To play survivor, each clan will need to nominate a card from any MTG set (excluding un-sets) to represent them.
Then, these cards will be voted out one (or more!) at a time based on different criteria until single card remains. For reference, you can read about the last two years' Survivor comps here and here.
Any reasoning for votes will be accepted as long as you're prepared to explain yourself. Wild, crazy theories are strongly encouraged, and feel free to draw on any field of knowledge from anywhere and anywhen in the universe when reaching your conclusions. The only limitation is yourself!
The deadline for signups will be one week from this post's timestamp. Get in early with your nominated cards, lest another clan choose your card as their candidate before you do!
The Candidates: [House Dimir] - Lich Lord of Unx - Too ugly to get past round 3. [The Family] - Gifts Ungiven - Was hauled off to the gallows in round 2. [The Izzet] - Jhoira of the Ghitu - Co-Winner! The [Pack] - Oros, the Avenger (Regular art)Broke dancing in round 4. [Soundtrack] - Magus of the Disk - Banned from the bar in round 5. [Planar Chaos] - Shahrazad - Kapowed out of Gotham in round 6. [Clan Mono-Black] - Liliana Vess (M10 art) Co-Winner! [The Called] - Elves of Deep Shadow (The Dark art) - Too "special" to make it into the final. [Limited] - Mulldrifter (Lorwyn art) - Did too many "little kicks" in round 4. [Greek Alliance] - Uncle Istvan - The tribe spoke in round 1. [ARD] - Samurai of the Pale Curtain - All the animal-based villain names were already taken in round 6.
A round will end early if we reach a majority vote within 4 days, otherwise whoever has the most votes at deadline will be eliminated. A non-vote is counted as a vote for your own candidate! Votes are to be made publicly in this thread.
Asking out a girl is like trying to cast a first turn Necropotence. Sometimes the other player will have the Force of Will to say no. You shouldn't let that stop you from trying it.
Just over 24 hours until signups are closed - Get those cards in!
If your card has multiple artworks, please specify which printing you want like [The Called] and [Clan Mono-Black] have, since artwork help people make decisions about cards. I'll go through the list now and prompt this from any clans that need to do this.

Oh right, um for Oros, we're using the normal version.
Signups are closed. Clans, I present your assembled candidates:
Now that we're all acquainted, lets begin.
* The sound of Jungle Drums permeates the heavy air, the only light flickers from atop a circle of bamboo torches *
The game is Survivor, welcome to the first meeting of Tribal Council. It's beginning to be apparent that some of you are not handling life on a deserted island as well as others, and I'm sure your respective tribes are noticing the strain that this is putting on everyone else. It's been suggested that, in all likelihood, it would be best for the continued wellbeing of the tribe if those that aren't coping were voted off first.
Suvivors, cast your votes... now.
The deadline is exactly 4 days from the timestamp of this post.
The round will end early if we reach a majority vote within 4 days, otherwise whoever has the most votes at deadline will be eliminated. A non-vote is counted as a vote for your own candidate!
Votes are to be made publicly in this thread. Remember to give reasoning with your votes, the more information the better. Good luck!
House Dimir votes for Uncle Istvan.
Who wants an insane guy with an axe on an island?
Isn't an axe one of those tools that gets rated "#1 thing to have on a deserted island?" Maybe Dimir can cut down trees and make coconut radios with their mindwaves, but [Limited] needs tools. We are chill with uncle Izzy.
[Limited] votes for Elves of Deep Shadow. Their woeful unpreparedness for island life is right in the name! Those poor elves need their dark, enchanted forests. That girl will burn to a crisp out here in the sand and sun. We want Elves of Deep Shadow off for her own sake, to protect her fragile, pale skin.
(Plus she keeps looking at us funny.)

I'll be sad if people don't start calling The Chain Veil "Fleetwood Mac."
[The Greek Alliance] votes Magus of the Disk. She can blow everything up on a whim. Can you imagine having to deal with somebody like that on a deserted island?
"Uncle Istvan, go chop down some wood for shelter and firewood. Jhoira, you build us shelter using some of that wood. Magus, you go find food."
"But I don't wanna! I wanna sit here and pout."
"Magus, we need to survive. Go find us some food."
"You're mean! I hate you!"
<BOOM!>
'nuff said.

The Izzet is going with Uncle Istavan. Just reading the flavor text was more than enough evidence that some psycho with an axe that went insane simply because he was alone is grounds for seeing him off the island.
