All of my EDH decks are now updated to include RTR. GAA4 only needed the addition of Supreme Verdict and New Isperia, which was easy enough to come by. Nivvy got Counterflux and Epic Experiment; no new Nivvy, though. He just doesn't fit in that well... (flavor-wise, of course he's fine; but this is a pretty cut-throat deck and New Niv is a little clunky :P).
I'm still working on procuring cards for Izzet Standard, but it seems OK for now. Need more Cyclonic Rifts. And Mortars, but the proxy-deck seems fine.
In other news (aka: real life)! I have 5 books to read by Wednesday/Thursday, so I'll see you guys Thursday night @_@;
madhatter, mind posting (or linking me to) a deck list for that Niv deck? I'm starting to construct one and would like to see different takes on it, though I am a bit disappointed that i may have to disconstruct my other two (Zedru, and Sedris, both of which obviously use blue and red cards...)

"In the beginning, MTG Salvation switched to a new forum format.
This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move."
It was at that moment that I realized: I'm kinda just making these things up. We can just write the rules the way we want them to work. People will have fun, and people will get it.
The goblin abuse isn't necessary, Reg. You wouldn't want to waste of a fine assistant.
My mental condition hasn't been optimal this past week, though the search for my breakthrough continues.
(In non-RPing terms, I had a good friend and inspiration of mine pass away this week: today was his memorial. He was a member of the poetry group I attend, and would have been 100 next month.
I'm also still dealing with the fact that my main online game (City of Heroes) is still on course to shut down at the end of November, though I'm starting to play Champions Online and I kinda like it. Guiltily. Many of the concept characters I put time into have something that just can't be replicated in CO.
Beyond all of this, I still haven't had the drive to attempt to fix my Commander, even with all the new stuff. No Dracogenius pulled yet, though I did get-- no, it's nothing major. Thought it was.)
Now, you are probably already bored of my ramblings. Go and find me some blistercoil excretions, the kind that're still warm and meldable.

When asked how much power is required, Izzet mages always answer "more".
Fellow chemists and scientists... Our clan dragon egg gets bigger by the day!! It's incredible! I think it's gonna hatch soon!! I'm currently incubating it near the Southren Sector Steam Vents near the Blistercoil Waterfall. I'm giving it about, ooo, 3 weeks before hatching. This is so exciting! What shall we name our clan dragon?
The goblin abuse isn't necessary, Reg. You wouldn't want to waste of a fine assistant.
It's not abuse. I'm testing if my teleportal system could be used as shielding. *takes notepad from vedalken assistant* And anyway, Hakser over there volunteered for the procedure. I would've used a weird, but you know how goblins are.

*dispatches underling to weird pits* That sucks actually. My sympathies, Aus.
@Rhakee, what about Nivvi? Are you keeping the egg at male temperature or female temperature?
I am a relatively new MTG player but would love to join your Clan. I mostly play standard but plan on getting into limited booster drafts soon.

Welcome to [The Izzet]! Things have been in a bit of flux (Counterflux, as it were) lately with the upheaval of the leadership positions (which are open to an experienced Izzet). Any more insanity and I might suffer a Cerebral Vortex.
In all seriousness, this would be a good time to pass the baton, given that the thread is (finally) approaching 1K posts!

It makes me sad to hear that you've been struggling recently, Austratus. As you can see from my sig, I volunteer at a crisis call center and we get a lot of calls from people dealing with deep issues such as the loss of a loved one. The pain never truly goes away, but life can still be beautiful and worthwhile. I'm here if you want to talk, buddy.

