Well, I assume that there is quite a good chance to have games on different times on Saturdays. I mean, I live on Europe (GMT+2, which is 6 hours ahead of NYC) and I'm online on totally different time than most of you, so that when most of you guys are online, I might already be sleeping and vice versa...
We may need to include a time when different ELDER DRAGONS will be available during the whole day/night based on their time zone. This could be added to our cockatrice COMPENDIUM (note, you spelled this wrong on the page title) to help other members know when they can play us on Saturday Game Night.
I've got a banner.. rough draft we'll call it, but I may have overcrowded it trying to fit the Elder Dragons and a couple staples in. I'll try to finish it up tonight, after I get some urgent work finished. Then we can see if I should start from scratch.
Can't wait to see! And if it's crowded, maybe try JUST the elder dragons. They seem very [Spirit of EDH]-like.
So hum... is there any intention to create this clan on MtGO too? Because honestly I have no interest in Cockatrice nor any desire to start playing on that platform.
The issue with MTGO is that it requires money, while Cockatrice is completely free. We opted for the free version because more people in the clan are able to use it.
Don't worry, not everyone has to participate in Saturday Game Night, just anyone who wants to.
Hrm, I don't have MtGO. I've put enough money into the game on real cards. I can't go buying digital ones, too.
Also, are we just posting decks for Deck Tech Tuesday? o.o
We're not using MTGO, we're using cockatrice!!!
As for Deck Tech Tuesdays, the deck you were all supposed to look at is posted at the top of this page, but most of you missed it.
xbinox put alot of work into setting this up, and no one cared...
Please check for the Deck Tech Tuesday post each tuesday and start the conversation on it, we really want to make this a regular thing.
Whew, that was alot. I'm off to go play some EDH on cockatrice. Come play a game with me, I'm running my ELDER DRAGON themed deck.
I'm disappointed, I just couldn't get those Elder Dragons to work either.. tried to make it five color, didn't work as hoped. Of course.. it looked worse with those old artworks were just their plain colors. I think I need to try with just some staples too.. maybe see what I can whip up that looks EDH like with staples alone. I think the problem is I'm working with the entirety of EDH, and not just representing a deck...
I guess that could be temporary.. sorry about that..
Hopefully this clan doesn't get more than 30 members, we'll have no more names.
Technically there could be three tiers... Elder Legendary Dragons, Legendary Dragons and Dragons. Then we'd have lots of buffer, and a member would have to depart before a new Legendary could be appointed.
I would like to join the clan, my dragon avatar of choice being Treva, the Renewer. I once had a token-based Commander deck with her at the helm.
One thing I didn't notice people talking about here was flavor in deckbuilding for the format. I have 24 Commander decks built right now, each one of them having an underlying story. I need to update my blog and sig with some of the lists I've made recently, but the old lists are still there. Have a look around--it should give you a good idea what I like to play.

I don't think it looks TOO terrible, I kinda like it a bit. We'll put it up
@xbinox: No such thing as too tribal. My Kangee, Aerie Keeper list has 30ish bird creatures in it. A surprisingly large amount of those birds are utility as well. TBH, I do want to cut down on that number, but I'm too attached to my birds to figure out what to cut. My Seshiro the Anointed snake tribal list has about 20-25 snakes in it. I love tribal.

Glad to have you, add you in a moment while I get the banner up.
(trying to play cockatrice at the same time, VERY HARD)
I'm curious as to how many people here keep flavor heavily in mind when building a Commander deck. I'm very conscious to not play artifact creatures in a Mayael deck because a summoner like her wouldn't be summoning giant robots. My Rafiq deck doesn't play Rancor or Berserk despite both being insanely powerful in there--that would be dishonorable of him. Commander was supposed to be the flavor format, after all.

Okay. I'll add that info to the compendium when other Elder Dragons just let me know the times.
Also, I feel stupid saying this, but I just can't install Cockatrice on my computer. No, it's not technical problems but that I just can't make heads nor tails of the user manual, it feels as if I'm reading Hebrew... (And yes, I am non-native English speaker.)

Well, if it's Cockatrice only you can remove me from the Clan. I have no interest in that platform.

i'm trying for intet. cutting a bit back on staples, and adding the infamous show n tell combo roaming about(omniscience gets shown and told, then you proceed to casing enter the infinite for an epic win) it's just too awesome to not be run in some kind of show and tell deck.

Not heavily, but to some extent, yes, like refusing to run Urza-related cards in Mishra.
On the other hand, the idea of Great Engineer Mayael constructing giant war machnes sort of makes me want to build such a deck. Maybe even alter her?

WAIT!!! Are you really going to leave the clan over something as simple as what platform we're using? The whole cockatrice using thing isn't required for you to be in the clan, and I'm sure you can find some of the other members on MTGO, its just that currently most of our members cannot use MTGO. You can still be a part of the clan without constantly playing the clan online.

I just don't see how I could effectively interact with Clan members if I'm not on the same platform as they are. Random posts in a forum thread isn't really going to be enough for me to feel like I belong.
This isn' me throwing a tantrum - I just misunderstood the original intent. If the Clan is created on both Cockatrice and MtGO, I'll be more than happy to remain and play with you guys. As I mentioned originally, Commander/EDH clans seems to be a rarity on MtGO and I've been looking for one for some time. But if the Clan is Cockatrice only, I just don't see the point.

The clan was originally designed just to be a clan here on MTGS. We just added playing on cockatrice to our "things we can do" list. Cryogen has actually created a list of EDH players on MTGO here. I will also add this to the main page and ask other users to add to this too. We can still play on MTGO, just not all of us. Is this enough to keep you around?
EDIT: If you want, you could actually start your own list for clan members who use MTGO like Bursama did for cockatrice. That way, we can have a list for both!
I only play MTGO at this point, not Cockatrice (tried it a few times before, just didn't much care for it), so I wouldn't be jumping on that particular bandwagon, but socialization is worth it.
We'll go with Ryusei for my title I s'pose! Always did love him.
