So I've been testing this MBA deck for legacy as of late, The Gate. Its in credibly suicidal, but it beats face and can handle alot of other decks.
It makes me chuckle that Abyssal Persecutor is beating face and doing it well in Legacy.
In other news, $50 bought me and my fiancee 3 weeks worth of groceries, gotta love the awesomeness of Aldi.
* Weaver goes off to find the Jitte=Hand thread.
I'm glad I picked up Persecuters when they were way cheap.
Dude, Aldi is amazing. I just moved near one recently. They don't have groceries that cheap where I'm from! I'm still amazing at $0.99 milk everywhere in DFW. Milk was only below $3 when it was on sale in Austin

I no longer have any desire to lead or be a member of this clan.
It was nice hanging out for the 5+ years I've been here, but it's time for me to move on. I'd like to remain a friend, for something involving stewardship or shepherding or perhaps my levelheadedness, but I'll leave that up to my successor to decide. For whomever does take up that role, don't forget to report the last post in the clan thread when you start a new one to tell the mods it's time to retire.
I haven't really been here long enough to get to know you, but I can say that you will be missed.

My LGS was fortunate enough to be featured on WotC's site, here's a link to the article. The store is Pat's Games in Austin, TX.
I'm spoiled rotten because of them. They keep great prices, account for tax in their prices so you never need non-quarter coins, and have a somewhat diverse meta as far as casual is concerned. Unfortunately, they are somewhat competitive compared to the other store in my city, but I don't go there because their prices are higher and they don't sell singles.
o.0 I used to go to Pat's xD. I'm at college now in Dallas, but I used to go to Battleforge and Pat's until this summer. Maybe I know you

Finally deposited my birthday checks, so my bank account is 50% thicker, which is nice, until you realize that that doesn't mean a whole lot if your bank account was nigh-empty.
In other news, I'm slowly attempting to teach my girlfriend Magic, and it's going pretty well. I'm also quite proud to disprove that "Nerds don't get girlfriends" stereotype that I'd heard somewhere before. Though looking around, it appears that it wasn't really true to begin with....
I'm slowly getting into the college application process, and with the Common App nearing its completion, I'm still debating over where exactly in the country I want to go. Does anyone here have any recommendations for colleges with good Mathematics programs that are close by a good Magic store? I'm not too choosy as far as weather goes, so just throw some ideas out there.
I'm not sure how good you're looking for, but I go to the University of Texas at Dallas. I've got several friends majoring in Math, and the program here isn't bad by any means. It's also really cheap, and they throw scholarship money at people. We have a pretty good MtG scene as well.

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

Surging Chaos, I gather that you are quite experienced in EDH, and I was looking to get into the format, but most deck are very expensive. How many budget decks are there in EDH? If any.
Hope you don't mind if I question jack here. There's no such thing as competitive EDH (well there is, but pretend like there isn't). Start by building a deck with the cards you have, then add cards to it as you get them. For example, I built a monoblack Marrow-Gnawer deck for probably under $20, but now I have all sorts of fun stuff in there.

I drafted an insane red-black deck (I was going red-white until I opened a Grave Titan and got passed all the appropriate support...!), and lost round one to horrible luck, and lost the last round to a play-mistake and my opponent having too much for me to deal with (which would've been dealt with without said mistake :ugh:). I call Friday the thirteenth shenanigans. There wasn't a single card in my deck that wasn't amazing, and I scrubbed out anyway. :cry:
Oh well, the box we drafted must've been incredible, as there were two titans, two planeswalkers, three duals, playable foils worth something, and so on. Even last place got something worthwhile out of it.
I didn't make it to FNM on account of the whole moving into the dorms thing, but a friend of mine did open a box he got from judging.
Three Titans, 2 'Walkers, a Foil BSA, a foil Obstinate Baloth, and lots of other sauce.
We almost drafted that box >.<
(but that's ok because the last box we drafted from him I pulled a Foil Gideon in so yeah)

Dear Fellow Izzet Members,
I have some unfortunate news; this is the end of magic for me. This is not my choice, its rather my parents. While they said nothing about this site, i think it would only make me sad to post here much longer, knowing I can't play. I truly appreciate how you all have been so kind and welcoming to me. Its unfortunate that I could never make it further than a test subject, and I would have loved to participate in clan activities. I am sorry I never got to know a lot of you better, and I regret there is not more time. If there is ever a time when I'm allowed to return to magic, the first place I would go (other than to pick up an intro deck so I'll have something tourney legal) will be the izzet clan fourms. And please, stay alive while I'm gone
And I'm not sure I'm in a position to do this, but as a last request, when the time comes, I would appreciate MTGPlaneswalker in some kind of position of Electromancy; he deserves it.
Best of Luck to all
Blue/Red now and forever,
V.M.Sanotre
