@Acolytes getting promoted: I'm always up for it. Might not always be on all the time, but I get email updates, which I read, and I check in when I'm interested. Though I'm unsure of how the promotion system works in this case. A brief rundown would be greatly appreciated.
I'm not really sure if you can vote for yourself(meaning I never have and never will), and i'm pretty sure every Acolyte here is "up for it", including myself.
That being said, Vote: Claytonthegreat and Lucknorris for High Mage, because they're the Acolytes who joined shortly after I did. Vote: Skizzik_NZ and Zajnet for Acolyte because me and Skizzik share similar tastes in music, and Zajnet's got seniority over Arsenalfan and Zazi, and more in-thread post than Arew.
I'm not really sure if you can vote for yourself(meaning I never have and never will), and i'm pretty sure every Acolyte here is "up for it", including myself.
I was just meaning that I'm completely fine with being promoted. I'm voting for Arew and Zazi because I like their names. Take that as you will, but I like them most of the current Apprentices. I'm abstaining from voting for Acolytes.
EDIT: I've been tossing deck ideas around, and looking at Precursor Golem I realized he has a built in Ancestral Recall (self targeted) with Twisted Image and a half-price, instant-speed Harmonize in Tel-Jilad Defiance. So I'm designing a deck around it (Standard), and was wondering if any of you guys had any thoughts. I was thinking UG, but I'm open to suggestions.
I've been trying to get on here more as of lately, and Am sad to see that members are drifting to the erratic portal but it happens at times. So on that note I will abstain for voting on a high mage position but I will happily put my nominations for zazirik and arew for the acolyte positions.
on another note
*cracks a whip out*
I don't believe I've got to play with the test subjects as of lately.
I thought it was common knowledge that top 16 at a 5k = $100. So after all my fees, I profited about $50 on the weekend.
As for promoting people and making a new thread, it would be a lot easier if those were to occur simultaneously. I definitely agree the the name is extremely dated.
All of the currently listed test subjects are due to become apprentices, and it appears the Neon__Lights and Clem are headed to the Erratic Portal. This mean we will need to promote TWO of our Acolytes to High Mages and TWO of our Apprentices to Acolytes. Everyone at the positions in question is nominated and everyone in the clan gets two votes for each election, including our soon-to-be Apprentices.
Once that's taken care of (Tentative end date is Sunday.) we can decide on the title for our next thread. Save your ideas for then as it will be hard enough to sort through if we start posting them now.
Not a bad weekend at all, a little profit, some good gaming, seems good to me.
The knowledge may be common to players who play in major tournaments, but the FNM type players might not always know how much you can win at a 5k.
Happy belated to all I missed(Including my original High Mage)
I'm very sorry I've been mildly inactive as of late, crazy hours at work, plus having to use town wifi can be a pain, but I'm still here.
And as always, been playing a lot of legacy as of late, and started getting my fiance into vintage.
I built her a UR counterburn, which was just silly as she took down a 10 proxy vintage event here in town with it.
A word to the wise, don't come to a Vintage tourney, no matter how unsanctioned it may be or how casual, with Jund and faeries. (even if you have old duals in the deck)
Hi everyone. I apologize for not posting much :embarrass:, but a combination of being very sick and not being interested much in Magic (even limited as Scars looks meh to me) I haven't been around that much. But since I have recovered from my illness and I am somewhat interested in getting some new cards for my cube, I should be around a lot more often.
As for voting, I haven't been around that much to put forth a proper vote and I appreciate all those that have voted for me, but I don't deserve it at all and should have been sent to the erratic portal a month ago since this is my first post here (and MTGS in general) in almost two months :P.
@Zazi: I didn't bother to check on you, so I guess you're lucky on that count. Either way I'm still going to count the votes for you (Name recognition ftw!) unless those who voted for you want to change their minds consider you don't want to win...
@Russian Alara: Welcome! I was worried we would be without a test subject...

My timing is awesome.
I just thought I'd stop by to see how things were going in the Izzet since I left and say hi.
As The Izzet discuss their wonderful topics in their wonderful Steam Mazes, a dark storm descends over Ravnica. A foul stench flows through the streets, and all sources of White and Green mana dry up and die. As life drains away from the land, a terrible figure descends from the depths of this terrible storm, dark wings carrying him to the forsaken ground. He sets foot upon the earth, ascending the stairs that lead into the depths of the Izzet's metallic maze. He raises his gloved hand, curling the fingers into a fist. As the dark storm reaches its crescendo, he swings his arm back, then knocks politely on the door. As it swings open, the members of the Izzet League face the terrifying storm outside, and the stranger pulls back his hood, and says:
Hi! I'm 22bebo, leader of Clan Bolas! And I'm here to request friendship! Oh, what's that? Oh, the whole storm, yeah. Grixis does that when you leave . . . I think it goes away, I'm honestly used to it by now . . . Might want to change where your front door is, though . . .

I think the door is fine where it is, storms really help set the mood when we start animating weirds.
@Clem: I might be going to states if I can find a ride, but otherwise i'd rather stay at home watching anime. I still need to get some Jaces if I do go, they're all i'm missing for a good U/W list.

I agree on the door issue but I think Clan Bolas has already broken the door lol. I am interested in seeing your U/W list to be honest also.
Huh, if you're cool with the door, whatever. So, how do I become a friend, or do I just kind of pop up and start posting?
On the note of decks, I own no Jaces. Luckily for me, I want to play mono-black control in standard, so I don't need them. Although Blue-Black control would be very fun . . . Blue-White also seems fun.
EDIT: Wait, Clem, where is Barbourville located? I too live in the great state of Cantuckee.
It seems that Clem and Zazi are back! How are you guys doing?
I'm doing good atm now that I am over my illness :). Got to go to the card shop tonight for the first time since June and was able to get all the cards from the last two sets for my Cube I needed. How are you?
@Zazi: I didn't bother to check on you, so I guess you're lucky on that count. Either way I'm still going to count the votes for you (Name recognition ftw!) unless those who voted for you want to change their minds consider you don't want to win...

Do you have a link to your Cube somewhere? I'd love to see what you have in it.
