Never! The name is too cool to upset the alliance, even if that may be the only reason :D.
So to talk for the sake of hearing my talk (well, type I guess). Tomorrow is the last FNM I have where I can face my Nemesis for a long time. And while we may have settled things, I still need to win, if only to prove that I am better than he thinks I am. Wish me luck! Tomorrow though, I know I am going to have do deal with some ramp/rock style decks. I got lucky last time but a buddy of mine talked to people going tomorrow and they mentioned what they were playing. Is there anything that RDW (what I am taking again) can sideboard to help. I was thinking some Unwilling Recruit.
Fulminator Mage is good against Ramp decks. And if your able to splash black you can run Blightning as well :).

Yeah. I plan to run the Mages. I doubt I'll go with Blightning, just because I dont have the stuff for a nice mana base for it and I'd rather be consistant.
Fix'd.
Resolve it. Start beating. If they try to kill it, own their lands in the face. If they get the single Vivid, X Reflecting Pool draw, you may even want to own them as soon as you play it.
It seems decent, BHB. I'd work on the mana base though. Arcane Sanctum and Orzhov Basilica seem pretty bad. (The deck box overrode your i's and u's.)
However, I think The Rock plays disruption better than your deck, and Zoo plays the beatdown better. A good deck may find it hard to compete in a meta of great decks.
Another thing worth noting is that Dredge is stupid (and rarely played), and not usually worth SBing against. I'd cut the Extirpates for Engineered Explosives if you can them. Also, what's Deathmark in there for?
My stint at the army has being rather relaxed so far (especially when you consider that I had 2 holidays and 5 days off within 3 weeks...). Pretty much the only sucky thing is the pay :\. But then again there's free food and stuff so I can spurge on Magic during week ends .
Presuming his deck is extended, Ive seen alot of people use deathmark to delay elf decks by a turn when they dont have a better turn 1 play, or in his case doesnt draw one of his discard spells.
Other then that, IDK
(No, i really dont know if its extended, Ive only been playing MtG for 7 months, and im not checking every card Ive never heard of.)
Yep, it's Extended. I guess I should swap those Deathmark for Etherswore Canonist against Elves on second thought.
It's still not colorless, and has no color. That's a paradox. So either you're a Zen master or an idiot, I'll assume the Zen master for sake of argument. This card will have no paradoxes because it has a clear paradox. Deep stuff man.
Well basically, Valentine broke a few forum rules by leeching a photo. He always had this spammy quality to him, so I wasn't too surprised when he got suspended the first time. When he came back, he decided it would be funny to break the same rule again with the photo, ended up getting busted and got suspended for another month. The next day, however, his brother came on and made an account on the same computer, which is a big no-no and it caused him and Valentine to be banned from the site.
I see, that's sad. :/
btw: So how do you see black today? Is it still possible to play mono?
Either way, I'm trying to win the tourney tomorrow, and guess which color I'm going to choose?

Today, black isn't that good. Some people are still trying to keep the old MBC list over in Standard Decks for Critque forum. But I gave up on it when it lost alot of stuff from Timespiral. Grixis failed us and will hopefully bring us back some good gems. It makes me sad that I am playing RDW in T2 over anything with black.
Im playing R/W Vengeant/Lark tonight =( IM a sellout.
Furthermore can someone explain said triple alliance, and why the izzet over-"flavor" themselves ?
Your not a sellout until you play Faeries.
The triple Aliance was The Izzet, House Dimir, and Rakdos. When Rakdos fell out of exsistance, we were asked to replace them. So now its The Izzet, Us, and Dimir.
The Izzet "over flavor" themselves because they have tremendously huge egos.
I can't go to FNM tonight to face my nemesis. Everyone who would go with me bailed for other stuff. I normally wouldn't mind driving myself down, but not with a predicted 6 inches of snow. (which probably means were going to get like 3 in reality:p) I can't beat my nemesis tonight, though, which makes missing this FNM hurt....like hard.:mad:

Well.......yeah, that sounds about right. Thats why I joined the Izzet, they were the only clan that could hold my ego :link:.......that and I AI...:love:.

I like these guys, but there are such things as too much flavor. Like kool-aid a 4 year old makes, Mark Rosewaters Flannel Collection, and the most painfully obvious........... Hot Topic.

