[b]This how we roll...[/b] With the breaking of the guildpact, the death of our former leader, and the general chaos going on in our plane and others multiverse-wide, we seek to bring a new era to [House Dimir], by controlling the chaos. This very controlled chaos is exemplified in our leaderless clan. While the shadows are still our greatest ally, we now use them as a weapon, not as a hiding hole.
[b]Ruthless. Frightening. Efficient in all ways.
We are [House Dimir].
Recently, our clan has evolved into an all-encompassing network of cut-throats and assassins, all working in unison towards whatever goal is laid out before us. All of us together form a Hivemind that cannot be matched in strength or unity. Our ultimate goal, is to paint your world with contained shadows while assimilating you and everything you know into our clan.
As our Hivemind grows each and everyday, an authorative voice has been deemed needed. This voice will only be spoken when needed, and will be in the form of The Shadow Council.
The Shadow Council will always consist of three members to ensure no one person ever has singular control of our clan. The Shadow Council will only rule if a clear in-clan decision cannot be met. Mundane things as well as clan activities will always be done by those who wish to do it, regardless of membership length, post count, general sexiness, ect.
This is a fail-safe that has been initialized because of the frequent posting of our fast growing members list. We wish to continue to grow as a clan, and still be able to have our Hivemind function.
Welcome to [House Dimir] prepare yourself for the initial mindcrush.[/b]

[b]A little about me:[/b] I've been at my job for close to 5 years now as a Quality Assurance tester for a Lottery company... I love my job, but it means I will never gamble since I know inside and out that it's luck and nothing else :p. I've known my GF for over 10 years (we were high school friends) and we've been going out for over 6 months now. We are alike in a lot of ways and are amazing together, supporting each others crazy ideas and wild adventures. We both playing Magic right now, but where I only started a few months ago, she used to play a long time ago. While I don't have very good luck with boosters, she has amazing luck with Mythic cards (give her 3 boosters and 2 will have a Mythic or 1 Mythic and 1 good Foil Rare). I have my own house with a friend of mine (who also plays MTG (but plays WoW :crazy:) as a room-mate. One of my friends at work has helped my quite a bit with getting to understand MTG and some advanced concepts, as well as actually getting ideas and cards to use for my deck. All in all, I'm the casual newbie MTG player, what with liking a Mill deck (OMG,WTF,RITE?), but I'd rather play the game to have fun with my own creations or play a refined deck I enjoy rather than playing the "best" deck or one that I hate playing.

