@Doug Bey-er, Aquajolt, No pressure:) We have been doing contest stuff from there. It seems to be easier for some, and not as easy for others. Meh. I don't know what we'll do for this one coming up...
@Macius, misguided. Subtle. You're just mad my team didn't stem from something Brown and horrible. I'm pretty sure Aquajolt also likes the Ratbir-er, I mean, Ravens too.
@Clan Contest 6:
This will be a pot luck. We can spitball ideas in the thread and when we hit something we can go to the hideout or where ever.
We can submit anything so long as it doesn't violate any rules.
By my calculations, we are trailing the lead of the Crafter's by ONE point in the Clan of the Year race. So we are this close to winning CotY. We're technically closer than we've ever been this late in the year. So if we do well on whatever submission we make, we could very well win CotY.
I would like any and all members to submit their ideas in this thread for everyone to see and mull over. Anything that you think would be AWESOME.
My initial suggestions:
-Rewrite the Spice Girl's song "2 Become 1" in a more dimir-like fashion, then make a shot for shot remake of the video using our members as spice girls.
-Epic Wins Compilation: We play and film ourselves winning face with our various dimir decks, then set a nice, dimir-y track to it.
-Make a mini comic about our clan. I wouldn't mind lending my artistic pen to the paper for this. Wouldn't mind writing it either. Someone would have to help with digital inking and lettering, (Necropcy!). Our resident writer Raz also probably wouldn't mind penning some of this if not all of this.
-Ravnica Minecraft video: my Ravnica is over halfway finished. I am certain with some help I could get it finished in time to submit a video. I would totally need some help, though.
*If we do this, I call sporty spice.
Any and all suggestions will be examined. Let's do this!
@aja, if you can devote some serious time in the upcoming weeks, I will pay for at least a thirty day subscription for you. Basically, we would have all the hard stuff left. Gruul, Izzet, Rakdos and Boros remain virtually untouched.
My primary purpose of coming here is saying: Happy new thread!
On another note though (cannot remember if this subject has been mentioned by me before, if it has, there must be some mind manipulative magic at work):
@Digi, I do not know if you enjoy metal, but if I remember your religious beliefs correctly these bands might interrest you (lf you do not like metal, you might want to listen to them anyway, since they are atypical for most modern metal songs):Bathory, Enslaved, Týr (a lot of this song is in faroese, if you know old norse, you can probably get most of it. The band has made songs in English as well though, I just think this one has a certain charm), Vanir, Svartsot (This one is in Danish, so do not feel distressed if you do not understand a word) and Thyrfing (This one is in Swedish, I know I am a sucker for these songs not in English, but as I mentioned earlier, I think they do have a certain charm).
I do not know if there are any "psalms" for the modern incarnation of the religion, but my interrest in it is purely historical since I am an atheist (it is a part of my culture). I do not know why I suddenly thought of this, but maybe it has something to do with your thread name refering to a horrible Norwegian pop song. So I thought I had to show a decent side of the Scandinavian music scene, while adding a twist that justified the inclusion.
@aja: here is the list of recommendations I got from my LCS.
Nightwing, Green Lantern, Green Arrow (1-17 are not worth it as its very meh, but 18+ is where it got much better.), Redhood, Suicide Squad and Talon (this last one was a small stretch in his book, but said that if you liked batman, then Talon may be worth looking at)
@Chili Tyr is pretty awesome, much preferred over bands like Amon Amarth(whose songs consistently sounds the same.)
A couple new Theros block cards. I know for a fact they may be OP, but more for flavor. Any pointers on making them closer to something printable is welcomed and appreciated:

