Sounds like a fun idea for a deck. I've been thinking about a mono-blue EDH deck as well, though my general is pretty much a joke. It'll probably catch people off guard though, a mono-blue general that can kill in three swings is kind of funny.
That card is so bad, dude. When you don't have any lands, you're just going to lose.
I'm not yet entirely sure about mine, but at first thought, it would look like this:
URBWG
a true Izzet, eh?
My list: URBG (tied with) W
I'm a Spike-Timmy, so I'll play whatever is good as long as it's also fun to play. For instance, while Time Sieve combo is good, hilarious, and very blue, it also takes forever to finish games, so 4CB (no blue) is a nice way to change up the pace. My favorite decks accrue unfairamountsofCA.
Burnburnburnburn or swing to the face with three 17/2 Piledrivers.
No thanks.
I like black best because I like to kill stuff.
I like green next because it satisfies my inner Timmy by giving me big creatures.
I like white next because it ALSO blows stuff up.
Blue is next because of Tezzeret, Master Transmuter, Tinker, and Tolarian Academy.
Red is.. burny.
In D&D, though, I invariably play a spellcaster who's an evoker....
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.

I suppose it's true. Though the logistics implied in a human/Great Wyrm Prismatic Dragon pairing makes me shudder.
...Something tells me that even should all arcane casters in the world unite, that the Grease spell would NOT be sufficient.
That card is so bad, dude. When you don't have any lands, you're just going to lose.
The idea is to get the one copy of Lich's Mirror into play and than somehow (losing manaburn made this deck even worse which seems tough to do) lose the game with all your land phased out. Its like a horrible singleton Warp World deck but without any of the good cards like Hellkite.
Burnburnburnburn or swing to the face with three 17/2 Piledrivers.
No thanks.
lol, this is actually one of the reasons why I love red.
Blow up everything in your path and smash your opponent into a pulp with assorted creatures and burn before they know what him 'em. That's pure red for ya
my favorite colors are 1stR tied for second are 2ndUorW 4thG and lastB
i like red the best because its fun to burn everything, i really like red because of its hastyness, you're always attacking or sending damage to the face.
blue is tied for second because i love card draw and control, not to mention stealing your opponents creatures and tapping down their whole field.
white is a tie for second because i basically love controling a well trained army, plus their removal is nice.
green is forth because i think it's fun to play, but i really don't care for uber giant creatures.
black is dead last because i really don't like playing zombies or demons, if zendikar brings me some shiny new Vamps then i'll gladly play black.
Darn, too late to make the first page oh well...in before Ravus!!
Hi all, gratz on the new thread, it appears to be a bustling year for the izzet. My sources incidicate that you are getting quite a few new acolytes. And thanks to Ravus your douchewaffle levels are close to 9000.
So now that its been a while, what do you all think of M10? I'm kinda sad that there is a shortage, but sometimes that's the breaks.

I like it. As you can see from our previous discussion, Ilikered, so this set is perfect for me.
Even better for me was reading the spoiler and seeing what wasn't reprinted. I literally checked white, than red, than artifacts only so the rest of it was pretty new to me at the prerelease/release events. I was so excited when I saw no Story Circle or Cop: Red in the set. Plus Pithing Needle being back is even better news because I hate Forge Tender.
Hello everybody
Yay for new thread
M10... I haven't even played with the set yet. I haven't played with the new rules at all. Hell, I haven't even played Magic in a long while. My first FNM should prove to be interesting.
also why are you guys always playing the same deck as i am at the current time or just about the same time??
what does everyone feel about the spainish inqusition deck?
for those of you who don't know that name it's the deck mark hendrickson used to top8 at nationals with
cause i've playtested it a little and it just seems so nuts right now granted you need to change it a little for all of the 5cc that roaming around but it's not that hard to do
Our telephone has been fixed. The problem was in the wire that ran from the pole to the house. Horray for no charge repair visits.
We only have the landline because its easier to direct people to that so we don't really have to talk to them when we don't want to. Plus, my grandparents had this phone number too, so it's easier for our relatives to remember our house number and not have a reason to call when we need to know something and cell phones aren't working.
My cell phone still gets buzzed like all the time though. I don't know if my number is a recycled number or what.
I'm amazed we've gotten to page three and Ravus hasn't shown yet. Has Psi shown either?

