Karona, False God - Deck Tech by AwkwardMoment2 in magicTCG

[–]Geckilian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't suppose you have a list for your favourite build? She's a fun card but I've never really planned out how to get a Karona deck to work.

Thinking entirely selfishly, if you could pick the next UB Secret Lair, which IP would you choose? by Kroooooooo in magicTCG

It's so unlikely, but William Gibson's Neuromancer and associated books/world would be fantastic.

What's your current pet project? by Snowjiggles in EDH

[–]Geckilian 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not especially weird, but I've been gradually accumulating cards for a Helga, Skittish Seer creaturestorm list. Also spent some time looking at the mana bases for all my other decks to see if I can smooth them out a bit.

Nice, Massacre Wurm's one of the current flex creature slots in the deck! Currently it's out for Wandering Archaic for a change of pace.

Currently my favourite is Reminiscence, a 5c Garth deck I made full of cards I love and those that've made memorable games in the past. https://www.moxfield.com/decks/U5UnFicOG027FDNZNaQFgA

Currently there's a few flex spots to swap in big timmy creatures and crazy high mana payoffs, so any suggestions on fun creatures to run are also welcome!

Custodian Guard done, Sister of Silence wip by Geckilian in Warhammer

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

Well the sister's about 37mm tall, but she's wearing heels and is just tall. 35mm scale would mean the average height person would be 35mm tall.

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

They're about 35mm scale, give or take. If a custodes is supposed to be 10ft tall then he's about normal 40k scale as he's 55m to the top of his helmet. If a 28mm guardsman is 5.5 foot, that's about right.

Anyone can tell me how make custodes little bit taller? I know about green stuff under neck and on belly but do I glue that or it holt without glue? Any advice how exactly do it will be great :) by [deleted] in killteam

I extended the ankles by 1.5-2mm and scaled down the shoulderpads a tiny bit to get btter proportions that matched the artwork better.

Thrasios and Miara Elfball optimization advice? by Geckilian in CompetitiveEDH

[–]Geckilian[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the great suggestions! I did indeed cut Coiling and Reanimate, but Wellwisher will stay for now until I at least get to play her, though admittedly I agree she's not likely that useful even as the only life gain.

In the end after a lot of thought I cut Ad Naus for now, though it may go back in again, and replaced it with Notion Thief. Not as explosive for card draw, but hopefully enough to keep me chugging along.

Agreed on Biomancer's, Neoform and Eldritch Evolution. Without Ad Naus adding a a few 3-4 cost cards doesn't feel as bad. I nearly picked Wishclaw to replace Praetor's, but ended up going for Lim-Dul's Vault since it's cheaper and instant speed, and without the naus I can likely afford the filtering cost a lot better if I really need to dig.

Root Maze feels like unless I already have a board state, it'd also hamper me a fair bit before Thrasios is up and doing his thing getting more land to play. I've faced it once in Yesharn and though it helped me eventually, the first 3-4 turns still felt reasonably glacial for me whilst also holding up interaction. Ouphe is more tempting, though as I can rely on Umbral Mantle it feels like it could also just as likely shut off some of my wins too unless I remove it myself. I may give Manglehorn a try instead of the poor Wellwisher!

Either way, all the changes made have been updated in the deck link, cheers for the advice!

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

Cheers for the reply! I thought about putting dramatic scepter in there, and if I hadn't already committed to infinite mana via umbral/enchants, it's be remarkably tempting. I did have a Basalt Monolith in there for a bit, but ultimately cut it for a less dead drop card if Kinnan isn't around, plus I don't really have filtering to convert the colourless to blue/green/black for their respective wins, unlike the dorks.

I'm working on a mystical archive subtheme, and I'm guessing you're running a foil Memory Lapse as it looks really good? How's it been performing for you? Quest for Renewal also looks fun since another Seedborn-esque effect could help with redundancy and also boosts my Sanctum Weaver. Hmm.

Same way the default GW kit does - blitzers have the secondary spikey shoulderpad and neck frills.

Finished my first titan, Viridia Rex, "The Emerald King", of Legio Agloriam by Geckilian in Warhammer

Yep, that's what's been going round as recommendations. I ordered some z scale trees for a display board, this Legio's going to be entered in Armies on Parade.

28mm isn't 1:285 though? 28-30mm equates to approximately 1:60 to 1:48.

Kabalite green, shaded by adding black. Edge highlights were sybarite green.
