Before that, first off I'd like to apologize for not being able to submit a vote (not that we'd win the whole thing anyway, just for the sake of participation). I drifted off my mind that the deadline was 12. I wasn't logging in for the past couple of dayhs due to having no time at all. Sorry.
Now - to the overhaul. We are in desperate need of one. The clan is meh in terms of activity, there's going to be decent posting for 2-3 days, falls down for 5 days, gets back up, falls down, etc. Our leader, Orzhov Syndicate has been gone. Away. No one knows what the hell happened.
So, I'm suggesting that we rechristen our name to the Ghost Mafia (Council still has us listed at Syndicate), a brand-new thread, and a new leader.
I like it. New thread, new name, new everything. I still think we should keep the Ghost Council idea, though, as it does help somewhat with the problem of inactive leaders. However, if a Council member doesn't post for a full month they are considered demoted and a new person is picked as their replacement, chosen by clan-wide vote.
We also need to recruit new members, which means we should try and run some sort of promotional campaign, though I don't know how we could do that.
And also, people should change the links/names in their sigs to TGM. We have supposedly not been called the OS in months, since we changed the clan name over, and yet people still have inks in their sigs to The OS. If we're going to get people to come to a Ghost Mafia thread, we have to call it a Ghost Mafia thread.

I definitely agree. I mean, I joined quite early (Fine, I then left for a while :p) and I can't remember a time where we were quite an active clan. We have to work on this!
I've decided to check in here. Sorry was out for a while, I may or may not be back in force now.
Anyway, I think "Feel the eight wraths of [Ghost Mafia]" might be a little better, but I really like the idea of using the "8 wraths" thing in the thread title.
Anyway, if you folks don't mind, I'll take the liberty of starting a new thread soon (in the next few days I expect). After all, we are pushing 4 months with this thread and I am technically a clan leader (despite my horrible inactivity).
That said, everyone have a good time at the prerelease and get yourself some black wraths and white countermagic!
The eight wraths are a good idea. were the only ones that can really use all 8. 4 wrath and 4 damnation. Something like:
Our 8 gods have cast 8 wraths on us.

I went 2-2 and opened 2X Serra Sphinx, a Body Double, and some other "meh" cards. Still, not too bad.
Read me and my rares
2 Damnation
Magus of the Library
Magus of the Tabernacle
Serra Sphinx
Torchling
Groundbreaker
Radha, Heir to Keld
Oros the Avenger
Vorosh the Hunter
Teneb the Harvester
Braids, Conjurer Adept
Temporal Extortion
Akroma, Angel of Fury
Aeon Chronicler
Detritivore
Played at Robinsons Galleria in Metro Manila, Philippines (Went there, after a misunderstanding with some people at Glorietta who said they'd be hositng on there.)
I opened pretty much a decent cardpool at first, Plague Sliver, Extirpate, Jaya Ballard, Imp's Mischief, 2x Pyrohemia and some other worthless Rares that seem to be decent.
But then, we pass. I ended up with a terrible cardpool moneywise (really, Saffi, Hivestone and Lim-Dul are pretty bad, Spellshift is meh), but the commons were pretty good in General - 2 Sinew Sliver, THREE Stingscourger and the like. Ended up R/W/b with the Hivestone-Sinew Sliver touch, as well as Battering to give some sort of oomph for my attacks. Lost first two, got a bye on the third, we submitted the 4th round 2-1 in my favor (although we later split the pack, third match never really finished but I was hitting him for some damage already).
Won 2 packs, the one for myself had Porphyry Nodes and a Teneb, the Harvester. The pack I split ended up with him getting commons and uncommons. I think he took Shivan Meteor, Brute Force, and another card. The rare was Magus of the Arena.
As for the new title, I tihnk the 8 Wraths is a pretty good idea. Now we just need to come up with a decent title around it.
Big-time overhaul.

I don't care if I was framed for murder if I only got a warning I would let it go.

"8 Wraths. Why do you think we're [Ghost Mafia]?"

Awesome banner/sig, thanks so much to MasterBeeble, Topher, Gray, and the rest of the great guys at Aether !
The funny thing is that those cards don't even combo...
As for rares I opened, I got Magus of the Library, Fatal Frenzy, Spectral Force, and Temporal Extortion. Everything else was rather bad (literally no timeshifted rares :().
Anyway, I did have fun.
P.S. The new thread should be up some time today.
