[House Dimir] is the second oldest clan on MTGSalvation. Not only that, but we are the oldest of the Ravnica guild clans. We are on our thirtieth thread, becoming more powerful each day.
Even with over seven years of solid activity, we continue to be one of the strongest, and stable clans throughout the forum. Over these long, glorious years, the members of [House Dimir] have helped shape not only the clans forum, but MTGSalvation.com in general.
Since the inception of our clan, we have thrived for dominance through subtle manipulation and meticulous calculation. Everyone has a part to play in Our grande scheme. The question is, will you choose to willingly except your place as a pawn in the great [House Dimir], or will you be one of Our many unsuspecting puppets?

For those seeking membership.
If you have not been posting in our thread regularly, do not ask to join Our esteemed Clan. If you become active and productive, then and only then may you ask for membership. So join in on the conversation, and perhaps you will be deemed worthy.
Our beautiful header art was made by Our very own KrackShott. Thanks man, you rock!
Was at a wicked Ultimate Frisbee tourney over the last couple of days - just narrowly lost the final but I scored over half our team's points in the final game :3
I get back to a new thread? Awesomecool!

@Necropsy, sorry dude, the trip to the post office will have to wait until Monday. Sorry:/
S'all good bro!
Also, the answer to my riddle
Quote from Me »
With pointed fangs it sits in wait,
With piercing force its doles out fate,
Over bloodless victims proclaiming its might,
Eternally joining in a single bite.
What am I?
@Necropsty, nice riddle. Is that a necro original, or an "n-o", if you will?
@Raz, so I noticed you were looking at the PM I sent you, but have yet to respond.
This is why new recruits get the boot, then come back a few weeks later like, "uuuuuuhhhh. why didnt i make the cut?"
It's because we dont.... we dont... we dont mess around.
I remember I joined this clan a few posts after a mod shutdown warning. Now there is an elaborate system for recruiting that recruits must adhere because we have had so many actives, there is no need for those whom are not serious. Im not saying Raz is not serious, this is just a passing observation. Im very happy we are at that point. Im very proud of the clan for many reasons, and this is one of those things:)
AAAAYYYYYYYYYYYY new thread. I'm testing out my new Kresh -1/-1 counter EDH deck on cockatrice. Wait -1 counters on Kresh? Yeah it's pretty stupid but also pretty fun. Just wish I could add blue to the deck that would make it crazy stupid good.
- Trading Post is NOT a top-tier T2 deck
- Forced sacrifice and Mutilate are insanely good
- the deck attracts spectators like no other
Also, people tend to swing into me having only Homicidal Seclusion, Trading Post and some mana open with their 3-toughness stuff, then see their attacker fall to a mad, vampiric goat token. 'No, the keyrune that punched you on my turn is just an artifact right now. The goat is all alone ... and hungry!'
So, I am very much looking to build a blue/black EDH deck. Despite the confusion before, Circu is not my choice for the General. He is in the deck though.
My choice for General (At this point) is Dralnu. Him plus a number of mill and discard spells should make for a nasty little engine. This is to say nothing of all the "helpers" in the deck.
However, I am always open to the thoughts of others, should you feel so obliged.

I would like to see this deck list as well please.
I might switch up the removals a bit in the next time. Devour was brilliant, so were Tribute and Mutilate, as neither Resto Angel nor Boros Charm could stop them from killing. White does feel tempting for the next iteration. Blind Obedience to shut off all those hasters, Terminus for another no way out boardwipe that could even happen at instant speed.
Ok so please tell me if I'm in the wrong here. I was playing a multiplayer EDH game on Cockatrice and 2 guys play token decks and both have a Grave Pact out from turn 3 on. These guys also have multiple sac outlets and don't allow a single creature to sit on the board for more than 5 seconds, effectively killing the game. I have Greater Good out and I proceed to Tooth and Nail for Woodfall Primus and Mikaeus, the Unhallowed. I then kill this guys Grave Pact, Phyrexian Alter, and Karn and another guys Grave Pact and Grave Betrayal. At this point I say multiple times, "Ok I'm done, that's all I'm hitting," and end my turn. I was then called a d-bag along with 10 other names because apparently it's "not fun to end a game with one card." Even though the Pacts and everything were completely ruining the game for everyone else. All the other players except just one left the game at this point angry at me. The guy who stayed continued to b**** at me for a good 10 minutes how people like me ruin EDH for everyone. I countered by telling him to shut his self-righteous a** up and get over himself long enough to realize we made basically the exact same play but I was still giving him a chance to recover (a luxury he did not allow me to have). Am I the bad guy here for ruining the game, or am I right in feeling that I was just evening the game out and returning it to a playable point?
EDIT: The lobby was titled "Fun EDH" but I wasn't having any fun.

But if you have yet to realize that the internet is pretty ****ty. SURPRISE! It is!
Don't let it get to ya. People are blinded by how they play but when someone stands up and does the same thing to them, somehow they are the only ones allowed to do it and suddenly the same type of game actions are unfair now. Granted your boardstate was able to hit every permanent and could reload on the fly. Their boardstates slowed the game down and unless there is something else missing from your story, they didn't lock the game down. Just creatures. You had a stall on everything which made you public enemy number one. And to some, they realized it would be an uphill battle or they knew they had no immediate answers to it. IRL one would just insta-scoop and being another round as oppose to grinding it out. In this case, they raged quit and yelled out ya. Again SURPRISE! people on the internet get angry!
;tl dr; Grow a tough shell. Don't try to reason with dummies online (unless they are good friends. :D). And watch for Tooth and Nail play. It's border line "o! Here comes Avenger of Zendikar and Primeval Titan/Urabrask/whatever else is dumb!" It's gonna draw hate 50% and a counterspell the other 50%. Play your deck with no regrets and shrug off the idiots you come across.
Honestly, I would have loved sitting between two guys locking down each other and minding my own business: flooding the board with silly enchantments, building the perfect hand for a Storm turn, setting up for combo of choice, ramping like a madman for that table-killing X spell or frantically digging through my deck for a board wipe.
Also, that single blue player makes so much of a difference for a table. Sure, everyone may hate him for his countermagic, but sometimes, a 'no' is required to keep the game-state ... existing.

This.
Sometimes, okay most times, that is simply the nature of the game. Everyone knows how to win, most don't know how to win graciously. Even less know how to lose that way.
My best advice is to keep doing what you are doing. You obviously have a certain amount of skill and there is no need to not use it. Occasionally you will have games that are not fun, it happens to us all. Hopefully though, for every nonfun game you have, you will have five fun ones.
In fact, I may have to check out this Cockatrice program. If I do, I will gladly play EDH against you. And I promise you a fun game.
And the same goes for any of the rest of you who are interested.
Hello my unseen friends. I am just stopping by because 1) I haven't visited them in ages. 2)I love your new thread title. and 3) Being allies, I should visit more.
Oh, and are there any Doctor Who Fans here? If not, then no one will get this, but I have been watching the show and now they are dealing with the Silence (for those who don't know, you can only remember these guys when you see them. When you turn away, you forget everything about them).
So I was watching and went "Hey! They must be Dimir Necrosages.
Raz, personally Wrexial is my fav UB general, but the problem is he relies on your opponents having good cards ;p which doesn't always happen where I live, that's for sure! When I get some time off work (15 hour days D; ) I might turn some cards on cockatrice

Funny you should mention Wrexial as he is a component in my deck with Dralnu as General (Granted that may change after some discussion but that is the plan for now.). And the odds of me getting Cocaktrice is increasing by the post. I would love to play cards with you guys.
