Section 1: Membership
To become a member, you are required to submit a mono black deck list. This list can be of any format but it is to be a serious deck. (I.e. It has to be functional. I do not wish to see decks that are just black cards and Swamps mashed together, as these are a disgrace to the name [Clan Mono-Black]. Any format is welcome: Standard, Legacy, EDH, or even a casual deck built with no format in mind! There will always be someone here to be able to give good feedback.
Section 2: Rising Through the Ranks
Once you post your deck list, members will welcome you and if your list checks out, you will become one of our Minions. Once you are a minion, you are a new member. Once you become active enough (50 posts in the clan threads in a relatively timely manner (i.e. not 50 posts over the course of a few years), you will become a Disciple, and with it you will get a nifty title (that follows the style Disciple of ~, where ~ is a black mana trait)! The Praetors user group is exclusively for past Evincars, Scions, CMB tournament Champions (if your a member that is. This does not apply to members of other clans), and members who have gone Above and Beyond the Call of Duty for the Clan. Once you are a Praetor, you are are permitted to create any title of your choosing. If you are a Disciple and you manage to become inactive for an extended, unexcused period of time and you get moved to the Thrull category, your title is forfeit and it becomes up for grabs. Should you return and become active again, your title will not be waiting for you if someone else took it. You will be forced to create a new one.
Section 3: Friendship Policy
If you wish to become a friend of [Clan Mono-Black], you are only required to post. You are welcome to explain why you wish to be a friend (for example, if you are from an allied clan or if you just like black mana as a secondary color, or if your just friends with clan members here!). If you wish to to become a member after you are a friend. You will still have to follow new membership guidelines by submitting a blacklist. However, if you have already reached the magic number of 50 posts as a friend, you will automatically become a Disciple! If you were inactive or inconsistently active, you will still be required to submit 50 posts in a relatively timely manner.
Section 4: Resignations
For those members who wish to step down from the clan for whatever reason, you are to simply state it in a post. You will then be added to our friends list. Should you chose to return as a Disciple, simply state so and the members of the clan will decide whether or not to readmit you.
Section 5: Conduct
While a member, you will be expected to follow all rules of the forums. This means no advertising, no hotlinking , no spamming, no flaming, and general manners are to be used. We will also expect card tags and deck tags when you post decks. We also would like you to post in a semi-professional manner. Pretty much just follow MTGSalvation Guidelines. You are also expected to have fun around here!
7/6/10: As of now, the Behavior policy is getting stricter and will be enforced. In addition to using basic forum rules and manners, I will require that all posts have substance. No more short and pointless posts. Should behavior like this continue beyond the point of a casual warning from me or another member, I will demote you from Disciple status until you have proven that you can play with the big boys. In addition, if it continues even farther, I will report you to the mods. This is all not to be taken the wrong way, it is just a way to prove to the mods that this clan is not a problem clan and we can behave ourselves after the recent developments that occurred here.
Section 6: Exile
Should you misbehave inappropriately or disobey the forum rules, you will be asked to stop posting in this clan and will be added to the Black List.

Sadly, there were a few minions that got bumped down to thrulls, including one of the more recent recruits (maitlandpike, as he made exactly two posts 19 hours apart and never returned). Still, grats to Harbinger, Reanimation, and Oglor on disciple status! Let me know if you've got a title in mind. Also let me know if you're listed as a minion but have hit 50 posts.
Removed the link to Sister Hall as there's been no activity over there.
Not sure what to do about the tordeck situation. His last posts here indicated that he planned to be back early January, and we've just ticked over into February. I could step in as Evincar, but I do prefer the position of Scion and that would leave that position vacant in turn. Input on this is important!

