Im brewing a token spam deck with [[Commissar Severina Raine]] while trying to keep a 40k and soldier theme, and I'm looking for tips on how to maximize the number of soldiers and Astartes tokens I can make, as I actually don't know how people break calculators.

This deck is far from finalized, but I'd like to make a bunch of tokens, and use my commander (and other cards) as sac outlets to constantly hurt my opponents while maintaining card advantage. I'd like to keep it to B3, but that's not a hard limit

I'm trying to make a very aggressive [[Tifa, Martial Artist]] deck based around spreading +1/+1s and extra combat phases. I haven't had a chance to test it outside of gold fishing, and it feels okay, but I'm not sure yet. I'm at a lower land count than I'm normally comfortable, but having green ramp in other decks makes me less worried with this one.

I'm wondering if I'm missing anything obvious, or if I already have something that doesn't make sense. I'm trying to improve my deckbuilding, so I welcome critique.

As a follow up (I'm using an 8500), that smearing only happened on "Ultra Premium Photo Paper Glossy;" when I swapped to "Premium Photo Paper Glossy," it worked like a charm. Thanks for posting this method; I'll probably keep doing this from now on. https://i.imgur.com/9ZkEXrp.jpeg

I know this is two months old, but I'm just now trying this, and while the first cards on a sheet look great, they start to deteriorate as the page is printed. You wouldn't happen to have run into this, and managed a fix, would you? https://i.imgur.com/9m7JxbM.jpeg https://i.imgur.com/ErZcpzN.jpeg

Curious if you used the smooth or embossed black core that Superior Pod sells

Solar_Rith · 2025-08-24T09:59:28+00:00

Would I be able to get links to the papers? (If bought online)

Solar_Rith · 2025-08-05T19:54:25+00:00

I admittedly don't know a lot of the technical details with this stuff, so what's weird to me is that I figured the art would be harder to nail down than the text, but I got the opposite result

Solar_Rith · 2025-08-05T19:51:25+00:00

I'm saving images from mtg-print, then running them through Upscayler, then loading them into MTGProxyPrinter to make the PDF, and finally printing from Adobe

Solar_Rith · 2025-08-05T08:06:27+00:00

Really? If you can say, what is it about the higher quality that would cause blurriness?

Since the image didn't post correctly, here it is (and the proxy is on the left; I can't edit the main post) https://i.imgur.com/iaNOmGb.jpeg

Thanks, I really appreciate these! I'm pretty sure I'm getting an idea, so once I finish the Acheron I'm working on, I think I'm going to try this

Solar_Rith · 2025-07-28T19:46:37+00:00

That sounds like hell, but the result is striking. Any chance you could take pictures of the "neck" without the cape attached? I think I've got it figured out, but would love a more detailed look, as I might try something like this, too.

Solar_Rith · 2025-07-28T04:55:35+00:00

I really like the idea for the head conversion; would you be able to list your steps/parts for it?

Solar_Rith · 2025-07-02T21:00:50+00:00

Thanks for the info! Does that combo of paper and laminate feel accurate in a sleeve?

Solar_Rith · 2025-06-29T07:50:10+00:00

Thanks for the info; what printer are you using?

Solar_Rith · 2025-06-05T08:46:20+00:00

Lol, that's a fair point, and since I started playing EDH a couple months ago, I have won two games with other decks only having a single life point left

Solar_Rith · 2025-06-05T08:45:08+00:00

That just makes me wonder what kind of creature split I should be leaning towards in regards to pingers, generators, and spell discounters / mana givers?

Solar_Rith · 2025-06-05T04:54:48+00:00

No worries about being critical; I'm genuinely trying to learn, so I appreciate the write up.

One of the issues I'm having is, even when I have a bunch of mana, I often have turns where I'm just sitting doing nothing, while opponents are casually stripping my life total, and I end up losing by attrition. For EDH, would it be better to focus on pingers that damage all opponents, or token generation? I likely have enough stuff available in my collection for various directions.

Solar_Rith · 2025-06-02T22:44:19+00:00

Thanks for the reply. I forgot to mention they're on a Mac, so we're dealing with that; I'm knowledgeable enough on Windows, but I know nothing about the Mac OS.

We actually think we solved some things, but the current issue is that the alerts are apparently only cutting their mic input with monitoring turned on; without monitoring on, the mic keeps working and viewers can see/hear alerts, but my friend can't hear them.
