Well it seems that since I am no loner Evincar what I have to say or did while in charge means absolutely nothing. Since you want to act like that SA just go ahead and remove my name completely from the OP.
And by completely I mean from every instance even the Fallen rank. You wanna turn your back on me then fine. Just dont expect me to be civil about it.

I apologize if you are unhappy with my methods as Evincar. I had no idea I was supposed to uphold your personal vendettas. Its seems to me that you think I am doing this just to spite you, which is not the case. I hold a very different belief about people leaving this clan, but I am not the only one. Yes, I will admit I also blacklisted one member a long time ago, but that for more than just loosing interest in this particular clan. He broke forum and clan rules and insulted the clan and its members as a whole. While I can see that you view their leaving as a betrayal and insult, I do not and I am sorry that you feel this way.
As per request, I shall expunge your name from the first post of Clan Mono-Black. But understand this, Clan Mono-Black will welcome you back should you ever choose to return in a sincere, reconciling manner. But also understand that I cannot leave this unpunished. Should you return, you will be forced to go through the entire membership process again. I doubt this will be the case since you are leaving the site soon, but I just feel the need to inform you of this.
I am sorry that you view this as a personal betrayal. This was not the intention. I had and will always have CMBs best interest in mind. Then again, I doubt you'll even read this too, so....Goodbye Tordeck. Thank you for keeping the clan warm for me when I took my break. I just hope we can leave this in the clan and be civil outside of it, as is my intent since I am going to start being active on MTG Darkness once again.
Whereabouts do you play? Which LGS? There's quite the chance we've met.
So funny enough, I have no clue how I ended up on the random page this was on and on the random post. Also funny enough, i had been meaning to ask you when I saw you lived in PA.
We live around Ellwood City/New Castle/Slippery Rock/Grove City area. Those are the places we frequently visit and/or play. Its about a half hour north of Pittsburgh.

That's a huge area you've mentioned, but none of it seems like a half hour north of Pittsburgh. Maybe a half hour north of the northernmost edge of Pittsburgh.
I work up in Cranberry, so it can't be too far from you. There's a shop called Legions near Ross Park Mall that I go to every other Friday for draft, but I'm betting that's a bit of a drive for you.
Love the new sig banners you two. That is some impressive work, Chiligyro.
Tordek, I'm hesitant to speak here because I'm new and don't have the history, but I just don't see SA acting the way you're accusing him of.

See, the area we visit isn't that big, at least to me. Then again I am always running around in Butler/SR/GC area, so....
My local shop is New Dimension Comics in Ellwood. I occasionally visit the Butler and Cranberry NDCs (none of them are particularly great). We do most of our business at Bells Comics in Grove City. We do most of our FNMs and Thursday Modern tournaments (not that I am going to any until my semester ends) in New Brighton at Funtastics or New Castle at Lovelight. I might have to get my crew together some day and head down to Ross Park Mall one FNM. Its not that much of a drive. My personal team (3 players of my overall playgroup) are willing to frequent new stores on occasion. In fact, I guess there is this one store down in Pittsburgh that has a massive selection of singles. Now only if I could remember its name or where it was....

Ellwood and New Brighton is a bit of a drive to me. I agree that the NDC in Cranberry isn't all that great, but it's holding a Legacy tournament on November 18th. I'm going to be there representing Clan Mono-Black.

You've got to be thinking of Legions. It's on Perry Highway (Route 19) and not quite in Pittsburgh. There are rows and rows of dollar rares, bins of commons and more bins of uncommons, six display cases chock full of the expensive stuff, and a few binders of the popular midrange expense stuffs.

If I didn't work every Thursday, I'd bet there too with one of my team members.

Probably. Gives me and my team more incentive to head out.
I'm sorry, I think its just so awesome that there are two CMB members so close. Western PA is officially CMBs base of operations :evilol:
So on an entirely unrelated note, has anyone seen this?. It has gotten my entire playgroup to call him Hipster Jace.
Chainer's a good one for black, what with the whole "paying life to reanimate things" rule. I'd probably go with him as a favorite if I weren't so loyal to the Cabal.
So Cabal Patriarch is my pick. He's not a good card, nor is he a particularly enthralling character in the story, but I'm a sucker for sacrificing my own creatures to make cool stuff happen.

