In other news, how did everyone in Mono Black do at preleases?
We had a midnight prerelease where I opened an awful pool and did terribly. Did open a Sylvan Primordial which, while not valuable, was something I needed another copy of. Also went to the one on Sunday where I opened a much better pool (Lotleth Troll & Blood Scrivener being the playable rares), though I did lose 1 round. Still, my prize packs included a Voice of Resurgence and a foil Obzedat's Aid.
Because I don't know Korean, I decided it would be best if I didn't go to any prereleases out here.
Oooh. Someone on vacation? I sure hope your are spreading our corruption.

In other news, how did everyone in Mono Black do at preleases?
Unfortunately not. I worked all weekend.
So I am going to do the Pontiff as the new art for now. I am planning on a new thread for M14, unless someone can give me some good reasons to wait until Theros. We'll just have to remember to update the art/title more often. When we do, I'm going to do another user cleanse again.
So in other news, I got my Kindle Fire today as a graduation present from my mom. Not gonna lie, is pretty awesome.
Nice.
I switched back to night shift. the praetor of shadows dose not like day shift. Too much light. Got a 77 cent raise. 50 for shift differential and 27 for having been their for 2 years. Met a new guy that started tonight plays magic and is an avid gamer how just happens to live on the same street as me. It's pretty nice. He's a dimir player who also loves reanimation. See dude everybody loves you
Hello, I'm the big boss of the Clan here. If you look to the first post of the clan, you'll see that you have to submit a good and concise Mono Black list for our members to critique. If we view the deck as good enough, we will let you into our ranks as a Minion. Do your time there (50 posts) and you get to be a full time member, or Disciple of the clan.
Hope to see more of you around here. We are pretty easy to get along with.
Liliana is up for the planeswalker roast. We have 7 days but submitting earlier would probably be appreciated.
Tomb Raider was on a 50% off Steam sale this weekend, so I've been playing that. It is... decent. Certainly no Farcry 3 or Dishonored. I've been playing a surprising number of 3rd-person console ports recently (those three + Darksiders & Prototype 2). I never did finish Mass Effect 2...
If anyone has an interest in cube, this is the deck I drafted yesterday. It was pretty awesome.
Never drew him. I'm honestly not sold on his inclusion in the cube, but I figured there's enough potential to test it out. Every zombie I can include helps out with Gravecrawler and Graveborn Muse. This was my first chance to play Geralf's Messenger since his inclusion and he worked out wonderfully. There was quite a bit of nonsense done with him, Stonecloaker, Restoration Angel, and Aether Vial.
So, your bum of an Evincar finally got around to doing the new banner. Changed the title to "Who Needs Blood Scrivener When You Have [CMB]" because I wasn't sure what kind of Blood Scrivener pun you guys came up with.
So in other news, I am down to a week and a half before I graduate! After that, you guys get your Evincar back full time!
EDIT: Also, while I am wondering. What would you guys prefer? A new thread at the core set or the new block? Its a ways off, but it hit my mind, so I might as well bring it up.

i would prefer core set. then we can determine how active we were from core set to core set. like we are about 1000 posts in since ravnica started.
How would that be different from block? Don't blocks come out around the same time each year (unless they shift the block structure around again)?
I feel like the Core set right before the block is part of the block. The fourth member of the band nobody really cares about, like Ringo in the Beatles. We need him we just don't want him. Like M14 will be the start of whatever the next block is as M13 was the start of Return to Ravnica. Either is technically fine but I just feel the core sets are meant to lead up to the block not finishing it.
I'm out guys. Magic is whatever really to me anymore. Plus two things. I just saw the name change. HORRIBLE! Dark confidant was a God. Scrivener is meh. Secondly. My names been misspelled on the op for quite some time now. Librarian not doin too good. Sorry guys. My dead end job is more important right now
Nah no thanks. You can keep your nerd thug tactics. It is ridiculous that I cant trade MY cards using MY databased list which is easy to update and manage. The mod community here is the terrible, virtual MTG brownshirt club.

