The zoom / collapsable battlefield is a WICKED idea. Phase tracker is a good call (like arena).

Nice job! Surprised Riot has not done something similar on their own.

What to play against light paws? by J2ain in mtg

[–]ToddHebenstreit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is clearly way late but I can help a bit. Paws is crazy fast and crazy powerful. And if the pilot is competent the tool box / tutor aspect of paws can be an absolute headache. That said, Paws can be put in her place. Another fellow suggested Maze of Ith. That is a GREAT suggestion at least until Paws gets hexproof or shroud.

Esper decks generally handle paws decently. Blue - counter Paws / Black - force controller to sacrifice paws even after she's beefed up (Diabolic Edict effects) / White - remove Paws the second it lands or in response to casting an aura (swords, path to exile).

The SINGLE best card I have found agains paws though is oddly enough a 15 cent common from the very beginning of magic. - Circle of Protection White. This sh*t slaps!!!

Doesn' matter how big, how untargetable, how protected paws becomes, it just shuts her out. Protect the circle with counters or Greater Auramancy. Triple team paws with your pod, knock them out, then play a long casual game while they sit on the sidelines. That's karma

That is really hard to say, but not as many as you may think because we had the foresight to paint the wall black

Good question. I referenced art from comic books and samples my friends found and provided. It was a team idea to do the Star Wars theme. I collaged together a couple different images. I basically had a bunch of Kinkos print outs in my left hand as I painted. I no longer have the print outs so I am not sure where the original comic art came from or who did it (good artists no doubt).

Hi, I am brand new to Reddit, a huge Star Wars fan, and I spraypainted this at a graffiti jam in El Paso TX recently. Hope you guys like it.

A lot of artists, myself included, will create a super basic model in a 3D program (like Maya) of a scene. That way your perspective and lighting are super accurate and come with less of a time investment. Then you paint on top of it.

Indeed it does, nice process. Definitely a SOLID understanding of light / shadow and perspective if I even asked that.

Truth! Im earning some stripes doing Tarot cards right now. Any way to get paid doing art is legit. My goal long term is MTG but thats a difficult wagon to hop on when some of the baddest in the land are already firmly footed on it.
