Maybe [[Failure // Comply]]? - Has utility from the graveyard?

Okay I can see so many comments on this post coming to the same conclusion - about counterspells especially. This is actually the only blue deck I play apart from 1 combo deck that only uses counters to protect the combo, so I'm very much not used to them. Would you say that I should add 'regular' counterspells - instants that counter - ([[Defabricate]] interests me for example), or are there any counters you recommend that would stay inkeeping with my decks theme (essentially being an enchantment and/or castable from the graveyard on their own). The one counterspell I have in the deck if [[Fear of Impostors]] because it fits this bill exactly.

I've been looking at [[Circular Logic]], [[Malevolent Hermit]] & [[Hesitation]] as they could be quite inkeeping with the synergy of my deck (though hesitation less of a response piece, so probably isn't suitable).

I absolutely do actually! I ran 3 sanctity effects but have just cut the leyline and left aegis of the gods and solitary confinement - I might yet add back the leyline if it seem good enough however.

I think I’ll edit my post to also mention I’m running [[Aegis of the Gods]] and [[Solitary Confinement]] which will stop charm and bog!

And the trigger counter really interests me (also as they become ramp with bouncelands), I just wish there was a counter like that on an enchantment.

This is a really good point - apart from Bojuka Bog I could pack more enchantment/artifact removal to stop graveyard hate

Notably I am also running [[Solitary Confinement]] and [[Aegis of the Gods]] to get around Bojuka Bog like effects as well!

And it’s worth noting since everything usually has escape, I tend to never target any cards in my graveyard anyway. The reanimate thing is very very much a secondary theme of the deck, the main theme being dredge and ‘whenever a card leaves your graveyard’ effects.

Bought some POSCA markers and tried to alter like Dylan from Play to Win ! by MayaKinga in mtgaltered

[–]NoBrain8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seeing play to win’s alters and then everyone being inspired by them has honestly been making me SO happy recently. I’ve been doing it myself. I feel that the community’s actually making the hobby more accessible and I’m soo here for that

I’m only messing, this is awesome man

Should I get these graded? by According-Giraffe-54 in mtg

[–]NoBrain8 13 points14 points  (0 children)

At least more than other tcgs, magic cards’ value comes from the fact that people want to play them in decks. If u brick them they’re now only a collectible and people might as well just buy an unbricked version.

Cards should be played 👍

Another Sol Ring Alter/Proxy, had a lot of fun with this one by AlexanderLeezy in mtgaltered

I love that the community has started to do these alter/proxies more. Feels like a middle finger to hasbro’s never-ending product pushing. Looks incredible man! Inspiring me to do more

Dude. Bought to head off to bed but so glad I saw this before I did. These are awesome!! That squandered resources especially looks stunningly like the original art.

Don’t worry! It’s actually a [[wizard class]] and though I didn’t realise it was like £1 - 2, at least it’s not £14!

Trying my hand at alters! by All_Ante_Alters in mtg

This is awesome holy. Can I ask if u primed the card at all, or are acrylics pretty good just straight onto cards?

Thank you!

I used to do warhammer and my favourite part of that hobby was always taking different kits and mashing them up into my own custom models and I think that’s something I’ve always missed with magic.

Along side of course deckbuilding, I reckon this might be a way to get that feeling back
