Clan wars ought to be fun. We ought to make it a clanwide thing. Here's how it should work:
After dissention is released, there will be a guild themed clanwide battle. Teams are permitted, maximum of 3 clans per team. Each team must have 15 participants, with a minimum of 4 from each clan in a 3 clan team and 7 from each clan in a two clan team. A clan cannot be in more than one team. Each participant is to make a deck for the tournament. Restrictions are as follows:
You may not use cards from outside of the Ravnica block
You must use only the two colors of your respective guild.
You may use only guild cards (cards with the guild symbol) and other mono-color cards in the ravnica block (hybrid cards are only allowed if they are within your guild, for example, a selesnya clan member may not use gleancrawler in their deck). NOTE: you may still use any basic or nonbasic lands, as long as the nonbasic lands are in the ravnica block.
Minimum 60 cards
This is as best as i can come up with rules and restrictions, but I'm no great shakes at tournament organizing, so I'm afraid someone else will have to make the tournament structure. This is my best take on a guild war, it could be a clan contest, although im afraid the on guild themed clans couldnt participate, so i dont think it should give official points.
I'm around I promise, I normally just do more reading. I saw a couple of options of our uncommon Electrolyze. I like it, but probably like everyone wish it did more dmg. I think it is kinda wierd that they made the two dmg dividable, but since the picture looks like the Selesnya guildmage getting nailed it is for taking out saprolings. The pic is my fav part.
Leap of Flame :symu::symr:
Instant (C)
Replicate :symu::symr:
Target creature gets +1/+0 and gains flying and first strike until end of turn.
Just got this from the mill. It's a decent card that should see alot of play in limited. What do you guys think about its constructed chances.

High Mage of Frontier Knowledge in the [Izzet] clan:symru: Want to know the secret to chaos Click Here
Man, I hate time difference! I've missed all of the discussion! Damn it! I think Earth should be disc-shaped (new point for research).
O.K., now I'm finally taking part in the discussion.
1.
well, who expected Niv-mizzet to b a dragon b4 he was seen?
Well, it was know a long time before he was seen. Don't know how, but it was.
2. I am absolutely hopeless at drawing, unfortunately. But people in other clans say that we have to make a flag and an anthem.
3. Greetings to new members! Welcome to the Guild!
4. What about Acolytes, than?
5. I am not homophobic, but I don't like to talk about it much, I don't like talking about sex at all. I am very shy.
6. Clan wars are great. But I have some suggestions. Firstly, how did it happen, that we are officialy friends of that "I-big-rock-stomper" and not officially friendly with only other scientist in Ravnica, Simic? Whilst having triple alliance with House Dimir and Cult of Rakdos, we cannot be allies with Simic, but we can have Mutual Trade/Research Agreement (we invent gizmoz for them, and they give us medical assistance for us when laboratories go boom.) Secondly, Izzets, IMHO, don't actually take part in wars. We just want that nobody bothers us while we are pressing buttons, so we're just making new magic for Rakdos and Dimir, and they destroy our Enemies politicaly and physicaly, we're just using our magic to get rid of Gruul goblins and other stuff trying to blow up our university.
7. We need 10 High mages, absolutely, so let's promote Bweebwee, he earned that, IMHO.
8. Yep, shattering spree had to be printed in mirrodin
9. Izzet Rock.
10. Anybody, tell me, what the heck is pecan?
11. Confirming Activeness is a little bit weird. Maybe Faust is on holidays, than he comes and sees that he is not high mage more. Great. Oasis, give people more time, please.
12. Draak, wat is Zelderex?
13. Rivals are great!
14. Bweebwee, good idea about clan wars.
15. Electrolyze is great! Whom are we going to kill? Lions and Golden Tail? Elves and Birds? Dividing damge is great!
16. Leap of Flame? I think it is quite good even in constructed.
17. Fellow members, are we going to be the best clan 2006 or not? If yes, we got to be cool and funky :). For example: let's make up a contract that new members have to sign; e.g. "I, undersigned, agree with all this terms: Niv-Mizzet, forecalled emploer, has no responsibility for your life and health.... you have the right to free medical ensurance... Or something like that. And why on Earth the members are called "mages"? Wizards is a proper name! Just pronounce: Izzet Wizard! And it will be even better with to "z": Wizzard. Comments?
Wooa, great post!
P.S.> By the way, Bweebwee, don't use invisitext
Quote from PurpleD »
It not really a secret, its just that it loses it's cool factor if lots of other poeple are using it. If Bore-us started using it, that would force us to stop using it, since they are our mortal enemies. As I have said many a time, It's just cooler for the unseen guild to have unseen text. So, anybody who feels like copying us will looks like idiots... not that that hasnt happened before *cough*Xander banners *cough*

Whoa, great reply there! But what's the problem with #6? You don't agree?
And what about renaming mages into Wizards? But, anyway, it's up to Oasis, if he ever is going to show up here
Oh, and that's great, that we have someone to write an anthem!
By the way, I don't know whether plural form is correct, but single defenitely is acolyte.
No, I agree, I'm just to lazy to agree, off to playing video games, and theres no need for a goblin repelant, we need more goblins and we control them. *sends a army of goblins to Birger*