We at House Dimir are proud to say that we have formed the Triple alliance with the Izzet, Clan Bolas and Mono-Black clans!!!
We have also made the Alliance of Backstabbers with the [Family], and are proudly allied with the Merchants Guild.
If you want to become a member: 1. [B]You must have 30 or more posts[/B]. This is to keep new people from wanting to be in the clan and then leave the site. 2. [B]YOU MUST REMAIN AN ACTIVE MEMBER!!![/B] By "active" we mean normally discussing amongst ourselves in our threads. If you start to become inactive, we will be prodded. After several prods, your membership status will come under review by the clan. 3. Please post here at least 10 times before asking for a membership.You will be then given a probationary member status, and will be pmed when full membership has been earned.
Our beautiful header art was made by our very own MasterMarth. Thanks man, you rock!
I can't photoshop and/or not gonna start learning now.
Haven't catalouged them yet DCD, but I will make a clean sweep of the last ~80 posts and copy/paste them for my convience.
I'll be on my lappy tonight catching up with everything so I'll make rough drafts of what we have, so once we get photos and I just plop em in there.
Remember guys, we can put in some goofy stuff, but we need to keep it reasonable.
:looksatMarthsartifacts:
What?
If they are too unreasonable, Mind Crusher could have the extra Mill ability removed. MRI (lol) doesn't seem like too much of an issue... but we could always either increase the extra mana cost.
@Yanni: You mind toning the colors of our intro? Perhaps to match the previous thread's? If not, put your own spin on it.
Just change it please. It looks...'meh.' And it burns the retinas. X_x
Other than that, nice new thread!
As with regards to the contest...
Mindogoyf
BU
*/*+1
* is equal to the number of instants in all graveyards.
Mindcrush 2
Seems goofy. and too much of a 'homage' to an actually gofy.
May or may not see the set.
--------------------
Yanni the Provider 2UB
Legendary Creature - Human Hippie
Agile (You may use a ability the turn this creature enters the battlefield, but you may not attack with this creature on that turn) T: Target Player gains control of target permanent you control and loses 3 Life.
Any opponent that controls 5 or more permanent you own loses the game.
3/4
Agile seems like it could work, but I don't see how giving it 'ability haste' is Dimir flavored.
Also how making someone lose if he has your stuff doesn't make some sense either. beyond that, nice Legend though.
---------------------
Yanni's Will
2UB
Instant, Uncommon
You may put the top four cards of your library into the graveyard instead of paying for Yanni's Will.
Counter target spell.
I love it!
On a 2nd look though, it seems too too broken.
----------------
Digicool Reply
2UB
Instant, Uncommon
Put two 1/1 flying Thopter artifact creatures with Mindcrush into the battlefield.
If Digicool Reply was put into your graveyard from your library, you may pay three life and play it instead.
The alt cost seems cool. Can't put this on tooo many cards though.
I think it should cost 3UB. 2 1/1 flyers at instant speed? come now!
---------------------------------
Dominance of Dimir
1UB
Whenever you cast an instant or sorcery, you may draw a card.
This is doesn't seem good at all. Good broken. Yes. good design? No.
If we wanna make this work we should definitely switch it around.
----------------------
Purge the Ranks 1 U/B
Sorcery
Target player mills 5
Think Ahead- You may mill 3 as this spell is being cast. If you do, copy this spell, you may select new targets for the spell. Use this ability only once.
I'll keep think ahead in mind. Interesting mill at common.
------------------------
Memory Reclamation Instrument 5UB
Whenever an artifact or creature card is put into the graveyard from your library with a converted mana cost 2 or lower, you may sacrifice a permanent and pay to put that card directly on the battlefield.
Whenever an artifact or creature card is put into the graveyard from your library with a converted mana cost 6 or higher, you may sacrifice three permanents and pay to put that card directly on the battlefield.
What is forgotten can be remembered... for a price.
This looks...kinda awesome actually. Goofy enough. CHECK!
--------------------
Mind Crusher 3UB
Legendary Artifact
At the beginning of the end step, if six or more cards were put into an opponent's graveyard from the library this turn you may draw a card and put a card from your graveyard into your hand.
: Target player puts the top 3 cards of their library into the graveyard.
"I honestly expected something... bigger."
Wording needs some tweaks. VERY powerful effect. Needs nerfing if we're gonna use it.
But I don't think we should have this AND the one previous. One or the other (so far).
-----------------------------
Master Marth, Mind Mage 4UB
Legendary Creature - Human Wizard
Mindcrush
Whenever a card would be put into an opponent's graveyard from their library, exile that card instead. UB: Shuffle Master Marth, Mind Mage and your graveyard into their owner's library.
2/6
Seems awesome!
-----------------------
Memory Titan 4U/U/
Creature - Giant
Mindcrush
Whenever Memory Titan enters the battlefield or attacks, exile the top 3 card of each opponent's library.
6/6
It hungers for the memories of others because it lacks memories of its own.
nice. We can have a "big generic creature" of our own.
Would rather it NOT be an exact copy of the titan cycle though...
---------------------------
Mind Adept 1:symub::symub:
Creature - Human Wizard
Mindcrush
Other creatures you control with Mindcrush get +1/+1.
: Target creature gains Mindcrush until the end of turn.
2/2
Rare I hope? Like it pushing a tribal theme, but do we need it for our FTV?
I'd like a flavorful deck as oppose to a tribal deck. Just saying.
---------------------------
Overall Thoughts: I think we should include only one new keyword in our cards.
I like Mindcrush as is. We can keyword it on French Vanilla creatures and just shorthand it on wordier cards.
I like Marth's "mill X instead of paying its cost." Can we reword that instead of keywording it? Like on "Yanni's Will"?
Overall, I think we shouldl just stick with "milling X as an alternate cost" or you could make it like convoke and mill X to reduce the cost. idk...just Brainstorming.
And I think we should make a Mindcrush our keyword. We can even reprint Szadek with our new wording! maybe...
Also! Another reminder that not EVERY card needs to be new, rare/mythic, or have a keyword.
We can't full the whole deck (I guess we coooould) with awesome cards!
Then again, I might be looking at this deck as a playable deck as oppose to "see what cool cards we made" type of thing.
Just let me know if it's the latter and I"ll hush up.
Also Also! I put my thoughts on the cards so far. I have tweaked them myself cuz they aren't my babies.
You guys tweak the ones you did (if you think you need to), then I'll jump down on em.
Also also also! if you're gonna put your cards in spoiler tags, put the whole thing in there. :looksatMarthscardsagain!:
Makes it easier for me!
Yanni's Will rewording
4UU
You may put the top 8 cards of your library into the graveyard instead of paying Yanni's Will's manacost.
Counter Target Spell
I'm messing around with different colors and fonts, tell me what you think
So I propose we elect new Shadow Council members, everyone cool with this?
infact, we should do it every new thread.
Agile seems like it could work, but I don't see how giving it 'ability haste' is Dimir flavored.
Also how making someone lose if he has your stuff doesn't make some sense either. beyond that, nice Legend though.
We are all assassins, so things that have tap: kill something should have agile.
the legend was obviously intended for feicious reasons, and if you PM me I'll tell you the rest of the joke behind it.