Hot Topic might be the worst idea ever. Let's encourage our youth to be self-depreciating, emotionally unstable, and exceedingly needy.
@ the rest of the post, though.
Scryb Ranger made that matchup so stupid.
Yeah, Psionic Blast randomly won me so many games.
I also drew a couple unwinnable games with it.
Does anyone else think Sedraxis Alchemist on turn three after a turn two Courier's Capsule (and maybe a turn one Executioner's Capsule) will be ridiculously good in Block?
Don't remind me. I have nightmares! NIGHTMARES I tell you.
The Alchemist seems nice with what you said. So I really can't wait for block season. I'm either going with an updated flare list from a page or two back, or I may spread into a 4 or 5 color control deck. See wizards, people will actually play your domain theme! Mana bases will be atrocious.:gaping:
So I just finished getting my extended deck together. I know, it took, what, a whole 5 minutes. lol.
Ideally, I would love to play GWB rock or something similar, but Sadly, I don't have any of the gems for it, so this is my best bet. I really hate not playing anything with black.
<<< WINNER winner chicken dinner tonight, dominated FNM , 16 people turnout, 4-0 Swiss, 3-0 Final 8. Never lost a match. Played fae in final 8, mono-white kith in final 4, and cruel control in finals. =).
I won like 15 packs, but they all sucked =(. My mythics were Godsire and Prince of Crap Rares. I did get a Ranger of Eos. =/

You said you were running VengeantLark Right? Can I see your list? I've been wanting to try out a vengenat lark deck eventually.
I wouldn't play any Darksteel Citadel if you're only playing 3 Shrapnel Blast. After all, Finkel only played one Citadel, and he had a set of Blasts. There are a lot of situations where the extra R will help a lot.

Conflux sucks enough that I'm desperate to grab hold of anything that might look worth while:
Nyxathid :1mana::symb::symb:
Creature - Elemental (R)
As ~ comes into play, choose an opponent.
~ gets -1/-1 for each card in the chosen player's hand.

It's nothing new, but it should help Blightning decks along. Ashame dark ritual isn't printed anymore.
lol guys,,,, sup its me been wayy too busy on WOW... just wanted to say sup to my clan
Your not the only one busy, applying for graduate school is starting to become very painful, especially without my gf to cheer me up after the chores are over.

I know. I saw that and my jaw dropped. I love it. I will definitely be playing that in my legacy Suicide Black deck. Its arguably better than Phyrexian Negator

Arcane Sanctum is my Godless Shrine substitute, Vulshok Morningstar is Umezawa's Jitte substitute, while the Raven's Crimes are there for more Thoughtsiezes. I guess I could try out Engineered Explosives. Is Withered Wretch sufficient to take on Life from the Loam/Darkblast or should I replace them with the more fraquile Yixid Jailers?
Yep, it's Extended. I guess I should swap those Deathmark for Etherswore Canonist against Elves on second thought.

Faeries raping you with their tiny...swords? :evillol::uhh::unibrow:
Esper Aggro could be really good...
Turn one Court Homunculous.
Turn two Courier's Capsule, beat for 2.
Turn three Sedraxis Alchemist, bounce their dude, beat for 2.
Seems like a pretty good start, since you can follow up with some Tidehollow Scullers.
Wait...Sedraxis Alchemist isn't an artifact creature...never mind.

Uhh...why didn't you keep them for draft sets? Don't tell me you don't draft...
And 2 Citadels are fine, especially with a full suit of Nexus's :).
Instead of Smash to Smithereens, did you mean Shattering Spree? That would make more sense.
You could alway run All In Red, too. That runs black...sort of...in the form of Demigod of Revenge...
Thanks to spiderboy4 of High~Light Studios for the awesome banner and avatar!
No, I believe he meant StS.
Its good because it is burn in addition to artifact destruction :).
But, Psi's right in that Smash to Smithereens is better in the Bolt deck. So ignore what I said.
I feel that the Bolt deck is "safer" than All-In-Red, but also less explosive. It more consistently achieves its game plan, as all of its non-land cards contribute to the win, while AIR's non-lands do a myriad of tasks, including generating extra mana, locking down the opponent, adding to the Storm count, and act as win con (often requiring large sums of mana).
