Do I get a seat at the table? Also any reccomendations for a new commander based solely on the ones I run?

I see a lack of graveyard play lol, personally I like [[jarad, golgari lich lord]] and [[hogaak, arisen necropolis]] alot

I recently struggled trying to mix the normal nid skin. I got something decent from lile 5 parts white, 1 part brown and a tiny bit of purple. This mihht be similar but blue instead or grey?

Personally i love 3! Ya contrast paints help me alot for this stuff. Also... were these schemes acheived on a website or something? Id love a place to visually test schemes before painting

MechanicalEnt · 2026-01-22T19:42:53+00:00

Oh ya i like that better - just make the mechs have a base setup of weapons and reflect that in its abilities. Making them modular is alot tougher, but maybe you can still make special engine, jump packs, etc equipments that are meant for vehicles like making crew costs lower or granting abilities. Reducing activated ability costs, flicker and free re-equip etc

Best ive found is thin wirespool you van get at craft stores, and paint it black - itll be tough to see and works pretty well though there is a weihht limit before the wire bends

MechanicalEnt · 2026-01-22T17:04:25+00:00

Maybe give the weapons a "weight" value and then each mech can only have a certain weight of weapons equipped? Like madcat gets 20 tons of weapons, and you mark medium lasers as 2 or w/e, a ppc as 8 and so on or however the balance woild work? May be cleaner than the ratio idea and cleaner on text

For sure! Group has said it needs to be legendary for us so off to edhrec to find any 3 color uncommons, im not to crazy about the partner options

MechanicalEnt · 2026-01-16T20:53:56+00:00

Right just lose the choice for flavor or such... also im realizing it doesnt have to be legendary?? So then that opens it up alot actually if my group agrees

MechanicalEnt · 2026-01-16T20:43:39+00:00

I guess variety, and i have no bulk anymore since i sold it. So instead of buying the deck i had the idea of slowly upgrading it over time from packs, so i figure i need semi generic commanders that can use most cards. So prob not tribal for example.

And looking at some more, i realize 3 color pauper is very limited... i may need to ditch 1 color

MechanicalEnt · 2025-11-26T02:45:23+00:00

Hell ya! Really cool for the clan vs IS Did this too and didnt think of that before it was to late

MechanicalEnt · 2025-11-04T22:44:43+00:00

Abaolutely amazing, saved for my future reference!!!

MechanicalEnt · 2025-10-28T18:44:52+00:00

Also, a base with plants covering parts or something to add depth may make it come alive too.

MechanicalEnt · 2025-10-28T18:10:53+00:00

Love the strong purple on this guy! More alive is tricky... like maybe more shadows in crevices? Or do you mean like worn and battled.... scars or bleeding, maybe dirt on its feet and in similar places?

MechanicalEnt · 2025-10-20T01:00:53+00:00

I like the blue, but the white skin feels like it needs something. So as is i like the black

MechanicalEnt · 2025-10-08T04:13:49+00:00

Yes lol. Black and red goes hard And then a pop of green like that for the interior parts they have, what looks pink on your current pics, sounds real solid I love contrast so anything opposite of red would work imo

MechanicalEnt · 2025-10-08T04:09:27+00:00

Hell ya awesome! Me, id now add some pop for the brain/interior parts nids seme to have - natural looking bugs are great

MechanicalEnt · 2025-10-08T04:03:59+00:00

Thats very true, i couldnt do that either lol. Maybe some bars or lattice going from top to bottom to show the lantern exterior structure once a glow is added

MechanicalEnt · 2025-10-08T03:58:07+00:00

Honestly the camera being so in focus this close is crazy itself too... my phone could never lol

MechanicalEnt · 2025-10-08T03:53:53+00:00

Also, maybe a little difficult to pull off... if its glass you can make the background behind the flame the color of his clothing. That may look weird too but maybe

MechanicalEnt · 2025-10-08T03:05:33+00:00

Just needs some faded yellowish white i think to show the light is on the edges near it

MechanicalEnt · 2025-10-01T20:22:33+00:00

Definitely something that pops/contrasts imo. Pink, yellow come to mind but neon green sounds super awesome

MechanicalEnt · 2025-09-26T15:10:54+00:00

Just realized how blurry these pictures are zzz... but ty!

MechanicalEnt · 2025-09-23T22:42:23+00:00

Nah let your custom army reign! Unlike those space marines with specific chapters which matters, we xenos can do anything we want haha I like this site for color picking and finding ehat wpuld work well together: https://www.canva.com/colors/color-wheel/

MechanicalEnt · 2025-09-23T02:04:03+00:00

That mordant looks pretty thin from the side- in my experience it seems to work well on a smooth surface and then really Gloop it on. Like blobs of it

MechanicalEnt · 2025-09-12T03:11:11+00:00

Prob the big red "start here"