That was beautiful :')
If leadership positions are still open, can I be the clans official Dragon Tamer?
In all seriousness, this would be a good time to pass the baton, given that the thread is (finally) approaching 1K posts!
Hey there Long time no see!
I just wanted to stop in and say hello to our Izzet Allies! We've had a new change in command and I am back in command yet again after a yearish long hiatus! Just want to remind you all that allies are always welcome in CMB, and I will try visit here more often!
P.S. I dig how you guys are doing Izzet Roleplaying. Its very...Izzet of you.
If leadership positions are still open, can I be the clans official Dragon Tamer?
I was referring specifically to the positions of Clan Leader/s and Clan Representative, which are official titles as recognized by the Clan Council. The Clan Leader/s's primary responsibilities are to start new threads and maintain the Clan Roster, while the Clan Rep's primary job is to represent the Clan in the Clan Council and sign up for Clan Contests. The Leader/s and Rep interact quite a bit to make sure that things are running smoothly for the Clan.
I've been Clan Leader on and off for a few years now, and since graduating college, my priorities have started to shift in other directions. I'd like to step down, but I can certainly help in an advisory role.
EDZ: The new Clan Leader/s is/are able to grant Clan Epithets to Clan members, though I would suggest that we retain the High Mage/Acolyte/Apprentice structure that exists, as this system honors those who have stuck with the Clan the longest. A reminder that new HMs may choose new fields of study and select the Acolyte and Apprentice who serve under them!
Oh, hey there beautiful.
How've things been? I can't imagine taking a year away from MTGS, what with Mafia and Custom Card Creation keeping me coming back (against my will, in some instances).

This is kinda the deck I've been toying around with... not that I have much time to toy around with anything lately
In other news! I checked out the Commander's Arsenal. There's expensive cards, but I'm still not going to pay $75 for it. I play W a lot, too, and I think Imperial Recruiter is so underwhelming... I'd rather have an Academy Rector (but then again, I love me some enchantment shenanigans). Otherwise, I already have most of the cards listed... I have 2 Desertions and they never make the cut, anyways. Even in my control deck... Too expensive CMC. I'd rather Bribery someone and just plain steal a creature from the deck. >:3
In any case, I'm going to planeswalk to a different plane (hopefully one with a slower time rate than this one) to get some studying/ reading done. The next time I appear, I might have aged quite a bit. But don't be alarmed! I'll bring cookies

Not to bad this way. How about you? I never really took a break away from MTGS, I just stalked the EDH forums. I took a break from the Clans, Mafia, Custom Card Creations (all things I did at one point or another and might get back into). I'm back posting and things now, and will be much more active considering I graduate college in the spring and am planning on taking a year to recharge before I go to grad school.
My burn deck propelled me into 7th place, ensuring me a promo Cryptborn Horror and confirming the viciousness of my blastseeker deck. It will now undergo finetuning until the next standard tournament.
So guys, I'm going to start a new experiment with electrolyzed mizzium generators. I'd say to wish me luck, but we all know how this turns out... I think I should see you all in a week. If not, I'll need to recalibrate the chronoports.

If life gives you lemons... keep them. Because, hey, free lemons.
Hmmm... How long do you have to be a Test subject before promotions? I've been eyeing a certain path for a little while now...
And Rhakee! You didn't answer my question about that dragon egg: Male or female temperature?
Oops Female temperature. The egg is getting close to hatch. What are some name suggestions?! I'm taking good care of it! Oh, and Happy Halloween er body!!!!! =D
Okay, so I just got back. Remind me never to go to Mercadia again. Those Mercadians seem to have very clear boundaries as to what the appropriate size of an explosion is... It also probably didn't help that I maybe kinda took this massive ruby from the market without exactly, er, paying for it. In my defense, I needed it for the essence reduction engine I've been working on.. for some reason, they didn't understand that in court, though. Hence, explosion!
Anyways, after that debacle, I 'walked to Dominaria because I heard about an island just off the coast of Terisiere with these time rifts... anyways, I got some major research done because of this perfect little fast-time rift I found. But I'm not entirely sure how old I am now...
As promised, here's cookies for all:
In other news! I'm finally free for a little EDH tonight. First time playing any of my updated decks (Mikaeus doens't count because I can't afford the angels that need to go in that deck to update it T_T; ) I want to play permission Judge because it's had to most noticeable work done to it, but I'm up against Arcum Dagsson and this nasty Radha deck... so maybe cut-throat combo Nivvy is gonna be better to handle that. Dunno, yet. I'm open to opinions, though.
As a former Acolyte of Chronomancy, I'm pleased to reveal my results.
I've made two years pass by, and had it feel like barely a few weeks. Success!
I'll be returning to my regular activities, which include lurking, posting, playing the game, and inventing decks as of now, and I'd like to return to the Izzet if I can!