if i am going mono black i would say either korlash or mikeaus, the unhallowed. If i can go B/w teysa.
different topic: Last night at our causal vintage/legacy night was pretty good to me i got a playset of hymns (i didn't have any wasn't around back then) the black white zen fetch, Original printing dryad arbor, and a bunch of other small things like reshape and cranial plating.
third topic: tonight is going to be fun. Where i am in nh we are supposed to get hit by the hurricane. several inches of rain and as i write this i can feel my apartment building shaking with the wind. and i get to go to work tonight until 3 am in a warehouse with people i hate. hoping we will get sent home.
SA, Letting TEIN back was only the tip of the iceberg. Its everything you have done or failed to do since stepping back in that I am irritated by. You personally made me feel unwelcome here as well as making it seem that everything I have done for this clan meant nothing. I stepped up when you couldnt be bothered to be in charge and now that you suddenly want to come back and run things you ignored everything I had to say. So no I dont accept your bull**** apology.
As for MTGD, follow the rules and be a respectful member of the site and we wont have any issues. Unlike the staff here I know how to keep my personal feelings out of moderation issues.
I don't know whats up with you. I'm guessing you were upset with my cause I joined the Finks? I said I was leaving the clan and I said I did no longer feel the "Pull of black mana" and that black wasn't my favorite color anymore. I still liked everyone and asked to be friends with the clan IIRC which hadn't been added. I still liked everyone and I wanted to still talk. Which is why I asked to be friend. Then I happened to join the finks, with whom I was friends with already out of wanting to represent them in a mafia game. I happen to enjoy them guys too and since they fit more my "gamingstyle" of being only casual gamers I felt like I fit in. This is why I'm with them now. I don't feel like I've betrayed anyone but I feel bad that you think so. I remember when I had joined years ago and you had your old avatar. I liked you man, you seemed cool due to being a member that had been in the clan longer than I. I appreciated your input and you had cool things to say. I always respected you. It hasn't really changed, just I don't see why you are acting like this.
I come back from being ill, actually still am and I come to this drama? Wow.
Please do not let this dissuade you. I did not start it, but I am certainly going to to end it for the benefit of the clan.

You are saying I made you feel unwelcome. Would you like to expand upon how I made you feel unwelcome? Because as of now, I do not see. YOu have four posts in the clan, which are as follows, which aside from the last two being your complaints with me, the other two were short and lacked much substance. So I can assume you do not mean this in the literal sense.
As for things you have done in my absence, the only thing that I can see I did wrong was let people back in. There was the one PM you sent me about MandersHex's title. I do admit, I did not reply to that. I was busy at the time and I apologize. Note though I did regive her the title, even though it was against my belief, which is that only Disciples and above deserve titles. I admit it took me a day or two as the weekend was busy with a small family crisis (my sister and her friend were hit by another car. Nothing too serious).
Aside from that, all I can see is that I rewrote a few things in easier terms and reformatted the first post into one that is more pleasing to the eye...things I do not think were that undermining at all.
As for the TEIN situation, no one else has seemed to complain about me bringing him back. In fact, me and my Scion had decided to message him and others to reinvite them to the clan. It just seems to me that you are blowing this out of proportion.

Please do not state it that way. Its not that I "could not be bothered"."Bothered" implies I willingly let the clan down for other goals. Believe me when I say that is the last thing I wanted to do. How else can you explain how I remained Evincar over a nice few threads where my activity had decreased significantly. I kept believing I could still rule the clan and be the Evincar I had once been. Yes, I do understand the road to hell is paved with good intentions, and I believe the clan experienced this first hand, as when I finally resigned, things were not as good as they had been. And I believe this failure is what makes me a better leader now. I learned I can let you guys down, and I will not let that happen again.
All I see is an old Evincar who is having issues giving up power and taking it out on his successor by accusing him of general things with absolutly no examples to back it up. This I cannot blame you of, because when I stepped down, the first thing I wanted was to be back on top. Power, even something as small as this in the grand scheme of the universe, is tempting. Its the human condition: Humans love power. I admit, I too was jealous of you, but I finally admitted to myself I had let the clan down and my time was at an end. You said you were resigning, so voting commenced and I unanimously won. As feastofthedead put it, my orderly touch was what the clan needed. Perhaps you are dealing with the same jealousy I had experienced in your own, unique way.
I see no further point in arguing this with you until more evidence has been brought foreward, but I do believe I have the clan on my side. I will refuse any further attempts to engage this argument in this thread. I would be more than happy to discuss it over PM, but not here. I only see this continued conflict bringing harm to the clan and as the Evincar, I will not allow that to happen.
Let the statment go on record as saying you are still permitted to post here in a friendly fashion, but should you begin to further slander me, post in a way that will harm the clan, or further argue you issues with me here, I will warn you now, I will not hesitate to report any action I deem offensive or any comment furthering this argument to your oh so favorite mods. I am unable to stop you from posting here, but they will.