Might 3UU be a nicer cost?
I do like top 8 as a great alt cost. I'll add it to the list.
Grey and black are pretty good. Light, LIGHT blue might grow on me.
That green/teal/cyan is pretty goofy though.
Too many light colored fonts if you ask me.
I'm fine with new elects. Seems that they are just titles, but whatev.
Thought up my legend card and a bonker equip that I don't think we can run.
Can't run a deck with 20+ rares.
Spellshaper 2
Artifact - Equipment R
Equipped creature has hexproof and has T: Flip a coin.
If it comes up heads, you may choose new targets for target spell. If
it comes up tails, copy target instant or sorcery spell. You may choose
new targets for the copy.
Equip 2
-------------------------
Aquajolt, ~ 1UB
Legendary Creature - Human Wizard
Flash
When Aquajolt, ~ ETB, each player puts the top 5 cards into his or her graveyard.
:sympu::sympb:: Exile target card from a graveyard. Until end of turn, you may cast instant
and/or sorcery cards exiled by Aquajolt, ~ without paying their mana costs.
1/2
Can't think of a cool title for my card. x_x
Also let me know what you guys think of mine!

I thought we could throw Dark Confidant in our deck, so I felt that Yanni's will was OP as a 5 drop.
that equipment feels uncommon if you ask me

@Yanni, please quote my thread header, and copy and paste the contents over the straight copy pastad pieces.
The black and navy are our colors, and that blue does not do it for me. I don't mind you doing what you wanna do, it it'll look better with the quote copy pasta and you changing the colors around with that.
Also, you were supposed to link this thread in your last post of the old thread, (I even reminded you...)
Also, please wait until you have received the header art berore you make the new thread. Our header is naked. At the very least, please continue to use the other one until Marth is done.

I'd use your formattting, but with the thread being locked I can't quote it.

ooo! DC would be nuts, but again. I don't think we can just stuff 20 rares into a deck.
unless we just switch it to a mini-set or like 100 cards or something. that would be ALOOOOT of images we'd need though.
you think that equipment is alright at uncommon? It's wordy enough for a rare.
lol. Our thread title and 1st post is in such disarray...
quite unbefitting of the secret guild that has its **** straight.

It feels too powerful for common, powerful at uncommon, but not powerful enough at rare.
I've had a stressful day, I'll work on the first post business tomorrow sometime when I'm not so blah.
does anyone know how to center stuff using edits? right now I have whitespace written in white color'd text.

