Hey guys, new to the thread, and fairly new to the forum, so i thought i'd just drop in. Anyone have any idea who Dimir will get Allied with for DGM prerelease? I'm hoping Orzhov, or at least Azorius. Rakdos or Izzet wouldn't be that great in limited, and Golgari or Simic would be just awful.

Built a Mimeoplasm EDH for funsies, if I actually get some downtime I'd love to cockatest it with some clanmates! Been months since I've played a game though! D;
My town has NO MtG scene whatsoever :c
I would be happy to play a few games with you, or any other clan members, if someone can help me get Cockatrice now that the site is down.
With the PTQ just over, I definitely did enough judging for this week-end. Nearly 100 players (local record!), rules questions galore, and the head judge encouraged me to do more judging and work towards level 2 certification. Yay!
Congrats on this. I wish you well as you work toward your Level 2 certification and I hope that play around your area continues to thrive.
Hey guys!
Thought I'd join the conversation with what seems to be a very cool clan. After all, my main Standard deck is black-based, and my favorite color in the pie is blue, so it fits well. Plus, Dimir's flavor is so sweet.

I don't know for sure, but something about a Dimir/Izzet alliance seems appropriate.
@ guild alliances: Azorius would be nice gameplay-wise. Flyers! Detain! Stuff! Although, I pessimistically expect to be paired with Golgari, for the 'mill yourself, then scavenge' deck that is just 1-2 turns too slow ...
@ forum at work: I'm a student. Certain lectures are great for foruming. When I work, accessing the internet would only work if I develop technomantic abilities. Tree-pruning doesn't go well with technical devices ...
Nobody's posted in two days... hope everyone's alright. I'm PMing you guys after work to start judging the contest.
+1 to 'it being the weekend.' Got errands done. Traded my foil Obzedat for store credit. Went back to the only cool and still open LGS. Pulled a couple rounds of EDH and casual playtesting. A player wanted to test his GoST/Invisible Stalker + Auras deck. Of the two 'casual' decks I had were my Shadowmoor Standard - B/R Blightning Discard deck. So my 'modern' deck. Beat him 2-1. Had some nice races.
Did errands, played GO2. And putzed. Major League II is hiliarious. Looking forward to dinner tonight. Meeting a lovely lady hopefully.

@Caduceus, just randomly paired. Some of the dimir guildpacks would be paired with rakdos, sime with Azorius, some with Izzet, some with Golgari and some with Orzhov.
I would prefer a pairing with Azorius, myself. Golgari-Gruul or a real Boros-Gruul or Boros-Izzet one would also be fun. Azorius with Izzet could be neat.
Those actually feel quite okay. Azorius/Boros as the planar law enforcement. Cult of Rakdos is also some form of religion, right? Gruul and Izzet blow up half the plane in pursuit of the 'perfect' kaboom. Also, we get to use stealth, cunning and BIOENGINEERED MONSTERS!
A friend of mine just reminded me that the announcement said that it'll be a guild from the opposite set--so Dimir and Simic couldn't be paired together, and neither could Izzet and Azorius.
That reduces some of the combination options!

Mechanic combinations, sure. Not color combinations. For example: Boros and Azorius opposed to Izzet and Azorius, or Dimir and Golgari instead of Dimir and Simic.
Regarding guild combinations I would really like to see Orzhov Syndicate and House Dimir mixed. It is the ultimate control combination, slowly draining the life out of your opponent while keeping his board tapped and making him discard when attacking with unblockable creates backed by counterspells and removal.
Though the better way to combine guilds is colour-wise, just take Rakos, Orzhov, Dimir and Golgari and combine them to mono-black (sorry couldn't resist).

If you got both, you'd be incredibly lucky...and you'd probably go 4-0

I love cards that you can dump all your mana into (Sands of Delirium)at the end of your opponents turn. If you can't, it feels like a waste.

Full time student for me but I have a summer job managing a Pizza restaurant at an amusement park. Seriously funny how stupid some of our customers are but it's an brainlessly easy job and the first 2 weeks and the last 3 weeks that we're open are always so dead that we play Magic on the counter while on the clock.

Ok, bye. Good luck with the assassinations and whatnot!
@Teraparsec, I got three. Do you want a more aggressive approach, or do you want to be an über turtle or do you aim for something in the middle? You can have all three if you want as well.

Ok, I sent you the lists. I should warn you, I always toss cards around trying new things out, they are my current lists and could maybe use a bit of tweaking, but I am mostly pleased with their current form.

Greetings to you.
I do this a lot at work myself. Cell phones are awesome that way. Lucky for me no one checks the site to read this part of the post.

I will take a deep dish pepperoni and a book on brain surgery.

@Chili, welcome back to the thread. And thanks for the pizza toppers. The thread titles are more for possible recruits to see and.figure out.
@Possible Pairings, I thought it was going to based off of color, but randomized.

Thanks. Will do!
And by randomized, do you mean that every guild pack will be different?
Regardless, I agree with the above poster--Azorius/Dimir would be awesome!

True: Scientists of the plane - unite!
Assuming the guilds will be paired in wedge color combinations, let's check the possible combinations:
Selesniya/Orzhov
Azorius/Izzet
Dimir/Golgari
Rakdos/Boros
Gruul/Simic
or, the other way around
Selesniya/Golgari
Gruul/Izzet
Rakdos/Orzhov
Dimir/Simic
Azorius/Boros
Those actually feel quite okay. Azorius/Boros as the planar law enforcement. Cult of Rakdos is also some form of religion, right? Gruul and Izzet blow up half the plane in pursuit of the 'perfect' kaboom. Also, we get to use stealth, cunning and BIOENGINEERED MONSTERS!

I work in a kitchen, cooking for old people at an assisted living community.
Meaning I really can cook pizza.
Also, let's do more Guild name mashups. Those are fun.
Borzhov for example.
@ chiligyro: I'll need a pox decklist for Legacy testing in next time. You happen to have one at hand?
@ limited esper control: love the cipher-extort interaction. Hooray for free spells!
