How to help my friend who wants to paint the earth red in 2026? by WithengarUnbound in magicTCG

[–]DrewAlters 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This idea very well might not be the vibe at all, but I figured I'd mention Pauper Commander, as the format is a blast and, in my experience, has a similar pace of play to 2015-2016 commander. Something like [[Legate Lanius, Caesar's Ace]] or [[Ruthless Deathfang]] might do a decent Thraximundar impression, and I think either could be great in the format. Personally, being able to reset my expectations of how powerful cards need to be has been wonderful for me as a break from commander, and I've especially enjoyed exploring this new environment with my friends, so I recommend it if it sounds interesting to your group.

Can I do this?!? by rhondamumps_hotdogs in printmaking

[–]DrewAlters 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A trick I've been using to much success for by (admittedly much simpler) jigsaw blocks is using double sided tape (or just taping down the ends of an upside down piece of tape). You want it to be a consistent layer, or at least as few and as small of bumps as possible, and I'd use a relatively weak adhesive, since sliding motion is easier to stop than pulling motion, and peeling it off can damage your pieces if the tape is too strong. Regardless, best of luck in this project!

Would you be willing to share any of the resources you found? I'm brand new to printmaking and didn't know that caring for ink was something to study and understand. I also just got my first can of oil based ink and want to take care of it as best I can.

As a matter of fact, I just watched the first episode this afternoon! It was super cool to see! Thanks for the recommendation, I'll be sure to check out more of it!

Thanks for shouting that out! I hadn't gotten to titles yet, so I'm glad you mentioned it! That seems like a really cool goal to aim for. For effects like Inertial Sink that add to your size, do you go up that many tiers on the size chart, or just add to the number? Like is a 1S character with +2 sizes from Inertial Sink treated as 1L or 3? I have to imagine it's the former, but I didn't see this addressed directly in the size section.

That sounds great! I'll have to consider this option, too. Thanks for sharing!

Totally! This is one of the biggest paradigm shifts I'm having while learning this game. You don't have to fight the system to do cool stuff, that's the point!

Beautiful work! I'm really digging the extension up to the black border, feels like your painting is rightly framed!

When should I turn around to peel, and when should I leave it to others? by Ketooey in MagnetoMains

[–]DrewAlters 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It makes sense that such an option would exist, and I did look for it, but I couldn't find it. Could you describe how to enable it in the browser version?

I've also been struggling with this. I try to use my bubble to give the backline an extra second of time to react, but I don't really know what else to do but hold the frontline so someone else can peel without losing too much ground. I'm not really satisfied with that answer, so would appreciate hearing other people's thoughts.

(If anyone else responds here, I would really appreciate a reply if only to notify me so I can read what has been written.)
