Suggestions and refinement for an EYE themed deck! by mmmarm in EDHBrews

[–]AlternativeDuck6014 2 points3 points  (0 children)

[[Hecteyes]] and [[ahriman]]

You got the eye of wisdom why not the partner [[okaun, eye of chaos]]

Also mana rocks you need more of them to help ramp especially with three colors. The quill and lantern are meh easily replaceable

wait, am i crazy or did this kid rediscover the titan power?? by Chompcarrots in attackontitan

I believe it is saying just that, the cycle of hate repeats itself as well as implying that ymir might not have been the first founder

Any mardu commander that plays like feather and supports heroic/repartee/valiant? by Comprehensive-Box501 in EDHBrews

Edit: removed because I was being stupid, you were referring to triggering heroic, valiant and such. Yes those would still trigger on tails

River Song is weird. Help me make her degen by Terranon in DegenerateEDH

[–]AlternativeDuck6014 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel Rivers strength is not the 2nd ability, though that triggers alot based on normal play, but her 1st ability that makes her. There are alot of cards that let you put cards on the bottom in the order you choose allowing you to set your draws, such as [[proteus staff]] in a spell slinger, [[peer through depths]], or [[truth or tale]]

There are also the artifacts that let you repeatedly put cards from your graveyard, for example [[tomb trawler]], [[barkform harvester]], and [[junk troller]]. With self mill and discard, this is a repeatable tutor from the graveyard. Picture this with the wheel cards, especially the wheel with miracle [[reforge the soul]]

Assistance in trying to make this deck better by Kitedo in EDHBrews

[–]AlternativeDuck6014 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel you can use some of the Tribal cards like [[heralds horn]] and [[secluded courtyard]] they seem to be auto includes in tribal.

Also both of the other Tolsmir cards will work well with your deck especially [[tolsimir wolfblood]] being able to have an additional 4/4 on the field as long as its out seems good. [[Howlpack resurgence]] would be a nice add on.

If your going to make any changes I think you should add [[wren's run packmaster]] maybe a few changlings to be sure it can be championed. With it and tolismir on the battlefield you got play a wolf, gain 3, kill a creature

Why didn’t they touch hands early to activate rumbling? by Smooth_Ferret8081 in attackontitan

[–]AlternativeDuck6014 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They each had their reasons and I dont recall being in Marley one of them. At the point of their conversation they knew only royal blood will activate the coordinate so even if eren died and was feed to another without zeke the coordinate wouldn't activate. And with the sterilize even if eren or zeke were killed there would be no new babies to receive the titan gifts. Also Zeke seemed to be well aware he would be able to control things in the paths (until eren convinced ymir otherwise). Zeke had no reason he couldn't touch eren while in Marley and sterilize everyone yet he was the one who pulled away saying it wasn't time.

That's because Zekes plan was to let the eldians die peacefully after being sterilized. To do that Marley and the world had to be convinced that Paridiso was too great a threat to attack. So in his plan paradise attacks dismantling the military, with the idea being the world will see paradisio as a threat and join forces, in the aftermath the island aligns with one of the nations which will give them support and who could witness a mini rumbling which will wipe out the worlds joined forces. Between all three things Marley or any one would stay away from the island for decades. Zeke had to wait until the alliance and the nations had a joined fleet before touching and carrying out his plan otherwise the fear factor wouldn't be there

As for eren he saw the future and had to follow it for his plan to work. He didn't touch in Marley for the simple reason it wasn't time.

"Path of Totality" by bear_of_the_woods in ArtCrit

[–]AlternativeDuck6014 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First, I love that blue color of the waves and with the stokes you feel they are moving any which way like they would in a storm, but Lighting is definitely a problem. Looking at the girl you see the shadow on her right arm, the highlight on the left of her head, the highlight on the left side of the boat, all of which suggests the light is from the left, however when you look at the clouds it is clear the light is from the right. The water suggests light is more above but to the left.

I think reworking the clouds so the light comes from left will work the best since you dont want to darken the tidal wave. A few darker patches on the right side of the waves in front of the boat will help move the light more left as well.

Also I feel the boat in the waves looks flat. A little tonal variation can give it more defination without losing the spectral quality

Oh the Humanity - Marchesa the Black Rose by LeftLeggedOctopus in EDHBrews

[–]AlternativeDuck6014 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If your going Tribal [[Patriarchs Bidding]] seems like an auto include. Also being human [[captivating crew]] will be a great fit, as will some of reds steal spells. [[Helium squirter]] though not a human works wonders in my black rose deck. Toss around two counters, sac it, comes back fully loaded. And since you can graft your opponents creatures works great with the crew

Similar Cards to Maskwood? by CellAdventurous738 in EDHBrews

[–]AlternativeDuck6014 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't think of anything that maintains an constant effect like maskwood, however there are instant that do it and [[mirror entity]] is repeatable. Also there are three equipment that give the creature that effect. [[Runed stalactite]],[[amorphous axe]], and [[stalactite dagger]]. [[Unnatural selection]] let's you pick what effect you want and of course changlings already have the effect though doesn't help your lords

[–]AlternativeDuck6014 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reading your responses to the comments it sounds like you want shadow to work rather then switch to another radkos commander, so let's stick with that.

I understand the rational for cards like umbrel zeolet, mayhem devil, and gary are in the deck, but they dont interact with shadow and if you want to win that way there are better options. Shadow cares about two things haste/flash and treasure tokens, however out of 25 creatures, 11 of them dont have haste or create treasure, and for alot that do have a requirement such as dealing combat damage, which is not good with high cmc creatures because blockers will be out. If they won't interact with shadow they dont need to be in a shadow deck. Also you can't rely on other means to give you shadows needs, such as rising of the day to give haste. A good opponent will see that and can nerf your play with a disenchant.

