Trying hard myself with UB Tempo/Control and I'm getting nowhere with it but there's no way I'm going to play the stupid Naya or W Tokens; I'd rather hang up my Whispersilk Cloak and turn in my Dimir signet before that happens.
I could never pigeonhole myself into one archetype or set of colors, regardless of my guild affiliation. I like to switch things up and that means playing whatever deck interests me no matter what colors it runs.
Also, your Peacock avatar is amazing. I approve.

Wow, really? Aja, not so upset at the thank you, just disappointed that the same person who reminded me not to trash talk other clans during the Roast(which I still agree I shouldn't have), would advocate one clan member calling other clan members traitors.
Jivan, as above, that's not only out of line, but I have been welcomed by other members to discuss whatever we want. I've needed, and appreciated, having people to help support my recovery from alcoholism, which has nothing to do with Blue or Black mana. My tag is an artificer. Artifacts first. My favorite magic character, next to Karn, is Tezzeret. The only Dimir planeswalker at this time. He's also an artificer. Standard I'm running MUC. That's only one color short of dimir. Digi's running Esper. That's one away the other direction. Aja is the Esper liason, which is still not dimir. It contains Dimir, but Azorius, and Orzhov colors as well. What's white about dimir? Nothing. So what? I never knew this clan or our this thread was about forcing dimir. Cad runs BG, then Jund, then Naya. How about a congratulations? Instead it's an ambiguosly slung insult? How dare you. That is NOT what this thread or this Forum is for. I'm truly appalled by such a negative comment, especially when it gets thanked.
@Macius Thank you. I will also point out I'm run Isochron Dimir in modern against better results guaranteed with Silence.
@Cad Congratulations on your first top 8. Hopefully I'm not far behind you. What tournament was it?

Apparently the joke went over peoples heads....wow.
I mean anyone who thinks I'm attacking clan members I don't even know how to respond to.
Edit: I guess sorry for offending? But really I've been chilling with you guys for how long and it's immediately assumed I'm bashing you instead of making a sarcastic quip? I should be the one who is insulted.

Sorry, but there wasn't really any indication that it was a joke. I didn't find it funny, I found it insulting, regardless of the intent. The most important point was the fact that one of our members has gotten Top 8 for the first time, and that got glanced over.

Was there any indication that it was an attack? No. The statement was neutral and you took it a certain way. I'm sorry you read into it wrong but that is what happened.

I'm not going to sit here and argue the fact that calling people traitors should or shouldn't be taken at face value, or as an insult(you said attack, but for the sake of not arguing, I'll consider the two words synonymous), when there's no tone of voice to emphasise sarcasm in text. I'm not going to point to the lack of smiley/emoticons to do that, because I wouldn't even try to tell people how to type or communicate, it would be rude and ignorant to do so. I'm not even going to go as far telling you "that's what happened", because I would feel just as rude. I'm just going to blow this thing off, because even though I felt insulted, that was apparently my fault for over reacting. I don't really care if anyone thinks I over reacted, I said what I felt, and that's that.
I know about Jivan's reputation. I met Jivan by being torn to shreds by numerous people on my first MTGS thread ever, by invalid information about an Urza return.(which I still disagree, and believe it's not only possible, but easily transitioned by the presence of Karn in current storyline) I know I'm not the first to take something he's said the wrong way. I'm not trying to say jivan should change anything, or whatever else may be implied. I was upset, I said what I think should have been said, and I'm standing firm in that now. I'm not mad. I don't think any lower of anyone over anything. I respect everyone and their diversity here.

While Digi is away, Macius comes out to play...
Im just gonna say to drop this now.
I am willing to admit that at some points in the past, Jivan's sarcasm has rubbed off on me the wrong way, but I learned he doesnt say things in malice unless you're an idiot who thinks their word is gospel on edh and that their crapshack of personal rules smells like roses.
We're all friends here, so lets just chill down in the sewers and chill out and talk about how much our boss is a bumbling fool or how much we wanted to stab that jackass that cut us off in traffic with a rusted furbie (yes, they apparantly do rust).....
EDIT: And now my post comes off as too late. Im going to go play Civ 5 and polder my way to victory...
So, that Resonator. EtB: The Gathering continues. Although the card does nothing outside of causal/EDH.
Turn 1 - Forest, Elvish Mystic
Turn 2 - Forest, Elvish Mystic, Resonator
Turn 3 - Forest, Kalonian Hydra
Turn 4 - Swing with Hydra, activate Resonator, 16/16 with trample.
Mono green Stompy is now viable, and you can draft it.
Elite Arcanist looks like my filler when Snapcaster rolls. MUC with Negate/Cancel/Essence Scatter/Dispel on a stick/s. Do I have permission? Why, thank you.
How about Burny Yummy Marshmallows for 3 turns, turn 4 chandra with a couple damage, turn 5 - gauntlets, Chandra to lightning bolt to player and creature each. Turn 6 - chandra to 7, turn 8 - ultimate turning that lava axe 8 cards down just got tripled for 7 each, and you can draft it.
Corrupt and Nightmare give Liliana of the soon to be lonely realms some kind of purpose...that you can draft.

I said it in another thread. Kalonian Hydra was totally designed as a "Hydra Lord". Just in time for the Greek/Roman block.
Agreed. How about Prey Upon for the limited pool, again, and keep around for another year.

Isn't there a "fight" green spell in m14 already? Although I'm sure we'll see more of them. Because ya know, the one thing in magic green couldn't do was have creature spot removal...
Yeah, Hunt the Weak, I was pointing more at the redundancy of m13 and innistrad having it. Gatecrash also has a :1mana::symrg: fight also. If monogreen gets an answer, how about blue and/or black gets a direct way to deal with enchantments. While I'm loving Darksteel Forge, it's not unreasonable to reprint Hurkyl's Recall.

@ the whole treason stuff:
a) HATE TIMEZONES! Stuff usually happens when I'm asleep.
b) I was actually expecting someone to drop such a comment on all that non-UB deck discussion sooner or later.
I may be the Esper liaison, that's only cause Sharuum has French tips, lol.
First of all, this is the greatest thing that's happened in a while, lol. Mad props.
Second of all: I seriously doubt Jivan was attacking anyone. Calm it down.
Eds: Macius had it covered:) E.L.E.!
@Cadu, congrats! Doing us proud all over.
@Regarding UB in type Two: it's just not there. I have to splash white to win. If it was there, you better bet your sweet butt I'd be playing it. It's not there no matter how you try to run it. Tempo, Mill-Aggro (which seems fun but not very reliable in the top metas), Permission...nothing is there. Ive seen some folk splashing green for self mill and using that one guy that when you have no cards you win, but it's kind of a terrible build. Flying Tempo could work, but I still dont believe the counter spells available make it solid enough to play. One might be able to work a permission build with a Grixis deck....idk.
I doubt anyone remembers, but we used to do clan deck challenges. Im issuing one.
Clan Challenge Number 5
Build a type two permission deck that is worth a frack, using at least 25 cards with the Dimir watermark.
@RetiredGamer64, I hadnt realized you were brandishing the.signet. Drop in a bit more often,and you might see one and live to tell the tale, (not that you would).
Anyone else playing DotP 2014? It's actually 100 times better than the previous ones. Too bad the promo I got was lamesauce. Funny that the promos have progressivly sucked. I love the garruk promos from tge first ones. I have a set and made my MGS deck just to use them, lol. I mean, it's a cool alt art garruk with an xbox controller as an expansion symbol.

Furbies are the devil's minions..... I really think them rusting is a feature and not a flaw.
Then again, if you are stabbing someone with a rusted furbie, there are probably bigger issues than the rust.
