Also, I'm not worried about simple grammer mistakes just yet. I'd rather get the story down first so I don't lose it then go back and edit the spelling and grammer. -

Sir Auron25 posted a message on Red White Control-can zendikar make the spanish inquisition a better deckI have to agree with you. Spanish Inquisition, first off, is a great deck that is amazingly good if you know how to play it. I play it myself, and honestly, out of all the decks I have to try to salvage for post rotation, this one I'm the most confidant about.Posted in: legacy dude 345 Blog

Sir Auron25 posted a message on [fnm Report] T2 - 6/19/09It works if you play smart and don't overextend. The Critters don't need to stay around long. Once I gain board control (usually after a sweeper or flashing Cliques to block and kill threats), I am usually set to go. I also hit with Cruel to hit hard and start picking them off with my little critters. Banefire's help finish the job too. If I find my creatures blocking and dying too quickly, I side in Soul Manipulation.Posted in: Sir Auron25's Farplane
This was brought to my attention Friday Night. Apparently, this deck is remarkably similar to a deck that won something in Germany or something. I'm currently looking for the list. -

Second off, I do believe doing the classic mono-black void is too cliche and way too narrow. Also, its too reminiscent of Phyrexia. This contest isn't about creating a world in which we would live, but is instead designed to be an overall great world. To do that, I don't feel like focusing on black is the best option, but to give each color a fair representation and to not over-cater to black. That said, we can still make our color the most awesome!
That said, I propose this. Its an idea I have been working on for a custom set, so I might toss in some mechanics and stuff like that, but we can separate all the mechanics later.
Premise: This is based off my desire to see a ton of world cultures represented as magic sets, especially recently with the addition (Finally) of greek-mythology inspired themes in Theros.
I felt that a good world could be created from the Native American culture, specifically the notion of spirit animals. The set would have an enchantment theme. Totem armor would make an appearance.
Name: Elohi, Realm of Spirits
The basic design would focus on various tribes, each focusing their culture and religion on a specific naturally occurring phenomenon that acts as a locus of mana, such as the black-based tribe's locus of mana is focused on a deep-welled cave and the red-based tribe is focused on a great volcano. Each of the locus has a "legendary spirit guardian".
Plot-wise, a folk tale would tell of how one of the guardian spirits did something to another. To reflect the culture, it could be something simple like lying or cheating at a game, or stealing, but it teaches a valuable lesson. This folk tale would explain how one particular locus is weaker than the others and how one is greater than the rest.
This part here wasn't planned. I'm just going on the spur of the moment here. Plot wise, our young hero could make a journey to each locus and gain a totem marking, like a tattoo, and to restore balance to the the five locus and to stop the true villain behind the locus imbalance, he would have to receive five totems, the Eagle (White), the Shark (Blue), the Raven (Black), the Boar (Red), and the Wolf (Green).
Just an idea there. I am working on it a s a custom set, so what do you guys think?
Yeah there is no art. I couldnt find a big picture for Phikara's Curse, so I figured we could pick something else or do the mash up. Maybe toss in Ashiok and some of the other Zombies, because I love those arts.
Also, somewhere along the lines, we lost the bios, so we can revamp that and do those again if we want to.

Welcome are those who embrace their inner dark side. While black mana is about death, destruction, and the undead, we must not forget the essence of what makes blak mana what it is. Black mana is all about power. The end result means everything, the ends always justify the means and only those with the ambition to get their hands dirty deserve power.

BBBMembership Guidelines and Group ReponsibilitesBBB
Section 1: Membership
To become a member, you are required to submit a mono black deck list. This list can be of any format but it is to be a serious deck. (I.e. It has to be functional. I do not wish to see decks that are just black cards and Swamps mashed together, as these are a disgrace to the name [Clan Mono-Black]. Any format is welcome: Standard, Legacy, EDH, or even a casual deck built with no format in mind! There will always be someone here to be able to give good feedback.
Section 2: Rising Through the Ranks
The Evincar is the leader of the clan and is voted in by all members of the Disciple, Praetor, Scion, and Evincar class. He is in charge of ruling the clan, memberships, conduct, and keeping the first post up to date. The Evincar also appoints a Scion, who will be his second in command. Between the two, one must be the clan representative. The Evincar and the Scions elect Praetors, which is a user group exclusively for elite and elder members. It is designed for members who will stand up for the clan should the Evincar and Scion become inactive or neglect their duties. Disciples are members. To become a member, one must first start off as a Minion. Minions are required to submit a Mono-Black decklist (see Section 1). Once a Minion fulfills his or her decklist requirement, they are required to stay around and post for a minimum of 50 posts in a relatively reasonable time. Then they are added to the Disciple category, where they can specialize and choose what they like most from black mana as their title.
If you are a Disciple and you manage to become inactive for an extended, unexcused period of time and you get moved to the Thrull category, your title is forfeit and it becomes up for grabs. Should you return and become active again, your title will not be waiting for you if someone else took it. You will be forced to create a new one. As a general rule of thumb, if you were not posting in the last thread, or posted very little, you will be bumped down one rank. This will continue until you are added to The Corrupt user group.
Section 3: Friendship Policy
If you wish to become a friend of [Clan Mono-Black], you are only required to post. You are welcome to explain why you wish to be a friend (for example, if you are from an allied clan or if you just like black mana as a secondary color, or if your just friends with clan members here!). If you wish to to become a member after you are a friend. You will still have to follow new membership guidelines by submitting a blacklist. However, if you have already reached the magic number of 50 posts as a friend, you will automatically become a Disciple! If you were inactive or inconsistently active, you will still be required to submit 50 posts in a relatively timely manner.
Section 4: Resignations
For those members who wish to step down from the clan for whatever reason, you are to simply state it in a post. You will then be added to our friends list. Should you chose to return as a Disciple, simply state so and the members of the clan will decide whether or not to readmit you. No hard feelings shall be held against those who peacefully leave. However, should one leave on bad terms, the user might be added to the Black List.
Section 5: Conduct
While a member, you will be expected to follow all rules of the forums. This means no advertising, no hotlinking , no spamming, no flaming, and general manners are to be used. We will also expect card tags and deck tags when you post decks. We also would like you to post in a semi-professional manner. Pretty much just follow MTGSalvation Guidelines. You are also expected to have fun around here! In addition to following the basic MTG Salvation Guidelines, I expect all members to post with thought, substance, and purpose.
Section 6: Exile
Should you misbehave inappropriately or disobey the forum rules, you will be asked to stop posting in this clan and will be added to the Black List.