PS. All core sets suck
Sorry to hear you have to leave. I honestly had no clue your name was spelled wrong. I just copied and pasted it from Tor's old threads and I was not aware of any misspellings. Had it been brought to my attention though, I would have fixed it. As for the name, we work with what we got, I guess...
Hope things work out for you and I hope you find your way back here some day. You're always welcome in CMB.
This is what I got for the roast. If anyone wants to add anything before it gets posted awesome. otherwise it will be posted as is when i get back from pathfinder tonight. so 2 am.
Ajani Goldmane, a broken kitten from a broken plane. Even your own pride didn't want you. They tolerated you only because your brother asked them to.
You are known as a purifier of souls. How very fortunate I don’t have one to purify. You white mages disgust me. Why heal the living when you could command the dead?
You finally got around to doing something with your talents, by using Bolas' own soul to scare him out of your plane. You know, that actually sounds like something I'd do. Now if only you could pull yourself out of the catnip perhaps we could get back to business.
Such a great leader, you run to those stronger than you for shelter. I would have you run to me. I would love to see rotting kitty flesh within my army. You were offered the position of Kha among your tribe, only to abdicate to the one that killed your brother. You now spend your time chasing a magical ball of twine across the multiverse. *Throws a ball of twine to Ajani. Have fun you cuddly little kitten, you have been de-clawed.
Here we have Arty Shovelhead the world builder, the eternal servant to whoevers spark is in his head this week. Whether it’s that moldy old man Urza, the phyrexian slime, or that disgusting worm Venser, you never quite know who is in charge of you. It’s kind of dirty when you think of it.
You know, I could really use a golem. Someone who will do whatever I say. What do you think; would you like to be infected by a little black magic again? The phyrexians did a hell of a job to Mirrodin just think what I could do. Instead of all those useless mutants it could be my own private plane of undeath.
Jace Beleren, I must commend you on your destruction of the Meta 3 years hence. The best I could do was push an established top dog into ban territory, so far at least. Your one main downfall is your conscience. It really is a useless notion. You could rule the multiverse if you weren’t such a pansy. But if you are content with allowing me to rule in your stead while you cower from your own power on Ravnica so be it.
As an aside I must ask, how’s that rash Chandra left you? Still burn when you go to the bathroom? If I had been with that little trollop I would have cast Selective Memory on myself too.
Sarkhan Vol you are the worst kind of planeswalker. At least the rest of us are in it for power, freedom, or repentance. Sarkhan on the other hand is simply a fan boy. He tried to get Bolas to play DnD with him but Bolas, being a jock, turned him down. Like any nerd Sarkhan couldn’t take no for an answer so he became a stalker and followed his reptilian overload across the multiverse. You know Bolas, you should just kill this fool. Nobody uses him.
Tezzeret, the personal love toy of Bolas, how does it feel owing your entire being to someone greater than you? You are pathetic just like Sarkhan. If you really want to deal with your masters kill them. Grislebrand learned that lesson the hard way.
You grew up in a shack and it really shows. I had no idea etherium could rust you dirty hillbilly. Given time maybe you’ll rust into a statue and bolas can put you out on the lawn.
Now we get to the man of the hour, Nicol Bolas. That sounds entirely to Russian. How much Vodka does it take to intoxicate an Elder dragon?
I see you finally have your own format EDH. I had no idea the elder dragons were highlanders. Since you’re the only one left I guess the saying is true, there can be only one. But, if your Scottish, where is your skirt? Oh ya it’s on Jaces’ bedroom floor. I know what you two do when the rest of aren’t looking. Though I suppose I shouldn't bring that up since he left you for Niv Mizzet.
So when are you going to call it quits? You are the oldest living planeswalker. I’m guessing that’s why you have had agents and whatnot recently. Age growing on you a little bit? I know not all of us can look as good as me when they reach my age but seriously you need to moisturize. Your skin is all scaly.
I'm sure this has been as fun for me as it has for all you but I really must get back to my demon slaying. They wont kill themselves you know.
It looks as though the deck was made entirely out of cards from that set. If its unintentional I would add fallen ideal. at the very least gets your guys in the air. And if you have a few extra dudes sitting around possibly pump into win range. I would not run sheoldred in this deck though. Costs too much for what looks like an aggro deck plus she doesnt have infect so any attacks she dose land would be a different damage. You may say "she's just their to reanimate and I'm not going to attack with her" But in an aggro deck you just really wanna throw your doods at the opponent as fast as possible. If the late game scares you a lot replace her with Diabolic Servitude. It ends up being much better if you keep your costs to 1, 2, or 3. reanimate 4 guys swing next turn for lethal is pretty good. I would also maybe only run 1 skithrix. Might be wrong but i think he's too much. Im sure theirs more to do but I'm really tired. I may edit tomorrow with more stuff. Also welcome to the clan(pending).
Nobody replied so it will be posted as is. I believe you said I had the go ahead to post restless.

She's just there to reanimate and I'm not going to attack with her c:
But in all seriousness, I've thought about subbing her out for something else but I haven't been able to bring myself to doing so because, yes, this card deck was made with cards from that set because I wanted to keep that Phyrexian flavor because, as we all know, black is the only color for Phyrexia and I have a tendency to build my casual decks using cards that are in standard, just for simplicity's sake. Haven't really added/removed anything from this deck for a while because it runs pretty well, all things considered.
To be honest, if I was going to do anything, I'd probably try to add more creature removal. Some damnation or mutilate and whatnot, something that's mass removal.

Well as stands it looks like your running aggro. So mass removal isn't the best idea. you could however play it more control and just rely on skythrix, decimator web, and proliferate like contagion engine. just slam the thing full of removal and discard.

Good point.
What are your thoughts on Killing Wave if I went with a more control/removal kind of thing? Would it be a good investment?

Not vacation, this trip is for work. In fact, I'm posting this message from a nuclear power plant.

2 Plains
12 Swamp
Using necropotence and smallpox earns you massive style points in my book
How was blood scrivener? Seems like an anti-combo with armageddon (another nice touch btw).
Speaking of style points, the new silvers do not get any. In fact, new slivers get this from me:
Never drew him. I'm honestly not sold on his inclusion in the cube, but I figured there's enough potential to test it out. Every zombie I can include helps out with Gravecrawler and Graveborn Muse. This was my first chance to play Geralf's Messenger since his inclusion and he worked out wonderfully.

They can't even be called meathooks anymore.
