So Fated Return....I can get behind this. Not sure I'm considering it for my Karador EDH deck, as its curve is very low for the most part and that the deck does a lot of reanimating and sacrificing again, so the Indestructible is meaningless. But I am definitely liking the card for EDH.
For EDH, Fated Return looks quite good I agree on that. All I can say is Demon of Death's Gate seems like a pretty good target for it. It just oozes of timmyness.

I'm going the spike route of Iona, Shield of Emeria...like my playgroup doesn't hate me enough already....
Picked up some novelty sleeves today Got some of those Legion "Wild and Free" sleeves with the kitten on them today. I figured they'd be a perfect fit for my Mayael, the Anima EDH deck. Got the Ultra Pro Grumpy Cat Sleeves for my Thraximundar deck. Then got Karador, Ghost Chieftain some Panda Legion sleeves. While the other two were relevant choices, I must admit, the panda for Karador was not relevant...I just like pandas.
I've decided I'm at that point in my Magic playing career that simple and plain sleeves are boring now. Especially since all I play is EDH. I think I'm turning into the type of person I used to hate. Oh well. I'll have to snap a photo of my new sleeves later for you guys.
I only use black sleeves, it is a pain when I have to find the deck I am looking for though, but especially since Hymn to Tourach, Dark Ritual, Duress and Swamp are in frequently appearing in them too... On the plus side, nobody in my playgroup can ever guess what deck I am playing...

I used to do that too with my non-EDH decks. I used black at first, but all it took was one batch that were bad and looked different, then I stopped using black and went to the Magic back Ultra Pros. Never use anything other than those for constructed. I'd love to use those for all my edh decks so it would be so much easier to pull cards from them in the rare instance I go to FNM or a modern tournament or something, but when you have nearly 20 EDH decks, it gets kind of repetitive and boring....:-/
What does everyone think of BNG now that the full spoiler is up? I think white made out with the most. We got some nice cards, but none of them are unique or powerful enough to warrant inclusion in new or even existing decks.
Limited should be more interesting though now that we have access to more and better removal.
Torment's herald is the only card that stands out to me; I have a playset of Bobs, so pain seer isn't exciting me. Forsaken drifters doesn't look interesting, but if they reuse the mechanic in the future and on better cards, we could have some really interesting cards like:
Mill Phage
1B
When this dies, put the top four cards of your library into your graveyard.
3/3
Mill Arena
1BB
When Mill Arena enters the battlefield or dies, put the top four cards of your library into your graveyard. At the beginning of your upkeep, you lose 1 life and draw one card.
Edit: Finally opened the 18 packs I won from SCG Oakland last year. I got Thassa, the R/W Temple and a foil Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx. The $15 entry fee paid for itself
Alright so the I have resurrected myself from the shadows. Several health, legal, and financial issues have kept me down and very far out. I hope it's not too late to save the clan and I am very sorry for my absence. Tell me what we need and I'll be there.

Just keep posting man. We haven't had new blood for awhile and the older members have real life things which keep us from posting everyday. Sorry to here about your problems. I hope everything turns out well for you.
legal "problems" were huge fight with my kids mother. I ended up getting custody. She was found to be safety concern. As far as health I have degenerative arthritis in both knees and no longer have the ability to move my left knee. On some stuff hopefully i get it moving again.
As far as magic I am starting my own casual stuff. Starting primarily as edh. I am building all the decks myself. kind of a large task but I can't work right now so i got time.
Prerelease turned out great. I opened a foil Erebos and went 3-1. Traded the u/w temple and a foil u/w temple for a Mogis. Traded Thassa for a godless shrine and two high priest of penance. Didn't check the value of godless shrine until after the fact, but I'm still happy.
So in other news, this is our last day on this board. The new one goes active on the 3rd. Personally, I might not love the new board, but it has some potential.
Also, since I have no clue where therestless is. On the new board, I am going to take over as Clan Rep.

BITTERBLOSSOM! Unbanned in modern! Tis a great day. I'm building Faeries now. I do love watching my Bitterlossoms jump up even farther in value.
The unbanning of Wild Nactal is a good one too. Gives a couple new decks a chance to play....and I do think they will fit nicely into the current Modern meta. Getting rid of Deathrite Shaman might have seemed too much, but it was popping up a lot. Sacrifices must be made for progress.
EDH bans Sylvan Primordial, which I felt was the right call. Why punish Deadeye Navigator, which was fair and fine until the Primordial was released.
I too am happy with that unbanning I only wish I had picked some up earlier. Oh well, though I'll be happy to play against faeries again hopefully.
Wild Nacatl is also a nice unban it will allow for zoo to be a thing again, which should diversify the aggro decks in the format.
I completely support the DRS ban. My problem with him was just how good he was. He was the ideal 1 drop that did everything and made graveyard decks very hard to play successfully. Hopefully his ban will diversify the format as well.

