Ravnica:: City of Wolves! [game begins!]

[Duos]

*snip*
I can see why they banned slivers after TS, though. Such a pity.... I never bought any TS, and now nobody wants to play my sliver deck because they got banned in tournaments.

This is EXACTLY what happened to my ravager/affinity deck, I feel your pain. Although, Ravager/affinity was so brokenly strong, they banned the ravager, its cleric, its lands, its pets, its mother, its uncle Earl... There's horror stories everywhere. On a related note, did you see the name of the next expansion? http://www.wizards.com/magic/images/...A_logo_640.jpg
I think they saw this thread. ^.^

1. My brother always plays slivers, and I kick them in the teeth on a consistent basis with peasant decks. Y'all are clearly doing something wrong.
2. Alara has been out for a while now, actually.

[Duos]

Really? None of the locals stores have it. And I don't have the time to drive an hour each way to the nearest big card shop... I'm slowly falling out of the loop. Help me! I don't want to be one of those guys who talks about how much better everything was back when people traded Shivan Dragons for Moxes!

[Griever]

I'll replace your autolynch.

[Wreckingrocc]

:(

Not starting yet?

[Uncle Festy]

>.<
I was totally not being really lazy this weekend.
Assuming all goes well (and that's not a given, considering the number of tests I have this week), the game will start tomorrow.
Now I just need to remember all the stuff I was going to ask Alarra about…

[Uncle Festy]

So, um, yeah. Recruitment is over.
I'll ask Alarra to randomize the roles (I'm not very good at it) and then the game will start (I hope) tomorrow.
This is taking a while, isn't it…

[PhantomFox]

pieces of paper and a hat. Always works for me.

Ok, well, I won't be here tomorrow or until Sunday, so could you not auto-lynch me please? That would be nice, thanks.

[Uncle Festy]

((All role PMs are now out. If you don't have one, PM me.))

"So… tell me, what is our status now that the Sisters have been… eliminated?" Savra sat behind her desk, speaking to her second in command.
"The guilds are gearing up for war, Queen Savra. All of them."
"I must say, I'm unsurprised. This city has been a bubbling mass of high tensions for centuries. This is no more then an excuse to do what everyone's wanted to do for years."
"Shall we join them?"
"I don't see why not. After all, what kind of evil leader would I be if I didn't send us to war at the least provocation?"
"Not a very good one, my Queen."
"That's what I thought." Savra drummed her fingers on her desk for a few moments, which made an odd *click*ing sound. "Is everything ready?"
"Just about."
"Good," she said. She stood, and grinned – not that there was any other position her face could take. She stepped forward, her feet clicking on the floor. And Savra, Litch Queen of the Golgari, walked out of the door.

Day One Begins!
Day One Ends Saturday, In Just Under 72 Hours

((Note – the Djinn Illuminatus has been added to the game to create a 4th member of the Izzet. See the first post for more details.))

[Skippy]

A goblin walks in the alleys of Ravnica, trying not to get himself killed, but also seeking to make himself a living, and trying not to end as food for a dragon.

Knowing not what to do or where to go, he strolled aimlessly around the city.

[Helgraf]

Al-Harad regarded the bustling city with a jaundiced eye. So much life, so much death. Colors twisted on the breeze, caressing all they touched, swirling and knotting, writhing like a nest of serpents.

It was a bad omen. Yet opportunity might be found in such times, and so might the dune be ascended.

[Madmal]

virusoid.

the plant-like lifeform wanders around
virusoid.

[banjo1985]

The small furry animal wonders into the game and begins to rub against furniture. Said furniture promptly disintegrates.

Mildly curious about thes events, the small furry animal begins to rub up against Ganurath to see if it happens again.

[Jontom Xire]

Hmmm - with so many factions, the first day point becomes worse than ever.

I point at Helgraf, and hope he isn't a potential ally.

[Duos]

The Transguild Courier is not working properly. we blame Aemoh for this problem.

[Dirk Kris]

A young, attractive woman wanders into town, careful to avoid the cold white light of the moon. She carries herself tall, proudly. A thick golden bracer adorns her left arm, something she constantly pulls her sleeve over. She wears a hooded cloak, shoulder-length blonde hair free about her face. She absently tucks a strand of hair behind one ear, revealing a slightly pointed tip. Seeming to remember something, she pulls her hair back down, ducks her head, and keeps going. She seems to have a destination in mind, but not a path, as she keeps changing directions. She bumps into a goblin (radikalskippy) and barely notices him. One cool gray eye peers over an aristocratic nose at the sky for a moment before she ducks into an alley to watch the more open square ahead.

((totally random, BTW))

EDIT: Oooooooh, bandwagons. Helgraf, I choose you!

[Wreckingrocc]

A well-kept man enters from some unknown part of town. He looks intelligent and quite agile. Bits of frost are speckled across his head, slowly melting under the heat of the city. He looks about to see the small goblin aimlessly walking around. "Are you lost, my friend?" The man asks. "I know this city fairly well, and I could give you directions should you require it. What is your name, and to what guild do you hold your honor?"

[Murska]

I point at Shadowcaller as a traditional "I don't have a clue but he's in the game, right?" point.

@V Throne of bones? What a waste. Bones are good building material and can be used to create barracks, storages, nice carvings, but they're not that good as thrones. And skulls? Well, maybe one or two but I certainly don't need ALL of them...

[Shadowcaller]

I point at Shadowcaller as a traditional "I don't have a clue but he's in the game, right?" point.

((You don't have a clue?!

Don't make me laugh Murska, we all know that your planning to take over this entire city and use our skulls as materials for your throne of bones.

Edit: Hey, I even got proof, behold Murskas true form!))

[DarkCorax]

The winged man flies up to one of the tall spires and looks over this sector of the sprawling city. On the ground far below he spots he spots a man, Tired N' Drowzy, talking to a goblin.

[PhantomFox]

I don't know anything about this setting, though I'm going to look it up soon. Until then, Ganurath

Meh. That version is faulty, and all.

Besides, I gots the whole set, green, red and blue. Not yellow though, it looks crappy. And they're not on the internet and I can't bother to host 'em so I can't post 'em here.

[Heroic]

I point at Murska

[Mordokai]

No you don't!

[Murska]

Actually, he did. Just over in Smash Bros.

[Heroic]

Now I did

[Ganurath]

Hmmm - with so many factions, the first day point becomes worse than ever.

I'll second that point at Helgraf in an effort to counter the multiple points at yours truly, and to prevent potential competition from having access to his genius.

Also, for those who are confused by Malmagor, virusoids are the mindless mooks of the Simic Combine. Dismantling doesn't kill them, though, as scene in the third book. I wonder if fire would prove more effective. They are rather moist...

[Shas aia Toriia]

A lone man walks around the city. That's all, just a man. No deep arcane magic. No planeswalking spark. Just a man.

So far.

As he's walking along, he bumps into Ganurath.

Pardon me, sir, but watch your step, or it won't be yours much longer.

((Sorry 'bout that, just the day 1 random guessing.))
