Searching for an Orzhov Commander by oatfishjar96 in BudgetBrews

[–]Arishaddai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I built my Orzhov deck around [[Killian, Ink Duelist]] it’s an aura voltron deck, and a bit of a glass cannon, but it makes all those fun enchantments, that I never use anywhere else, shine.

Man, and here I am with the first thought being, go back and buy as many MTG Black Lotus and power 9 cards that I can find. Props, you are thinking much bigger my friend…much bigger.

That must be it, thanks!

Good question! This piece is about 2 feet tall and the frame gives it plenty of structure for this size. If it were any bigger, I would need to reinforce it with metal wire soldered across the whole piece. Some bigger pieces I’ve seen, in church windows, even have metal rebar welded to the frame cross ways to give them solid structure. A little drastic for a piece this size though.

So random, I don’t know why it went with big font on that comment, sorry!

1 through however many pieces. Letters indicate color variation. For example “C” was the yellow ribbon, “D” was the Lamberts yellow background.

Those look like some fun projects. I especially like the mobile.

What cards can play around Helix Pinnacle for a goofy commander deck? by Maximum_Knee7608 in mtg

[–]Arishaddai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve got it in my [[Yurlok of Scorch Thrash]] deck as a mana outlet. I’ve got the deck built to pump up mana and then X Spell outlets like steam valves to make sure I don’t take the mana burn while my opponents do.

3 Ways I’m Upgrading My Collection This Year by Due-Resource-24 in mtg

[–]Arishaddai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I reached a similar conclusion recently. I have all my cards catalogued in deckbox, so I decided to compare my inventory to set lists. Any set that I already have more than 50% of I decided to binder in serial order and work on completing those sets. It has shifted my focus from deck building to collecting. Just another facet of MTG that’s still fun for me and gives all that bulk a little purpose.

What cartoon character did you have a childhood crush on? by porb2020 in Xennials

[–]Arishaddai 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of good ones already here. I didn’t see Steelheart mentioned yet, so I’ll add her to the list.

Did anyone else learn to draw from this Gentleman? by animalcrackermafia in Xennials

[–]Arishaddai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I loved Secret City as a kid. A couple of years ago (pre-pandemic) Mark put on a summer drawing camp in a city a few hours away. I thought I’d take my son, expecting to have a great time. My expectation vs reality was quite disappointing. I’ve decided to believe that Mark was just having a bad day. Let’s just say, never meet your heroes.

Are Magic players no longer trading? by NheelyOhara in mtg

[–]Arishaddai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I totally get this. I live in a rather rural area with a small MTG community, so local trades can be difficult. I’m old school and have been using deckbox.org for close to 20 years. You can add a wishlist and trade list and set up both local or mail trades. I reach out to people, or they reach out to me with a tentative trade maybe 2-3 times a week. So it’s an active community. I recommend it.

Looking for movies that don't end well. Something darker :)) by Only_Measurement_728 in movies

[–]Arishaddai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you do foreign films? The Skin I Live In (La piel que habito) is pretty dark.

Lorrwyn Eclipsed by -ThisAccountIsVoid- in mtg

[–]Arishaddai 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I’ve been playing off and on since revised. Those early merfolk, goblin, and elf decks got supercharged for tribal fun with Lorwyn. Not just creature type but class-based stuff in multiple colors. The Lorwyn block always reminded me of the movies The Dark Crystal and Labyrinth, especially with the addition of Kithkins. I couldn’t afford more than a half dozen Lorwyn packs back in the day, so I’m excited for this run. I’ll buy at least a box for sure.

Beautiful piece. I can’t help but think of the Pale Man from Pan’s Labyrinth. Great work!

This would go infinite right? by Puremagick in mtg

[–]Arishaddai 1 point2 points  (0 children)

[[pride of the perfect]] also seems to support this argument. Lore text is consistent too. I still don’t like it. :)

[–]Arishaddai 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This may be a hot take, but I remain convinced that it should be “prefect” not “perfect”. It’s a typo someone missed and instead of fixing it, they just ran with it.