I disagree with this reasoning. A card being "good" should not be grounds for banning. If that were true, tarmogoyf, dark confidant or Liliana of the veil would have been banned years ago. Ban DRS if its warping the format, but don't do it because it's a good card. The thing about constructed is that there will always a handful of cards which are good.
Doods they let you change your nickname on here right off. Kinda getting tired of using feastofthedead all the time.
Anyway as far as banning and whatnot I Will continue to hope for the stoneforge/batterskull switch. With out skull or Jitte mystic is safe. I love the double unbanning something think we all wanted. The DRS ban is kinda stupid, but I get what they wanted. GBx has been a deck since the start and every time they try to nerf it they give it something just as good to replace it with. But...any creature that always dies to shock without being pumped should be considered fine, s long as it doesn't have a ridiculous ETB or LTB(looking at you VoR) I get the fact that it is good late game but it dies to removal(I know crappy line) and dose nothing if killed before they untap. Not an unbalanced 1 drop just slotted easily into a deck that is ridiculous. You guys wanna nerf BGx decks? Take gofy. See how they fair without their crack bear. Oh wait I forgot Wizards doesn't care about the secondary market except when a card gets too expensive to ban. they cut gofy and your looking at a lot of people leaving the game.
I haven't really been active latele due to having a lot of stuff to do, but I just foiled out my casual reanimator deck in new borders. Here is the list for reference:
About the Modern DRS ban, it did indeed warp the format and alongside of its oozy buddy it completely destroyed everything graveyard based. I an inclined to dust off my Vengevine deck now and actually try it out.

I'm not even sure that would do it at this point. I mean, look at Jund's card pool. GB is immensely powerful even without Goyf. If they wanted to hit something hard, it would have to be a big utility card, like Liliana or Bob. An attacker can be easily enough replaced.
Hello, and wecome to CMB. I like the list. Alot. Seems solid. I'll add you to the list. The way our system works is you need to acquire so many posts in the clan before you are a true member and get a title. Pretty much, you get to be a member and reap the benefits, but you have to be active to get a cool title.
I see in your sig you play Teysa EDH. You'll notice one thing here, and that is I am a massive EDH player. Out of curiosity, which one are you playing. I used to have an Orzhov Scion deck built, but now that my meta has changed and I have a lot of new players in a more mutiplayer format, I am working on a Envoy of Ghosts stax deck.
@feastofthedead Feast of Shadows: I'll change your name. I got to do some cleaning out of inactive members anyways.

Well Confidant is easy to deal with. The 1 toughness helps it. yes you untap with it its all advantage but how many times will they let you untap with it? With the ability to build Zoo again means they will probably use smiter to crackdown on lili. Might not push it out but it should hurt them. Goyf in standard isn't bad but is a format that feeds it so easy it's too much. But it costs too much $ for them to be willing to ban. Lightning Bolt is considered "too powerful" for most standards but it can't kill goyf on it's own when it's in lethal mode. Also DRS could have been a tool to hurt him but instead was used as his partner. Yes attackers can be easily found but what other 8/9 for G1 exists? nothing that big is as splashy as gofy.

Teysa is only there as a figure head, I rarely play her. The deck consist of BW clerics, which is my favorite creature type. I have a copy of every cleric ever printed. I have the infinite life combo plus drain life to kill off my opponents. I use clerics to prevent damage to me while the rest of the table is content on killing each other. I'm just waiting for a BW legendary cleric, I honestly don't care how crappy the card is, I just want one.
Aside from EDH, I play modern. The unbanning of Bitterblossom is fun, I'm thinking of adding it to my BW token deck. I did play Rock/Junk with DRS, hate to see that guy go but from the top down he was just too good. He was what I called a mini Planeswalker.
Oddly enough your not the first cleric lover we have here, and definitely not the first BW player. As for a bw legend, if you don't like teysa triad of fates may be a good upgrade and his abilities may actually be useful. Also which teysa? Orzhov scion and Envoy of ghosts are completely different in that Orzhov scion is actually useful.
Teysa, Orzhov Scion is what I am currently running. She can be useful at times. I'm just hoping Into the Nyx set will give me more clerics to play with. Born of the Gods only had 1 cleric and its blue, luckily someone pulled a foil version at the prerelease and I bought it for a dollar.