Card I Want Reprinted:
If I ruled the world....:
But I did miss the entirety of Theros being spoiled. I'll have to sit down and give it a good look through.
But now that Theros is 100% spoiled, I think its time we start discussing the art and title of our yearly new thread! I did have a preliminary idea of [CMB] Escapes from the Underworld or The Underworld Escapes from [CMB] for a more power hungry sound.
We also need to discuss art. Erebos is a basic go to, but I am not entirely fond of his art...
I'm really excited for Thoughtseize.
Acutally, I am just really excited for Theros in general. They are just spoon feeding me flavor and I am eating it up!
Actually, nice call on Food Chain, Dechs. I never knew of this card, but I definitely think I could find a use for it in a couple decks.:thumbsup:

My only budget is a restriction I place on all of my EDH decks, spending no more than $20.00 on any single card, meaning no original duals or onslaught fetches. I am going to end up breaking down and getting a Survival of the Fittest. I am still debating on Crucible of Worlds, mainly because Wasteland is out of my price range. Still, I am considering it though. Aside from those two, I do plan to follow my budget rule.

Aside from the basics, one little thing of note I had been testing was Undercity Informer[/deck]. I still haven't gotten a Survival of the Fittest just yet, so I was playing Fauna Shaman, but had trouble getting her online. She seemed too slow and since my playgroup put a target on her head, that didn't help matters at all. Considering with Karador at the helm, my graveyard might as well be my hand, I opted to give this guy a try. He goes under the radar and while might not be as good as Fauna Shaman or Hermit Druid, he can mill quite a bit as a mana sink at the eot before my untap. While I like what he does, he will probably be cut once I get a Survival.
I like how they called him a warden of the underworld and his weapon is a really awesome whip.
Actually, I'm just really stoked each of the god's weapons have their own art. I'm smelling some really cool and probably over costed legendary equipments in the near future!
I've been waiting for this Greek Mythology based set for the past 6 years, so if I act fanboyish, please forgive me.
Yeah, I used to. My EDH crew used to use him as our go to Pro White guy until Malakir Bloodwitch showed up.
@coolkid: Hello, and welcome to CMB. I'm the leader around here, so I will add you to the Minion category. The way our membership works, you do your time as a minion by reaching 50 posts at a reasonable rate, and then you get promoted to our true ranks as a Disciple where you get a nifty title of your choice relating to black mana. Most people pick something they exemplify. So get those posts!
Me too. He's actually my Mono Black commander at the moment. I'm not actually playing his Edict, but I might have to now that it has some cool art.
Maybe not THAT good, but he did lead the charge for a MBC control deck back in TSP/LRW standard. He regenerated, got Leechriden Swamps and carried a Hammer very well. Probably not one of the best, but MBC was good back then and he was there.
So in other news, its sad to say, but the Izzet are retired. The Triple Alliance is now down one member.
I'm actually disappointed in FTV20. Things like choosing Wall of Blossoms over Survival of the Fittest is enough of a reason to hate this freaking reserved list.
As for the FTV 20 Black, I can concur, except two other HMs, I would include are Korlash, Heir to Blackblade and Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth. Its a shame they had to compete with Damnation's slot.
Well, that was quick. I'll see what I can do. Wasn't even online for a couple days. Spent the weekend at various friends houses for birthday parties and such.
Oh my, that is funny. You should have made them cursed items so that they could talk whenever they wanted and the player would have to make a save or something to keep the hands silent. Imagine a character making a strength check or something to keep the puppets mouth shut.