I'll probably be posting another draft for the clan contest sometime today or tomorrow. If anyone wants to give me a hand and begin searching for fallen angel art. If it helps any, I designed the character to be a parallel to Lucifer the original fallen angel, so I'm looking for a male angel (fallen) but not a demon. He should be a capable warrior but not an honored one anymore. If possible he should look like he's a rogue and cutthroat. I'll continue looking myself, but if anyone wants to give me a hand, it will be greatly appreciated.
In other news, I've been working on a new cycle of Commander decks. My first actual Cycle was Alara (Rafiq, Sharuum, Sedris, Karrthus, Mayael, and Child). Now I'm going to begin working on Mono-Color. It was originally going to be New Phyrexia Praetors and it might end up being that, but I've been drawn to a few options. For Green I'm thinking either Azusa, Lost but Seeking or Omnath, Locus of Mana. For Red I'm going to go with Ashling the Pilgrim (And NOT the 99 mountain build). Blue might be Arcum Dagsson, but I feel that it might just turn into a mono blue version of Sharuum. White was going to be Kemba, Kha Regent, but I already have two equipment decks in Rafiq and Jor Kadeen and I want some variety. A part of me actually wants to do Konda, Lord of Eiganjo just so I can use it with Worldslayer. I'd of course play other indestructible things like Darksteel Plate and Shield of Kaldra.
Colorless is a problem. Why must the only options be Kozilek, Ulamog, and Karn?

I've actually got one of each mono-colored EDH deck, so I could have some input on the matter. How important would it to have all 5 generals be of a theme? Also, Dagsson is rude.
As to the art, this immediately comes to mind:
It ended up as the image for one of our card creation things.
Do you want Disciple of Suture, Sutures, or Suturing?
I've actually got one of each mono-colored EDH deck, so I could have some input on the matter. How important would it to have all 5 generals be of a theme? Also, Dagsson is rude.
Not very. As of now, its just having one of each color. I was originally going to the Praetors + Karn + Jor Kadeen to get the feeling of the War on [s]Mirrodin[/card]Phyrexia.
Dagsson is rude. But is there a fair blue general?:p Then again, so is the Niv Mizzet deck in our group so yeah. I'm actually being drawn to blue last. Right now I want to do green and then red, but if I do the Konda build as a lol deck (that might actually be decent in the end) I might go with that one first. I just need to buy a bunch of Gauntlet of Power and Extraplanar Lens....and Gilded Lotus but I never have enough of those..

I do remember him but he seems too much of the "ruler" type and as DB and I agreed upon in the last thread, we feel we want more of a person in the midst of rising up. In fact, here is one we used on one of the many cards we did for a contest that I was thinking of. Attached is that art (by sandara at Deviant Art)
EDIT: I like this one because it's in the midst of the fall.

Good art choice!
I've actually had pretty good luck with Venser, Shaper Savant as a general. There's some really cool things you can do with him and he doesn't have near the baggage that most other mono-blue decks have. For mono-green, I'd be very cautious if you choose Asuza. For one, she's got a LOT of baggage that I'd feel would restrict deck design (i.e. the 'correct' deck is too obvious), but also she's one of the only mono-green generals that will start off with you as the archenemy. As you were looking at Omnath, I'd also suggest Multani, Maro-Sorcerer. He's a very different deck but one that plays out in a similar manner, biggest difference being Multani doesn't have nearly the 'upkeep' that Omnath does. You play him, and he's huge. Greater Good/Momentous Fall/Garruk, Primal Hunter at will.
Unfortunately, i think he has moved on to better things...like the real world....:-/
Good art choice!
Thanks. Its a personal favorite of mine. I'd rather not want to use it though since it shows him vulnerable during the fall. I don't know what you guys think, but I think it might be better to show him during his revenge time.

Venser is an idea. I'll have to consider him. Blue will probably be the one that requires the most though. Multani is a good idea too.

Is that...Arthas and Illidan from Warcraft?!
About Tordeck, our leaders must be active. I think, restless, that you ought to take over for the time being. At least until we get the Tordeck thing figured out. Might have to give you emergency powers or something if you have to do a complete coup. Just don't proclaim yourself emperor...
And sweet new thread. Congrats to all our new disciples!
:shots::shots::shots:
Edit: Restless, you might want to edit the part about membership. It still mentions the title harbinger even though we're praetors now...
Things have been going good. My DKA preorder should be here today, possibly within an hour or so if I can catch the guy.
Pics of the cool stuff would be cool
Also I wish I could help with the contest but I have not been one into story telling/reading/making/what are stories?
Soooooooooo, I'm thinking about making some sort of Esper planeswalker abomination for fun. Might be worthy of taking to the GP as well
Lots of one line responses today!!! Also I've been very into my research lately so magic has been on the down low (at least for the past few days) But once I am done compiling my face detection softwear and testing it a bit, I avhe like 45 deck ideas brewing in my head (for Legacy, Standard, and Mordern) and I would love some input of the most evil being on this forum... even though most of them involve no black :/

