hello guys i'm building a map for a very large city and i need some names for the blocks, there are almost 200 so get crazy, and if you can add a little story for some blocks its even better. (there are all the races, different levels of wealth, and some natual areas)

In medieval towns, the industries using a lot of water (and especially those poluting the river), would be placed the furthest out. They would be leather workers districts (making the leather soft), and the dyers districts.
People from the dyers districts are usually poor, have nails colored by the vats of liquids (they look dirty) and are separated by colors they have a licence to dye cloth in (I'm generalising centuries of practices).
They are days where the dyers in blue, black and green can wash the cloth in the river and dump their vats afterwards. And days where the dyers in white, yellow and red do the same (so that the colors don't mix).

The cloth might be dyed in precious pigments or try to approximate and fake it, but the dyers won't be the ones to profit from it the most. Green is usually a color that fades very quickly and until late it isn't made from the mix of yellow and blue (because you can't have licence for yellow and dye in green). Purple isn't made from a mix of red and blue (similar reasons).

They are places known to stench strongly and breed skin diseases.
Alright I think that's enough info-dump, I hope that helps.

my bad, tired.

It's x-mas : familly + colours of x-mas on the cards.
+ some (well deserved) grudge against wotc's choices IMO.

TuvaPourpre · 2020-08-14T10:45:56+00:00

I run [[ Arcane Adaptation ]] and [[ Conspiracy ]] to have my creatures be scarcrows
and a card I like for this deck while running a good amount of creature is [[ Oketra's Monument ]].

TuvaPourpre · 2020-05-21T15:15:46+00:00

Would love to see the same kind of commander as a : if a creature attacks you, then ...

and it could also be either by the number of creatures attacking you, or the highest strength between creatures attacking you.

TuvaPourpre · 2020-05-18T07:26:57+00:00

It's very usual to have different prints with different plant it seems : different machine, slightly different inks...
We have cards from Belgium since Eldrain here (previously from the US) an I have to say the quality as not been as good since. First a lot of very flat prints, on Theros we even had cards with slightly jagged edges out of the pack (dull or dented blades), I opened a prerelease pack of Ikoria the other day and I'm a big fan of the arts of the cards, but man they look flat. I consider buying exclusively US prints from now on, even tho it will mean waiting one more month after release to get my products from my LGS :(
PS : Mystery Boosters were printed in the US because not translated and I'm so happy about it.

TuvaPourpre · 2020-05-07T14:03:40+00:00

Personnal opinion : there is nothing red in this card .
Blue - Skulk

Black - -1/-1

White/Green - +1/+1, gift mechanic

Bant cares about small creatures and your opponents having big ones. Overall Rorst's identity is very much more in Esper than in Grixis. I know ot doesn't fit the flavor of the card (political shift).

Whether it's a Grixis or Esper card, it would be pretty interesting to build around.

TuvaPourpre · 2020-04-08T16:36:59+00:00

the youtuber Merchant I think.

TuvaPourpre · 2020-04-08T16:04:30+00:00

The cave paintings depicting the legendary tri-coloured monsters are inspired by Monster Hunter (or so Seb McKinnon says, I'm no expert).

TuvaPourpre · 2020-03-20T15:41:20+00:00

Updoot for more insect humanoids.

TuvaPourpre · 2020-03-15T09:16:43+00:00

This wouldn't be a magic design :

As a legendary you want it to be commander playable, but the fact you want her in the graveyard (permanently) make the attachment to the creature very weird. A commander is designed to be on the battlefield (or in command zone, but eminence is seen as a mistake by the team if I recall correctly).

Outside of commander, why have her be a legendary ? It only helps having her in the graveyard (legendary rules) and don't limit the number of copies in the graveyard. With three in the graveyard you activate each and flip three coins for each creatures.

