STUFF: Application Rules
To join The Izzet, please post the following in this thread:
Username: ____ Reason you wish to join: ____ High Mage you wish to Apprentice under: ____ Anything else about you: ____
Be sure to keep it in this format. Do not PM anyone or post anywhere other than this thread or your application will be ignored. Also read the High Mage/Apprentice Rules below.
Posting Rules As of Monday, January 30th, all members of [The Izzet] are expected to post a MINIMUM of once every 2 weeks. If a member does not post within that period, they will be considered unactive and put in the Portal, unless they can give a good reason, preferably prior to their absence. Playtesting Groups With Guildpact only days away, we Izzet are eager to start testing our mad, mad decks as soon as possible. We have organized a playtesting group which will primarily use Magic Workstation, but will use Apprentice on occasion. For the time being, only members of our clan will be in this group, but in the near future we may add members from other clans. Here is a list of members who have provided their MSN e-mails:
High Mage/Acolyte/Apprentice Rules Each new member that joins must choose a High Mage to apprentice under that has less than an Acolyte and no Apprentices. In the event that every High Mage has an Acolyte and an Apprentice, and a new member wishes to join, they may pick any High Mage to Apprentice under, and the first Apprentice of that High Mage becomes a High Mage with their own area of expertise. They will also be offered a place in The Council, (The Izzet elite) according to their seniority in the clan.
Awww, I'm the third!
Cool that we have a new thread!
The title is awesome too - now it's going to be easier to spot our thread between the relentless other clans' threads!
The thing about merging has it's logic, but we, the Izzet, don't need this. We are here because we love UR and we are crazy fire-minded guys. I hope even when Ravnica rotates, there still will be place for our clan, even if it will not be called defenitely [The Izzet].
ADD = Attention Deficiet Disorder. Normally people who have a lot of nervous energy and have a hard time staying on track and paying attention. I mean someone with ADD could be talking about something and then in the middle..........ooooo look something shiney.
Are you guys going to find something to talk about other than: first post! 1337 222222post! pwng3 3rd post
Yeah, in fact I'd love to know what is 1337. Ev'ryone uses this, but I hardly understand what does it mean. So I'd be grateful if somebody explained me...
Oh, I got the idea. It is defenitely my disorder. It is sometimes hard to concentrate on my work with all those MTG cards, keyrings, mechanical pencils, yo-yo's, SW poster, heaps of used paper, leaflets, clocks, CD's, mouth harmonicas, already read and still unread books, scissors, plastic models, maps, lamps, my cat, textbooks, sticky notes, copybooks, tissues, boxes, glasses, figurines, vocabularies, some pieces of food and other pretty normal stuff.
While I use internet slang alot its only the little things. But stuff like that takes it to far. I don't understand its appeal or why people do it. I think its just easier to type normaly and say what you acutaly want to say.
So anyone here made any fun casualy decks yet. I'm working on a Torch Drake deck one. But its only an idea on paper right now. It's funny I'm only doing it becasue i like the cards art to much and just want a deck where i can see it alot. maby put some magemarks in it and I duno yet really. A simple deck so far but it is casual so nothing insane just fun.
If it is just casual and you are going to have some magemarks add Drake Familiar and Galvanic Arc. When GA is actually on the creature it will get a boost from a magemark and then you can play DF to bounce the Arc which will let you recast it for the burn damage.
As of now, the only casual deck I'm working on is one to defy my friends 40 card Beacon of Creation deck. It's peasant, and it's Orzhov. Right now the only truly decked cards are
Seeing as though it's not a big deck, and since he reiles heavily on the Beacon to put out creatures, he can easily fall prey to too many discards. And since he doesn't have Coats in the deck (he took them out to prevent them from helping his oipponants) all his critters are going to be 1/1 unless he can do a suddenpump. I'm so evil it amazes me.
edit: Also his deck runs Parallel Evolutions and Doubling Season to help crank out the tokens. I think I might be tossing on a set of Mortify.
Also, the comment about the selesnya was not meant to insult the members of the guild clan on this site, it was speaking from a flavor point of view from the books. Calm down, no need to get stabby. oh wait...that's me. Ah well.
I had some trouble sleeping last night, so I tried to come up with a few ideas for the Izzet flag. One that I really liked was a book or scroll on fire. The book symbolizes the blue, while the fire, obviously, symbolizes red. The only thing that bugged me was the lack of something specifically Izzet. I then got the idea to have the Izzet insignia on the front of the book, or an a ribbon wrapped around the scroll. It seems to be a lot like most other real flags, as it's a fairly simple symbol, that can convey a variety of feelings and levels of understanding.

hmm, a flag. lemmie think, well it needs to have niv, b/c he IS the guild. i like the book idea, but we should have niv on the front and then a flash of flame behind it. i also think the book should b kind of metallic, aka. flame resistant :). i have no idea to use photo shop though, so i cant make an example.

Izzet insignia = Niv-Mizzet, for those who didn't notice. I'll try and post a MS Paint rough idea once I get home.

Dude, I made a really weird 5-color Magemark deck. It is really crazy, but if it works, it is awesome. I've played it twice. Once I was mana-screwed but if I had gotten a forest, I would have won easily; the other I had two 6/6 Gate Hounds with First Strike and Vigilance who couldn't be blocked except by creatures with defender, and if they were ever blocked, they would have gotten +2/+2. Also, if they died, they would've come back to my hand.
What kind of decks were you playing against? Running a bunch of enchantments is a fun deck to play, but what do you have in your deck to combat removal and serious loss in card advantage?
Here is my idea for the flag at its essence. It obviously needs to be worked on by someone who a) has photoshop and b) has the skills to use it. But I really like the idea so far.

So the soldiers lift their rifles and
they're aiming at the head
they think of their first love before they take their final breaths
and somewhere in the distance
they hear something someone said: "how did it come to this?"
-Streetlight Manifesto
I apologize (!) to the Selesnya...I guess. I am not sure why that was a lockable offence, but I didn't mean to cause offence - and the last selesnya guild clan would have been able to appreciate that post I made, rather than being all "I take offence to my clan being lumped into the same flavor that every source in the ravnica block makes them out to be"
I'm sorry if I did cause offence to you guys, but, come on, I truly did find it funny (in a non-offensive, DEFINITELY NON "HAHAH YOUR CLAN SUX COS ITS NOT LIKE THE BOOKS" way) how your clan differs from the prototype set by the books and card flavors.
There's nothing...wrong with that, but if you're actually going to get really annoyed by my comparison as such...well. I think the reason why you were annoyed is the particular choice of language I used?
I had to do a draft at school yesterday because not enough kids showed up again, and I once again went with the Izzet black splash. 2 Copy Enchantments and my Galvanic Arc got along pretty well with Drift of Phantasms.
Where's Faust? I think he's our 'shopper of choice.
(starts balencing vials of explosive liquids on one finger wile talking) how bout blue flames on one side and red lightning on the other side with Niv-Mizzet in the middle in his battle stace frying some unlucky or stupid sap that was seeking to talk to him

what do your worst enemy and a slinky have in common?
Only 8 more days until my deck enters it first tournament. At the moment, it only requires 1 Mindmoil for completion.
I like the new thread title too, kudos to whomever used their brain think it up.
Now, I am off to test some more experimental explosives (ie Decks) and report my findings. I urge my Acolyte and Apprentice to do the same. If anyone has a rogue deck idea, feel free to PM with the rough idea and the core cards needed. I will be gald to brew up a deck for you.

looks good. maybe the book should be opening with a glint of shining light or something. and which end of that book is the spine? im guessing those gold things may b to lock the book up, but i cant tell if theyre the spine either.
