I will continue the trend of extending my congratulations DF.
@ratfinkp: I'll give you some advice on getting promoted in the future.
1. Be identifiable. Your username is a little too long for us to refer to you by it casually, so you need a nickname. Also put your distinguishing features on display, i.e. ilvaldi's ridiculously long posts arguing a point with backup.
2. Post more. In generally, this will lead to the first condition being satisfied.
Acolyte openings don't take too long to come around, so just be around for the time being.

I would just like to point out that this isn't necessarily true. My name is eight letters long, I am identifiable (a least I think I am). And I've never had a nickname (outside of Wuffles calling me doggy).
Even though we're typing what we say, syllables dictate how long we perceive a word to be. Cutting off the -p to call you ratfink instead makes such a difference.

My fiance doesn't like the boys name I had picked out (which was Aaron Demitri) the girls name I believe he's still okay with but even if that changes soon I'll be okay with it. (Which is Angelica Rose)
So, we'll see.

why am i being ignored on my post i fell just like petsnake
You're not ignored. The conversations here (and in many clans) can (and do) shift so radically and often that half of the **** posted by much anyone go unnoticed (moreso if you're Ilvaldi :p).
Your thoughts are considered when relevant, noteworthy, or whatever; much like anyone else.
Edit: Actually--and I don't mean to push you away--the Dimir are dying out, and need a few members. If you really feel like you would be better off leaving--again, I'm not pushing, just making note of current events--the Dimir are just as AI-, Psi- and Ravus-filled as the Izzet, a lot of the time.
I'm not trying to force you away, I'm glad you picked the Izzet, but the Triple Alliance is otherwise falling apart (which is why you're here, actually, Mr. Rakdos :isthatso:). Food for thought (for the entire clan, really).

Some of us already do. But really, ratfink isn't too long, either. Just leave out the "P", which confuses me as to its relevance in the first place...

Okay guys, we need to choose a new thread name and make a new thread for us since its that time :-).
I'll ponder the next few hours I'm here, and spout anything that comes to mind.

Eh, **** happens. We've all got things to deal with, and accordingly take "breaks" from here every now and again (hell, DF is pregnant, she'll be in and out like... well... AI with Psi... :uhh:).

I most certainly do not support that title. I am not, never have been, and never will be a fan of the "Izzet sounds like 'is it' puns". But then, I've never really been a fan of much any punnery.
I think since this is a special time, we should go with something along the lines of...
[The Izzet]: The Last Guild-Clan (and Reigning CotY).
... only worded a bit more eloquently (and perhaps accurately). Basically, just denoting the Triple Alliance, our status of final guild, or something of that general prestigious manner.

You changed your location to Japan, Guard-san. * AsianInvasion is jealous...
That seems appropriate, given our thread's title during the first of the month...
For some reason, I really want a title that mentions metamagic...mostly because it's an awesome word.

I recommend BW Tokens, which has a decent matchup against both of those decks :).
i was going to try a homebrew mix of bw tokens, rw lark and blightning if i can make a list shortly then i'll post it but i think that the homebrew might be shightly better against kithkin and that's what i'm really worried about (better players playing that then the rw vengeantlark) so i think for now i'll make a list of the deck i'm thinking of then post it and you guys can tell me what would be better in my meta
now the main deck isn't meant to beat just kithkin and rw vengeantlark it's meant to beat some of the other decks that appear like some bant control, some esper control, some random deck, etc. etc.
Congrats.
And I have a few name ideas in mind.

I would play Knight of the White Orchid instead of Figure of Destiny. It happens to be excellent with Path to Exile.
As for your mana base, I'd run some Rugged Prairies and some Fetid Heaths, but no Graven Cairns, since you want to be able to cast Spectral Procession on turn three every game. Add some painlands and some basics and you're all set.
on your comment about the knight of the white orchid i think i will play him over figure of destiny
also as in overall deck what do you think of it
also what do you think will be better in the my meta this or bw tokens
