Thanks for welcoming me into the clan.
About me: I'm a 19 year old male magic player. My favorite decks are blue based control. My favorite UR deck was teachings during TS-LOR standard. It was actually Urb. I loved going Mystical Teachings into Bogardan Hellkite.
@Rocker: Thanks for the cookie! I'm ready for the experiments, whatever they may be. I'm kinda curious actually. The sig is totally reflecting the position.
@Niv-Mizzet: I am totally cool with edj
i just gots lots of personal things i need to take care of in my life so a may be a little more inactive then useal<----- i cann't spell for the life of me
I've also been thinking about getting a new signature banner. I was going to go with a dark angel theme (Like the card art is dark, not they're black cards) but then I realized I was too lazy to search through gatherer to find some.
There's Haunted Angel, Wayward Angel, and Crypt Angel (it's black, but the art is too good to ignore). Personally, I really like Angel of Salvation's art too. It also makes an excellent mascot for MTGS.
Let me know if you need more recommendations.
Hello all. I just noticed that the positions of Spell Manipulation, Domination and Psycho-Delusional Wisdom do not have an apprentice. I am here to gladly fill any one of those positions out.
Ah, a new toy.
Welcome to our illustrious clan, my minion apprentice.
1. Clan Contest (1 or 2)! Didn't pay any attention to the contests 'till now. Cloud Key to cheap to tip? Haha, tough break. As for contest #2, seems like fun. I wonder what card we are going to get to build around.
2. Alara Reborn! I am excited to see if Meddling Mage really is getting reprinted. I never got to play with it before (it came out way before I started playing), so I am stoked to get to play with it now.
I am glad to see Terminate make a come-back. I am always a fan of removal.
The prerelease promo seems kind of bad outside of limited. The release promo could be good with all the multicolor madness going on.
As a fan of counterspells, I don't want to see a spellbreaker behemoth on the other side of the table.... But thats just me. Seems like a solid card.
3. Standard! Now that extended season is done, its all about standard. I am probably going to stick with Faeries all season because I have experience with the deck and I have all the cards for it. I am willing to switch though. What is everyone playing?
4. A constitution or doctrine as it were. huh?
5. New voting method? ?
Speeking of that any one know when or if Weaver is coming back to us? havent heard ne up dates recently.
Unfortunately, I've had an exchange with Weaver and he's made it clear to me he has no intention of returning. This means we are definitely going to need a new High Mage. Think about it, but nothing's happening until after the purge. Let's say it's happening Friday night.

This would primarily be related to me. Before you came along, I was the newbie, though I ran amok more or less as a dictator (with no influential power whatsoever mind you) than anything else. Well, I don't intend to be one anyway, but I give off that vibe a lot like a blue mage saying "NO" :no:.
Filling in the details is too much work, and I'm already working a lot as it is with other stuff. Too much to catch up on, so you're gonna have to disregard what #4 and #5 are about unless if someone else bothers to fill in.
But with that aside, welcome Ejdehah! What brings you to the Izzet circle?
He even got to make the art for Anthony's other Incarnation book, Being a Green Mother.
Of course, interestingly enough, I have never read any Piers Anthony stuff in my life. I stumbled upon that image of Chronos when I was doing a google image search of the guy.

I think Alara Reborn is going to be another very good set. Changes I see it bringing preliminarily are the value of Trilands in Alara p1 of a draft rising even higher in value since ARB is entirely multicolor. Meddling Mage would obviously be quite noteworthy as it has always been a viable creature in every format it's previously been legal in, and I don't see that changing now. I can already see naming me some Volcanic Fallouts with it.
I'm pretty pumped for Standard too. I've been playing B/W Tokens successfully on a local level, but need to tighten up the sideboard for Regionals. I feel like it has an even to good matchup versus everything but 5CC which can be rough without T2 Sculler/Blossom.
Rocker: sucks to hear about Weaver not comeing back. If you could wish him the best for me please. As for new high mage well I would like to throw my name in for candicy if at all posible. I relize my past may hinder that and except that as grounds for no. Id also nominate DF as her activness helps keep us alive.
DF: Yes i know that just didnt know how far along you were to guess that.
AI: thanks for the list ill make note of the page for when we get our card. Also i get why the other three are baned but why top? is there some broken ass combo or deck useing it?
Ejd: Well as far as standerd goes my list in my sig shows what im playing. Fae is number one for me and is my best deck. i can post a list for cratique and ideas if you or any one would like. also you can shorten my name to Niv every one does

