i drafted TS today, played black/green with a splash of white...i had a ton of black madness cards...and a few mindstabs...those were funny to suspend on turn 1.
And yes, no incantatrix for you. Or anyone. That class makes puppies cry. Mostly because they are the former Big Bads who have been Baleful Polymorphed into said puppies. By you. Because you're an incantatrix.

Yeah, I don't see her handling a pissing match in any way other than a duel.

you'll be happy to know that the first two decks whose faces i beat in at the booster draft today were U/x control/counter-ish decks. i thought blue mages were supposed to be clever, and tricksy...i drew out counters with stuff like scryb ranger then dropped teh beaters. i also managed to pull a wheel of fate, followed by dark withering and psychotic episode. it's funny to see them panic as suspended cards come closer to resolving...
Well, I'm going to throw myself in here as a member of this clan. I have been playing mono-black since Necropotences' heyday.

Well, I'm already a member of ARD, but I'd love to be a friend of this clan.
As is obvious to anyone who knows me, black is and always will be my favorite color in Magic.

Well, black won't be your favourite if blue and black get together and have a successful merger, AoK!
I'd love to be a friend to this clan! If you ever need help with Clans, just ask votan, Furor (I doubt he'll have the time to bother reading though), myself, and other fellow members.
Hey, Svogthir, try to get a merger between your clan and that of Spectral Shade's, which is apparently going defunct - it's called Guardians in the Shadows, and they pretty much love B.
Thanks for founding the clan Svog, I've already posted on the Clan council and will do whatever i have to do. Btw, did you just make me clan leader? i'm confused by some of the Check ins that other clans have made >.<
Yay, mono-black^^
hey AoK, haven't seen you at the thread(in deck critique) in ages, i'm begining to miss the feminine.
Btw, i can't actually check in until we have our 6 members, but don't worry, we have 2 weeks
So far our members are:
Svogthir - Founder
SyNide - Representative
Echoareone
Loxodon
Szadek_Lord_of_Secrets
Our Friends are:
AoK
Charlie Donaldson
Magic Mage
Also, i, because we are who we are, I suggest clan titles, given to the first 6 members(automatically) and as our clan grows, senior members(not the originating 6) will be able to get their titles. So far this is all i can think of, but The clan will have alot more as we grow.
For now, Mono-Black will never die because we are death incarnate!
I haven't lost my patience in explaining this, but it's probably best if you read Furor, and votan's Forum Guidelines AND Clan Primer (Please Read) [UPDATED 04-14-2006].;) Clans are essentially places in which like-minded posters pool their thoughts, and compete in Clan Contests, which earn these clans points. At the end of the year, the Clan with the most points wins Clan of the Year accolade, and each of its members gets a token that signifies that they are in the winning clan - this token is a trophey.
Sign me up. Mono black is all I play and I've had the "Proud supporter" thing in my sig for over a year just cause there wasn't anything like this to join before.
I want to start a petition that the mono-black thread be stickied in the Standard forums.

Welcome Juggles, you've just become our sixth member.
Alright, i've checked our clan in, we are now, official!
A petition to sticky the mono-black thread? Maybe, but as it is it never really floats anywhere past page 1, ours is pretty active.
About the Clan, what we should have is someone to make sigs and avatars for members. I also think that it would be better if we remade the thread, so that the first post is more explanatory of the clan and such, Svog, if you want i'll get permission to do so and make it happen.
SyNide great idea to recreate the thread and sticky it. as far as leadership, if it's cool with the HQ and the rest of the clan i would be more than happy to share leadership with you. Echoareone, I dub the official avvy and sig maker of Clan Mono-Black. also as long as we are the recipeant is cool with it, titles among the elder members is fine by me.

Thanks to Zaph and spiderboy4 at High~Light Studios for the kick ass sig and amazing avvy.
Well, I'm not posting here to ask to be a friend but to tell you that it's a good thing that someone started a clan like this. At the Magic website I used to go to the only clans were monocolored ones (they were called "covens" instead of clans), and I hoped that such clans would fit here. I hope that this spreads to all colors.
Well, if any of you are Legacy players (and you should be ), then..

No need; no clan needs stickies, and no clan, in particular, really deserves stickies, and that'll be a precedent for clans "warring" over these stickies. Also, if all clans had stickies, it'd be pointless having such threads, and they'd still move, and even bump down the important threads.:teach:;)
If you've got an active clan, you'd have no reason to actually employ stickies.

Normal members cannot sticky threads.;)
"Idem" - there's no need in stickying clan-clan threads.
:crazy::rollout: :rollout::crazy: To get bloodstains out of clothes apply hair shampoo and soak the garments in cold water for five minutes before sticking them in the wash. This lifts out the stains quite nicely.:evillol::smileup:
Liege of the Pit makes baby kittens cry. Seriously. Unless you have things to feed him, he will be a major pain in your rear. That deck looks like a mishmash of aggro/control, which generally doesn't work in mono black.
Mourn the loss of O-Stone, guys, because now there is no reliable way for MBC to blow up stuff that isn't a creature or land. That is the ONLY reason I included Curse in the board, because I really think the card is bad, mainly because its suspend is undoable unless you have multiple, and its 9B CC is overcosted in the extreme.

oooh, that'd be good - suggestions are welcome (read: demanded), and i'd be happy to do that.
@AoK - i love MBC builds with nothing erroneous. that one looks pretty darn tight. helldozer is a tank, and a land-destroying tank at that, even though he's not my personal style...i guess if/when i eventually get more into MBC (i'm an aggro guy, myself), i'll learn to like him more.
edit: btw, i forgot to mention the plague boiler - it's worked pretty well for me, especially if you can get your opponent to overextend a bit before it you drop it, while you keep a few smashers in hand.
Okay... Magic Mage persuaded me to befriend this clan, so.. here I am
I did? I merely suggested it - surely, ever player has played black at least once, Wessel.:)
Quote from Wessel »
MAGIC MAGE You left the convo without me being able to even say 'goodbye', so... I'll say it here:
Goodbye
Oh, sorry Wessel - I got cut off, coincidentally. I'm so sorry, but here's the "goodbye" anyhow.:p So, so, so, so, so sorry, Wessel.:suckup::crying:
So, may Wessel be friended by this clan?
Quote from Svogthir »
AoK: if absolutely needed just use Plague Boiler. it takes less time than curse, even without green mana.
So long as the Plague Boiler doesn't destroy your fundamental cards, you're fine. Maybe chucking in a regenerator might the deck, because it can survive the Boiler. Alternatively, using a self-reanimating creature works, but the only one I can think of is Chronosavant (in Standard, otherwise, Necrosavant works!^_^).

I've never been an avid black player myself; mostly opting for green-white decks, but I have played mono-black before, and enjoyed it.
I'd love to be a friend here, and become a regular poster here.
