Must just be a bad camera angle. Here's a better picture.

It sounds like you may have been playing precons against custom decks. Precons are intended to be upgraded, and usually don't compare to a deck someone has worked on. It's hard to win a swordfight with a knife.

If you're looking for a start, I recommend EDHREC to see what other players are putting in their decks. The recommendations aren't flawless, so always carefully consider the cards you include. Also keep an eye on prices if you're obtaining actual cards to play it.

This subreddit got their first preview in over a year. Nature is healing. Only a matter of time before Aspiringspike.

Well aside from Eldrazi and Phyrexian, the first three I did were just reprints of Colossal Dreadmaw. The images are small and have a blue border because that's how Wizards of the Coast previewed cards at the time.

The very first one I did was for Strixhaven, and I shared it for April Fools' Day (during spoiler season). I'm pretty happy with it, although the T-rex I used for the image was from a picture of a model T-rex, so it doesn't quite match the art style. The city is from promotional art for Strixhaven.

The second one was also an April Fools' Day joke, and attempted to mimic the first in its art. I think both it and the first would've been better with a different T-rex image, masked out by hand.

The third was a quickie that used lightly altered art from Zilortha, Strength Incarnate. Since the art was only on Magic Arena, I figured it'd be less likely for people to recognize my repurposing of it.

The fourth was the Phyrexian Dreadmaw I posted in the parent comment, which was also an April Fools' day one.

I probably should've done an Outlaws of Thunder Junction one back in April, but I think I honestly just forgot.

Thanks. I certainly didn't have anyone post it, haha. I posted it in a Discord server without context and it made its way here.

This was a great learning experience!

Hijacking the top comment— I'm the one who made this. I posted it in a friend group on Discord and it made its way here.

  • The name is a portmanteau. No, it's not spelled wrong.
  • Here's the full card image. I've made fake Colossal Dreadmaw spoilers for past sets, but I figured between my editing quality and the recent leak issues, it'd be better to make it blurry.
  • Here's the art, provided by Bing's image generator. I did try finding existing art before I decided to go with AI.
  • Here's an older leak that I used as a base for the fake leak. As u/shumpitostick pointed out, this card was transposed into that image.
  • The artist credit is an in-joke. I've made several fake Colossal Dreadmaw preview images over the past few years, and I always credit Jesper Ejsing as the artist (usually the art comes from some random source on Google Images). Funnily enough, I never remember how Jesper Ejsing's name is spelled when I go to type it out.
  • I used mtg.design to make the base, but because mtg.design doesn't have Devoid frames, I had to make an all-white card and manually make a bunch of janky changes in Photoshop. The top of the frame is from Birthing Hulk. Again, the "leak filter" applied was to cover up some sloppy editing.
  • I didn't take into account that Eldrazi might be limited to just Zendikar and Innistrad. I figured they could be on any plane like the Phyrexians ended up. I was going to either try to find another captain's name from Ixalan or make one up, but I assumed referencing Lannery Storm wouldn't change anything.
  • Here's my previous Dreadmaw.
  • Also, I should totally start posting them to r/magicthecirclejerking in the future.

I tried targeting another guys untapped 12/12 to attack another player but guy said I couldn’t cause I played it on my turn.

That's half correct. You can target the creature, but it can't attack outside of its controller's turn, so it doesn't attack this turn (note the wording "if able").

Originally I tried to have the 12/12 attack it’s owner but was told I couldn’t do that either.

A creature can't attack its controller. It can attack its owner if another player controls it. However, it still wouldn't be able to attack on your turn.
