That sounds strangely like Wisconsin. Only difference, we'd probably get 8-12 inches, go to school, then have school canceled the next day due to cold.
Yet another Izzet(-friend) to live in Wisconsin? For ****'s sake, The Izzet is simply an Upper-Midwest clan, with some wannabe's like Weaver and wamyc. Perhaps during Weaver's and my fight the GP, we should all get together and play some Magic and fight.
At all the talk of Legacy (and a little talk of Vintage...) being a bad format, I not-so-kindly disagree. Legacy is awesome, although, the only reason I prefer it to Vintage is the simple fact that I don't want to bother with the Power Nine (and the rest of the Restricted list). I've gotta have me some Ponders (and Brainstorms! :thumbsup:).
Edit: Psi, you treacherous bandit! You stole the hundredth post!
Change your votes as desired. Votes will be tallied in final form on friday, time of my choosing. If you want to be sure, make your decisions known by the end of thursday, EST.
EXTRA EDIT: Re-read rules and redid voting guidelines. Vote for one extended-legal card for survivor and another for the stragglers in contest 2. The one with the most votes wins. I break ties.

Wannabe? Pick up your weapon Ravus, Ill end this asap.
Your reason for playing Legacy is pretty much why I play it to.
4x Brainstorm > 1x Brainstorm
With that being said, Vintage is still a great format
I'll vote for Cloud Key for survivor, and Cerebral Vortex for the stragglers.
Uh... this may be my complete lack of attention to apprentices (just ask pet snake, :rolleyes:), but I don't recall your joining the Izzet... In case I missed it, here's a cookie: (:confused:)

I've been thinking about it. I don't really know why I haven't joined yet. I was thinking about looking into some other clan threads, before making a decision(I was thinking of two others).
Though after checking the other clans out, I think this clan is the one for me. I'll sign up to be Rocker05's apprentice.
Finally I get an apprentice. Now bring me donuts and a Boggart testee. (AKA, Welcome :D)
Also, I played a multi-player game of MtG today. Six people. One guy has a burn deck, one had a lifelink deck, the other had a ping deck, one had beasts and the other haddddddd....I don't remember, but I was playing BW Rebels.
I killed four of the six, one folded. I felt teh awesome. I kept preventing damage and people were getting pissed off, didn't help that I had some seekers out that like no one could block, plus a white shadow creature and a black creature (blightsomething) that I just used to ping various people for one.
I killed the Lifelink and Beast deck in the same turn. The lifelink guy was down to 5, and beast deck was at 1 life. I was evil.
But I had fun. I'll post a deck list later, it's out in my car and it's too cold to go get it.
EDIT: Pet Snake, you don't get an apprentice. Acoyltes don't have apprentices, only High Mages do.

Ugh I really don't want to go to class. My puppies should be chillin' down a bit now they've been running around for like an hour or something, I don't know. Anyway.
My head hurts. D:
Anyway I guess I should go to school. Talk to y'all laters.

I'd disagree, if not for the lack of concern for apprentice-thing.

Fool, you don't get an apprentice, your High Mage does, you're just a more experienced apprentice. Which reminds me, bring me doughnuts.
Edit: See, even DF knows better.

I had an apprentice once.
His name was Phil.
We don't talk about Phil anymore.
I have a real-life, flesh-and-blood apprentice minion, I call him Nooblet, and he thinks I'm god. I've also gotten everyone he knows to call him by his given name, to the point even his father forgot his real name.

That seems like a good idea, actually, we'll gang up against ratfinkp and see how long he lasts... that should kill a few minutes, at least...

I don't know how many of you play Extended, but I've found great uses for "jank" like Cerebral Vortex lol
Prerelease was a nightmare for me. I won only one game, out of five matches. Then, afterwards, I faced a newly-edited mono blue deck with my UBR creatureless deck and they pull a Telemin Performance on me. i mean seriously, THAT. ugh..... I couldn't even Dash Hopes the guy as I was short one potential black mana. So, that's how it was for me. I also tried hard to get a NBPW for the aforementioned deck, but for two days, only four were pulled, one was sold, and the rest were not available with my miniscule level of trade fodder....
Oh well, i will have my day eventually. The world will bow in fear to my almighty creatureless "Dare 2 Draw" deck....Until some heartless person topdecks another Telemin Performance against me....XD
Hey guys. Looks like I missed some interesting conversations here about fighting and whatnot... and did I hear something about a manaless Ichorid build? I will have to check that out.
Clan Contest
Votes so far:
Cloud Key (4) Haruhiistx, wamyc, psi, Clem da squiggoth
Confusion in the ranks (1) rocker
Beacon of Tomorrows (4) Ravus, Weaver, ratfinikp, pet snake
Round 2 suckers
One with Nothing (1) psi
Aeolipile (1) wamyc
Cerebral vortex (4) Weaver, clem da squiggoth, ravus, pet snake
Ion storm (1) rocker
That leaves a tie for the first round and Cerebral vortex for the second. I'm breaking the tie in favor of cloud key because franly I want to see someone build something awesome with that card and the beacon is much harder to feature in a deck. Besides, I think cloud key will be exciting and is slightly more powerful than the beacon, which as we learned last year, is actually relevant. :/
Now To Read about 50 pages about (real) Indian Women and their place in the colonial American and Caribbean society. This might take a while.

oh fine then i really wanted to see the beacon in a deck though
and i want to put a vote for cerebral vortex as the second round card
* AsianInvasion, like a spy, comes out of the water.
To elaborate, my computer cable broke, and I don't want to pay $50 to order a replacement, so I've been focusing on work and school for now.
My PR went all right. I won three packs in Sealed, going 2-1-1, and three packs in Draft, going 2-1. I also opened an Elspeth, Knight Errant (which I misplayed FTL in my third round) in Sealed, which I should be able to sell for $20.
Beacon of Tomorrows stands out too much. It's like the contestant who thinks he knows everything, but everyone hates. It'll get voted off pretty quickly IMO. Cloud Key seems like a good, safe bet.

I should have made my meaning plainer. I didnt realize people played competitive Vintage, with Proxy Power
and yes it will be harder to get Power 9,
unless the rumors are true....also, if you had read my comment you quoted, I know that Bazaars arent Power9, but theyre still freaking expensive, and hard to get.
and I disagree, dredge is a decent deck, but I havent seen it played at all lately. Though my Meta is different than yours.

VOTE: Beacon of Tomorrows

Yes, they do. Just because a tournament isn't sanctioned doesn't mean they don't play competitively in it ;).
I had read it. And I know.
Its the best combo deck in Vintage, so meh.
