Hah. That's depressing. We get so little snow here in Texas that when we do it's excuse enough to miss school or work. (And we did get snow recently in a fluke of nature. It snowed for a solid 24 hour period on Thursday then had all melted by Saturday.)
IE: Texas > Minnesota.
Better jobs
Aggressive competition in the magic community
Tons of magic events to be had
Rarely snows
For that matter it's rarely Winter here.
Viva la TX I WIN!
yeah I saw it as a minor point honestly.
And sure it would be great to have an artifact token that needed assembling in order to be useful. But rather than go that route, I've made assemble into a keyword like investigate that is the act of creating an artifact token for some use. If we want to speculate about a contraption that is assembled or disassembled and make contraptions useless without riggers, fine, but IMO I don't want an artifact just sitting there doing nothing if my creature gets killed. I don't want to keep track of that. And I don't want each rigger to create a different contraption. The artifacts that exist are the finished products to me. The vehicles and equipment and fortifications etc. Those are the things that the riggers really want to build. But they use makeshift things when they have to to get the job done.
If the contraption itself is underwhelming then suggest another contraption that's cool. I went through various ideas. Including "search your deck for an equipment, vehicle, or fortification and put it on top of your deck after shuffling." and "Reveal the top card of your deck and put it into your hand if it's an equipment, vehicle or fortification"
Darth Vedik: We know it'll never be a thing. Neither will any of our card designs ever. But we still have fun speculating and creating stuff.
Mechanic: Assemble a contraption
Text: Assemble a contraption (Create a colorless artifact contraption token with, "t, Sacrifice this artifact: Add 1 or gain one energy counter.")
preferably with colorless mana as a symbol and energy counter as another symbol
Good afternoon fabulous friends. A long time ago MTGSalvation started, who even remembers when. Around the same time a nugget of gold dissolved into unicorn tears and burst into a shrapnel blast of glitter and pink. From the remnants of this mythical nugget crawled out the little baby Gaymers. They were a paragon of emotion. They believed in the right to hot guys every month. They opened their arms, and pants, and found each other there. Arm in arm, hand to crotch, clad in burning leather and lubed up chains they developed a secret code which would indicate to others they were safe. In the clan forum they carved out a niche for themselves and set down the seats, they were simple stones back then, and decorated them with flamingo feathers. Those ***** flamingos had it coming. It started small but strong, and it eventually grew legs and fairy wings.
Each thread created brought new people into the all-encompassing, warm and fuzzy pink folds of acceptance. I look now sadly into an empty room. There are cobwebs on the beanbags and the other clans have appropriated all our booze. But let it not be said that the emptiness we see before us was the precedent for this clan, but the exception. And don't believe for an instant that we are separated and sad. We just grew up and moved on. We found each other and nurtured friendships for a decade. We had our ups and down, our drama, our sad stories. We've seen Gaymers come and go, but we've seen them all grow.
I found Gaymers at a time where I really needed it. And with the Gaymers I also found out who I was. I owe a lot to this clan, but most of all I owe it a good sendoff.
For two months there has been little to no activity. For two weeks I've been asking if we think we should retire the clan and no one has responded. I've been asking someone to start a new thread for months with no success. It has been 11 years my friends, and it is with a heavy heart that I return these unicorn tears back to the universe.
Cheers.
*Drinks then sets the glass down on the ground.*
Moderators. Can you please move this clan to the retired thread? Thanks

Do we need to deactivate this clan? I mean it would be the end of an era for us. And it's not to say that we couldn't revive it later. But I don't think we post in here anymore and we haven't been able to find a new name for a new thread, nor did anyone really care about that.
What does everyone think?
Hi Dorian. Welcome back. Elaborate about disability maybe?
Also anyone play hearthstone?
hopefulhawkeye: Ugh Of course if they feature gays they'd be the stereotypical judging gays. Psh.
What happened to everyone anyway?
How are you Mikey?
About time for a new clan thread. I mean....I've been pushing for it for a while since I never stop by anymore. swishh has agreed to host the next thread though so that makes me happy!
Dr. Worm: I'm definitely a Johnny Timmy kinda player. I like to combo out but I don't play necessarily to win; I want to just enjoy the game itself. There are a lot of cards in this block that get my creative juices flowing, especially for modern.
muzy: There were some plants from M14 of course. Ajani's Chosen, Blightcaster, Oath of the Ancient Wood, Awake the Ancient, Corrupt, Howl of the Night Pack, Nightmare, Quag Sickness, The Staff cycle, and to a lesser extent Liliana of the Dark Realms for the heavier idea of mono color, celestial flare to deal with indestructible creatures, flames of the firebrand as a removal spell that could theoretically target your own creature with heroic, vile rebirth to fight some dredge strategies. (to a much lesser extent)
Nykthos is probably the card with the most potential just because it lets you go big in any color whatsoever so long as you play permanents. Right now I'm thinking about how many creatures in White are WW and how many useful enchantments in blue are UU (like opportunity, and annex, volition reins, and confiscate and the like)
I am enjoying deckstorming with all the theros cards. Heroic seems like it will be very good if people will commit to building around it. I like the slower pace and I LOVE the fact that it's not rampantly multi/three colored. I'm tired of multicolor. I want it to be special again.
I suggest Portia and Ellen
