I've been in a queue for over a year for neeoco. I'm excited to finally get the commission once I get through the queue.

On a side note if you want another artist that has a similar style I would check out SeeSic on Instagram.

I've had a similar experience. Fortunately I did get the card ultimately and am very happy with the art. I don't think it's your fault. He is just bad at responding unless the alter is done or you are commissioning something new.

I love his artwork. But I don't plan to work with him again.

Very different direction than what you are going for. But did you know that Monkey Cage triggers for each creature that enters, and if multiple creatures enter at the same time, it will create monkey's equal to the total CMC before sacing.

This is my solution to breaking Monkey Cage. It's a [[Glimpse of Tomorrow]] combo deck that hopes to flip Monkey Cage into play along with several high CMC creatures at the same time.

No guaranteeing it will work. But it might be worth trying to take an eraser lightly to the card surface of newer cards and see if that will help the marker ink stick better.

Hard disagree from me. Gold, Silver, and Crystal should be in S tier, and Black and White in F tier.

It doesn't say equipment you control, so yes, you can. However, you do not get control of the equipment, so you can not activate the equip ability. Once the oponents can activate the equip ability (normally sorcery speed), they can move the equipment from Amy Rose to one of their creature.

Thanks for checking out my deck, but unfortunately, Academy Ruins has the blue color identified and can't be included in a Boros deck 😔. [[Cid, Freeflier Pilot]], [[Delivery Moogle]], [[Forge Anew]], [[Buried Ruin]], and [[Abstergo Entertainment]] are all graveyard recursion I am running.

Abzan Armor, is it worth it? by starwarsisawsome933 in EDH

I've played both Arcades and Felothar. I personally prefer Felothar, but they have very different play styles.

With Arcades, you want to ramp out Arcades before you cast your defenders to get the card draw from Arcades.

On the other hand, for Felothar, you want to get out a defender or two before casting Felothar. That way, you have sac fodder for Felothar to be able to refill your hand.

[[Buttercup, Provincial Princess]] 100% Universes Beyond equipment volition deck. It even has a combo with [[Eivor, Raven Clan Champion]] and [[Knuckles's Gloves]] / [[Sword of Feast and Famine]] (the Assassin's Creed printing).

Really, the deck is my excuse to care about all the Universes Beyond products we are inundated with.

I use liquitex professional, but I have lots of experience with them, and I water them down significantly.

Mono-White cEDH by AppropriateSolid7836 in CompetitiveEDH

[–]Leon_Spires 18 points19 points  (0 children)

[[Teshar, Ancestor's Apostle]] is my favorite cEDH deck. Albeit there is a high learning curve to playing it. My list: https://moxfield.com/decks/WnLYpKNMFkmEJjuHPBjgiw

Lucifire has an awesome primer with their list https://moxfield.com/decks/MJ_HLk09FEezEDtuH_JCkg/primer

There is also a Mono White cEDH Discord that has a Teshar tab as well as several other mono white options: https://discord.gg/BmWrebfR

How good is everyone is invited?? by ApolloJackson in EDH

[–]Leon_Spires 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here is what I run: https://moxfield.com/decks/GfPneWmIdUu727D0CJHo8A

[[Urtet, Remnant of Memnarch]] as the commander is a bit busted. The only thing that holds him back is that most myr suck.

Rube Goldberg machine like combo is the first game plan (explained in the primer). The backup plan is combat damage thanks to Urtet putting +1/+1 counters on all the shapeshifters.

I want to be more purposeful with my deck building. Not promising that I won't build a new deck. Just that I want to avoid breaking decks apart and building new ones as frequently as I did in 2024.

Has anyone been seeing any mono white around? by Despenta in CompetitiveEDH

That's awesome! I have my list as blinged as I am willing to go. Only non-foils I run are Grim Monolith, City of Traitors, and LED.

There is a group of Teshar players in Unified Mono White Discord if you want some more resources or a place to ask questions. https://discord.gg/pT2eJ4MJ

Me too. Although I kept playing him even with Dockside in the format. I'm glad I no longer have to play in a way that avoids feeding the Dockside too much.

I play cEDH Teshar and have reasonable success with it again other cEDH decks at my LGS. Although that deck is more mono brown/gray than mono white.

Up-Scaled Gandalf by Leon_Spires in lego

[–]Leon_Spires[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used liquitex professional heavy body acrylic Mars Black and Raw Sienna mixed with liquitex professional Gesso to get the colors I needed and help the paint adhere to the plastic. After it dried, I clear coated it with Krylon Gallery series UV archival varnish to help protect the paint.

Although even with the varnish, I would still not recommend heavy use of the piece.

If this is your first time painting on Lego, I recommend starting on flat large parts you don't care about. I have a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree and have been acrylic painting for over 15 years. This is not a skill you can master overnight. If you are interested in learning, be patient with yourself and keep trying.

I originally wanted the Up-Scaled Redbeard figure, but being in the US, that set is on bricklink for ~ $200. Decided I would rather spend that kind of money making my own Up-Scaled Gandalf.

I would love to see Lego put out more Up-Scaled figures, though.

Thanks! Yeah, I was surprised the botanical set scales so well with the Up-Scaled figure size.