just because it doesnt have black IN IT. doesnt mean there isnt black controlling it
Nah no thanks. You can keep your nerd thug tactics. It is ridiculous that I cant trade MY cards using MY databased list which is easy to update and manage. The mod community here is the terrible, virtual MTG brownshirt club.
This includes the preorder, stuff from the box I opened, and some trades. Everything after the Huntmasters is just in here because holy hell the art in this set.
Edit: Photobucket didn't do it justice. Trying imgur.
Had some sweet opens since DKA. Opened a Sorin in a fatpack, opened another Sorin in the fatpack I traded for and then opened a Gravecrawler and Falkenrath Aristocrat in the other.
My blue black control deck seems to do well, my only losses seem to be player error, trying to decide what to counter and what not to counter.
Thinking I might try to go over my Glissa deck now that I have 4 Gravecrawlers in my collection
not a big fan of discard for my deck so ill pass on the specter. there for a minute i thought you guys were talking bout nantuko husk. which i hate. i do like the shade. ill get some.

Hello clan. I am posting from a borrowed Nook. I have no idea when if ever my internet situation will be recovered so therestless is Evincar until i either return or a new evincar is elected. Thank you and hope you all had a great holiday season.

hmm idk, i thought it was for the rise to power. to me it seems like he might be falling to an end. just kinda what ive gathered from the thread is we want someone whos fallen, and is working his way to power. scald me if im wrong
from an artwork stance. its sick.

ALL HAIL THE GREAT THERESTLESS, HE WHO SMITES MONKEYS AND POKES OUT CHILDREN'S EYEBALLSS...since when is Valentine's a holiday season?
So since I have a fondness for my Demon Commander deck and because we're in Innistrad block how about Disciple of Griselbrand?
So it seems my idea to make a green black deck with Glissa was just a little too gimmicky. So I'm working on Mono black zombies which splashes blue for Diregraf Captain. There are too many 3 drops in the list so far so hopefully I'll be able to iron this out.

So...congrats therestless? I guess?
If you're gonna splash blue I'd want to get more than one card out of it. Maybe a few Mana Leak?
And thanks, I guess.
This does leave the #2 seat open. Anyone have nominations for the spot?
On to clan rep stuff, here's some contests that are on the table for this year. Basically the council is wanting to gauge how much interest there is in each.
On the board at the moment are the six 2012 contests;
We have on offer so far:
Card creation - Proposed by Daggertooth. Hosted by [The Called]? Or the Mods?
Hi,
Rianalnn suggested I bring this up here, here is the PM I sent:
Quote from MirrorEntity »
Hi there,
I'm not a member of council or anything, so I thought I'd PM this to you being one of chief Clanners
I was thinking for next year whether a contest like this would be viable:
-Challenge: In your clan, design a Magic: the Gathering game format (ala Star/Emperor).
-Entries graded by other clans for design & complexity, fairness for all players, and bonus points for representing your clan in some way.
It would not have to be multiplayer.
Would be happy to run it as well. Looking at old contests it seems like it would be quite simple to run, yet quite challenging and require clans to pull together.
Let me know what you think,
ME
I figure there's enough room for all clans to come up with something cool and thematic, and I'd make sure there's plenty of time for submissions as it could be an involved process for some.
Feedback would be cool; it's a bit more unique than a card creation contest. Also discussion about a rubric if/when the time comes would definitely happen.
ME
EDIT: For reference, this the simple grading system I'd likely be using (similar to CCL, a ranking system):
Each participating clan would judge the other entries based on the criteria and rank them based on this. So if there were 6 clans entered, each clan would provide a ranking of the others from 1-5. Then the organiser would reverse this into points (ie. In this case 1st would confer 5 contest points, 2nd 4, and so on. Easy for the clans to do as organiser would do the math.) I'd probly give a bonus point or two for those who gave actual judging feedback, rather than just a ranking.
Clan Chess Contest - fluffyn00b Hosting for [The Pack]
After DigicoolDad's contest, could I run one? It would be a chess tournament, using this chess program.
Cryptic Crossword Contest - Aurora Illumina hosting for [The Crafters]
Clan Mafia Contest - Emo_Pinata hosting for [The Family]
Card creation contests are fun, but the judging of the last one was messily done. I brought up my concerns on that point though, so will presumably be fine.
I've no idea why there's a new council banner contest. We had a contest for that in 2011 and the current one is great, though perhaps shy a flamingo.
I welcome you to the 17th thread of Clan Mono Black. Innistrad is right up our alley as the fall beckons us to a new darkness. Suffering and darkness shall rule forever!