The Cabal was ok. I liked the idea of pits fights and Phage the Untouchable. But when you get down to it, I have always been fascinated with the mind, and the whole notion of Chainer dealing with Dementia and Nightmares really intrigues me...I guess thats why I'm getting a degree in psychology.
Okay, all that image splicing was really annoying but the cube is all scanned in. I'll probably make a thread for it in the cube forum later, but for now, cool pictures! (Some EDH decks were harmed in the making of these images.)
When I looked at your cube, I wondered, shouldn't Shrine of Burning Rage be in the colourless section, same goes for Shrine of Loyal Legions and Vedalken Shackles? I know they have synergy with the strategies often associated with the colours they are put in, I just wondered about your reasoning for placing them outside the colourless section. Also, I found that altered art on Kor Sanctifier hilarious.

The purpose of having the sections even is to make the cube color balanced. As the shrines and shackles are tied to a specific color, that's where they end up.
The Sanctifiers was an alter done on-site by the artist. He also did the Ponder, Slagstorm, and a Staff of Nin, but Staff got moved to Urabrask. It just wasn't useful enough for its cost in cube.
I can't believe there is still all this drama over the gutter and factions on this website. For those of you that are into all of that stuff here is my stance: I'm not affected by it, I come on here to check the rumor mill, clans, custom card games and every once in a while trading post. Therefore I don't care about who slighted whom or who is in a power-struggle.
That being said my favorite mono black general is Mikaeus the Unhallowed, it's been quite a while that a black legend has inspired me to make so many decks although a close second is Griselbrand until he got banned by the fun police.
So question: legacy mono black control. what is the best finisher? I have only been competitive through the reign of the titans so that is my best guess but i don't know if they are good in legacy. seems like their is probably better.

Legacy control tends to have a slightly different plan of attack... Pox kills with Cursed Scroll and Mishra's Factory. Nightmare Effect kills with Krovikan Horror and Vampire Nighthawk. I don't know of another established legacy deck that would qualify as MBC.
Not to say you couldn't have a very controlling deck using Phyrexian Obliterator and Tombstalker get some work done. I think those are more the class of creature you had in mind.

"[Screw] you and the green you ramped in on." - My EDH battle cry. If I had one. Which I don't.
My dear clan, I believe it is time we revive a tradition here! Let us start getting things planned out for our Winter 2012 CMB tournament!!
Our first issue: What platform should this be played on. I was thinking that since MWS has been slacking as of late, we hit up Cockatrice.
Our second issue: What format. I feel this will get the most discussion.
We have done Standard, EDH, and Bring your own Standard. That said, it was done two years ago. My vote for this current one is either Modern or EDH, but will also hear suggestions for other formats. I probably want to get this thing off the ground by the US Thanksgiving and letting it run until Christmas or later. It will be a swiss format. After a number of rounds dependent on the number of players, we will cut to a top bracket, also dependent on the number of players, with a minimum of a top 4.
As always, all members of all clans will be invited to join, as are mods. I will contact some mods later about it. I know when rianalnn was mod here, he said it would be ok to host the thread here. I will ask the current mods for the same. (I will also mention our intent for 4 tournaments a year - Spring - Summer - Fall - and Winter). Perhaps we will have set formats for it each season as well. (like Legacy Spring, Standard Summer, Modern Fall, EDH winter). We could also throw in things like BYOS, Pauper/Peasant, Extended (hey! I still play!) and other formats as well. But this is something I think we should put on the back burner until after the Winter Tournament.

We live around Ellwood City/New Castle/Slippery Rock/Grove City area. Those are the places we frequently visit and/or play. Its about a half hour north of Pittsburgh.
Scanned the lands, realized I didn't line them up well at all and it looked awful when I spliced the images together.
Current status: Annoyed, and about to start rescanning the lands.
Would be simpler if my scanner wasn't only big enough to scan 4 cards wide at a time, and if I wasn't manic enough to want rows of 5.
Edit: Lands
Not shown: Gaea's Cradle/Duals. I have placeholders in the cube. Use them too much in EDH and whatnot.

We have done Standard, EDH, and Bring your own Standard. That said, it was done two years ago. My vote for this current one is either Modern or EDH, but will also hear suggestions for other formats. I probably want to get this thing off the ground by the US Thanksgiving and letting it run until Christmas or later. It will be a swiss format. After a number of rounds dependent on the number of players, we will cut to a top bracket, also dependent on the number of players, with a minimum of a top 4.
As always, all members of all clans will be invited to join, as are mods. I will contact some mods later about it. I know when rianalnn was mod here, he said it would be ok to host the thread here. I will ask the current mods for the same. (I will also mention our intent for 4 tournaments a year - Spring - Summer - Fall - and Winter). Perhaps we will have set formats for it each season as well. (like Legacy Spring, Standard Summer, Modern Fall, EDH winter). We could also throw in things like BYOS, Pauper/Peasant, Extended (hey! I still play!) and other formats as well. But this is something I think we should put on the back burner until after the Winter Tournament.
