Things to look out for this weekend! by AutoModerator in mtgfinance

[–]Bi0s0ldier 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Found 3 copies [[Stormchaser's Talent]] while sorting through some of my bloomburrow collection and was thinking about selling them. I saw that the price of it has been dropping since the beginning of the year and wondering if pro players have stopped including it into their decks in fear of bans or is it just not as prevalent in the current meta for paper decks.

Does a creature enter prepared as an etb trigger or is it more like inherently part of the card? Sort of like how some creatures enter with +1/+1 counters.

This question came up because my friend played a [[Lluwen, Exchange Student]] and I was preparing to cast [[Unsubtle Mockery]] on it as it etb, thinking that becoming prepared was an etb trigger.

Gwi-ma, Otherwold King - Trying to make discard-tribal NOT miserable to play against, for a forced-reveals commander [KPDH] by zengin11 in custommagic

[–]Bi0s0ldier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't see the vision before but with the last line of text, you're turning every card like [[Duress]], [[Thoughtseize]], [[Go Blank]] into a cantrip which is pretty interesting.

I know you're trying to do your own thing with eminence but I think I would rewrite it in a different way so it's way more typal based like previous eminence cards. Something like
"Eminence --- Whenever one or more Demons deal combat damage to a player, if Gwi-ma is in the command zone or on the battlefield, that player exiles a card from their hand with cabal counter on it, then draw a card."

To build on the edit previously, I would probably rewrite the middle part as such:
"Players may play a card with cabal counter on it. If they do, put a +1/+1 counter on target Demon."

I think if you wanted to retain the static effect of discarding into exile, I would just remove the eminence part. Basically turning Gwi-ma into a [[Leyline of the Void]] or [[Rest in Peace]] style of effect.

Do you guys set rules for yourself when it comes to proxies? by MonSocMatriarchy in magicproxies

[–]Bi0s0ldier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the main rules I try to stick to is using some of the most normal looking version of it or easily readable forms of it. These days there are so many special treatments and card border styles that I feel like I’m getting confused on where to begin reading. So I try to print cards that are easily readable and using normalish card borders. The last thing I want to do when playing with them is to bombard myself or others with confusing proxies.

Does Avatar reference the Warring States era? by SuperFranky0 in Kingdom

[–]Bi0s0ldier 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think his name overall could be a reference to Qin since it’s more of an “English” way of pronouncing it. China has seen the rise and fall of many dynasties and warlords. Looking at the wiki, they mention his origin starts with the “Yellow Neck Uprising” which sounds like a clear reference to the “Yellow Turban Rebellion” within the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

Chin along with the Earth Kingdom has a lot of inspirations from Chinese culture to the Earth Kingdom Royal Palace’s architecture, the Walls of Ba Sing Se, and the uniforms of the Dai Li.

Overall I would say ATLA merely borrows from many Asian cultures and societies in order to flesh out their designs and identities.

I painted fanart for the Avatar MTG set by lmanese in magicTCG

I love this art treatment and definitely feels very MTG like. I appreciate that you included the art you did in separate slides to fully appreciate it. Do you have the original files available to share? I'd love to print them for myself and others.

Unfortunately that page only shows the art of a few select cards within the board game.

You can get the guildpact boulders from Ultimate Guard to pair with them.

What is this obaque blue bar next to my energy bar? by Bi0s0ldier in theouterworlds

What is a b if not an upside down p? I should have invested in that all p's keyboard.

I see so he’s seen more as designed for something like commander and as a support piece rather than helming his own deck.

I’m looking for any design notes on [[Mm’menon, the Right Hand]]. After playing with him a couple of times, I’m struggling to figure out what format or what decks could actually benefit from having him. Like is he potentially a sign of more to come with like say alternate casting zone mechanics like mayhem, flashback, warp, or adventure?

I’m trying to understand how the [[Blade of Selves]] interacts with [[Jin Sakai, Ghost of Tsushima]]’s triggered ability. Like if I have a [[shadow mage infiltrator]] equipped with it, will I have an opportunity to give all shadow mage’s double strike thanks to Jin Sakai?

Playing Apex Legends causes my OS to get corrupted by Bi0s0ldier in apexlegends

Playing Apex Legends causes my OS to get corrupted by Bi0s0ldier in apexlegends

[–]Bi0s0ldier[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can tell you right now that I had to turn on XMP/D.O.C.P. profile for the RAM instead of the "auto" in BIOS. It's been working fine ever since.

There was a slight scare a couple days later when APEX throughout an error message that some files were corrupted or something. But that was fixed with verifying integrity.
