I highly doubt our guild leader being a goblin for several reasons:
1. Look at the goblins we have already seen in ravnica: War-Torch Goblin and Frenzied Goblin and Boros Recruit. Do these seem very izzets? Well, obviously the boros recruit is boros, but the other two dont seem very much izzet. They seem more gruul or rakdos.
and
2. If you look at the MTG GP minisite, the gruul decription seems to have goblins as a main part of the gruul.
So no, i think our guild hero might be Trivaz, or maybe jsut some other mage. I suspect it will be human, though. i ahve nothing against goblin, on the contrary, i love them, but i HIGHLY doubt that they will be our guild champion.
EDIT: As to the clan rivalry, i agree with PurpleD in that selesnya is a definite enemy. They brainwash their initiates, doing the thing the izzet fight against. They conform the mind, the most important part of the body, which should be free to be reckless and adventurous. They have no respect for it, even their leaders share a consciousness, as though the mind were just a way of communication, which is the exact opposite of what the izzet believe in.
Hmm. You've got the point. But these lil' bastards can be quite intellectual (Embermage Goblin, Goblin Pyromancer, Goblin Wizard.)
If not a champion (you're right, it will be Trivaz, most likely) there will be Izzet goblin. Look at Flight of Fancy. Do you see theese gizmos on hiz eyes? They look similar to the ones that guildmage wears. And this goblin wears robes, wich is not too typical for this folk. Am I right?
Sure. There are 6 words "goblin" in Guildpact. One is absolutely in Gruul. But he can be named ".... Goblin" and have creature type goblin, so we have 4 left. One more for gruul, one unaligned {or Rakdos} - and we have about one left for us.
Talking about champion, I agree, it may be Trivaz, he is well-know due to flavor texts.
well, who expected Niv-mizzet to b a dragon b4 he was seen? so in my opinion, any type is possible. And im in favor of clan competition too, not anything too mean though (or else those ppl will PM u till u delete ur statement that "may b offending to their clan")...
Hey clan I'd like to give a heads up. The next clan contest will in al likelyhood have some artwork portion. I'd like to take a quick survey to see how many people here are good with photo shop and that type of thing.

So the soldiers lift their rifles and
they're aiming at the head
they think of their first love before they take their final breaths
and somewhere in the distance
they hear something someone said: "how did it come to this?"

Well, Oasis and faust are part of a good avvy and sig shop (the one me and some othe rmembers of the guild got their avvies/sigs!), i'd imagine they could give us some good entries.
Yo! I'm active. There are some major changes a-comin'. I can smell it in the wind. I wonder who will be my co-apprentice. Selesnya is the enemy. Sorry Wuffles_II. We all love you and pie (in a completely hetero way) (unless you happen to be his girlfriend or whatever) (unless Wuffles_II is a girl then her boyfriend) (man I hope (s)he is not gay or I would be really confused). Hook 'em Horns!

Lets not get into that, its all somwhat confuzzling. Lets leave the confuzzling gender talks w/ sexual innuendo to the gaymers, they're the ones who understand it (not that i have anything against gay/lesbian/whatever people, but i always feel somewhat awkward while talking about it, im sure some of you know what i mean).
Username: Tiki_man Reason you wish to join: Izzet's cool, same with counterburn High Mage you wish to Apprentice under: Umm... Spell Manipulation, I guess... Anything else about you: Umm... I play MTG...a lot?
Also, how do I figure out if I've been "entered"? I'm kind of new at this whole...well...whole thing.
Wuffles: I was talking about conflicts with OTHER clans, not internal.
So what do the rest of you guys think about the clan war? It can make this more exciting, and when clan contests come along we can have our allies vote for us and against the enemies.

I know what Bweebwee means. I don't think he is homophobic. Is our High Mage limit at eight or could there be more if needed? If there is a limit, there goes my hopes and dreams.
I hope you guys understand I was kidding.
No, im not homphobic, but whenever the subjct comes up, i try not to say too much about it, in case i accidentally say something that might be taken the wrong way or insulting somehow, so thus i tend to feel awkward while discussion the topic.
okay. I hope you didn't take my question the wrong way. I know some people who are, and that's the way they talk about it. I used to be all worried about being pc, but for the most part, everyone's cool with whatever. Unless they're uber-sensitive.
Too many people are homophobic. But unless Niv-Mizzet's only fear is gayness, then I'm sure there is a debate thread we can go to to discuss this. Sorry fo starting a mini-debate.
Who else thinks Shattering Spree should've been printed in Mirrodin?

Well, I am going to do a brief autobiography of myself now, to clear up any doubts as to my identity -
Hello Izzet, my real name is Adam Williams. I am 20 years old. I am born and raised in New Zealand. I am currently a 3rd year university student majoring in philosophy, political science and international relations. I like pecan pie, ever since I was twelve years old and my dog died, when my parents took me out to a high-class american resteraunt and treated me to a $100 meal. I don't remember my main course, but I do remember that desert was the best I had ever eaten. Yes, that was proper American Pecan Pie.

To prvent any further dusagreements within the clan I'd suggest to Oasis that we make bweebwee the final high mage. If any one has any problems with this please adress them in this thread.
I agree. A dectagon of high magi to rule them all. And no one seems to have disagreed yet.
