So I know we don't know everything about it because they haven't released the decryption code yet but in the rumor mill they have been working on the thing magic posted today about a draft format.
Cogwork Librarian (4)
Artifact Creature - Construct
Draft Cogwork Librarian face up. As you draft a card you may draft an additional card from that booster pack. If you do, put Cogwork Librarian into that booster pack.
3/3
Seems weird as hell. but in a good way. What do you guys think?
Seems like a way for people to cheat somehow, or maybe cause confusion during the draft.
I like how they are trying something different without it being completely an Un set.

Not a fan. It's basically a 3/3 for 4 once the draft is over. Still, I'm intrigued by the format. I've been constructing cubes and playing limited more, so this sounds like a nice alternative to other formats. 17 cards not being legal in Legacy and Vintage is weak sauce :/
So, I know in the last thread I deleted all of the member bio answers with the intent of revamping the survey and having us take it again. So I gave it a start....we can mod it before its taken. Answer what you want. This is voluntary. If there is a question you don't want to answer, leave it out. If you have any other questions you can think of to add it, go ahead and suggest them!

So I was doing a cube variant of Winchester draft with my sibling. We did it fact or fiction style, each of us taking 5 cards and splitting them into two piles. One pick was:
So, i know its been pretty dead here, but we should probably get this going again. I personally think some of it has to do with the new forums. There are a few members we haven't heard from since the new board went live. Even I've strayed away because I'm not a fan of the new board.
Extinguish All Hope has some sick art. Definitely going to find some home in my EDH decks.
Didn't go. I usually don't go to releases or prereleases. Not really my cup to tea. My friend who usually drags me to them moved out of state, though he's moving back next week, so maybe for M15 I'll go again. I am thinking about getting a bunch of friends together to draft Theros block. It looks fun.
You guys are unfortunately failing to meet clan activity requirements. As per subforum rules, your clan thread will be archived in seven days unless activity resumes.
Yeah, we can try, but we already dodged the bullet once. I'm not too sure we can do it again. Not to mention some members never translated over and a few have left. And we haven't had any real new members except one. So, preparing for the worst, is anyone planning on staying in the clans and moving elsewhere?
Yeah, I would have taken the Stoneforge. Whats the worse he could have taken. Liliana, Pox, or Hymn. Still plenty of disruption that would be left untouched. Stoneforge becomes a threat almost immediately.

Yea, the stoneforge did kill me with the help of that germ battering ram. I got greedy, hoping that hymn would take the stoneforge. It got two polluted delta, which was not bad, but wasn't what I was looking for.
As for clans, I might disappear into House Dimir. Assuming they'll have me.

I'm not sure if I am or not. I thought about Dimir, since I'm sure they'll welcome an expert on black mana, or possibly the EDH clan. But I'm not entirely sure. I'm starting to think my time always being around MTGS is coming to an end. I'll have to think about it.

I suspect the real reason is that you wouldn't be in charge anymore. A former clan leader demoted to regular clan member sounds awful to an ambitious black mage

Yup thats it!
Seriously though, it has more to do with me rarely visiting forums anymore. Too focused on the real world anymore i suppose.
Unfortunately Clan Mono Black has failed to meet expected clans activity quotas and has been retired. If you wish to resume clan operations, PM me or another local moderator and we'll resurrect your thread for you.

Skullclamp
Chainer's Edict
v.
Sol Ring
Swords to Plowshares
Jötun Grunt
His picks so far were: squirrel nest, lingering souls, pelakka wurm, urban evolution, moment's peace, intangible virtue, harmonize, and satyr wayfinder.
I drafted a white weenie deck with extort. My sibling took the skullclamp and chainer's edict. Right call?
Edit:
Preview time!
I hope Doomwake Giant is the prerelease promo for black. It's playable!
Nightmare is now an uncommon (sort of).
And the black god convention is now in cardboard foam.
Extinguish All Hope has some sick art. Definitely going to find some home in my EDH decks.
You guys are unfortunately failing to meet clan activity requirements. As per subforum rules, your clan thread will be archived in seven days unless activity resumes.
I recently dropped a legacy tournament 1-3. Second round opponent, my opening hand was:
swamp x3
Inquisition of Kozilek
Hymn to Tourach
Pox
Liliana of the Veil
I used inquisition and saw:
Polluted Delta x3
Jace the Mind Sculptor
Deathrite Shaman
Stoneforge Mystic
Thoughtseize
I took thoughtseize, but in hindsight I should have taken stoneforge. Any thoughts?
Yeah, I would have taken the Stoneforge. Whats the worse he could have taken. Liliana, Pox, or Hymn. Still plenty of disruption that would be left untouched. Stoneforge becomes a threat almost immediately.
Yea, the stoneforge did kill me with the help of that germ battering ram. I got greedy, hoping that hymn would take the stoneforge. It got two polluted delta, which was not bad, but wasn't what I was looking for.
As for clans, I might disappear into House Dimir. Assuming they'll have me.
The next Clan Contest that will be held is the Clan Mafia.
We would like to know if there is enough interest from the clans to set this game up.
Please send me a PM to inform us whether your clan is interested in joining.
Thank you for your attention, I now return you to your regularly scheduled clan conversations.
I'm not sure if I am or not. I thought about Dimir, since I'm sure they'll welcome an expert on black mana, or possibly the EDH clan. But I'm not entirely sure. I'm starting to think my time always being around MTGS is coming to an end. I'll have to think about it.
Considering we are dying off here, I'm going to go with no...
I suspect the real reason is that you wouldn't be in charge anymore. A former clan leader demoted to regular clan member sounds awful to an ambitious black mage
It would be funny if we entered and won despite "dying off." All that black mana and no reanimation? Haha.
Yup thats it!