I've got a fire under my ass now! My schoolwork has waned just briefly which meant I could throw everything else off my room table and tweak my EDH decks! WHEEEE! Got FtV Venser for Braids (he's soooo pretty!) and need to make Marath not suck. Pulling stuff from Derevi for the time being and focusing on the previously mentioned + that janky Circu deck I mentioned earlier and my RIKU! deck. Also Jor Kadeen is ka-put.
And lining up with that, I've been trading like a mad man! Or at least sending out feelings to get the **** that I want. =) I'm like a drug dealer...but with cards! =p
Hope to get all that **** finalized so I can play with each of em this weekend/tomorrow night
Sorry dude, Voted for Dio. Dickinson is more of a Frontman for hire to me, he bounced around until finally finding a home with Maiden in 82.....the band already had success before him, so I don't see him being a better frontman than Dio, who IS/was the band. The only person to Succeed Ozzy in Sabbath after already having success on his own, lol. Also, I think Ozzy should have beat Corey Taylor. I like slipklnot and Stonesour, but I mean Ozzy.....I don't think he can die.

Yeah, and Alice Cooper lost to Till Lindemann????? My Brain just goes WTF!!?!?!!??
Seriously, Alice Cooper is still relevant, and Line up Du Hast back to back with No More Mr. Nice Guy or School's Out and see what you get. Did any of those voters even listen to the English version? Horrid.

@chili, while I am very asatru, I don't care too much for metal. I usually only listen to music without words, or the words being chanted over and over with autotune or straight up robot voice, lol. Thank you very much for the suggestions, though:)
@Nate, Forsaken is sick.
No one has any great ideas for the pot luck clans contest? This is crunch time. We need great ideas and fast.
@Digi, so you are into electronic music I guess. If you also enjoy other sorts of speechless music (bad pun intended), Týr actually have some great instrumental tracks.
Oh, and concerning electronic music http://forums.mtgsalvation.com/showthread.php?t=523046 , there might be something there you will enjoy (ok, maybe not since it is Harsh EBM, but electronic it sure is). And if all else fails: Liszt and Wagner is something you can always sit back and enjoy while reading a good book (another intended bad pun).

Well, you make me sick. Lol. Dickinson's energy makes Maiden one of the best live acts of all time.
I'm not saying you can't make an argument, I just honestly think Dio has a much more powerful presence than Dickinson. My opinoin is with the majority on this one.
Agreed. If you don't agree with that, I just don't know what to say. lol

Who does that?! German is what makes Rammstein work. The English version makes me want to throw things.
Wait. There's an english version of Rammstein? *mind explodes*
(I agree that it's the German that makes it work. I don't want to listen to it in English).

Don't do it. I heard it on MTV a year or so after Du Hast had made a video. It was the same video and everything except he was sing/speaking in English. It ruined the song. Even knowing the lyrics translation didn't do that.

Okay. Raz, myself and others have been kind of spitballing all day.
How about we rewrite "twas the night before Christmas" in a theme representing us as a clan, and House Dimir and ravnica over a video?
We could have Someone read it in an awesome and creepy voice. Still unclear on what kind of videos.
Can we get a yay or two for the rewrite and video?
If so, we need video ideas. Our FB is poppin' and we can discuss here too.
I'm in favor of the rewrite/reading. If nobody else wants to, I can read it. I have a decent baritone and an animated voice. Lol.
I second that, although I'm not sure I'm creepy enough. I could audition. Digi, you heard my voice on the Conference call for Fantasy Football, if you remember, you can make your judgement on that, lol. My feelings won't get hurt, lmao.

Ideas for a video? I could do south park style construction paper scenes. But that would take me loads of time. So we need to come up with an idea for the video that doesn't have me hunched over for days with little pieces of construction paper glued to my nose.
Last playtest against Bant Prophet: 2 - 0. G1 Ashiok held things down long enough for Jace to draw cards and kill spells to kill. G2, Used one Doomblade on one Daxos which was easily protected from an omenspeaker, Ashiok kept exiling lands, took turn 4 - 24 to hit his 4th land and 2nd white source. Wasn't able to verdict, Render silent, Syncopate, Prophet, or anything else. Nightmares were weaved. :-D
