Round 2
2) None of the reprints can be Reserved List cards, and none of the reprints can have been printed in more than one set. Cards with a printing in only one set and a promo printing are fine. (For instance, Vampire Nighthawk is not okay, but Remand is. The reprints must fit your deck's theme. Also, concerning reprints, try to watch secondary market value. These decks are supposed to MSRP at $29.99. Extremely expensive reprints will be frowned upon.
Can the reprint have appeared in a Duel Deck, Vs or Premium? Cause I knew a good common card then realized it was in a Duel.
So guys! Class is kicking into high gear (I just finished most of my HW, and it's 2:30am... @_@). So I'm not really sure I can dedicate a ton of time to thinking up a bunch of new cards, creating a complete deck, AND adhere to several minute rules. (srsly... I'm not gonna look up if a card has only been printed once... for every card >_>)
I guess what I'm saying is that I'll take myself out of the competition for now. When I'm not in class or preparing for class, I'd rather enjoy conversation with you guys and with the EDH forum than thinking up a deck like this. Y'all should still have fun, and I'm looking forward to seeing what everyone produces!
And fear not!! I'll still be here popping my head in, thought-experimenting, discussing Theros (LOTS to talk about here, eh?), and doing other Elder-Dragon-y sort of things.
@Raikou: Just asking, but i noticed that 5 cards on 6 that i chose are green or red. I'll be penalized for that? If yes, can i edit the post changing some of them? Thanks
Watchtower of the Sun2WW [R]
Snow Creature - Wall
Defender
Tap an untapped creature you control: You gain 1 life.
Defensive Stance1WU [U]
Enchantment
All creatures get -2/+2 and gain flying. "At times, defense is the best offence."
Coldsteel Monument5S [M]
Legendary Snow Artifact
Snow permanents are indestructible. "Not the everlasting winter, not the harsh storms nor even the years has managed even to scratch it. What makes you think you can?"

No problem, so long as you do it before the deadline. Your deck does eventually need to use all five colors, though.
EDIT: Gonna drop the restrictions on cards having been reprinted. I noticed a lot of complaining about this in both PMs and posts here. Reprints can be in regardless of how many sets they've been printed in.
Mul Daya Spellbreaker3G
Creature - Elf Shaman Ally (U)
Whenever Mul Daya Spellbreaker or another Ally enters the battlefield under your control, you may destroy target enchantment.
If that enchantment is put into a graveyard this way, you gain life equal to the number of Allies you control.
2/2
New card #2
Affa Insurgent2RR
Creature - Human Berserk Ally (R)
Haste
Whenever Affa Insurgent or another Ally enters the battlefield under your control, gain control of target creature an opponent controls until end of turn.
Untap that creature. It gains haste until end of turn.
3/2
New card #3
Jwar Isle Archmage2U
Creature - Merfolk Wizard Ally (R) T: Counter target spell unless its controller pays X, where X is the number of Allies you control.
1/1
Now that i've edited with one card for each color, it looks way better. Oh, and i decided the name for the precon too! It will be "Strenght in Unity"
More than appropriated, though
So, I just saw Whip of Erebos, and I'm super excited now! I've been looking for both a way to gain some extra life and some reanimation in my Prossh EDH, and this is PERFECT. I can't wait to play this and gain 5-6 life at a time from reanimating my creatures!!!

After seeing that, now I know my next deck is going to be Obzedat, Ghost Council. Built as a reanimator deck with as many flicker effects as I can muster.
I have my submissions ready!!! I hope you like the whole demonic theme
Card #1 (Uncommon)
Card #2 (Rare)
Card #3 (another rare [This is borderline mythic...])
That first card should be able to hitlands, because that is in red and blacks color pie. Look at wrecking ball. Also it should be nondemon non enchantment. Those colors CANNOT interact with enchantments that efficiently. It's waaaay out of color pie.
second card would probably fly as a 3/3 since the mana cost is hard, or a 2/2 with flying.
3rd card is definitely mythic and needs to be made as such.

Thanks for the feedback! I'll probably tweak these with your ideas in mind.
Just thought I'd drop by and say that this is probably one of the coolest premises for a clan I've ever seen.
I can't join myself because my affiliation lies elsewhere, but EDH is my favorite format and I'd love to be able to jump into the conversation from time-to-time.

You're always welcome to as well! Feel free to join in our conversations at any time!
At Shortstack, I hope you don't take my suggestions harshly. I reread my post and realized my tone might be a bit negative. I like your ideas, I just think they need some polishing!
You deemed my general "silver-bordered", so I'll stay true to the flavor

Arcane Labrador :1mana::symg::symu:
Creature — Dog Advisor (U)
Exalted
When Arcane Labrador enters the battlefield, draw a card. Only the dog knows for sure.
2/3
Doggelgänger :3mana::symu::symu:
Creature — Dog Shapeshifter (R) Imprint — When Doggelgänger enters the battlefield, you may reveal a creature card from your hand. If you do, Doggelgänger enters the battlefield as a copy of the revealed card.
2/4
Sow of Temptation :1mana::symw:
Creature — Pig Wizard
Flash
When Sow of Temptation enters the battlefield, gain control of all permanents you own.
:symu:: Sow of Temptation phases out.

Phasing doesn't cause permanents to trigger abilities. When it phases out or back in, it doesn't change zones.

Yeah, the same for me, i hope you don't misinterpreted our tone However, new cards spoilered! Why do they did Green and White ordaly stronger than the others? We won't know

Look like they're trying to make Black-based control decks viable again, too. Thoughtseize, of course, being the major draw. But the Ordeal of Erebos probably isn't bad for that either, at least in drafts... I can definitely see Esper control -- or at least UB control -- being a serious thing with all this Scry.
They are giving White some lovin' (finally!), but not in any way that makes me particularly thrilled. As usual, there's solid low-drop weenies and a not-so-terrible (though highly conditional) removal spell that works in the set (read: draft).
Blue at least isn't getting hosed, like it seemed to be in RTR. Actually, of all the colours, in Theros, Blue seems like it would be most fun to play.
In general, I really like the set so far -- for all colours. But I'm disappointed in general that WotC is making everything so creature-heavy or creature-oriented. I get it's part of their whole "new world order," but one of the major things that sets MtG apart from other TCGs is that it is based interaction with opponents at various levels. When someone tries to force me to interact with the opponent only at a certain level (i.e., when they have stuff on the battlefield, so "battlefield level"), the other levels (think, "stack level") gets lost and the game gets stale.
But there's hope, yet. Again, Thoughtseize is promising. The new Blue counter isn't terrible, though I don't see myself using it, and I can't imagine it running around in Standard. However, there is that new Blue bounce spell with Scry for 1U that I can see being just fantastic.
Anyways! Those are just my thoughts for now. I'll probably weigh in again later.
For now, I'm gonna see about getting a box in (or sent to) Japan...
I like the idea, but the overall card needs some grammatical fixing etc. Polish that up and your card will at least make more sense.
EDIT: Also, going to rework my cards to fix the problems and repost my submission (my reprints are all fine though, no changes there). Make them more color-pie-y (?!?)

Sorry. Can only be printed once. =/
Emille, Seven-Sting Dancer Shalin Nariya
I was thinking of its use as a three mana wrath.
There's nothing about that card that screams mythic rare.

Diabolic Edict could get some new art and new flavor text. The others should remain pretty much the same. I hope you like my submissions!

That's right, but it's highly situational and costs three colors.
No, there isn't, I agree. Like I said, I made it mythic only because I thought it was a part of the rules. Otherwise it would have been a rare.
I kinda liked the rule as well, after getting over the initial shock I decided not to change my picks at this point, though.
