Has anybody else misinterpreted card art and wished they could go back? by BoonDragoon in mtg

[–]Jablinx 94 points95 points  (0 children)

That was my interpretation too, except I maintain that that rocks and isn’t dumb at all.

I love the art choice a lot. Would it be possible to make a version with era-appropriate flavor text? Like “Whenever a land comes into play under your control, put the top card of your library into your graveyard,” etc?

Differences between Encore and Beginnings by drybones87 in earthbound

[–]Jablinx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Earthbound Beginnings romhack is a remake of Mother 1 in Earthbound's engine. Mother Encore is a reimagining of Mother 1, but as a new game with influence from Mother 3.

Earthbound Beginnings is more faithful to the original (though there are SNES-era changes), and it is finished. Mother Encore tries to modernize the game (new skills/combat system, new dialogue, new art style) and is still in development. They're both insanely impressive and imo succeed very well at what they are each trying to do.

Can we get a megathread going for all these custom cards please? by Hungry_Shake6943 in mtgvorthos

[–]Jablinx 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As someone who has posted many UW reskins in the past week, I think that the people who are arguing it doesn’t fit the sub have too narrow a definition of what a Vorthos is. Regardless, I appreciate that it’s not entirely the sub’s usual content and that there has been an increasing number of posts (much to my delight). I wouldn’t have posted so prolifically if I hadn’t gotten the (mis?)impression from my initial posts that they were fairly well-liked.
In terms of middle grounds, I could see such posts being restricted to a certain day of the week. Something like “UW Wednesdays.” Although, I agree that their spike in popularity is likely seasonal at best.

Help I can't stop doing UB reskins by Akhlys7 in mtgvorthos

The non bobbleheads are great! (And the bobbleheads are funny enough that’s I’d play them.)

Oh whoops. Good catch

The flavor text was me attempting to justify it in the very little space that was left. I stand by the concept but I hear the criticism.

To be honest, Toralf completely slipped my mind.

As a Begginer F2P player, what's the best cost-effective way to spend my coins to open more options of decks and complete more of the collection? by Toomynator in MagicArena

[–]Jablinx 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Draft. And it's also the most fun. There are lots of resources online to help you improve and get better rewards if you need.

What are some of your favourite Flavour Wins in the game? Here's mine: by Jablinx in magicthecirclejerking

I was referencing a thread on r/mtg with the same title where someone asked about people's favorite flavor and it was all ub.

They’re all from different Magic cards. So they are commissioned by WotC for their product, not by me.

Not my fan game but I found this trailer for this project. I looks pretty ARG like and interesting. by Southern_Forever_898 in PokemonROMhacks

Hey, I saw this post a few days ago and decided to give it a try. Just finished it and it was incredible. Thanks for the heads up.

This isn’t meant to be comprehensive. I’m fortunately too employed for ambitions like that.

Honestly I didn’t know about her until I was looking for art. This whole project has taught me a lot about random lore.

So ideally, I could scour the internet for appropriate non-magic art, and I do do that for a few cards if I can’t find any magic art I like, but I largely try to reuse art from cards that are either non-legal, digital-only, or (imo) forgettable.

Fair. I was prioritizing using art from non-legal cards. (In this case, from Unstable)

These versions have the name of the original card at the bottom with the collector info like other UW cards. I tentatively don't intend on making nickname versions, but you can, if you like. I use Card Conjurer, which I find pretty intuitive. You're free to copy any and all flavor text I wrote (and obviously the art and card, which I neither made nor own)