Focus, people. We need images with these cards.
We need a great flow.
I'll draw the thing for Yanni's Will and Millogoyf tomorrow or later tonight.
Monster eating magic cards, lulz.
Does this look like a good breakdown for our Premium Deck?
26 Lands (control mana base)
16 Creatures (11 Legends, 2 Millogoyf, 3 open slots
12 Instants (2 Yanni's Will, 4 Digi's Reply, 4 Brainstorm, 2 open slots)
4 Sorciers (4 open slots, probably 1x Damnation
2 Enchantments (Dimir thing that Digi made)

I believe we should use all made up cards at this point. Also, as I've said several times now, not everyone's reflected card should be a legendary creature. Inactives, for example.
@Yanni, perhaps 24 lands with 2-3 being non-basic.
I doubt we'll get a legend from everyone, but that might be good in the long run. We'll be able to make/reprint more cards.
and I don't think we need 4 ofs in the deck. But if that's all the cards we have we'll have to make do with what we got.
Looks good though.

I think the first thing when you design a card, we should first have a pic found or uploaded before we post the text.
24 sounds good.
I'm going to draw the art for my cards.

Woot for new thread. Sorry I've been MIA again, school starting means busy. Took down a 2hg fnm with a friend of mine last weekend, was pretty awesome. Crossing my fingers that I see a ban on Mental Misstep in Legacy next Tuesday; if not I'll just have to draft Innistrad in INdy next month.

[b]This how we roll...[/b]
With the breaking of the guildpact, the death of our former leader, and the general chaos going on in our plane and others multiverse-wide, we seek to bring a new era to [House Dimir], by controlling the chaos. This very controlled chaos is exemplified in our leaderless clan. While the shadows are still our greatest ally, we now use them as a weapon, not as a hiding hole.
[b]Ruthless. Frightening. Efficient in all ways.
We are [House Dimir].
Recently, our clan has evolved into an all-encompassing network of cut-throats and assassins, all working in unison towards whatever goal is laid out before us. All of us together form a Hivemind that cannot be matched in strength or unity. Our ultimate goal, is to paint your world with contained shadows while assimilating you and everything you know into our clan.
As our Hivemind grows each and everyday, an authorative voice has been deemed needed. This voice will only be spoken when needed, and will be in the form of The Shadow Council.
The Shadow Council will always consist of three members to ensure no one person ever has singular control of our clan. The Shadow Council will only rule if a clear in-clan decision cannot be met. Mundane things as well as clan activities will always be done by those who wish to do it, regardless of membership length, post count, general sexiness, ect.
This is a fail-safe that has been initialized because of the frequent posting of our fast growing members list. We wish to continue to grow as a clan, and still be able to have our Hivemind function.

We are alike in a lot of ways and are amazing together, supporting each others crazy ideas and wild adventures. We both playing Magic right now, but where I only started a few months ago, she used to play a long time ago. While I don't have very good luck with boosters, she has amazing luck with Mythic cards (give her 3 boosters and 2 will have a Mythic or 1 Mythic and 1 good Foil Rare). I have my own house with a friend of mine (who also plays MTG (but plays WoW :crazy:) as a room-mate. One of my friends at work has helped my quite a bit with getting to understand MTG and some advanced concepts, as well as actually getting ideas and cards to use for my deck. All in all, I'm the casual newbie MTG player, what with liking a Mill deck (OMG,WTF,RITE?), but I'd rather play the game to have fun with my own creations or play a refined deck I enjoy rather than playing the "best" deck or one that I hate playing.

As I said, I'll shop them.
For the mana symbol itself, just use Phyrexian Mana and I'll shop the replacement symbol in.
As for the rest, it'll either be keywords or reminder text (if we place reminder text on the cards).
It shouldn't be too bad I think...
What?
If they are too unreasonable, Mind Crusher could have the extra Mill ability removed. MRI (lol) doesn't seem like too much of an issue... but we could always either increase the extra mana cost.

