Let me know if and when you change your mind. It was nice to have you around despite our disagreements.
Also, I don't know why you expect any moderator action against your post. You are not breaking any forum rules, you are simply trying to be a martyr for a lost cause.
Oh, I'm definitely breaking forum rules: I'm trying to goad you into doing exactly what you've just realized not to do! Anyway, yes: The cause may well be dead. Yes: I might appear a martyr. However! Simply because I do not divulge certain information does not mean I do not have it. Could it be because you've personally gone out of your way to ask forum members and even moderators to not post clans-subforum-appropriate content in "your clan's" thread? Just like you've been called out on, to myself and Weaver? Who is the martyr, here? Still me, I'm sure; no need to answer that.
What is your justification in possibly asking such people to possibly stop posting in this possible thread? Do you believe you know the forum's rules better than anyone else, such that you feel you need to enforce them? I don't, but I'm not trying to enforce anything: Simply trying to make myself and others feel comfortable in a place that was once my home (incidentally, I was the oldest surviving member of this clan... and I just quit! :rolleyes:).
Hopefully my forum-rule-breaking martyrdom sheds some enlightenment to people, even if I'm one of these such people. I always love finding out when I'm wrong (it gives me a chance to be a better person in the future)! This will be my last post in the Izzet clan thread, at least until I'm personally asked to post here again.

That seems like the sort of thing that'll get you hated out of the game.
Well, technically yes, but also remember that Skithiryx has regeneration, and I have a darksteel ingot in play and a swamp in my hand, so I always win the game when it happens.
Man, Karn has been getting a lot of love lately. He seems like a fun general to build though.
Very fun to play but very tough to build. The lands are all non-basics so it's a chore to find them all. It's slow, however once you're too a certain point, no one will mess with you bc of how powerful Karn is.

Another question, does participating in the BYOS help the Izzet at all?
If so, that would be a large incentive for me to join in... I'm still thinking up deck ideas.
EDIT: Also, what cards would be banned from each block for reference?

It's not a clan contest, so no, it wouldn't really help the clan. Though it would be nice for one of us to win it.
well this sucks, shame that events had to play out like they did. so on with other topics.
I have a confession I had to quit playing the U/R metalcraft for standard, I had to go with W/U which turned into poliferating planeswalker control deck. I have to tweak the list just a little more played friday and came up losing to 1st and 2nd place which were both pretty much green ramp decks. what can i say let a garruk stick on the board.
I would like to play in the byos tournment but I do not have MWS nor a reliable computer to even get online with. right now I'm stealing a friends while we wait to play dnd.
The BYOS format is very interesting. I just took the first idea that seemed good and made a list, but I didn't really search that hard for a list. There a huge amount of options.
I have never traded on MTGS.

I was wondering if anyone has an opinion on trading on MTGS. Is it any good?
I realized I need a ton of stuff for my Karn deck, so I need to trade online. Do you think I should?
I would recommend it. I have been trading on MTGS for a little over a year. I would suggest making your first few trades with members who have a large amount of iTrader refs. This will help to prevent you from getting ripped.
How's it going everybody? I know that I haven't been a very good test subject but I'll try to not forget about posting here.
Yep, trading on MTGS has been a good experience for me... only ever had one problem and it was with something where they didn't want DC and they never received. Other than that, it's been great.

This is why I think BYOS is supposed to have a banned list including any cards that are banned in their relevant block... i.e. disciple of the vault, arcbound ravager, skullclamp and the artifact lands. Not to mention rishidan port, gaea's cradle, etc.

Oh, it's not artifact based actually. It's more like blue mana ramp control. I want a Power Artifact/Filigree Sages/Gilded Lotus to make infinite blue mana and take everyone's permanents (at least that's the end game plan). What I mostly do is just sit quietly building up a mana base and stopping any one person from getting too out of control. Oh, also, turn 2 Kuldotha Forgemaster into Inkwell Leviathan, Darksteel Colossus, and/or Mycosynth Lattice & Darksteel Forge is always fun!
Very fun to play but very tough to build. The lands are all non-basics so it's a chore to find them all. It's slow, however once you're too a certain point, no one will mess with you bc of how powerful Karn is.

Official Deschanel Stalker of The Called
Yep, that's correct. The Vial is banned in block. It's a surprising list when you go through them all.
Official Deschanel Stalker of The Called
Haha, yeah if you go through the list, many of the best cards from each set were banned. Still though, there are a lot of great cards available.
Get used to it bro jk !

Tough breaks man.
Yeah, the main reason why I love BYOS is because it's so much fun trying to break the format.
Yup, creativity is key.
Hmm... I wonder if 5th Dawn could be the most powerful block? There's sure a lot of good cards that offer a lot of utility.
It certainly could be, but there are plenty of powerful cards to abuse in each block.
I'm pretty much done with my deck, now i'm just fine-tuning it and fussing with the sideboard. It seems pretty good.
Ditto. Except for the almost done part. Or it seeming pretty good part.
Basically, I have a core group of cards, but am having trouble fleshing it out.
Official Deschanel Stalker of The Called
I just built mine off of a preexisting deck, so all I needed to do was recreate as best as possible.
I'm not actually sure how well my deck will fare, but I know that it at least has a good chance at beating someone.
And I hope that people don't expect it and hate it out to bad.
for Pheon!

I don't think too many people will, but some might.
I'm still not really satisfied with my deck, but I suppose it'll be fine like this if it came down to it.
I really like this format, i've built so many bad decks, and even a few good ones:rolleyes:.