Current topics for discussion are, but not restricted to: deck discussions, pro tour events, drafting, entertainment, current events, your lives, and dark plots to take over the world, and how we will will rise to rule Innistrad!

BBBMembership GuidelinesBBB
Section 1: Membership
To become a member, you are required to submit a mono black deck list. This list can be of any format but it is to be a serious deck. (I.e. It has to be functional. I do not wish to see decks that are just black cards and Swamps mashed together, as these are a disgrace to the name [Clan Mono-Black]. Any format is welcome: Standard, Legacy, EDH, or even a casual deck built with no format in mind! There will always be someone here to be able to give good feedback.
Section 2: Rising Through the Ranks
Once you post your deck list, members will welcome you and if your list checks out, you will become one of our Minions. Once you are a minion, you are a new member. Once you become active enough (50 posts in the clan threads in a relatively timely manner (i.e. not 50 posts over the course of a few years), you will become a Disciple, and with it you will get a nifty title (that follows the style Disciple of ~, where ~ is a black mana trait)! The Praetors user group is exclusively for past Evincars, Scions, CMB tournament Champions (if your a member that is. This does not apply to members of other clans), and members who have gone Above and Beyond the Call of Duty for the Clan. Once you are a Praetor, you are are permitted to create any title of your choosing. If you are a Disciple and you manage to become inactive for an extended, unexcused period of time and you get moved to the Thrull category, your title is forfeit and it becomes up for grabs. Should you return and become active again, your title will not be waiting for you if someone else took it. You will be forced to create a new one.
Section 3: Friendship Policy
If you wish to become a friend of [Clan Mono-Black], you are only required to post. You are welcome to explain why you wish to be a friend (for example, if you are from an allied clan or if you just like black mana as a secondary color, or if your just friends with clan members here!). If you wish to to become a member after you are a friend. You will still have to follow new membership guidelines by submitting a blacklist. However, if you have already reached the magic number of 50 posts as a friend, you will automatically become a Disciple! If you were inactive or inconsistently active, you will still be required to submit 50 posts in a relatively timely manner.
Section 4: Resignations
For those members who wish to step down from the clan for whatever reason, you are to simply state it in a post. You will then be added to our friends list. Should you chose to return as a Disciple, simply state so and the members of the clan will decide whether or not to readmit you.
Section 5: Conduct
While a member, you will be expected to follow all rules of the forums. This means no advertising, no hotlinking , no spamming, no flaming, and general manners are to be used. We will also expect card tags and deck tags when you post decks. We also would like you to post in a semi-professional manner. Pretty much just follow MTGSalvation Guidelines. You are also expected to have fun around here!
7/6/10: As of now, the Behavior policy is getting stricter and will be enforced. In addition to using basic forum rules and manners, I will require that all posts have substance. No more short and pointless posts. Should behavior like this continue beyond the point of a casual warning from me or another member, I will demote you from Disciple status until you have proven that you can play with the big boys. In addition, if it continues even farther, I will report you to the mods. This is all not to be taken the wrong way, it is just a way to prove to the mods that this clan is not a problem clan and we can behave ourselves after the recent developments that occurred here.
Section 6: Exile
Should you misbehave inappropriately or disobey the forum rules, you will be asked to stop posting in this clan and will be added to the Black List.
Be sure to check out our own Handbook.

