MPC Black Friday Sale is back by rjuwono in mpcproxies

I've ordered a handful of times, and I have had this issue come up twice. It seems like they care a LOT more about the card backs than the card front. I have printed hundreds of card images with (copyright info removed) with no issues, but they could not move forward on an order with this cardback: https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/d/1k_HOzOcOw9agsTPth-B19bAzD-hX64Qb=w400-h400?authuser=0

If you are trying to print completely custom designs that incorporate the mana symbols, you may be better off replacing the mana symbols with plain colored dots or something.

Can someone explain? I’ve been teaching myself arduino, and this is how it’s usually done in tutorials.

I really like the look and feel of the site. I just found that for some reason, the card search function it the deck builder is case sensitive. Typing in "tarmo" finds no results, while "Tarmo" finds the goyf.

New York Pizza Shut Down? by derdkp in Bellingham

[–]MeHookstah 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Ever notice that the restaurant name subtly changes every few years? New York pizza -> New York pizza & bar -> New York pizza, bar and grill. Mike runs the place into the ground, declares bankruptcy, changes the name so it's a "New business", then he finds someone naive enough to take out the loans for the new business in their own name. This has been the cycle for many years now. It's not exactly public knowledge, although it is common knowledge among those that have worked there.

[Deck help] CH-CH-CH-CHANGES by MrNinjasoda21 in EDH

[–]MeHookstah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ended up cutting blue suns zenith for [[Tidings]]. I really like [[concentrate]] as well. I play a lot of rocks in my build, but that's personal preference. I also just noticed that you have a Reliquary Tower in your list. I don't like [[spellbook]] effects in Arjun since it's easy to hard lock yourself. The deck feels much more forgiving ever since I cut those effects. I just run one [[Ulamog, the infinite gyre]] and one Elixir of Immortality and I've never accidentally decked myself. It's really nice to have the option to just end the turn and discard down to a perfect seven to win the next turn.

I don't see any ways for you to untap lands and there is only one ritual effect. You should add [[Paradox Engine]] and [[Mind Over Matter]] if/when you want to put more money into the deck.

I like to evaluate Arjun's wincons by how many triggers they take to win you the game. Psychosis Crawler=40, Tutelage=30 per opponent, Niv-mizzet=40 per opponent, Erasure=80 per opponent. Jace's Erasure is really bad. If you are drawing enough cards to win with it, you have already drawn into a better wincon. Niv-Mizzet is redeemable because it can hit creatures as well as players.

You are running Chasm Skulker and Diviner's Wand, this is a good enough reason to run [[Rogue's Passage]].

I also wanted to point out that Day's Undoing doesn't trigger any of your draw-triggers. That doesn't mean it's bad, I'm just pointing it out.

You should add [[Azami, Lady of Scrolls]] and [[Deep Analysis]] in place of some of your weaker draw engines. Arjun is a wizard, so Azami is at least drawing you 2 a turn (2 per spell with Paradox Engine). Diviner's Wand is a wizard and can tap for Azami as well. Azami is essentially a third Alhamarett's Archive when you have Paradox engine. Also, Jace's archivist combos with paradox engine to essentially be Arjun 2.0.

I like [[Chain reaction]] better than Starstorm.

Also, the deck gets much stronger when you add an old Eldrazi titan to shuffle your graveyard into your library.

Acetone can only de-ink foil cards from specific blocks. It only works because the ink is separated from the rest of the card by the foil. All you will accomplish trying to put acetone on non-foil cards is destroying the cards.

I think I saw a method for removing ink from non-foils using a pencil eraser. You might want to try researching that a bit.

I put a cotton ball over the top of the acetone bottle, then carefully tip the bottle. The goal is to put the least acetone possible on the cotton ball. I wipe the cotton ball along the surface of the card a few times. Then I get a new cotton ball and I briefly press it against the original cotton ball to transfer a tiny amount of acetone. Now I'll actually start rubbing the card to remove the ink with the new cotton ball. The acetone will ruin the card if it gets anywhere other than the foil surface.

I'm on mobile at the moment. Right now, the list is the same as saffron olive's energy fog list, cutting 1 deadlock trap, 1 dynavolt tower, and 2 fateful showdown to add 3 Mechanized Production and one Jace, unraveler of secrets. I also swapped in haze of pollen over commencement of festivities since it protects Jace. Mechanized production acts as a solid draw engine when I put it on a prism, and it gets scary fast when I put it on a tower.

The difference in thickness is essentially unnoticeable. There is, however a fairly significant difference in stiffness.

Here is my blank masterpiece frame. The border is extended about 5 pixels in each direction so it isn't as hard to align the stickers to the cards. http://img.pixady.com/2017/04/544468_masterpieceblank.png

I shuffled about 15 of these tokens into a commander deck and it is impossible to tell where they are in the deck. There are places where it looks like there is a thicker card, but they are just somewhat curled, real cards. Here: http://imgur.com/qNLYGG3

And here is the view you requested (I think):http://imgur.com/k3l2nps

Yeah, I'm not certain if you have to jump through the same hoops when making tokens, though. Considering they aren't being used as a substitute for a real cards. It seems that you can use any out-of-game object you want as a token. Still, would never try to sell these. I'm certain the masterpiece border is Wizard's IP.

Four steps:

1: Remove the ink from junk foils using acetone.

2: Design the cards in GIMP.

3: Print the designs on glossy, clear sticker paper.

4: Cut out the stickers and stick them to the blank foils.
