This is Clan Bolas! We are the eyes, ears, and hands of our Elder Dragon master on MTGSalvation! From here, we will conduct his operations and slowly enthrall all of the online community!
As of this moment, we don't have much of anything except a members list, and a few alliances. But we will welcome all mages that wield mana of the colors blue, red, and especially black, and any combination thereof!

1. Follow the MTGS rules.
2. Only the clan leader may speak as Bolas.
3. Bolas speaks in bolded DARK RED text.
4. If you do not post for a reasonable amount of time without warning, you will be demoted and possibly removed from the clan.
Dueling (Better name, anyone?)
Dueling will be a means to move up ranks in Clan Bolas and to have fun. You do not have to participate in Dueling, but you can if you want.
When you join Clan Bolas, one of the requirements is to create a 30 card "deck" consisting of one these three colors: Blue, Black, or Red. The deck may not contain more than 2 of a single card. This "deck" represents the spells you have access to when dueling. Each person also starts off with a total mana pool of ten of their single color.
Once you've reached the rank of "Thrall of Bolas", you may challenge anyone in the clan above the rank of "Offering to Bolas" to a duel. During a duel, each participant takes turn casting a single spell from their deck. At the beginning of each turn, a participant receives mana equal to half the number spent the last turn they spent mana, rounded up. Creatures work as they do in the normal Magic: the Gathering game. Anything that references something that no longer exists does not work. Each player has twenty (20) life. When one player is reduced to 0 life, they lose the duel.
When you win a duel, you receive a number of points equal to the difference between both ranks, unless they are below you, in which case you receive 1 point, no matter what. If you lose a duel, you lose points equal to the difference between both ranks.
Example 1:
A "Thrall of Bolas" challenges a "Slave of Bolas" and wins. The Thrall receives 1 point, while the Slave loses 1 point.
Example 2:
A "Liege of Bolas" challenges a "Thrall of Bolas" and wins, receiving 1 point, while the Thrall loses 2.
No one may have less than zero points. If a player is able to achieve ten points, they will be moved up a rank at the next appropriate time. No one may advance past the rank of Liege of Bolas. If it is deemed appropriate by the Archon of Bolas or by Bolas himself, a member may be deducted a rank for the loss of a duel. Duels will be moderated by either a Liege or the Archon, so long as the moderator is not participating.
You may challenge a Pawn of Bolas, but you will be awarded no points for victory.
As you move upward in rank, you will receive more powers during a duel. Note, powers are cumulative, so you retain the powers of lower ranks:
Archon of Bolas - The Archon has a total of fifteen mana available to them. They also may have a total of forty spells of any rarity in their deck.
Liege of Bolas - Lieges are allowed access to any color of spell in there deck, so long as the deck contains Blue, Black, or Red spells in some form. Lieges also may use mana of any color as if it were another color.
Slave of Bolas - Slaves may have a total of 35 cards in their deck, with rarities of rare or less. They also may use spells that are either Blue, Black, or Red and are not restricted to a single color. If a Slave chooses to introduce a new color(s) to his/her deck, they must divide their available mana amongst the colors present in their deck.
Thrall of Bolas - Thralls are only allowed to have cards of uncommon rarity or less in their deck.
When the current Archon of Bolas steps down, any members who want the position may participate in a duel. The winner of the duel will receive the position. Otherwise, the Archon will determine who will be the next Archon.
Jaxck has made his decision. The Dragon known as Nicol has earned his respect (despite a girl's name). Add the almighty, ever modest Jaxck to your goup. Please.
@Jaxck: To the group of friends or the Clan itself?
@Surging Chaos: Yes, if you didn't friend us, your loyalty to U/R would be severely compromised.
@Clan Members (Friends can help too): Okay, so here's our first step of business. I'd like a better system of ranks than "Leader, Second in Command, Third in Command, etc, etc" but I can't think of a good one that would reflect the power of Bolas. Any suggestions?
Heh, not bad. Well, I guess a good thing to decide first would be the number of ranks. I Clan Mono Black has like four, while House Dimir has a bajillion it seems. I'd say around five or so. Minion would probably be in there somewhere.

How about (in order) slave, pawn, puppet, minion, (don't know about the leader, maybe: archon, priest, ally, envicar?)

I opened one last year, got two crap worldwake packs and 8x scathe zombies, which I promptly hid around my sister's apartment for her roommates to find. But, yeah, it was a piece of crap.
You, sir, have just won the internet. Congratulations.
Yeah, that's what I was thinking . . . To Thesaurus.com!
So far, I've found Commander, Imperator (Sounds cool), Liege, and Captain. I personally like Liege. Also found Thrall, Vassal, Drudge, and Victim for lower ones.
Of course not. And even if it can, why should it? I mean, if you're giant steam monster could build a house, why not rob a bank instead? Or take the local lord hostage?
Any minions of Bolas are friends of mine (he used to play poker with my great great grandfather, who bet my soul, so I kind of have to friend the clan...of course, I would anyway. Obviously >.>)
How about Second of Bolas? Shows both subordination and familiarity with your master.

Gratz for the new clan, requesting friendship to Bolas.
@ Ravarshi: Why non land permanent for +1 loyality? wasteland would be awesome to play with him. +2 counters and -1 land for oppo. Then use the "-4" on opponent lands. +2 again. You just destroyed 3 lands in a turn for free.
Great design anyway.
Because i want him to actually be playable alongside real MTG cards. I'm making them be not too broken, because i actually intend on playing with these cards with my playgroup. and i dont own wasteland, i'm cheap
Plus, honestly. 3 lands for free is broken... nonland is done that way on purpose, so you can't absolutely abuse him... Afterall, he is Me. and I may be cruel, but i'm not THAT cruel... Thanks, if you'd like to see the rest of the current (2) published Sets. They're under the names Urankar. (Strife, and Ancients, respectively) Third set (as soon as my clan finishes with power level eratta and whatnot will be posted as soon as possible.)
Where? Unless you've seen my sets or been spying on the [PACK]. it's not been posted much outside of my mind... If you happen to see the only NonMTG related Ravarshi. they stole my name... bastard Wizkids.
And, spell my name right.. -.- (even if that's how it's actually pronounced, without the second r.)

Nicol Bolas' a pretty cool guy eh churns world spaghetti and doesn't afraid of apocalypse.
Awesome avatar provided by Krashbot @ [Epic Graphics].
Darth Vader approves as well, and told me if I didn't friend this clan that my lack of faith to U/R would be disturbing.
@Jaxck: To the group of friends or the Clan itself?
@Surging Chaos: Yes, if you didn't friend us, your loyalty to U/R would be severely compromised.

This is pretty good. The leader is the one I'm stuck on.
cant be envicar, since that is cmbs leaders rank
So far, I've found Commander, Imperator (Sounds cool), Liege, and Captain. I personally like Liege. Also found Thrall, Vassal, Drudge, and Victim for lower ones.
Well, the Izzet do have a bit of that dark side to them. Not every experiment can be utilized to benefit the greater good of the community.

And I'ma gonna go to bed for now. Good first day for Clan Bolas, and hopefully the start to a long run as a strong clan.
Also (in flavor and "dark" (i'm a master at this kinda stuff)) The "Ranks" Should Be,
Archon
Pawn
Minion (and depending on if you'd like 4 or 5)
Thrall
(if you want 5, you'd need something between Pawn and Minion.)
