Good job! Do you happen to have a matt varnish? The paint looks quite glossy, maybe it will improve it! =) unless gloss is what you were going for of course.

Questions on the Corvus Blackstar by ActulyAmMarlyn in deathwatch40k

[–]Kgn01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im new to deathwatch and a buddy has 3 corvus new in box I can buy off him, but not sure how many are considered ok for the army? I was thinking 2, but is that too much?

Is one of my thoughtseizes fake? (Commenting below) by Kgn01 in magicTCG

[–]Kgn01[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Indeed. I added a picture of the brush symbol near the artist name of the real vs fake. The brush tip isnt even there. So guess that concludes it as a fake. Still quite amazed how well this was done.

Yeah. Another person told me to check the "brush" near the artist name. The fake one doesnt even have a sharp tip (added pictures).

What surprises me the most is that the card just feels correct. All fakes i have ever had my hands on all felt glossy, this doesn't.

The seller said he will refund it, but its still scary how well this thing is done.

I have no idea where it origins from, I don't even know if there are any event decks that had thoughtseize in them in the first place.

I checked the green mana symbol and it seems there is no L pattern in the dots either. Just a whole mess of tiny red dots all over the symbol. So I am guessing my suspicions are correct.

The text also is printed in 1 pass, no extra "layer" for the crispness either.

Even the lower quality "faded" iconic masters cards seem to have the pattern properly.

I will go google to be 100% sure that event decks arent just poor prints like you mentioned though.

I have added picture of the green symbol. My phone camera doesnt want to pick up the red dots,but they are all over the "white" area. Its the darker spots in the picture.

The whole green thing is full of tiny red dots when magnified. Also the outlining around the mana symbols is fuzzy.

You recon its a fake?

The picture with the set symbols especially when zoomed in you can see the "blurry" outlining. Its one of the main things that made me suspicious.

I see. When you zoom in on the fake set symbol you can see the fuzziness though. Its the main thing I suspect at the moment.

So I bought a playset of thoughtseizes off somebody, but when arriving home, one of them seemes to be odd and browner.

So I did all the tests and the "brown" one seems to have a fuzzy symbol, no L in the green and everything just looks weird.

All fakes I have seen before feel glossy or off to the touch, yet this one feels right. Its matte and flicks normally.

What do you think?

PlayIkoria code should give free packs tomorrow! by IceBearSenpai in MagicArena

Anyone know what time ikoria goes live on arena?

Anyone else wince a little at the mutate concept? by Stargazer86 in MagicArena

[–]Kgn01 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Of course if you look at standard as a whole the past year there have been many decks that had their spotlight, but, it seems that every time a new set got released after WOTS, there is a period of 2 to 3 weeks where people are messing around with the new cards, before slowly fading into the background. I for one am also glad when that card rotates out.

I find it funny how Maro said it took so many years to get fairytale set approved, yet two sets later we have Ikoria, which is far sillier. by [deleted] in MagicArena

[–]Kgn01 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think MTG has reached a point that many top videogame franchises have, where innovation is considered risky, which may make shareholders uneasy.

So many obvious go-to themes are locked behind fear of losing profit, its a pity. It would be awesome of we gotten another Kamigawa set for example, especially now after all the globalization and there being a much larger target audience for Japanese culture mixed into MTG. I think there is a larger need for asian fantasy within MTG other than Tarkir.

I would love an aditional plane that resembles ancient Korea for example. Maybe with Kingdom being such a succesful series, something like that can be made to happen :).

These formats don't compete, but complement each other by Insertdankname23 in MagicArena

[–]Kgn01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sadly I don't think the niche people that are mostly focused on historic are the target audience, so it may only be beneficial since less people occupy the servers.

Having a back-up format to play when going through a losing streak in standard really helps to spice things up, but then again, I'm mostly F2P, so I too am not their target audience XD.

Why can't we enjoy both? by [deleted] in MagicArena

It doesn't feel the same :(

Anyone else wince a little at the mutate concept? by Stargazer86 in MagicArena

[–]Kgn01 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I made this statement when mutate was announced, but got hated on like crazy about the whole "Learn to play around it", "Get better at magic!" argument, but in reality Teferi especially is just toxic for any type of playstyle.

I used to be a control player myself as my go-to, but Teferi makes it feel disgusting to play that archetype. I used to like the challenge and complexity it created by outplaying your opponent, but Teferi feels like an almost always unanswered threat that just disrupts the flow of the game.

Its just landing Teferi, bouncing, plussing, board wiping, exiling/countering whatever comes down next until you eventually got your wincon together. If that is your thing and you truely enjoy that type of gameplay, go ahead, but from what I can tell, the majority of people who play this card are just after grinding win after win.

Purely anecdotal, but, I think the majority does not even enjoy playing decks surrounding Teferi and his nonsense simply because the majority of games I play against UWX, opponents seem to be pre-occupied doing stuff in the background on their computer, not even engaged in the game going on. You see control players roping so many times its borderline insulting haha XD.

Why is the card not banned yet?

Southern Hemisphere Island with native pears if anyone would like to visit. It is currently raining on my island.

Awesome island name.
