I wish to apply to this clan. Username: Stilts Reason you wish to join: I was a fan of R/U before Guildpact even came out. Quicksilver Dagger FTW! High Mage you wish to Apprentice under: Since there's only one available I'll choose Shino, the High Mage of Pyromancy. It's a good thing I like burning stuff. Anything else about you: My decks are almost always Rogue builds, and I generally don't play to win as much as I play to find interesting synergies or play styles...which is why I like the Izzet so much. Three cheers for the Odds side of Odds // Ends!
Secondly, if I'm accepted I will gladly participate in the tourney.
Note to Wuffles: I looked at your Izzet Machinegun deck and I found it beared some resemblance to a build I had tried (for Extended format, though, not Standard). So you're not alone in your love of synergisticburn. ^_~
EDIT: I've been having a debate with myself for quite a while over which type of MtG to pursue: paper or online. I currently have a paper budget Zoo deck (I chose Zoo because it's one of the easier decks to buy on a budget), but I'm not sure whether I want to continue buying paper cards. So, I pose a question to those of you who have tried both mediums. Which one do you find yourself enjoying the most: paper or online?
Hey new member. Keep playing paper dude. It's much more fun to interact with real people.

Sorry it's been so long, guys. Things are still crazy. I can hardly find time to post here anymore. In case anybody noticed, I am a World Project Leader for Beyond the White Light.I also wanted to stop in and show you guys my W/R/U Skies build. I only started last night, so suggestions are needed. Except for the need 1 drops. I know that.
'vore is mean... Its fun to play against when ur playing black though, Cranial makes me happy With my u/r deck i just try to counter all the magnivore, but the land destruction gets aggrivation. Try to use meloku and just chump block the vore.
@aethershunt- I would take out shard pheonix, hes very good, but costs to much for your type of deck. I would also take out WeeD b/c u just dont have enough instant or sorcery to make him really evil. I would take those out and add 1 drops
Hey guys, sorry I haven't been on much in the last little while. My internet has not been working well, so all of my posts are being made from a friend's computer. Since I may not be able to contact Wuffles about the tournament, I'm leaving him with 100% control of it. If you really need to contact me, Wuffles or anybody, it would be best to email me at [EMAIL="spanishinquisition@hotmail.com"]spanishinquisition@hotmail.com[/EMAIL]. Oh, and the newest member has been added.

[B]Thus, they must fight.[/B] But a clashing of these two demi-gods would cause nothing less than a very big explosion. No one is sure how big, but it must be cataclysmic size, for otherwise the eccentric Izzet sorcerors would not be doing everything in their power to ensure this did not happen.

How's that?
RULES FOR TOURNEY.
1. Everyone has to get themselves [B]MWS[/B] and an [B]MSN[/B] account.
2. The format will be [B]standard[/B]. However, you MUST play some form of U/R. Splashes are allowed as long as it is at least a 1:1:1 ration between the U/R and the other colors. I will be quite strict on this.
2. The tourney will be one-off [B]elimination[/B] for this round - because I don't get how to do pairings for swiss. So, winners play winners, and the field gets smaller and smaller, eventuating with a winer.
3. I'll talk to C-man about prizes - he did mention that he was interested in financing these.
4. To register for the tourney, you will have to PM me with your final decklist - once this is done, you CANNOT edit your decklist at all - I will be expecting you to play with that decklist, period.
5. From this post on, you have FIVE DAYS (i.e. 120 hours) to register. Late applications will not be considered, so please don't put me in that position.
6. I am happy enough to play in his tournament - however, if people feel that this is too much of an advantage (making matchups, seeing decks and such) I would be perfectly happy to post the deck I will be playing for all to see. Or, I could just not play at all. I don't really mind either way, but, hell, I want to beat my Co-leader lol.
Yeah, this one's Standard, I think I might make the next one Block with any decks allowed - since there's no actual block PTQ, i still wanna try that format out - it looks really fun
They have been lost for 3.141592654 thousand years.

I'm definitely in. Gonna be difficult though. I can do Swiss if you want Wuffles, it's really not that hard to do ;). Also, would it be a best-of-3, or just one game? I would really hate to lose to the MWS shuffler :xd:

@ *** Hater: lol, what I need is everyone's MSN messenger emails and their standard legal U/R deck. You have two options regarding the SB. 0 cards or 15 cards. Nothing in between.
also, a short note on the gold and guild mana cards - there have been questions about this, so the deal is, if a guild mana card has either blue or red in it, it counts as being an U/R card, NOT a splash. The same rules do not apply for gold cards - the opposite applies - if they are anything EXCEPT U/R, they count as a splash colour.
Check page 6 for the full rules and background to the tourney.
faust, why aren't you playing?
I'd really love to play against one of your whacked-out izzet inventions lol .
Now, you guys have less than 4 days left to submit, so get those inner johnnies going, boys and Shino.
I think u do have my MSN, so just IM me when im on sometime, i usually dont check to see whos on so dont count on me IMing u. And if you dont have it, it is [EMAIL="Spediesteban422@netscape.net"]Spediesteban422@netscape.net[/EMAIL] . It should come up with my name as steve.

Unfortunatly, I don't have time this summer to go to any magic tournaments. I worke every saturday, and really have to, since that's the biggest cash cow day. That hasn't stopped me from spending wayyy too much time on making my magic set, though. With any luck, the spoiler will be up soon. I just have a few cards that are troublesome. Don't know what to do with them, especially since I already held the prerelease.

Heartbeat, meet my little friend. FTW, whatever.
Yes! I knew it was good for something!
Coldsnap does look promising. I think I'll get a box.
Please hold while I look through the posts I missed...
Continuation:
Arrghh! I need internet at home! You're making me sad!
Well, my brother pulled up a 'vore deck out of nowhere, and it keeps on beating me. I be angry. I also need tips on how to beat it.
The thing is, it's actually not that good. I just don't have any experience against land destruction.
Yes, play with paper. They smell better than 'pooters, and you can see your opponent's face when they lose.

Stardust Siggies! Wonderful graphics:D
Now to decide if I want to make a U/R/W or U/R build. I've already made a U/R/W a few weeks ago...but I have no idea if it works well.
Mwahaha! Time for this spastic scientist to do some experiments!
EDIT: Since it's a single-elimination tourney, I assume that means that sideboards are useless?

By "single elimination" I meant "If you lose a MATCH, you've lost the tourney"
So I will need sideboards from you guys.

Anyone else keen? Anyone at all?

Keemon peeps, don't be slow, the 1st round starts in 3 days
Anyways, thats alright, as long as we get at least 8 players for the tourney.
Thus far we have 3 including myself.
3 Days to go.
If necessary, the tourney may be put off a little bit.
I hope it won't be - till now The Izzet has been one of the most active and interesting clans in MTGS - lets not ruin that reputation now
