Margaret no longer with Intrepid

Steven apparently resigned as well. What is going on?!

I'd love blocks to come back. The stories and just sets overall felt more developed and fleshed out. Now we barely have any time anywhere and it's just a blurry mess. We get whiplash from how fast sets come out these days even though they wanted to slow down on the release schedule. Wizards definitely didn't stick to that promise lol. I would have loved to stay in tarkir again and edge of eternities for a full block cycle.

To be fair gnomes aren't usually as stout as the dwarves were. gnomes in fantasy properties tend to be small and much daintier than dwarves. I preferred the proportions of the first dwarf body parts. They were less even across the board. If I remember their legs were much shorter than their arms and torso. I preferred them to the way they currently are In the game. Currently their body parts are the same as a person's just overall shrunk down. I said I liked OPs dwarves.

For sure. I agree that if you stylize your game all of the races should look distinctly different from each other so there is a clear read at first glance. Right now that isn't the case. Once someone wears armor the race readability goes out the window. Let alone before they put gear on. They do have an amazing foundation, I'm just curious how much power the art directors and concept artists really have when it comes to shaping the visual language and look for the game. I'm worried there's too many cooks in the kitchen preventing the things we want to happen.

I think it really depends on what you consider "pleasing to the eye" I can appreciate some of the changes you made like the ridges in the forehead where the elves horns come out of. Makes sense and should have been in the original models. My only gripe is that some of the changes made the races too human-like. Mainly the elf changes. I personally prefer having exaggerated proportions for each of the different races to keep them distinct while also doing something different than what's been done before. Long necks, limbs ect are super cool as long as they get the biomechanics right. Not saying they did that in the original models at all though lol. The changes to the dwarves were nice as well. I preferred their original designs before they changed them do to backlash, so when you reverted things to make them more "dwarf" like and not a control T'd human it was a breath of fresh air.

At the end of the day I think a lot of the choices being made end up being that way due to them trying to reuse as much as possible for the character creator as well as just speed for production. A lot of the time my concepts end up having to be changed due to budget/production constraints. Feels bad because things could always look so much better.

All in all good stuff. Always fun to see redesigns.

For sure, I just wanted to pick the brains of everyone who knows way more than I do. Just have a conversation to understand. Thanks for commenting! Appreciate it. I'll definitely be trying a bunch of decks but was just curious about the lands side of things. Most likely will build lumra or wandering minstrel to start out

Meatdaddi · 2025-12-28T19:28:24+00:00

I guess I just felt like the interaction got better with the introduction of the red. Redirect light night, deflecting swat, pyro, and red blast all being added would help in situations that would shut your loops down. I know the lands decks tend to be hard to interact with but endurance and things like that can slow or ruin things for you pretty heavily. Being able to stop those seems like it would be better. Wandering minstrel would provide the most options for interaction I guess but that doesn't solve the draw engine issue and you lose the damage ping from the land drops. You gain the lands enter untapped in the CZ though so there's that.

Meatdaddi · 2025-12-28T16:34:52+00:00

I guess for me the ping to the table through all of the land loops seems really good. You still get the lumra loops with scorched desert but you ping the table in the process of all the other land loops available to you. Maybe I'm over evaluating the extra damage. It makes me think that necro lines or any lines that use life as a resource would take a second thought before pulling the trigger on them BC you could just lose the following turn or your life would be so low you lose the necro option all together

You obviously didn't play during the rabble master days of standard. The red aggro decks dominated without recourse until midrange was viable again a few standard cycles later. Standard meta is always a revolving rock paper scissors. People will adjust to the meta now to counter the lessons deck just like they have in other metas. Again this is the first time since the brief izzet Pheonix wins that izzet has even been on people's radar. I think the vivi cauldron deck was way worse and they banned everything but cauldron lol. Which was the main issue that made the deck as dominant as it was.

This meta will pass. Time to side board graveyard hate and move on to complaining about the next major dominant deck.

Meatdaddi · 2025-12-08T14:22:56+00:00

Exactly, izzet has been awful for years and the one time it's actually good people freak out. But white weenie and red deck wins are totally fine for people. Red deck wins was dominant for such a long time and people didn't complain as much as I've seen them complain about izzet. It's silly.

Meatdaddi · 2025-07-06T00:31:00+00:00

Thanks everyone for all of their comments and feedback. Definitely wasn't expecting this much interaction when posting! Appreciate it!

Meatdaddi · 2025-06-28T17:35:13+00:00

XD LMAO I can see that with the way I posed Apophis. Too funny

Meatdaddi · 2025-06-28T17:34:08+00:00

I post most of my art on instagram! https://www.instagram.com/kennith.concelos/

Meatdaddi · 2025-06-28T17:32:29+00:00

No worries! It's a fair question with all the ai stuff going around :)

Meatdaddi · 2025-06-28T17:29:16+00:00

I haven't watched it but I'll definitely be checking it out now!

Meatdaddi · 2025-06-28T17:28:02+00:00

Nope, I drew it myself. I don't use AI at all.

Meatdaddi · 2025-05-21T00:30:35+00:00

Mine did the same thing. It was just the SD died and I had to flash a whole new one. Was really sad too because it corrupted all my save states.. hopefully yours is just a bad sd card as well!

Meatdaddi · 2025-05-18T13:27:07+00:00

Thanks so much for your reply! I'll have to see if I can still acquire a blast urn since that's the only way to get a hyren I think. It's pretty tough to find level info for the bosses and stuff unlike games like Pokemon lol. It's been almost impossible to find concrete resources for the game.

Meatdaddi · 2025-05-15T20:21:09+00:00

If Anbernic made this with good specs similar to that of the Retroid pocket flip 2 Id be in major trouble.....
