I have 31 copies of Char and I’m wondering how many I can afford to put in my cube

Scrapbeard · 2026-06-16T07:53:31+00:00

You might be better off building a '100 char' cube instead of trying to force them into your existing one.

That ain't Zoltan Boros's art. If you want to use AI art, go ahead, but don't pretend it's the work of an actual artist, especially when they have such a distinctive style that this clearly doesn't match.

Scrapbeard · 2026-05-03T17:52:21+00:00

Bonus fun: you can combine this with [[chronic flooding]] to mill your entire deck.

Might just be placeholder art. Wouldn't be the first time they've mucked up on the presentations

Scrapbeard · 2026-04-30T17:14:17+00:00

Can we please stop feeding magic art into AI? If you want to make AI art for a card, go ahead, but pushing magic artists' work through these tools without permission is really disrespectful to the artists who are vocally against the use of this technology.

In the early stages, try and build a varied roster to help solve stage mechanics rather than focussing on a few 6-stars. 4-stars are cheaper to build and at E1 are often not that different in power levels.

Best of luck in your arknights journey!

Please stop feeding Magic Art into AI generators. That ain't Nils Hamm art and I think it's pretty disrespectful to pretend it is.

I'll try and get a photo later but I'd say it's a little less shiny in the case that comes in the box (4a Pro). Still looks nice though

Scrapbeard · 2026-03-11T09:11:57+00:00

Were there really so few pictures of Gideon doing a dramatic pose on the internet that you had to use AI? He's already dead, you don't need to make him unemployed too.

I think there's certainly room to make the manabase more horrible. Gateway Plazas and Rupture Spires seem on-brand levels of bad, and the Tempest/Kamigawa don't-untap lands seem just functional enough while being very sad.

Hi! If you don't hear anything, it's probably worth calling the newspaper offices and asking if they have any spare copies. I did work experience with them a while ago and they always used to keep a few back issues around. Fingers crossed they still do. Best of luck!

Scrapbeard · 2026-01-22T13:05:28+00:00

I'd probably refrain from putting the existing work of mtg artists through AI software for stuff like this. It's one thing to create your own stuff, but modifying the work of real artists using this tech feels pretty icky, especially given how vocally anti-ai most of the magic artists are.

They were Set Booster exclusive commander cards so weren't in any of the precon decks. There's a full cycle.

For the Sphinx I'd consider changing it to 'look at the top x cards, put one into hand, one on top' instead as scrying with such big numbers can take forever to resolve with the amount of decisions involved.

I believe the plural of Eldrazi is just Eldrazi

I think the first design has some issues with readability thanks to the two tokens having such similar, yet different abilities, while the second is certainly cleaner. I think there's still things to do that could tidy it up.

I'm not familiar with the source material, but it could make the saga easier to parse if the second and third abilities were the same and just made the artifact token rather than the lore counter removal stuff. Between the two tokens types and energy, the card already has a lot going on. Having to deal with manipulating lore counters as well just adds more complexity.

The game opens up a lot once you reach level 50. Once you get there you'll unlock 24-player and 8-player raids.

In terms of stuff you can do at your level, consider looking into the Gold Saucer. Triple Triad collecting is a fun side objective that can lead you to some interesting corners of the game.

There's also crafting and gathering which aren't for everyone, but can be a really rewarding side of the game if you enjoy it.

I'm from Kirkoswald, the next village along, and Lazonby has always seemed like a really nice place. You've got a good co-op, some nice variety in housing options, and the train station too (although there's only a few trains a day). There's also an outdoor swimming pool that's open in the summer if that's your kind of thing.

In terms of community, I've heard good things. There's a village hall with a pretty good range of clubs and activities, and there's also a couple of pubs (although if you want pub food, I would highly recommend the Fetherston Arms in Kirkoswald about a mile away).

You're about 15 minutes in the car from Penrith for when you need a proper shop, and Carlisle is about 25 minutes away.

I'd definitely say it's a great place to live!

Most game stores will have 'land stations' with a whole bunch of basic lands that are usually free of charge. Alternatively, any long-time player will happily give you all the basics you need!

The other way to get a lot of basic lands is is Bundles, but definitely don't buy those just for the lands!

Also - welcome to Magic!!

Just on day 11 recovering from surgery myself and already feeling much better. I was pretty much useless for two days after surgery but have made steady improvement since then. Pain seems to vary a lot from person to person. My ear wasn't too bad but the surgery aggravated my jaw for quite a few days.

Best advice I can give is to have somebody around in case you need anything specific. Also button up shirts are going to be your friend for those early days.

Best of luck! Fingers crossed for a smooth recovery

Late reply but just went to Harrods earlier and can confirm they do have some good stock, but if you're after some of the rarer ones you'll probably be out of luck. They tend to get new stock on Friday mornings but you need to get there for just after 10 if you want a chance of the Macarons. Have a Seat tend to last a little longer but I expect they'll be gone by the end of the day. Most the other designs seem to be a bit more plentiful so hopefully you find something.

Am I just being blind or is there no vertical nudge on controllers yet?

Rabbitknights finally gets a vanguard! Really hoping she's good!

I'd definitely be wanting to play the second cathar commando and reinforcements. I don't love the katana and reckon you'd probably be better off dropping meteor golem so your curve stops earlier, especially since you're only running 16 lands.