Removed the link to Sister Hall as there's been no activity over there.
Not sure what to do about the tordeck situation. His last posts here indicated that he planned to be back early January, and we've just ticked over into February. I could step in as Evincar, but I do prefer the position of Scion and that would leave that position vacant in turn. Input on this is important!
Oglor's a Disciple
Please, a round on me
As for the name, how about Disciple of Suture?
I'll probably be posting another draft for the clan contest sometime today or tomorrow. If anyone wants to give me a hand and begin searching for fallen angel art. If it helps any, I designed the character to be a parallel to Lucifer the original fallen angel, so I'm looking for a male angel (fallen) but not a demon. He should be a capable warrior but not an honored one anymore. If possible he should look like he's a rogue and cutthroat. I'll continue looking myself, but if anyone wants to give me a hand, it will be greatly appreciated.
In other news, I've been working on a new cycle of Commander decks. My first actual Cycle was Alara (Rafiq, Sharuum, Sedris, Karrthus, Mayael, and Child). Now I'm going to begin working on Mono-Color. It was originally going to be New Phyrexia Praetors and it might end up being that, but I've been drawn to a few options. For Green I'm thinking either Azusa, Lost but Seeking or Omnath, Locus of Mana. For Red I'm going to go with Ashling the Pilgrim (And NOT the 99 mountain build). Blue might be Arcum Dagsson, but I feel that it might just turn into a mono blue version of Sharuum. White was going to be Kemba, Kha Regent, but I already have two equipment decks in Rafiq and Jor Kadeen and I want some variety. A part of me actually wants to do Konda, Lord of Eiganjo just so I can use it with Worldslayer. I'd of course play other indestructible things like Darksteel Plate and Shield of Kaldra.
Colorless is a problem. Why must the only options be Kozilek, Ulamog, and Karn?
Bought a Dark Ascension fat pack though. Pulled a Sorin, Lord of Innistrad which is nice.
Do you want Disciple of Suture, Sutures, or Suturing?
I've actually got one of each mono-colored EDH deck, so I could have some input on the matter. How important would it to have all 5 generals be of a theme? Also, Dagsson is rude.
As to the art, this immediately comes to mind:
It ended up as the image for one of our card creation things.
Not very. As of now, its just having one of each color. I was originally going to the Praetors + Karn + Jor Kadeen to get the feeling of the War on [s]Mirrodin[/card]Phyrexia.
Dagsson is rude. But is there a fair blue general?:p Then again, so is the Niv Mizzet deck in our group so yeah. I'm actually being drawn to blue last. Right now I want to do green and then red, but if I do the Konda build as a lol deck (that might actually be decent in the end) I might go with that one first. I just need to buy a bunch of Gauntlet of Power and Extraplanar Lens....and Gilded Lotus but I never have enough of those..
I do remember him but he seems too much of the "ruler" type and as DB and I agreed upon in the last thread, we feel we want more of a person in the midst of rising up. In fact, here is one we used on one of the many cards we did for a contest that I was thinking of. Attached is that art (by sandara at Deviant Art)
EDIT: I like this one because it's in the midst of the fall.
Hi SA and TheRestless.
I don't post here too often. It's odd seeing my at the top of the line of disciples. I'm proud of it!
How has everything been going?
EDIT:
I need more cards with art like this, I want a new signature and I love those!
EDIT2: Where is Chubbs?
Good art choice!
I've actually had pretty good luck with Venser, Shaper Savant as a general. There's some really cool things you can do with him and he doesn't have near the baggage that most other mono-blue decks have. For mono-green, I'd be very cautious if you choose Asuza. For one, she's got a LOT of baggage that I'd feel would restrict deck design (i.e. the 'correct' deck is too obvious), but also she's one of the only mono-green generals that will start off with you as the archenemy. As you were looking at Omnath, I'd also suggest Multani, Maro-Sorcerer. He's a very different deck but one that plays out in a similar manner, biggest difference being Multani doesn't have nearly the 'upkeep' that Omnath does. You play him, and he's huge. Greater Good/Momentous Fall/Garruk, Primal Hunter at will.
Well they're certainly not arranged alphabetically.
Things have been going good. My DKA preorder should be here today, possibly within an hour or so if I can catch the guy.
Inferno (either art really), Incinerate (all, like, 12 of them)
Hi!
Unfortunately, i think he has moved on to better things...like the real world....:-/
Thanks. Its a personal favorite of mine. I'd rather not want to use it though since it shows him vulnerable during the fall. I don't know what you guys think, but I think it might be better to show him during his revenge time.
Venser is an idea. I'll have to consider him. Blue will probably be the one that requires the most though. Multani is a good idea too.
Is that...Arthas and Illidan from Warcraft?!
About Tordeck, our leaders must be active. I think, restless, that you ought to take over for the time being. At least until we get the Tordeck thing figured out. Might have to give you emergency powers or something if you have to do a complete coup. Just don't proclaim yourself emperor...
And sweet new thread. Congrats to all our new disciples!
:shots::shots::shots:
Edit: Restless, you might want to edit the part about membership. It still mentions the title harbinger even though we're praetors now...
Pics of the cool stuff would be cool
Also I wish I could help with the contest but I have not been one into story telling/reading/making/what are stories?
Soooooooooo, I'm thinking about making some sort of Esper planeswalker abomination for fun. Might be worthy of taking to the GP as well
Lots of one line responses today!!! Also I've been very into my research lately so magic has been on the down low (at least for the past few days) But once I am done compiling my face detection softwear and testing it a bit, I avhe like 45 deck ideas brewing in my head (for Legacy, Standard, and Mordern) and I would love some input of the most evil being on this forum... even though most of them involve no black :/
Ready for the apocalypses? The dark side is always open
just because it doesnt have black IN IT. doesnt mean there isnt black controlling it

