He was in fact discussing this issue with the staff all the way until his suspension. All that he was asking for was a justified reason to remove the image.
are you suprised? Usually when a Mod narrows his sights on you, you lose...
I love cube, and my friend at the LGS I go to has one of the sexiest cubes ever, like everything if foil goodness. I also love EDH, Zazi do you have an EDH deck?
I'm trying to completely foil/promo/smexy out my Cube too :grin3:. It's actually kinda a fun goal.
Yeah, I have an EDH deck although I haven't updated it in a while since EDH kinda died out here :(. I can post a list if you want...it's Intet for 1vs1.
I'm not surprised at all. Disobeying a mod's request is not a good idea.
Agreed. After what happened with Archon Kamigawa, I was asked to change my sig. I disagreed with the reasoning for the request but followed through anyway because I could see the other point of view.
At any rate, Ravus isn't one to take that kind of thing sitting down; I think he's proud to have taken the suspension instead of bowing to what I'm sure he considers arbitrary guidelines.
I won FNM with Naya Allies. I didn't think it was a real deck, but only getting paired against one control deck helps. Round 1: Jund; 2-0. (This matchup is a bye.) Round 2:WBR Aggro-Control; 0-2. (Baneslayer Angel is hard to beat.) Round 3: Janky Mythic; 2-0. (Lorescale Coatl? Interesting...) Round 4: Kurtis playing a WB Disruption list similar to the one he T8'd Midwest Masters with; 2-1. (The sickest topdecks G3 FTW; Oblivion Ring for Elspeth, Knight-Errant on 9 loyalty, Ranger of Eos to break open a stalled board, and Bloodbraid Elf for the epic finish.) Round 5: ID with Sovereign Mythic. Top 8 Round 1: Grixis Control; 2-1. (He won the middle game because Consuming Vapors is ridiculous. Games one and two weren't close.) Top 8 Round 2:Rafiq Mythic; 2-1. (Baneslayer Angel, Gideon Jura, and Elspeth, Knight-Errant are no match for superspecialawesome topdecks; games one and two were blowouts, but game three was a nail-biter.) Top 8 Round 3: White Weenie; 2-0. (My opponent didn't take the draw and I crushed him; it turns out that when you first four plays are Hada Freeblade, Oran-Rief Survivalist, Kabira Evangel, and Talus Paladin, your opponent loses.)
I won $30 in store credit and kicked $15 back to the guys who lent me cards.
At any rate, Ravus isn't one to take that kind of thing sitting down; I think he's proud to have taken the suspension instead of bowing to what I'm sure he considers arbitrary guidelines.
I don't really blame him, to me it seems like the mods request was unjustified and completely unnecessary to begin with.
Game day is next week, thinking about taking Time Sieve or RDW, building Polymorph, but won't have any Jace 2.0's for awhile, so I doubt that would do as well. Hardest thing about picking though, is I'm not sure if the meta is leaning towards straight up aggro, which would mean I'm taking RDW, or Mid-Range to control which would probably take Time Sieve.

Good luck to all who are going to Game Day next week. I would love to be one of you but my work schedule doesn't allow for it. I might not be the best source for advice but I suggest taking RDW. But this advice also comes from a RDW playing fool.

What exactly was on your old siggy that was asked to be changed anyway?
No, Geopede is awful, I was agreeing with you. I took them out of my list for Blightning since I'm playing the black splash now.
No problem, glad I could help.
Too bad it was only a warning than.
Wow, somebody who actually agrees with my thoughts on geopede.... This is a first.
Back when I used to play RDW i took him out for earthquake. I <3 that card so much, it can do the few points of damage to win you the game or it can wipe all the creatures off of Jund's board.
The Izzet is going with Uncle Istavan. Just reading the flavor text was more than enough evidence that some psycho with an axe that went insane simply because he was alone is grounds for seeing him off the island.
Commiserations to The [Greek Alliance], it would be great if you could still contribute to the voting from here on so that you can have unholy screaming vengeance an impact on the rest of the game.
Round Two - A brief switch to another game...
Survivor Mafia Day 2 - As Istvan is hauled off the island by the lynch mob (seems harsh, I know), his wallet falls from his crazy-man-swag. He was Istvan - Townie Hobo.
The remaining townsfolk eye each other suspiciously - The scum have won this first day, don't let it happen again...
With 10 alive, it takes 6 to lynch. Or however many we've got. Whatever.
Day 2 will end four days from this post's timestamp.
Options: Gifts Ungiven for being the master of WIFOM, Liliana Vess for being obvscum, or Elves of Deep Shadow for being the godfather type. I'm leaning towards one of the first two on this one. Seems like [The Family] really got screwed this round.

Not necessarily - [Family] doesn't strictly imply scum. Besides, there's a reason I haven't listed the clans next to the cards for this round - Decisions should be based on the card, not the clan that it's attached to. As with all rounds in this game.

Mafia players who employ WIFOM (as exemplified by Gifts Ungiven) in lieu of logic and evidence are generally scum. The card wasn't chosen at random; [The Family] specifically chose it because it fits so well with the concept of WIFOM. It's just unfortunate for them that this round punishes such a clever card choice. I'm assigning no blame for this circumstance; I'm just describing the situation as I see it.
Because Liliana Vess is sort of an anti-heroine (read: not strictly evil), I'm starting to lean in favor of voting Gifts Ungiven off the island.
Hello, Tribal Council. Look at that zombie, now back to the Izzet, now back at that zombie, now back to the Izzet. Sadly, he isn't Izzet, but if he got the hell of this island, it would please the Izzet. Look down, back up, where are you? You're on a boat, with the Izzet that aren't a zombie. What's in your hand? Back at me, I have it. It's an oyster, with two votes to kick the zombie off the island. Look again. The tickets are now diamonds. Anything is possible when the zombies get off the island, I'm on a horse.

That card is trrbl. Not having haste makes it the worst
creaturecard in the deck easily.I was expecting a rick roll. It was something equally stupid.
Anyone go the Nat's Qualifiers today? I was going to, but tornado warnings suck.
The Izzet
Sarcasm detected?
thanks.
I go there for the tornado's.

Based on the results of some night actions, I am forced to believe that there may be some major Bastard-Moddery going on.

I had to do it in MS paint...
I'll be saying this again since the 3 times I've said it before nobody has responded, but those were in times of a clan contest:
ANYBODY WANT TO DO MY AVATAR/SIGNATURE PIC?!?
I'll give up if nobody responds now, but I thought I'd give my clannies another chance.