I would vote for myself, but there is someone that deserves it more. So I say DarknessFalls should be the next High Mage :).
Alright, Ravus is here (:toot:), but has much too many things to reply to (in Izzet threads alone, not to mention other places...). Give me a few moments (maybe an hour) to get through this all.
*Ravus gears up for some serious business...*
Edit: First thought: I hate this thread title.
Quote from wamyc, in the last thread »
Also, Ivaldi... (and Ravus) - the Izzet aren't oliogarchists; we're meritocratists. true, we don't care so much about everyone having a voice as much as the best idea winning out. but the best way to do this is to use democracy with bullying. let everone have a voice.
Just make sure the smart people are shouting.
I know. That's why I've been pushing for oligarchy.
The current system works, but not to the best interests. See also my thoughts on the new thread title. An abomination, disgraceful to the Izzet (again, no offense intended toward AI... :sneakybread:). The High Mages should have the most pull, and... well, I'll get into this at a later time, I've still got to read through more, eh?
Quote from Ilvaldi, last thread »
And who determines who is worthy of merit?
I do. The High Mages, with the most tenure, get the most pull in clan matters. It might not seem fair, but to be honest, it is completely fair. We had to be apprentices, once, too.
Quote from DF, last thread »
We're doing just fine as an izzety clan methinks.
This.
Quote from Clem, last thread »
CC round two is up;
****, give me another quick moment...
Quote from Clem, last thread »
Does anyone else dislike the 40% rule? It seems incredibly lame that whoever gets Cloudkey and Bob is kinda sol when building a deck.
I dislike it, but I think 40% is too generous.
Quote from Ilvaldi, last thread »
Also, what I'm talking about is not now, but rather later. Now, we're quite well as an Izzety clan (whatever that may be), but we ought to consider about the later part.
We know, we're just really slow to change (usually, look at how long it took to change the thread title... :rolleyes:).

Wow rav took you long enough lol. three pages thats gotta be a record.
ok onto new spoiles of Reborn.

Ilvaldi: Noted. What brings me to the Izzet circle? Well, I guess its the things that go BOOM! Even if Ravus hates it.
haru: BW tokens seems like a solid deck. The only reason I decided to not play it at regionals is because of its matchup with 5 color. 5c is everywhere in my meta, otherwise I love the deck.
Niv: Noted on shortening the name to Niv :D. I haven't tried the red splash in Faeries. What cards are you doing it for. I like the deck at 2 colors because I don't want to drop a single mutavault and come into play tapped lands aren't fun. As far as the bant 3/3. Seems solid, but so are all of bant's 3 drops. Does the deck have room for another?
Clem: thanks!
Ravus: Thanks, noted, and to the winning lets get!
2. Alara Reborn! I am excited to see if Meddling Mage really is getting reprinted. I never got to play with it before (it came out way before I started playing), so I am stoked to get to play with it now.
There are two hits for "Meddling" and three for "Mage" in the Orb, so it's looking pretty good for our buddy Pikula.
3. Standard! Now that extended season is done, its all about standard. I am probably going to stick with Faeries all season because I have experience with the deck and I have all the cards for it. I am willing to switch though. What is everyone playing?
I'm playing Faeries and have been since Lorwyn came out.

I relize my past may hinder that and except that as grounds for no. Id also nominate DF as her activness helps keep us alive.
Well, it's safe to say that, for better or worse, none of us will forget Weaver.
I'll also recommend DF for the open High Mage slot.
AI: thanks for the list ill make note of the page for when we get our card. Also i get why the other three are baned but why top? is there some broken ass combo or deck useing it?
Counter. Balance.
Also, it makes rounds go to time because everyone's spinning their Top at EOT, T4King at EOT, spinning again at EOT, cracking their fetches at EOT, spinning yet again at EOT...
Son of a *****, now I have to check the 'Mill, too?! :monty:
Sphinx of the Silver Wind is pretty much exactly what I would expect an Esper version of Akroma would look like. I guess now we just have to wait for a black one and a green one.
It's pretty simple. From the Reply to Thread or Edit Signature box, click the icon that looks like two links of a chain under a globe. Then paste in the link you want.
Which reminds me, I still need to fix my sig link...
Also, take a look at Lavalanche. It's a lot like a card I designed a while back, except Jundier.
Mana. Ramp's. Best. Friend. Forever.

