Claydol, Claydol, Claydol, they made you out of...clay!

With the imminent change in the Modified Format, we will be saying farewell to our old friend, Claydol from GE.
It's been a staple in most decks for the past three years and many players have never had to make a deck without it!
In honor of what it has meant to the game, here's a little song to remember it by.

If you don't recognize the tune, you can click on the link to listen to the melody if you wish to sing along!
Enjoy!

Claydol
Claydol

Claydol
http://wmp.emusic.com/samples/asx/so...4/17709664.asx
I had a little Claydol
It helped me find a way
To get the cards I needed
So Claydol I did play!

Oh - Claydol, Claydol, Claydol
It helped me find a way
To get the cards I needed
So Claydol I did play!

It had a lovely Power
That got me a new hand
So I will miss it dearly
From Modified it's banned!

Oh - Claydol, Claydol, Claydol
It helped me find a way
To get the cards I needed
So Claydol I did play!

My Claydol's always useful
Unless you've got a Spray
Or if you had a Gengar
Then Claydol made your day!

Oh - Claydol, Claydol, Claydol
It helped me find a way
To get the cards I needed
So Claydol I did play

I thought it was on my list of "Rejected Song Parody Ideas", but I guess not:

10. Bitter Tiers
Parody of “Bitter Tears” by INXS
9. Ditto Eevee
Parody of “L.O.V.E.” by Ashlee Simpson
8. 2 Surskit Who Knit
Parody of “2 Legit 2 Quit” by MC Hammer
7. Bad Game
Parody of “Bad Day” by Daniel Powter
6. I Fought the Lawman
Parody of “I Fought the law” by Sonny Curtis and The Crickets
5. Takin’ Care of Gorebyss
Parody of “Takin’ Care of Business” by Bachman-Turner Overdrive
4. LudiBack
Parody of “SexyBack” by Justin Timberlake
3. Ain’t No Other ‘Zam
Parody of “Ain’t No Other Man” by Christina Aguilera
2. Blame it On Walrein
Parody of “Blame it On the Rain” “by” Milli Vanilli
1. All My EXes Live In Texas
Parody of “All My Exes Live In Texas” by George Strait



Then again, it did have "Blame it on Walrein", and I did actually end up writing that one.

Not bad, Pop. Maybe you and I can get an act in Vegas.

I'm glad for two things regarding Claydol leaving the format...

1) A Jewish song finally getting some kind of limelight, even if it's just a parody song.

2) No wine and cheese party about how losing Claydol will completely wreck the format. I seem to remember insane topics about Pidgeot when it left, and I'm just glad those topics haven't really shown up for Claydol.

In the traditional sense, as am I.

In the internet message board twitter blog troll sense, there aren't enough letters in the word "no" to adequately express the "no"-ness of my response.