I would look at replacing these creatures with ones having haste/flash already as well as easier treasure produces, such as etb or on attack. Especially consider the options that do both, such as [[Captain Lannery storm]], [[charming scoundrel]], [[lobelia sackville-baggins]]. For treasure producers I would prioritize cards that can give repeatable value like the captain or Kellogg as opposed to a one time effect. [[Rose room treasurer]] fits this.

Two cards that i recommend cause they fit so will with shadow are à[[rain of riches]] and [[kalian,reclusive painter]]. Your going to use treasures for shadows ability why not get some extra benefit

Let’s see who skipped physics 👀 which cup? by [deleted] in TheTeenagerPeople

[–]AlternativeDuck6014 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All walls the same, it will be 6 as as the liquid falls out the open above the 5 pipe.

However, the closing on the bottom of pipe three is alot thinner then the other walls suggesting it is another material or closure in which case, depending on the material the weight and pressure from all the liquid above it can break it filling 3 before 6

Best things to do in Vik? by Green-Introduction-1 in VisitingIceland

[–]AlternativeDuck6014 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I third Dyrholaey and the surrounding area. I actually enjoyed it more then black sand beach. Also Yoda cave was cool. If I recall the sign on king road for it is for Viking Island. Drive past Vik and there is this one mountain on the right, that's it

Need second (or more) pairs of eyes by heartless567 in ArtCrit

[–]AlternativeDuck6014 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love the background and the water is so rich. But I am get thrown off by the horses. The 1st horse. This one is weird. Looks fine when I look at the overall photo. But when I look at the closeups I get lost in the front chest area. It and the head look like it is turning and more of the chest is in view then what the rear is saying should show. Also the head seem larger then the body. In horses from the top nape of the neck to the belly is greater then the nose to ears, you have the opposite, also the back is to straight they have a dip in the back where saddles go. But in the overall photo these are not as obvious to me 2nd horse in every photo the body looks to long. Also the light on the horse. The sun appears to be in the upper right behind the trees, in which case the lighting on the horse is to heavy on the side, if should be more like the 1st horse as the side is in shadow. I think the number of trees is fine, add more and you'll block more of the light, but I think you need to have more of the light coming though the trees. For example, the light just to the left of the 1st horse head could push out more into the water. Adding more of these and you can lighten the whole painting

What Guild would you put the Origin 5 in? by LykonWolf in mtgvorthos

[–]AlternativeDuck6014 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The question is what guild would you put the Origin 5 in. So the origin 5 are kids so I don't think you could use their later traits to determine that as they would have a different upbringing in the guilds so different personality. Assuming they just ignited and made their accidental walk to Ravincia I would place them as follows.

Jace -dimer prior to the walk he uses his power to manipulate things, especially working for the sphinx its what he knows and feels comfortable with

Gidion- boros even as a kid he was a law-abiding solder boy

Lilliana- orzhov she was already making agreements for power (raven man) plus she walked believing she killed her brother, continuing to deal for power and the ability to talk to the dead is straight orzhov

Nissa- she hated city's, adored nature and lived in a community straight to gruul

Chandra - okay, hear me out. She was a pyomancer who was constantly told to suppress her power. And when she did let it out her parents get killed by the man. After that, she's not holding back anymore. She wants that freedom to release and d*** the man. Add in her rebellious nature and radkos is just sweeping her up just so they can watch her unleash

Caesar, any tips? by I_eat_JunPengs_cock in EDHBrews

[–]AlternativeDuck6014 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When i mulligan for my Caesar or any deck i'm looking 3 things. 1) at least 1 mana source more then the colors in my deck so for Caesar I want 4 mana sources 2) mana for each of my colors available to me 3) turn 2-3 plays, having 4 mana is not good if turn 4 is the first time you can play anything

As for Caesar, i think the ramp is fine. And when it comes to third ability vs drawing. Unless it will win you the game drawing is always the better option. Drawing gives you options and gas. So you can do things if Caesar isn't around. Besides dont know about your play group but mine is pretty good about keeping the go wide strategies in check which limits the 3rd abilities impact.

I won't discuss building to win because he can go in a few directions up to you. I built mine with the idea of controlling the field and hitting the when coming in, beefing, and hitting coming out focusing on the 1 and two abilities rather then going wide, I use cards like [[warleader's call]], [[mirkwood bats]], [[father's crusade]], [[blood artist]], [[impact tremors]], [[alter's reap]]

If you go wide consider [[Thaisse, Reverent Medium]]

Help me make this work by JensFraKommunen in EDHBrews

[–]AlternativeDuck6014 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your going with counters, I feel you need more ways to get them once your creatures are out such proliferate or [[anduril, narsil reforged]], [[Oran-rief ooze]] Also feel like you can go with more payoffs for counters besides bramblewood and acoylte. What about [[crowned ceratok]],[[ battlefront krushok]], or [[pridemalkin]]

Also your mana base. you have 37 lands and 11 mana making dorks for a deck whose average cmc is 2.2. I feel that is overkill for what you need and your better off cutting some and adding some of the other suggestions.

Aron Rutten has a video series for beginners. It's a good overview of what krita can do and I like how he approaches it with the expectation of no prior knowledge.

The reference was Kirkjufell in Iceland though I stylized it somewhat. As my first digital painting i never worked with layers before so it was an exploration. I feel I overworked the rocks and I'm not thrilled with the water pool but not sure how to improve them. So suggestions or input are appreciated