Aethershunt if you want to join please go to the first page and read the joining rules. Thank you.
As for why I changed my name, I dunno. I just felt like it.
And I'm sorry if you think I'm a bad clan leader, but it's not as easy as it looks. It can get pretty confusing.
Oh yeah, Tiki_man and Phalanx have been added to the front page.
Hmm, Oasis, I don't think you're a bad leader at all - hell, only Niv-mizzet is right all the time - but a good way to minimize mistakes like the last one is to sound it off with the members of the clan.
2HD, I respect you a lot man, but I disagree - Oasis is (almost always) a very good clan leader.
Also, Oasis, as the banner-maker of the Izzet guild, Wuffles_II, High mage of the skies, formally requests that you be the one that takes the lead in designing our flag if this comes to pass. I am sure that you'll make something awesome =D
Or something like that, anyways, most of the people in this clan couldn't use photoshop to save their own lives (or, more importantly, my life :rofl:)
Once again, I repeat that I am 20 years old, turning 21 this year on...September 11th, the luckiest day of the year :banghead:.
Pecans are a type of nut, quite similar in size, texture and taste to a walnut, but smoother and without the sometimes sharp aftertaste that devouring a walnut brings. Pecan pie has sweet flaky crust, followed by a layer of caramel, with a trillion pecans on top. Usually served hot with sweet cream, vanilla ice cream, and hot fudge sauce.
Dammit, now I want some pecan pie.
EDIT: w00t Bweeb, you're finally getting the position you deserve! Were you going to be the High Mage of Experimental Explosives research? I seem to remember you commenting with something like that And I think that your rules for the guildmatch are a lot better than mine were, back in the "DYRWTKWE#267I?" thread. We should start hypothesising which archetypes we are going to be using - bear in mind that if it is 'block, then 'tron is out. And I don't really think that 'tron is as good as everyone says it is, anyways.
My MSN account is, surprisingly enough, [email]Wuffles_II@hotmail.com[/email] - and don't worry, the email is disabled - it is purely for chat purposes.
I also think we should name the three classes (i.e. the ruling class, the middle class, and the working class)
My votes go to:
1. "The Council" (with each person assigned a number according to when they joined - this would make me the "ninth",)
2. "The Senior initiates"
3. "The Acolytes"
About classes, I vote for:
1. The Council (ten of them, including Wuffles and Bweebwee)
2. Acolytes
3. Apprentices.
Everyone, strting from acolytes, are called Wizzards. The Councilars are called Elder Wizzards.
Oh, by the way, Oasis is a good leader (as far as I know) - our guild works, and that is all that needed!
P.S.> New red card!

Where is Faust anyway? He used to be one of the most active members of this clan.
As for me, I say let's not change the system of High Mage/Apprentice to something else. It's confusing enough already. However, if I am the only one who feels this way, I will stand back and let it be changed.
So what are peoples opinons on my idea for clan wars? Any suggestions? I think it could be fun for those of us who have apprentice or magic worksattion and the like to give us a chance to show that our guild's cards are the best and how awesome our deckbuilding and playing skills are. The only downside i can see is that it couldnt really be an official clan constest as only the guild clans coud, participate, otherwise they would be at an advantage because they could use any cards they wanted, unless someone can think of a good restriction for them.
EDIT: Oh, am i a high mage now? Or whatever they are going to be called? Council? Wizard? Cool, thanks a lot, i appreciate the honor. Also, Oasis, I'm listed as a high mage AND your apprentice on the front page, so you might want to change that. And i would like to High Mage (or whatever) of Experimental Explosives.
EDIT2: Ah, it looks like I'm a bit younger than everyone here, but that's ok. Age differences are nearly irrelevant here on the forums (unless you are veyr immature, in which case people will know you are younger). I am only 13, 14 in may, but i consider myself to be a tad mature for my age, so i hope it won't be a problem for anyone.
As for me, I say let's not change the system of High Mage/Apprentice to something else. It's confusing enough already. However, if I am the only one who feels this way, I will stand back and let it be changed.
i agree. and im 15, 16 on april 22. and i think that that 1 spell will probably cost 3R, b/c if it were any lower it would b way too broken. any more and ppl wouldnt use it cause it cant target creatures. anyway, does anyone think ill b able to get 4 steam vents and 4 niv for 3 watery grave and a foil foundry? i hope so :).
and as for the goblin leader, i hope not. cause a dragon is cool and awesome, but it would accidentally sit on the goblin hehe, jk. im guessing its gunna b a human, just b/c a lot of wizards in most magic sets r, so.... yeah.
And as for the clan wars, worstation would b cool (except they always screw u over if u mulligan), or we could just get all the ppl from each clan duke it out in a guildpact draft tournament, where u have to draft ur guild out of a box. i dont kno how we would do that but.... if we could make sure everyone doesnt cheat it might work.
You know, now that i think about it, a goblin champion is both cool and likely. The only reason i can see DIRECTLY against the existence of a goblin champion if the prescence of trivaz in so much flavor text, but if he is not the champion (the have put important people in flavor text but not made cards for them before) i think it is a distinct possibility for a goblin mage. It's quirky, and it has eveidence in the art of flight of fancy. I retract me earlier argument in favor of a human champion, because i think a goblin wizard is quite plausible.
Goblins are a TAD overused, in my opinion. I don't mean any offense, but there are a million goblins out there. Then again, unless he's human, the champion could be a goblin. I think it'll be a wizard, any way. Probably a mad genius too.

Well that was alot of reading for me to catch up on.
I'm 17 and will be 18 on June 14.
As for the clan wars we have to realize one thing. There are only 4 or so active guild clans. there for we could just set it up tornament style with each guild sending a representative to play. It would be kind of fun.
