THE IMTG TIMES REPORTS

It was a bright sunny day in Ravnica. darkarts981 is still on the run, but this time more Ravnican authorities have stood up and take notice. GoJuDragon, a {Boros Guildmage}, has resolved to hunt down darkarts once and for all. He joins with scarsabrex to find darkarts.

darkarts, meanwhile, is in an Izzet factory, hoping to steal some magics for himself rather than rely on all this gross life magic. He summons some {Slitherhead}s to scout out the remaining area while he infiltrates the factory. He sees a {Nivix} guildmage resting for a bit, and darkarts spots him. darkarts conjures a {Slime Molding} to digest the mage, while darkarts changes into some snazzy Izzet clothes.

GoJu spots the {Slitherheads} and easily dispatches them with his first strike. scarsabrex soon screams, "Look!" as the Ooze from {Slime Molding} draws near. It digests the Sliterhead's corpses, growing itself. GoJu manages to declare {Martial Law} on it and navigate to the Izzet factory, where they see the naked body of the Nivix Guildmage. "His scent is around here.." scarsabrex mutters.

Meanwhile, darkarts is gleaning and stealing the magics. "These people have no sense of double examination," darkarts thinks to himself, and when he is just about to go out the back door, GoJu tries to {Pyroconverge} him. "What?!" darkarts exasperates as he runs away from the flame. "Criminal No. 3, right in our pockets," GoJuDragon smiles. He then declares {Martial Law} again, but darkarts is quicker. He waves his arms until the {Epic Experiment} occurs, crackling lightning all around. darkarts's eyes go white. "Betcha wanting to see what happens next, huh?" The lightning disappears and huge slags of metal suddenly rain from the sky. "It's the {Mizzium Mortars}!" scarsabrex yells as he flees the scene, letting the future go hot and bright for his friend.

...

The light is on JaCe BeLeReN, an Orzhov patriarch. He has managed to stay alive through shaky deals and knowledge of murder magic, and he knows soon that his deals will expire and he will die. However, thinking about his large bank account, he intends to enjoy life as much as he can. As he sips from his keg of ale...

BlackJester is suddenly at the Friendly Local Bank when he bangs his fists on the table. "What do you mean, all my money is gone?!" The bank attendant turns a smug smile. "I'm sorry, friend, but I heard that rampant corruption is going on right now - more than usual. It must be a response to the large amount of Gruul rampaging the city," the bank attendant says. "If you want, you can try to complain to my Orzhovian masters, but at best you'll be ignored... at worst your family will be killed," the bank attendant whispered. "Don't look at me. I'm just a bank attendant."

As BlackJester prowls out the door, Gorzo approaches him. "Hey, have your bank account plundered?" "Yeah," BlackJester replied miserly. "Hmm," Gorzo thinks out loud, as he pulls out his notepad. "I heard that a large patriarch named Jace is controlling the banks and stealing the money. Maybe if we talk to him, we can get our hard-earned money back. Want to join me?" BlackJester deliberates for about five seconds. "Worst comes to worst, you'll do anything." BlackJester replied.

As JaCe wanders from the church to his home, he feels an arrow strike in his robes. He goes back to look, and then a huge cleaver slams him in the face. Gorzo looks upon his dead body. "Well, those {Augur Sprees} we got from the Rakdos work quite well, doncha think?" "Well, we almost got killed.." As they begin to search his robes for any gold, BlackJester screams. He falls down, looking tortured. JaCe's ghost body rise up and BlackJester paid the {Ultimate Price}. AgrusKos, an assassin hired to kill, {Dreadbore}d Gorzo. "Whoa, hahahahaha my heart is burning..." Gorzo cheers as he dies. "That was some cruel death magic," JaCe examines. He pulls money from the air - a fine quality a ghost can appreciate - and hands it to Agrus. "You've done well." Jace grins. "You may go and party now."

scarsabrex runs and runs until he slams into a {Worldspine Wurm}. You already know his fate so I'm not going to list it here.

SUDDEN DEATH

Jace +1 (10)
darkarts +1 (10)

Only these two players are alive. One must die. One must live.

THE FINAL

darkarts981, still dual-wielding the powers of the Izzet and Golgari, slides down and watches the attempted assassination. After JaCe BeLeReN  commands AgrusKos to go and "die", he claps his hands. "Well, I'm impressed, JaCe." darkarts smiles while walking closer and closer to the ghost. "We're the best two criminals on Ravnica besides the Dimir. We can team up... or die fighting each other. What do you think?"

JaCe deliberates for a moment. "Here's a chance to form a bodyguard and get even richer." he thinks to himself. However, he's smart. He knows that his fragile ghostly body is his only anchor in life after losing his mortal life a while ago. "What is it in for him?" JaCe knows from his Orzhovian experiences that you don't ever trust anyone. So, he shake his head. "I need to get rid of my only competitor in this wealthy criminal business - you."

JaCe then goes on for a small speech. "I can buy the Dimir out - they're weak and are merely mercenaries now. The Azorius don't do anything, the Boros rarely suspect me since I'm not breaking any visible laws, the Rakdos are hireable, the Izzet are too focused on their experiments to even care about money, the Gruul don't invade my section of town, the Simic are trusted business partners, and the Selesnya don't do much. The Golgari, however, are a constant organism, difficult to control. Which means that some members can deviate, like you." JaCe prepares for a fight, arming his spells.

darkarts goes first, aiming a {Morbid Bloom} at JaCe. He knows that it will infect him and boom out a bunch of plants. However, it simply passes through JaCe's ethereal body. "Haha, the powers of etheralism are mine!" he yells, releasing a {Death Grasp}. darkarts swiftly dodges, and runs through his bag of tricks. He knows that Izzet magic will do nothing for him now since he has no time to comb through a spellbook. "Ugh," he thinks to himself. "All I have are infection spells." darkarts begins to run through a mental list in his mind.

Meanwhile, JaCe prepares a {Vindicate}. When darkarts tries a {Punishment}, JaCe counters with {Crime}. A flurry of spells ensue, until JaCe casts {Vindicate}. It seems to work, blowing up darkarts,,,

...but darkarts manages to cast an Izzet spell, {Wild Ricochet}. He takes control of the Vindicate a doubles it. "Bye bye, JaCe." The two Vindicates are aimed at JaCe, slicing through his transparent skin and crushing him through the inside.

...

darkarts981 finishs his story. "And that is how I am now one of the greatest thieves in Ravnica, dealing with all sorts of guilds. I'm not even Golgari now." darkarts pulls a cloak out. "Dimir is probably the guild all criminals defect to, and I report that as well."

DARKARTS981 WINS THE FIRST READY AIM FIRE!

His prize will arrive shortly. Thank you all who participated and I hope to do another one of these soon!
