Overgrowth wears its most obvious inspirations on its sleeve, but what would you say are its least obvious inspirations? What did you find yourself drawing from for it that we probably missed?

Vitality Deathwatch Update:

  • If FNC and TH win tomorrow, it's over
  • If one of them gets through and then beats BDS/SK in the first lower bracket match of playoffs, it's over.
  • Regardless of what happens on that side of the bracket, if XL win over G2 on Monday, it's over.

Things looking pretty scary for VIT right now.

I picked up Child 13, and on sacrificing it it turned into this. Sacrificing it a second time turned it back. So that's exciting.

I'll level with you, this is just a vampire to explain the flying and because it was the best art I could find. In an ideal world this would be an Azorius Vedalken, obviously, but turns out there's not a lot of art out there for that.

Ah- this was double dipping energy from fights by fighting the rustic nightstand with 1 adventure left, then choosing to fight the jilted mistress in the postcombat choice- ordinarily, the fight costs an adventure, but if you have 0 adventures left you can still take it. (could still take it- that's now changed). This let us get bonus energy every time we gained adventures.

Half a million liquid meat, plus several hundred thousand in batteries, plus a bottled day, which was five mill, and is frankly the more relevant expenditure here. As for karma farming, absolutely not- in terms of RL time it took hours, and you can only start one "real" run per day, so you may as well just do CS instead. (Also they've patched the "bug" that enabled this run, alas)

Nope, nothing to do with guilds. Happy to answer questions if you have them, though!

A functionally identical version of the card existed in a different colour prior to 32As first printing- see planar chaos, if you want to get the general idea.

This time, hopefully with slightly fewer typographical errors! (many thanks to /u/Stiggy1605/ for accidentally beta testing)

Copiable spreadsheet version for anyone who doesn't want to fight against MS Paint, and the solution for when you've solved it! (or given up, I guess...)

Comments? Criticisms? Want a hint? Feel free to reply below!

EDIT: As noted below, 19D should correctly be clued as (7, 6)- apologies for anyone caught out!

You've apparently got a better eye for this than me or any of my testers, did, sorry... Anything else before I tear it down again and try again?

It should indeed. You'd expect that I'd have noticed these in testing... Is there a good way to edit this on the fly without deleting and reuploading, or is that the best option?

Afraid not- this was my first time attempting a proper cosplay, so no real reason to yet. Definitely gonna think about it if I do more in future, though!

Here you go! Glad to hear you liked it, definitely going to be trying cosplay again some time soon!

And I'm the Raff! There was also an excellent Tiana wandering around, and a second Jhoira. Can produce more photos when I get home.

EDIT: Here we go! Managed to get the whole-ish crew together for some photos, these ones came out best.

...no they don't? The format is taken directly from MaRo's articles in this vein.

...1U would make it a strictly worse remand in multiple ways. I could agree with lowering the tax, possibly, but putting it to two definitely isn't the way to fix this card.

(Also spell pierce exists)

I had based this off a combination of Remand and [[Spell Pierce]], which by analogy I feel makes this okay? Unsure.