@Yanni: You mind toning the colors of our intro? Perhaps to match the previous thread's? If not, put your own spin on it.
Just change it please. It looks...'meh.' And it burns the retinas. X_x
Other than that, nice new thread!
As with regards to the contest...
BU
*/*+1
* is equal to the number of instants in all graveyards.
Mindcrush 2
Seems goofy. and too much of a 'homage' to an actually gofy.
May or may not see the set.
--------------------
Yanni the Provider 2UB
Legendary Creature - Human Hippie
Agile (You may use a ability the turn this creature enters the battlefield, but you may not attack with this creature on that turn)
T: Target Player gains control of target permanent you control and loses 3 Life.
Any opponent that controls 5 or more permanent you own loses the game.
3/4
Agile seems like it could work, but I don't see how giving it 'ability haste' is Dimir flavored.
Also how making someone lose if he has your stuff doesn't make some sense either. beyond that, nice Legend though.
---------------------
Yanni's Will
2UB
Instant, Uncommon
You may put the top four cards of your library into the graveyard instead of paying for Yanni's Will.
Counter target spell.
I love it!
On a 2nd look though, it seems too too broken.
----------------
Digicool Reply
2UB
Instant, Uncommon
Put two 1/1 flying Thopter artifact creatures with Mindcrush into the battlefield.
If Digicool Reply was put into your graveyard from your library, you may pay three life and play it instead.
The alt cost seems cool. Can't put this on tooo many cards though.
I think it should cost 3UB. 2 1/1 flyers at instant speed? come now!
---------------------------------
Dominance of Dimir
1UB
Whenever you cast an instant or sorcery, you may draw a card.
This is doesn't seem good at all. Good broken. Yes. good design? No.
If we wanna make this work we should definitely switch it around.
----------------------
Purge the Ranks 1 U/B
Sorcery
Target player mills 5
Think Ahead- You may mill 3 as this spell is being cast. If you do, copy this spell, you may select new targets for the spell. Use this ability only once.
I'll keep think ahead in mind. Interesting mill at common.
------------------------
Memory Reclamation Instrument 5UB
Whenever an artifact or creature card is put into the graveyard from your library with a converted mana cost 2 or lower, you may sacrifice a permanent and pay to put that card directly on the battlefield.
Whenever an artifact or creature card is put into the graveyard from your library with a converted mana cost 6 or higher, you may sacrifice three permanents and pay to put that card directly on the battlefield.
What is forgotten can be remembered... for a price.
This looks...kinda awesome actually. Goofy enough. CHECK!
--------------------
Mind Crusher 3UB
Legendary Artifact
At the beginning of the end step, if six or more cards were put into an opponent's graveyard from the library this turn you may draw a card and put a card from your graveyard into your hand.
: Target player puts the top 3 cards of their library into the graveyard.
"I honestly expected something... bigger."
Wording needs some tweaks. VERY powerful effect. Needs nerfing if we're gonna use it.
But I don't think we should have this AND the one previous. One or the other (so far).
-----------------------------
Master Marth, Mind Mage 4UB
Legendary Creature - Human Wizard
Mindcrush
Whenever a card would be put into an opponent's graveyard from their library, exile that card instead.
UB: Shuffle Master Marth, Mind Mage and your graveyard into their owner's library.
2/6
Seems awesome!
-----------------------
Memory Titan 4U/U/
Creature - Giant
Mindcrush
Whenever Memory Titan enters the battlefield or attacks, exile the top 3 card of each opponent's library.
6/6
It hungers for the memories of others because it lacks memories of its own.
nice. We can have a "big generic creature" of our own.
Would rather it NOT be an exact copy of the titan cycle though...
---------------------------
Mind Adept 1:symub::symub:
Creature - Human Wizard
Mindcrush
Other creatures you control with Mindcrush get +1/+1.
: Target creature gains Mindcrush until the end of turn.
2/2
Rare I hope? Like it pushing a tribal theme, but do we need it for our FTV?
I'd like a flavorful deck as oppose to a tribal deck. Just saying.
---------------------------
Overall Thoughts: I think we should include only one new keyword in our cards.
I like Mindcrush as is. We can keyword it on French Vanilla creatures and just shorthand it on wordier cards.
I like Marth's "mill X instead of paying its cost." Can we reword that instead of keywording it? Like on "Yanni's Will"?
Overall, I think we shouldl just stick with "milling X as an alternate cost" or you could make it like convoke and mill X to reduce the cost. idk...just Brainstorming.
And I think we should make a Mindcrush our keyword. We can even reprint Szadek with our new wording! maybe...
Also! Another reminder that not EVERY card needs to be new, rare/mythic, or have a keyword.
We can't full the whole deck (I guess we coooould) with awesome cards!
Then again, I might be looking at this deck as a playable deck as oppose to "see what cool cards we made" type of thing.
Just let me know if it's the latter and I"ll hush up.
Also Also! I put my thoughts on the cards so far. I have tweaked them myself cuz they aren't my babies.
You guys tweak the ones you did (if you think you need to), then I'll jump down on em.
Makes it easier for me!

