@Pegasus: If you've never been, then this is an excellent excuse to go. Even though it's in May, I've begun making preparations to go with friends. I'm probably driving this time since last time the guys that drove weren't the most organized of folk. It'll be a 4 day event, so drive down late Wednesday night/Thursday morning early, get there, check-in/register, check out the vendors/artists. And then if that gets old quick, we're in Vegas, so we can hit the town. If there's any of you that want to fly in, I could pick you up from the airport if you don't want to rent a car. If you get a place on/near the strip, then everything is walking distance and the only place you need to get a lift to is the GP.
@Katherine: If you feel so inclined, then by all means. You can use the Kamigawa snake peoples for help in that department as well if you're going for a snake theme.

Actually, I've decided on Sisters of the Stone Death, because it fits another one of my favorite anime characters, Rider from Fate/Stay Night (I like badass purple haired women I guess )
I'm a bit more partial to Saber because they have amazing statues of her. I think they'd make better statues if they made an anime from Fate Hallow/Ataraxia because then you'd have more casual Rider since she hangs out with Sakura instead of Rider's master being Shinji.
Sisters is still a solid commander. I've been debating getting the 7 servants from Fate/Stay Night done as alters on Magic cards, but have never been able to decide which alters I want done on which Magic card. The only one I know I want done is Stonehewer Giant as Archer.
@Katherine: Yeah, I have Sisters and it can be quite blast to play with. I focused on EtB/dies triggers with that deck, taking full advantage of Mikaeus, Conjurer's Closet, Volrath's Stronghold and so on... (Link is on my signature).
@PikachuGundam: Not that I'd mind coming, but Las Vegas is quite faraway from Europe, so...

Also modgaming Bur setups is kind of treading down a dark path
What made me mad is that Iri died in Fate Zero. But for more Iri awesomeness, Fate Kaleid Liner was made. She only makes random cameo appearances, but when she does, she's amazing. For Season 2, I was expecting Bazett to show up much earlier. Now they need a part 2 of Season 2 to finish out the manga...
Ahhh, so! I randomly made a Mayael deck just now. Needs some tuning, because it was made out of what I had available, but it's surprisingly not terrible.
Fun fact, Mayael has what my Noble Phantasm would be if I were a Rider-class spirit. Basically, summoning a random, but huge mount out of thin air.
Eh, yeah. I just wanna try it. I goldfished it against Sharuum and it actually did pretty well (although Sharuum has kind of a killswitch built into it in the form of Magister Sphinx, so Mayael, despite getting sharuum very, very low, still ended up losing.)
The things I like about the deck currently are that it plays fairly well, and I enjoy having a commander who costs less than my normal 5-6 mana ones. I dislike the high activation cost on Mayael, and on the current selection of creatures in the deck. I need more good ones.
Can you guys suggest some? I have a ton of just placeholders that are there to get some value off her ability from the 5+ creatures I had on hand.
Hmmm, there's a lot to love there. But from the list, and my initial testing with Mayael, here are the ones I think I'd look to pick up (Some are also just out of my budget right now.)
Godsire is cute, but really needs evasion (ie trample). I guess she can solve that problem, but at that point, I'd rather just land Thunderfoot Baloth with Mayael on the table.
Well. That's 2 for Greel. Guess I'm going with him. I'll keep you guys posted.
@Pikachu: I really, really want to go to Vegas. The problem with that is that California is very far away from New York.
@Scypher: That is a horrible thing to do. I love it.

I really ship her and Irisviel.
But anyway, yeah. Sisters is great for Rider because it encompasses her mystic eyes and the big ability kinda encompasses her whip and bridle.

Awakening, Seedborn Muse, Patron of the Orochi, Quest for Renewal, Sword of Feast and Famine, Bear Umbra, Magewright's Stone, Quirion Ranger, Puppet Strings, Staff of Domination, Nature's Chosen.
Some of that stuff synergizes well with Mayael anyways.
EDH-wise im planning a deck for Yasova Dragonclaw, its been a while since I have worked on a Voltron style deck.
What have you guys been up too?

So I was testing my Greel, Mind Raker deck on Cockatrice and it is verrrry fun to play. I do have one major problem with it though.
Greel.
I never play him. He just sits in the command zone while my deck does all the work. (Bloodhusk Ritualist is nuts.)
So this is where I'm at. I need a mono black commander that still fits the discard/control theme or benefits from graveyards.
What I'm looking at: Hythonia the Cruel, Geth, Lord of the Vault, Sheoldred, Whispering One, Kokusho, the Evening Star UNBANNED
Other ideas would definitely be appreciated.

Geth is mana intensive, but will do some serious work. Plus black is one of the best colors at generating big mana.
