Once you post your deck list, members will welcome you and if your list checks out, you will become one of our Minions. Once you are a minion, you are a new member. Once you become active enough (50 posts in the clan threads in a relatively timely manner (i.e. not 50 posts over the course of a few years), you will become a Disciple, and with it you will get a nifty title (that follows the style Disciple of ~, where ~ is a black mana trait)! The Praetors user group is exclusively for past Evincars, Scions, CMB tournament Champions (if your a member that is.

However, if you have already reached the magic number of 50 posts as a friend, you will automatically become a Disciple! If you were inactive or inconsistently active, you will still be required to submit 50 posts in a relatively timely manner.
Section 4: Resignations

I wanted to go see if but I haven't had the opportunity yet. Soon I'll be updating my Playing List with my newest commander deck: Glissa the Traitor. Next on the workshop chopping block is Gisela who is likely going to be soldier legendary themed if I can help it.
For my newest FNM deck I plan on making Boros Humans since it'll be a while before I can procure Tamiyos.
Nah no thanks. You can keep your nerd thug tactics. It is ridiculous that I cant trade MY cards using MY databased list which is easy to update and manage. The mod community here is the terrible, virtual MTG brownshirt club.
and your nice disciple of corruption is still in the dark and loving it
cant wait to see the next story
jest like to note everyone is running more white so all my anti white cards are doing so much work it is funny when i hear people say that black cant win >:]

Second off, I like to suggest to change the title from [CMB] to [Clan Mono-Black]. Honestly it looks sloppy that way. That and how are we supposed to advertise ourselves to new members. Clan Mono-Black definitely will show newcomers what we're about more than CMB does.
Third of all....I dont like the name. Makes us sound like mindless zombies. That said, with all the Angels and good stuff, we didn't have that much to work with...
Wasnt my first choice of thread titles either but thats the one that got the most votes by the populace.
Fixed it to full CMB name
I think I'm starting to get EDHD as well. (4 built on Cockatrice, all of which i have paper versions of{need to update me sig i see}, and many more planned lol)
My final semester grades were posted Kept my cumulative above a 3.25, so I consider the semester a huge success! I thought my GPA was going to drop below 3.15, but I ended up with a 3.27!!
Also, in case you don't understand my wanting of a 3.25, at Clarkson if you have a 3.25 or higher when you graduate with distinction and that is my goal :-p. Half way done with college and I am just above that. I still got PLENTY of work to do

Cheers man, keep up the work and you can do it.
Just wanted to pop in and say congrats on another thread.
You're welcome! My first time shooping went surprisingly well, haha. I'm glad you like it.
So, I played Pauper for the first time. tordeck made me a Goblin deck for it. OMG, you guys, that deck is wicked fast, haha. He didn't even have a chance to get started before he was dead.
It's only fair. He kicks my ass at every other format we've played, haha.

I'd never even heard of it before, lol. (Ok, that's not true, but I had no idea what it was.)
It's pretty sweet. I mean, all I know of it is the goblin deck he made me and the deck he ran (which I never actually got to see in action, lol) and I like it.

We play on Cockatrice so its always free but pauper is still a fun format.
I was playing MBC and mulled to 5. She rolled over me with gobbos. Ive also got Delver MUC built which might fair better in thee matchup.
For a long time pauper was the only constructed format I played on MTGO. Had almost all the top decks at one time or another. (MBC, MUC, MGStompy, UB Fae, Gobbos, TPPS, Dark Boros)

Second off, I like to suggest to change the title from [CMB] to [Clan Mono-Black]. Honestly it looks sloppy that way. That and how are we supposed to advertise ourselves to new members. Clan Mono-Black definitely will show newcomers what we're about more than CMB does.
Third of all....I dont like the name. Makes us sound like mindless zombies. That said, with all the Angels and good stuff, we didn't have that much to work with...
Fixed it to full CMB name
I think I'm starting to get EDHD as well. (4 built on Cockatrice, all of which i have paper versions of{need to update me sig i see}, and many more planned lol)
Art is up. Thanks

Also, in case you don't understand my wanting of a 3.25, at Clarkson if you have a 3.25 or higher when you graduate with distinction and that is my goal :-p. Half way done with college and I am just above that. I still got PLENTY of work to do

540 Peasant cube- Gold EditionSomething SpicyYou're welcome! My first time shooping went surprisingly well, haha. I'm glad you like it.
So, I played Pauper for the first time. tordeck made me a Goblin deck for it. OMG, you guys, that deck is wicked fast, haha. He didn't even have a chance to get started before he was dead.
It's only fair. He kicks my ass at every other format we've played, haha.

I'd never even heard of it before, lol. (Ok, that's not true, but I had no idea what it was.)
It's pretty sweet. I mean, all I know of it is the goblin deck he made me and the deck he ran (which I never actually got to see in action, lol) and I like it.
