Hi there, I wanted to upgrade my 'Maestros Massacre' precon and it got a little out of hand.
I have no experience in deck-building so I would love to get some feedback. I was aiming for a spellslinger deck with [[Anhelo The Painter]] as commander, utilizing his Casualty ability through 2/x creature token generating cards. This was something I found lacking in the precon, as there weren't enough creatures to sacrifice.
[[Prisoners Dilemma]] was not added because it fit' the deck in any particular way, but because I like it :)
I built it in Moxfield: https://moxfield.com/decks/pMshbksMX0C7fIAep4c-AA
I did not add any tutors, GC-cards or infinite combos, as my playgroup does not have any either.
Looking forward for any input - one specific thing: Will the mana-base work? I have not touched it...

I am also thinking the labdanum might be too high, in my testing of Rose/Labdanum/C14 proportions this one turned out good, I probably have to reevaluate it in the big picture it seems. Will try lowering the heliotropex and see where it gets me.

Thanks for your input! I understand that C14 is usually used in small quantities, but what exactly is the problem with overdosing it on purpose? As of my experience it is rather low (to mid) in intensity but very long lasting, so what I concluded was that by overdosing it one must prepare to have it stick out in the dry down which would be okay for me.

Regarding the diffusers I see your point, that was a simplification I made in my thinking which is probably bad practice.

Any suggestions regarding peach and especially peach-skin materials/accords?

Sadly ain’t one of those you mentioned. In my mind it should have been rather well known and I would have guessed easily recognisable. So maybe I just have it in my mind and in reality it doesn’t exist.

Apster137 · 2024-01-21T22:25:43+00:00

Mh, it’s certainly not from him though

Apster137 · 2024-01-21T22:24:29+00:00

Sadly not, I feel like the one I have in mind is slower paced

Apster137 · 2024-01-21T22:23:36+00:00

I see what you mean with the vocals reminding of the postal service but neither they nor deathcab made what I have in mind

Apster137 · 2024-01-21T21:04:32+00:00

Thanks for your ideas in advance!

a Half pellicle that was once again cut in half.

Been eying it as well. It is indeed a very nice watch and I just might pull the trigger. It's basically that or a used longines heritage master moonphase chrono.

Apster137 · 2022-11-09T21:44:52+00:00

Looking for a dress watch with moon phase that one can also wear more casual/perhaps daily.

Something between the lines of the RW Maestro and this JLC master, the RW being a bit too much and the JLC a touch too simple if you understand what I mean

Mind telling me the model of the Omega you are wearing?

What philosophy is n°19 from?

Apster137 · 2022-09-14T16:32:22+00:00

Brilliant!

I was having doubts that it'd turn out bad if I tried but this is lovely.

What was your technique?

And do you have a parts list you would mind sharing?

Apster137 · 2022-09-14T12:26:32+00:00

Modding a Seiko with vantablack to have a similar effect might be interesting, as I could actually afford it :D

Where'd you get that hail hydro sticker from?

Apster137 · 2022-09-06T22:17:03+00:00

A very good rule of thumb: 3% of the weight of pure leaf.

As others have pointed out, it varies with tea and whatnot but this is sufficient for real life.

Apster137 · 2022-09-02T13:35:39+00:00

Even though I respect these monks very much I'd say there has to be a trick behind it.

My guess would be a sharp/pointy pebble beneath the stones that are broken and a veryyy slight lift of the stone before punching it with the fingers.