it seems like an interesting deck, hows it working for you? what are its good/bad matchups? a decklist would be nice.
I couldn't remember, I laid down earlier after the repair man left and was asleep for several hours. Prolly won't fall asleep till latelatelate tonight because of it. D:
Ravus is prolly having net issues.
I also started packing up a bag to take with me to the hospital. Horray. I wanted it packed up before Monday incase she goes "Oh by the way, we're inducing you today since baby won't have enough fluid to survive" Hopefully not, but doesn't hurt to be prepared.

That sounds really crappy. Pact of Negation is the only way for that deck to consistently kill itself.

It seems extremely mediocre. I'm pretty sure 5CC is flat-out better, but I haven't actually tested that deck to see how it plays. If you want to test on MWS...
My cell phone still gets buzzed like all the time though. I don't know if my number is a recycled number or what.
I get random calls from time to time from people who want to speak to some woman who apparently has kids. There was a dude who called to give his condolences on "my mother passing," which was news to me.
I do too, but whatever needs to happen will so we're good.
I just started packing the bag to be prepared. I'd rather have some stuff than nothing at all. So, I'll have the bag with me on monday just in case. Hopefully I'm just reading too far into what she said.
It's taken two weeks for anything to change dilation wise, was closed for two weeks, been dialated to 1cm for two weeks. She generally always tells me the measurement of my stomach whenever she takes the measurement, this past time she hasn't. She said her normal 'See you next week' but she also made a comment of 'We don't have to worry about this being a big baby' which she hadn't said before. Then she also, after I changed and got out of the room she goes 'I want to see you Monday for an ultrasound to check fluids around baby.'
The people at the front desk asked if it had to be Monday, so they're kind of squeezing me in. So, I mean, hopefully nothing is wrong and she tells me she'll see me next week and not "K get in your car, will see you at the hospital."
There are a wide variety of things she can tell me, whatever she does tell me though I'm hoping will be good news. Bedrest will suck but eh whatever.
Sorry about the long ranty post, needed to get it out of my system.

That deck looks sick. Harm's Way is an obvious game changer in Limited and MotWH breaks the game open if not answered. The best part is that he still keeps pumping out tokens even if under a Pacifism, Blinding Mage, or Ice Cage. Cudgel Troll is also been incredibly frustrating to take out from what I've seen and experienced in the format.
i think Ravus is just watching us from afar and laughing silently to himself:sneaky:
I doubt it. He hates feeling like he's missing out on something awesome, like the smell of a new thread...assuming that mass-less packets of information zooming along at the speed of light can stimulate homo sapiens olfactory glands.

The only weakness I can see is its inability to remove Platinum Angel (aside form Acidic Slime) and, to a lesser extent, weakness against Bogardan Hellkite. Do you have a Naturalize and/or Solemn Offering you could have sided in (assuming that you're not using the same deck for Day Two)?
i like red because it burns your opponent and has a starightforward way of 'expressing itself.'
i like blue because it deceives and outwits your opponent. plus, it gets really annoying.
i like black because of its ways of getting what it wants and its plain 'blackness'.
I like blue because it has all the tools to out maneuver your opponent. It has card advantage and tricky spells. Plus, the look on your opponent spell when you whip out yet another counter spell. Priceless.
I like red because it burns everything with reckless abandon. It really doesn't care.
I like black because it kills everything. Plus, it has hand disruption.
The thing about white is that it had Wrath of God. It has Path to Exile but without the four mana sweeper, it doesn't control enough for me.
Green.....basically the opposite of what the game is for me. (oddly enough though, I'm probably :symg::symu:, but not simic, in real life as a person.)
So I'm supposed to have started moving out by now...but my friend's mom took the car to the stables so she could ride her horse. Now we're waiting for her to get back so we can finally get started.
That card is so bad, dude. When you don't have any lands, you're just going to lose.
Is that a threat or an invitation?
