First off, I was a part of this clan a few years back. I left due to issues that came up during a change in the website server. Since then, I went clan searching, trying to find other clans that had a similar atmosphere of friendliness (since i thought for sure my chances of getting back in here were shot), and I couldn't find any. So I tried to start my own community. What made me throw that away was the fact that I constantly ran into the issue of other people ruining the image of the community. So I threw that idea away too. About a month ago, I started realizing that the reason I was having so much fun in this clan was not because of the sole fact that I was in a clan, it was because of the people in it; and it is because of these people that I'm here once again, asking for forgiveness and to be allowed back in once again. I will deliver my formal reapplication at a later date; I feel it is appropriate to post here first and hang out with you guys a bit before I re-apply.

That's about it! I hope to be able to rejoin you all in the very near future.

Good to see you back around!

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone!

Welcome back Zanis. I play MTG too Are you up to date on the Core Sets?/What kind of decks do you run?

I actually just got started about a month ago. I picked up a blue/white Core 2011 intro pack and used that to get started. I've since modified that intro pack and made it blue/white Control. I also picked up an Innistrad fat pack soon afterwards and used that to make a red/green Burn deck. It annoys the hell out of my friend who loves artifacts to death. It's also fun getting a ton of werewolves on the field and then spend a turn doing nothing so they all transform. Those are my only two decks, I'm planning on getting a Star City Gold Collection soon and using that combined with the leftover Innistrad cards I still have to try a few other ideas I have, namely an Infect deck or maybe something involving black since I don't have a black deck yet. Hell, if I can I'd like to try making a black Infect deck =p.

God, just yesterday I played a mill deck that had a bunch of Traumatizes (http://magiccards.info/m11/en/77.html). I couldn't counter them because I was playing my red/green deck which has no counterspells.    One of my friends runs a deck that's seems similar to your black zombie token deck. There's nothing more awesome than seeing someone swing with 20 2/2 zombies.


Other than MTG I've also been getting into Street Fighter. Anyone here have SSFIV for Xbox?

Ugh, I'm sorry. There's a reason I keep disappearing. It's because if I forget to check this every once in a while, I suddenly become afraid to because I fear that there will be disappointment generated by my being missing for a few days. I know I shouldn't expect anything like that from you guys.

That said, I'll try to be more active. It's not that I don't want to, it's that if I don't check this every once in a while, I have to force myself to. I think it's because of me being mildly autistic / socially awkward, but I don't know.

Sorry about this "serious business" post. I'll try to keep these to a minimum. Also, sorry for the topic revival, if this would be considered one.

When the Minecraft server is updated, I will try to get on that.

See ya.
