PSI! Its been forever! How are you? I have been rather busy.
Forever indeed! But I've been around/back on MTGS for a while now...Probably since August. But I've been well :), definitely more into MTG than I have been in years since I now have a card shop with sanctioned tournaments 10 minutes away from my house and I love the modern format :). Hope you are doing well :).

I would be doing better , if you return this clan, if possible
Clem: My wiki is still banned , but I am ready take over my duties as Izzet clan Rep so what do I do?
From the information I've gathered by being in this clan for as long as I have, I'm pretty sure you just need to keep an eye on the clan council thread and update the rest of us with info on relevant things like clan contests and junk.
Funnily enough a blue and red planeswalker :tongue:.
Ah, I like Chandra Ablaze a lot too. Just wish I had more EDH decks that liked her. I took apart Malfegor and Diaochan is a mono-red control deck that likes sitting on a bunch of cards in hand.
Got 2nd at the GPT today playing RDW again. Might have to start splashing black just for Ultimate Price. Rhox Faithmender is a very annoying thing.
i have rhox faithmender in my Selensia token edh deck. i have trostani as my general and instead of earning 24 life i gained 48 from Entreat the angels
Clem: congratz on the GPT success. Lifegain always screws with RDW decks, so I feel your pain.
In other news: not much. Just preparing for the holidays. Been doing a lot of painting for 40k. Got really irritated with one guy in my playgroup because he keeps playing iterations of the same deck...and it's really obnoxious. But whatever.

New thread!!! Hup hup, hooray!!
School has simply been... Horrific to put it lightly. Now we are on break!!! Yay! Now doin a lot more Commander these days. Worked on a Primer check it out in my signature!
what does everyone think about the Gatecrash keywords? I'm intrigued...
So far...
Gruul: I really wish that 1 of the 2 red guilds this set didn't get stuck with channel: the sequel as it's keyword. I'm not a fan.
Orzhov: Seems incredibly limited unless they stick it on some disgustingly undercosted permanent.
Boros: This is gonna need to wait for Falkenrath Aristocrat/Hellrider/Thundermaw Hellkite to rotate before it's a real thing.
Simic: Has the most potential of any keyword spoiled so far. A 1/1 for 1 that's a hybrid G/U card would be awesome.
These opinions are based solely on the 1-2 cards we've got so far with each keyword. I reserve the right to change these at any time if a new card is spoiled that would make my positions on these keywords look asinine.
I chose to play Simic at my local prerelease, so I'm looking at Evolve with critical eyes. I'm interested to see how Extort and Bloodrush work out. As for the other two, we'll see...

LOL. This reminds me of myself when I was serious about being a lawyer.
I'm actually OK with the bloodrush as a second evoke. It makes sense from a flavor perspective -- it's a shock of adrenaline that makes the effect work faster, but for less duration. I guess that's the only reason I like it though.
Evolve looks like it has the most potential, but I'm not going to do Simic for the prerelease because everyone and their grandmas are doing Simic. I might get the merfolk guild-leader, though, just because I love the art for it.
The Boros keyword... needs little guys out fast to work. Otherwise, it's useless. Haste is incredibly necessary, so maybe they'll print some sweet Boros hasters.
Extort... meh.
The Dimir card they spoiled is a more expensive version of Windfall, so I'm not very impressed so far.
I would probably go simic or boros since my first guild was boros and I enjoyed it. but for this block simic seems the most competitive and aggroish for gatecrash prerelease. the problem is for boros its more edh then standard for boros.
It's actually funny, I'm the only person running Simic in my group. I'm actually going to show those milling-dimir hopefuls what kind of mechanic they got; rebound 2.0
hey guys today im going to a edh tournament. (no prizes just 4$ credit) anyways whats a good commander to use for wins. so far im thinking drana, kalastra bloodchief what other commanders are you guys thinking I can use
Update: For Clem: SA: Due to a lot of issues surrounding weather and the holidays, I am extending the deadline until Monday. Same time as always, 8pm Est. basically I am making round 3 last an extra week for special for special circumstances. That and I'd hate to have another round with 2 draws in it. About 2012 [Clan Mono-Black] BYOS Tournament (3rd ROUND DUE DEC 27)
If you wanna win in EDH, play Our Great Parun I. Nothing says "win" like a combo in your face!
In other news:
I've been playing The Judge lately, and it's been working pretty well. The combos in it don't work too well without obcene amounts of draw. The Consecrated Sphinx works well if it resolves, but Azami is a mainstay (unfortunately) in our playgroup. I've got Deep Analysis, Mulldrifter (which is great with Venser, the Sojourner if able), and Rhystic Study in there. Can anybody recommend any good draw spells, creatures, or enchantments (the magic fish isn't really that worth it...)? I don't really like pay X cards, like Stroke of Genius, because I don't have mana doublers or any other way to really make such cards worth it. But I'm open to suggestions. =]

Mistmeadow Witch is sweet if you're already running a bunch of sweet things to blink. Opportunity/Tidings are both good, but I really don't think you need to run ramp to make Sphinx's Revelation good. Looter Il-Kor is a pretty good creature for seeing more cards.
Hope that helps a little.
Not familiar with that artist's signature. I'd recommend trying to see if he has a website, and/or check ebay for other signed cards to compare to.