Sadly, black technically hase one in Spirit of the Night. Maybe a new and improved one!!! :). Then again, I dont want to see anymore Akroma-style cards for a while. They are nice and all, but come on wizards, give me some originality.
ok onto new spoiles of Reborn.
The deamon idk good limited thats bout all i see him good for. This Angel though, i think Bants got a new toy. 3 mana 3/3 that gives it self +1/+1 counters? thats just good.
Idk 'bout that Angel. She still dies easily to a whole bunch of stuff. With a 3 butt and no "black can't touch me" clause, I'm sure she's gonna easily get whipped. Even bounce spells can ruin a good mana's worth of counter-investing. Besides, a bunch +1/+1 counters mean nothing if she doesn't have trample. A simple token generator that makes fliers (like that Dragon Broodmother) could easily keep that Angel at bay. All and all, I think Jenara is good (definitely a solid pick in a draft and a stong win condition in sealed), but she's not amazingly great or could even go above the limit in being a game-breaking bomb.

It seems very likely the fields of Spell Manipulation and Psycho-Delusional Wisdom will cease to be supported shortly; that's why Ejd is the Apprentice of Domination.
What do you guys think of my Standard concoction? It's not meant to win a PTQ (I won't rule it out, but it seems unlikely...), just to humiliate people at FNM.

I like the deck at 2 colors because I don't want to drop a single mutavault and come into play tapped lands aren't fun. As far as the bant 3/3. Seems solid, but so are all of bant's 3 drops. Does the deck have room for another?
Clem: thanks!
Ravus: Thanks, noted, and to the winning lets get!
p.s. How do you get the link icon?
There are two hits for "Meddling" and three for "Mage" in the Orb, so it's looking pretty good for our buddy Pikula.
I'm playing Faeries and have been since Lorwyn came out.
This is a travesty. Get to it, mate!
Well, it's safe to say that, for better or worse, none of us will forget Weaver.
I'll also recommend DF for the open High Mage slot.
Counter. Balance.
Also, it makes rounds go to time because everyone's spinning their Top at EOT, T4King at EOT, spinning again at EOT, cracking their fetches at EOT, spinning yet again at EOT...
Too. Damn. Bad.
Sphinx of the Silver Wind is pretty much exactly what I would expect an Esper version of Akroma would look like. I guess now we just have to wait for a black one and a green one.
See that, Rav? My title got us fresh blood. :evillol::uhh::D
It's pretty simple. From the Reply to Thread or Edit Signature box, click the icon that looks like two links of a chain under a globe. Then paste in the link you want.
Which reminds me, I still need to fix my sig link...
Weaver was one of the members I think of when I think "Izzet". I'm still trying to get him back here...
Seconded.
That's your fresh blood. Interestingly enough, your title got you an apprentice... I wonder...
Me too...
If you're wondering if he's my gimmick...he isn't.
Also, take a look at Lavalanche. It's a lot like a card I designed a while back, except Jundier.
Mana. Ramp's. Best. Friend. Forever.
Sadly, black technically hase one in Spirit of the Night. Maybe a new and improved one!!! :). Then again, I dont want to see anymore Akroma-style cards for a while. They are nice and all, but come on wizards, give me some originality.
Idk 'bout that Angel. She still dies easily to a whole bunch of stuff. With a 3 butt and no "black can't touch me" clause, I'm sure she's gonna easily get whipped. Even bounce spells can ruin a good mana's worth of counter-investing. Besides, a bunch +1/+1 counters mean nothing if she doesn't have trample. A simple token generator that makes fliers (like that Dragon Broodmother) could easily keep that Angel at bay. All and all, I think Jenara is good (definitely a solid pick in a draft and a stong win condition in sealed), but she's not amazingly great or could even go above the limit in being a game-breaking bomb.
Also, kudos to Jesper Esjing for the awesome art on Spellbound Dragon! Another card well done for the Izzet repretoire.
Lol, I meant this link:
Which I have since figured out how to make.
Ravus: Although it sounds appealing, I am not AI's gimmick.
What do you guys think of my Standard concoction? It's not meant to win a PTQ (I won't rule it out, but it seems unlikely...), just to humiliate people at FNM.

So that means you are purging both high mages?
Looks decent. I'd probably work in Garruk Wildspeaker into the mainboard and Banefire into the sideboard.
