It might. I can't afford to take that chance, not after what I learned about the Eldrazi...
For FNM, I'm thinking of running JVL's Standard WW list with 10 MD creatures with protection from black/red. The local meta is pretty infested with Vampires, and I wanted something with game against other aggro strategies and B and/or R control as well. Has anyone here tested this list?
i played a few matches on mws with it today, it seems fine and can be pretty explosive, but it's pretty mediocre against anything that isn't red or black.
i was also thinking about taking it to fnm, but i like my current WW deck too much.

I think its 24 cards short of being good.

I would be incredibly, incredibly grateful for any insight and advice you can offer me on how one can go about creating their own forum. It is something I have been wanting to do for a while!!!! Also, congrats
I'm funnily enough, the wrong person to ask as far as creation goes. Since the forum I run was created before I found it. I took over for my friend who made it. But I do know of a very good resource for anyone who is interested in starting a forum.

Maybe Emeria Aggro with the pro-dudes would be better, because then I get to use the nuttiest creature in Standard.
and how are you gonna get baenslayrz? hopefully nothing illegal...
Now why would you automatically assume something like that?
I'm borrowing most of the cards for the deck anyway. Getting 4x Baneslayer Angel shouldn't be too terribly difficult. In the end, I'll probably wind up running Jund, Vampires, or Solar Flare, since I have more experience with those decks (and my friend Kabob already has them put together). Although after Kabob went 2-3 running Solar Flare last week...
yeah, that'd suck, thankfully it isn't in standard. though if you had a firewalker out, you'd at least gain 1 life:stupid:

i'd go with vamps if i were you, jund gets a bit boring to play(at least to me it does) and i'm not too sure how well solar flare can do.
Kabob is a pretty strange name, please tell me it's a nickname.
Nothing much has changed IRL, for those who are curious. Still trying to graduate with a psychology degree while working as a cashier, neither of which is particularly fun or easy at the moment.

Sounds similar to what I'm doing right now... except I'm majoring in biology and I work as a tutor instead. It's been tough, but ultimately I enjoy it :).
It's great to see you finally back after what seemed like an eternity.
@ Clem: I just checked my email and saw the message you sent. I'll stop by MTG Darkness when I get the chance :).
Hi new people. I encourage you to make a name for yourselves, and the best way to do this is post and be unique about it. Ratoly is now known as "that one guy who likes to be called 'The Semanticore,'" which is better than "that one guy."
I don't recall saying anything about liking to be called 'The Semanticore,' but you're still absolutely correct.
For FNM, I'm thinking of running JVL's Standard WW list with 10 MD creatures with protection from black/red. The local meta is pretty infested with Vampires, and I wanted something with game against other aggro strategies and B and/or R control as well. Has anyone here tested this list?
No but I want to now. Actually, I wanna build the deck now. Period. Just because my casual meta is also full of Black and Red.

I am the original Semanticore! (Meaning I coined and defined the term.)
I have Deckbuilder's ADD.
Welcome back AI! We missed you greatly. I know I definitely missed your smilie-infested posts. No one around here uses smilies nearly enough.
I haven't posted in a bit, mostly due to huge papers being thrown at me from school while juggling co-organizing the MWS EDH Elemental Blitz Tournament going on in the EDH forums. /end shameless self-promotion
As for the white weenie pro red/black decks running around, I've seen a bunch of them on MWS. From what I've seen they are pretty good, specially if your meta is Jund/Vamps/RDW..etc.
we will get thread 28 when our great leader, a.k.a. Rocker, decides to make another one out of the plasmic remains of the others into thread 28.:D, by the way what happened to Niv, the original leader and parun? is he dead or something?
Kabob is a pretty strange name, please tell me it's a nickname.
It is, but his real name isn't exactly common, either. It's also nigh-impossible for non-Urdu speakers to pronounce correctly, so most people just stick with the nickname. Even his GF doesn't call him by his real name.

I'd much rather be a tutor than a cashier. Not only is it academic, but the people you help are actually grateful. I guess I can't complain too much, since I have a steady job in a down economy.
It's good to be back, even though things aren't the same as they used to be.

I know, I've seen a huge glut of white too. I'm getting so sick of it, especially after playing 4 out of 5 MWC decks in that free MWS tourney

I know. The best part is that I work when I wouldn't normally have class, so I basically never have to work weekends at all unless a student wants to set up some sort of study session before finals or something like that. Being a tutor is awesome :).

Hopefully, things change for the better. I'm just glad we got past that mess a month ago for the most part.
i like the first one as well, but i also like the selective memory one.

thank you members of the izzet for your inventive guidence
I'm not sure the word "inventive" applies in this situation. Just try not to get spam infractions on your way to 1k.
I know I'm going to get a custom eventually; I wonder if anyone with a custom will ever have as low of a ppd as I'm bound to. Logistically, no one with a custom now can have a ppd as low as mine at this point, since I joined the site right at the beginning.
In other news, I've discovered the vast potential for profit that is the magic tournament trade market. My binder's value increased by $400 this last weekend, and I almost made top 8 of a 5k but screwed myself over by being a Nice Guy (TM).
Anyways, you guys want information on our new thread. I've been a little too patient with Nakamura, as I wanted our banner to be ready to go before posting it, so I'll give him a nudge towards that after I finish writing up this post. Tentative new thread date is this Friday, so submit whatever title ideas you have until then and I guess we can start voting on Tuesday. Ideas so far:
[The Izzet] Could Have Gotten Away With it, if it Wasn't for Those Meddling Kids!

On our way out of FNM last week, my friend and I saw a foil Stoneforge Mystic for $3.50. I told him to pick it up (since I can't afford to invest in T2 myself), but he said he didn't think it was very good. Mistake!

I'm pretty sure 38-card decks aren't even legal in Limited, buddy. (I chose to ignore the bait.)
4 of which cost :6mana::symw::symw:
i think jvl's deck has potential, i just prefer my own deck.
and how are you gonna get baenslayrz? hopefully nothing illegal...
Now why would you spoil my Legacy tech of Abyssal Persecutor + Divine Intervention?
Thankfully Decimate isn't Standard-legal. Losing Behemoth Sledge, the creature it was equipped to, Oblivion Ring, and a land would be GG.

thanks, i've always wanted one of those.
So what should I make my custom title?
Infraction for doublepost. r~
I went 2-3 playing Eldrazi Green. I'm never running that deck again.
It is, but his real name isn't exactly common, either. It's also nigh-impossible for non-Urdu speakers to pronounce correctly, so most people just stick with the nickname. Even his GF doesn't call him by his real name.

no, i mean niv-mizzet, as inthe dragon, the actual one

what is guildpact mafia?