You may put the top 8 cards of your library into the graveyard instead of paying Yanni's Will's manacost.
Counter Target Spell
I'm messing around with different colors and fonts, tell me what you think
So I propose we elect new Shadow Council members, everyone cool with this?
infact, we should do it every new thread.
We are all assassins, so things that have tap: kill something should have agile.
the legend was obviously intended for feicious reasons, and if you PM me I'll tell you the rest of the joke behind it.

Might 3UU be a nicer cost?
I do like top 8 as a great alt cost. I'll add it to the list.
Grey and black are pretty good. Light, LIGHT blue might grow on me.
That green/teal/cyan is pretty goofy though.
Too many light colored fonts if you ask me.
I'm fine with new elects. Seems that they are just titles, but whatev.
Thought up my legend card and a bonker equip that I don't think we can run.
Can't run a deck with 20+ rares.
Spellshaper 2
Artifact - Equipment R
Equipped creature has hexproof and has T: Flip a coin.
If it comes up heads, you may choose new targets for target spell. If
it comes up tails, copy target instant or sorcery spell. You may choose
new targets for the copy.

Aquajolt, ~ 1UB

When Aquajolt, ~ ETB, each player puts the top 5 cards into his or her graveyard.

and/or sorcery cards exiled by Aquajolt, ~ without paying their mana costs.

you're so hard to please.
I thought we could throw Dark Confidant in our deck, so I felt that Yanni's will was OP as a 5 drop.
that equipment feels uncommon if you ask me

The black and navy are our colors, and that blue does not do it for me. I don't mind you doing what you wanna do, it it'll look better with the quote copy pasta and you changing the colors around with that.
Also, you were supposed to link this thread in your last post of the old thread, (I even reminded you...)
Also, please wait until you have received the header art berore you make the new thread. Our header is naked. At the very least, please continue to use the other one until Marth is done.
New thread, huzzah!

quite unbefitting of the secret guild that has its **** straight.
ooo! DC would be nuts, but again. I don't think we can just stuff 20 rares into a deck.
unless we just switch it to a mini-set or like 100 cards or something. that would be ALOOOOT of images we'd need though.
you think that equipment is alright at uncommon? It's wordy enough for a rare.

It feels too powerful for common, powerful at uncommon, but not powerful enough at rare.
I've had a stressful day, I'll work on the first post business tomorrow sometime when I'm not so blah.
does anyone know how to center stuff using edits? right now I have whitespace written in white color'd text.

We don't have time for a 100 card set.
Focus, people. We need images with these cards.
We need a great flow.

I'll draw the thing for Yanni's Will and Millogoyf tomorrow or later tonight.
Monster eating magic cards, lulz.
Does this look like a good breakdown for our Premium Deck?
26 Lands (control mana base)
16 Creatures (11 Legends, 2 Millogoyf, 3 open slots
12 Instants (2 Yanni's Will, 4 Digi's Reply, 4 Brainstorm, 2 open slots)
4 Sorciers (4 open slots, probably 1x Damnation
2 Enchantments (Dimir thing that Digi made)

I believe we should use all made up cards at this point. Also, as I've said several times now, not everyone's reflected card should be a legendary creature. Inactives, for example.
Putting the sexy in Science Fiction!
gamertag: filthychocolate
I doubt we'll get a legend from everyone, but that might be good in the long run. We'll be able to make/reprint more cards.
and I don't think we need 4 ofs in the deck. But if that's all the cards we have we'll have to make do with what we got.
Looks good though.
I think the first thing when you design a card, we should first have a pic found or uploaded before we post the text.

Woot for new thread. Sorry I've been MIA again, school starting means busy. Took down a 2hg fnm with a friend of mine last weekend, was pretty awesome. Crossing my fingers that I see a ban on Mental Misstep in Legacy next Tuesday; if not I'll just have to draft Innistrad in INdy next month.

Dimir-Clone (needs a real name) 3UB
