think that would really tick some people off if drawn, so it would be amazing for the stack.

Yes. You put Elephant Grass's cumulative upkeep on the stack first, then Braid's. Then you first get the mana from Braid of Fire, then can use it to pay for Elephant Grass.
