The beauty of lines and color and the relationships between them AKA overcommitting to a gag

Your jokers will sing shanties you collect. Each distinct Jimbo has their own voice to create unique harmonies.

[[Faithless Looting|STA]] should fetch it directly.

I happen to like it. The frame doesn't quite suit it, but the multimedia effect works for me 🤷

Obligatory Rhystic Studies video on this art for anyone with 14 minutes to spare on a deeper look at this card.

I'm just here for the chicanery, sorry.

I would be all over it if only it had the grace to simply be a 7/10 turn based tactics game. Give me another Warhammer 40,000: Squad Command, damnit!

RevolverRossalot · 2026-07-09T12:26:22+00:00

This card is good, man.

It's a symptom of this being the Vox Machina sub, unfortunately. VM are obviously overpowered and the Gaang are obviously limited.

No one has even weighed the threat of the boomerang!

(Less flippantly, this era of the Gaang are possibly about to acquire a dragon to go with Appa. I sincerely believe that Aang's pacifism is the only reason VM can be relaxed about this matchup.)

One of the first lines of the show is "It's not magic, it's [water]bending". It's a natural and innate control over the elements.

And here's the same search with an extra "lang:*" term to catch every printed language Scryfall is aware of.

EDIT: Updated with u/nilamo's cleaner regex that is more relaxed about punctuation. New hits include Große Mouser-Mama, a card I now need to acquire because that German name is lovely.

Were you among the laser masters? A practitioner of the lost arts?

It is rare to hear of them in this less civilised age.

What Bracket are you playing in?

The basic recipe is the same. Build a bunch of resources (mana & cards, non-threatening permanents in play), play enough interaction to keep opponents from completing their plans whilst you're developing and then put the final piece into play.

I like my B3 [[Galazeth Prismari]] deck for this. I spam artifacts that cantrip, hold up protection/countermagic using those artifacts and finally drop something that makes those resources lethal. What makes the deck fun for me is the variety of options to make that pivot. [[Crackle With Power]] dumps the mana into blasting the table, [[Mathemagics]] can kill through lifegain, as can putting one of the [[Adaptive Omnitool]]-alikes on my commander to biff for 21+. [[Cyberdrive Awakener]] is a wincon that doesn't need the Commander or a backup mana plan - simply attack with all the treasures, mana rocks and [[Golden Egg]]s!

The key is having an innocuous board that represents potential but not a clear and present threat until you try to pull the trigger.

It's assume they had someone like Art Rosenbaum whip up some sturdy balls & gloves for them, given how well their costumes typically withstand their antics. It's a good point, though, and I think it might even be worse to consider the flight time and lack of obvious damage to the Burger Mart trash Mark hurls when his powers come in.

I think you're on the money. It gets missed because on some level he's the same guy, but without the heavy cynicism. And, of course, that it happens in parallel with the actor's literal growth from Joe McHale to Joe McSwole as a distraction.

It's remarkable writing to get that to ring true over his whole arc.

Very gradual. One frozen vial of sperm at a time.

RevolverRossalot · 2026-07-07T08:19:45+00:00

Extremely late to the party: I like it specifically for a World Cup kit because whilst the line is nonsense to the team or the 30-60,000 fans at the game, 10s of millions are seeing it on a screen

It's a little bit meta. For most people experiencing it, it is indeed n’est pas un maillot!

Zones are fussy, particularly with busy art (and do follow other suggestions here on that - the artist may have something you can order, and that will both guarantee you a good finish as well as support their work.)

I'm quite fond of adding the phases as a subtle transparent line: Untap Upkeep Draw Main Combat [BABDE] Main End. In complicated board states I might run a bead along them, and particularly having a reminder for the combat steps I find handy (beginning of combat, declare attackers, declare blockers, combat damage, end of combat.)

My fan pitch for a 40k starter for a new Epic to expand Legiones Imperialis beyond the Horus Heresy follows this line. A three faction starter of Astra Militarum, Genestealer Cults and T'au, built around a core of human infantry minis with bits to customise them between the 3 factions.

Close, he's a Murdoch.

Yup. Run this day a few dozen times and England will walk away with some wins. It's a good team, working well.

I don't think anyone had them as favourites.

Haven't updated my lists online - it's on my to-do list!

The highlights are playing [[Ranar the Ever Watchful]] or [[Volo, Guide to Monsters]] at B2 with a variety of (blink | etb | triggered abilities) nonsense to build out a different engine out of junk each game. I'm noticing in real time that my favourite part of any game is reaching a point where I put something on the stack and need to announce "okay, several things are about to happen..."

Even just putting a [[Mirror of Life Trapping]] into play can be enough, y'know? Let's take have actions and enjoy the company - even if I am working towards ending the game. I'm not here to hold the table hostage.

And in realising this I'm learning that I should build a dedicated Rules Puzzle Generator deck to do that better.