Funniest thing ive heard on here.
Was told to update list with haves
Good catch! Fixed.
This includes the preorder, stuff from the box I opened, and some trades. Everything after the Huntmasters is just in here because holy hell the art in this set.
Edit: Photobucket didn't do it justice. Trying imgur.
How about some classics?
Nantuko Shade
Hypnotic Specter
Had some sweet opens since DKA. Opened a Sorin in a fatpack, opened another Sorin in the fatpack I traded for and then opened a Gravecrawler and Falkenrath Aristocrat in the other.
My blue black control deck seems to do well, my only losses seem to be player error, trying to decide what to counter and what not to counter.
Thinking I might try to go over my Glissa deck now that I have 4 Gravecrawlers in my collection
not a big fan of discard for my deck so ill pass on the specter. there for a minute i thought you guys were talking bout nantuko husk. which i hate. i do like the shade. ill get some.
i dont run equips and dont like the resticts AND echo on the bone, ide rather keep the stillmoons instead, lol.

Shouldn't be hard. It went from a $7 rare to a 50 cents rare after M12
I'm surprised they didn't commission some new art when they did M11, actually.
The Family
meh i dont care about pricing except some card are way to flippin expensive. its stupid
hmm idk, i thought it was for the rise to power. to me it seems like he might be falling to an end. just kinda what ive gathered from the thread is we want someone whos fallen, and is working his way to power. scald me if im wrong
from an artwork stance. its sick.
i kinda like this one

congrats to the new disciples. pick some good names harbinger and reanimation.
ALL HAIL THE GREAT THERESTLESS, HE WHO SMITES MONKEYS AND POKES OUT CHILDREN'S EYEBALLSS...since when is Valentine's a holiday season?
So it seems my idea to make a green black deck with Glissa was just a little too gimmicky. So I'm working on Mono black zombies which splashes blue for Diregraf Captain. There are too many 3 drops in the list so far so hopefully I'll be able to iron this out.
So...congrats therestless? I guess?
I'm important internet peoples now!
Good luck though. Hope you get that all sorted out.
Done.
If you're gonna splash blue I'd want to get more than one card out of it. Maybe a few Mana Leak?
And thanks, I guess.
This does leave the #2 seat open. Anyone have nominations for the spot?
On to clan rep stuff, here's some contests that are on the table for this year. Basically the council is wanting to gauge how much interest there is in each.
We have on offer so far:
I've no idea why there's a new council banner contest. We had a contest for that in 2011 and the current one is great, though perhaps shy a flamingo.
The design-a-format contest sounds awesome.
I have no input on the other three.