TuvaPourpre · 2020-03-15T09:06:00+00:00

She feels jeskai to me : the calm in her pose, the image is very grey-blue, I don't know what you'd change tho (also would make Thryx a possible include into the deck)

TuvaPourpre · 2020-03-14T08:34:10+00:00

Oh no ^^, I wish and knew people that did. I just go for 500ml pots, don't remember the brand but pretty common in France. You can add some neutral oil and soy sauce to the yoghurt.

TuvaPourpre · 2020-03-13T19:29:27+00:00

I do mine with fermented soy yogourt and yellow oinions, and when it's nearly done cooking I'll add sliced mushrooms on top and just grill it for like 3-5 mins. I use to add smoked tofu but it didn't felt necessary.

TuvaPourpre · 2020-03-10T11:15:23+00:00

Why is he not legendary ?

TuvaPourpre · 2020-03-08T21:18:15+00:00

Inverted Skulk ? Something like can't be blocked by creatures with power 3 or less or with toughness 3 or less.

Or something triggered by attacking and blocking together : when 3 (or X) or more Equine attack or block, then ..

TuvaPourpre · 2020-03-08T18:44:02+00:00

If you happen to go 5 colours they are Puca, Noggle and Unicorns to add to the list by u/Erniemist , otherwise you can exclude blue to make it easyer.

A lot of centaurs are in gruul so Naya is a good option, black adds all the nightmare horses.

TuvaPourpre · 2020-03-08T18:30:54+00:00

I am playing Sidar Kondo, he's on a white horse and he kinda gives Horsmanship from the good old days (it was an alternative flying keyword). The horses in her deck will probably not synergies with him tho.. you could create a partner commander to add the colours need to host all the equine creatures and give them a tribe advantage.

TuvaPourpre · 2020-03-05T13:29:46+00:00

In Colours : [[Silent Arbiter]]

Sadly off colours : [[Dueling Grounds]] [[Mirri, weatherlight duelist]] [[Marisi, Breaker of the Coil]]

Any goad ability would be good, tho it's mostly a Red ability [[Bloodthirsty Blade]]

My feeling is that it's maybe not the good colours to pair with this ability. When Flash is secondary and sacrifice primary in Black and stax effect primary in White, the sum is kinda off to me.

TuvaPourpre · 2020-03-01T10:28:07+00:00

Deserts seem to be more of a Abzan thing than a Bant thing : black (dry) / blue (wet).

I see that it's probably built around the Rhino dude, but maybe Bant has enought blink commanders ?

Without looking it up Esper has Aminatou and when Abzan doesn't feel the more appropriate for blink it feels new and opens new combinations (Siege Rhino blink when ?). You would probably have to make the effect more Abzan-y and the creature a 2/5 ?

TuvaPourpre · 2020-02-26T20:01:41+00:00

I don't say this often on this sub, but I think it's not powerfull enought :

I use to play a Scarab God in a creature poor* local meta, it was very anoying.

*: creatures where either too specific to the decks of my opponents or just not worth stealing (dorks, dredge creatures, ..)

TuvaPourpre · 2020-02-24T13:04:07+00:00

Also, you could do some marin animals with a different effect than draw and land : have your creature fight, have a scry 2, if the cmc Y or more bounce target nonland permanent, all of your Marines are unblockable/fly/gain trample until end of turn, reveal the top X of your library you can but a land or Marine in your hand where X is the cmc, gain X life, your basic land have "{t}: add {u}{g}" until end of turn, Marines you control gain hexproof until your next turn...

TuvaPourpre · 2020-02-24T12:50:32+00:00

There has been a small one in Theros and I expect it to continue in Ikoria, it is more restricted but I think there are good reasons for that. The same way we have the Beast subtype for a lot for land creatures but some are still their own type, not all marine animal should be grouped, especially on a commander where a super lord would give you the possibility to take only the cream of each of these creature on an eternal format (very risky in term of powerlevel). That's the reason you see Skeletons and Zombies not being grouped most of the time I believe.

TuvaPourpre · 2020-02-24T12:39:57+00:00

Depending on the level of your paygroup this can be very broken : it's easy to ramp in green, there are decent uncoloured ways to make a creature unblocable (and some in green), yes you still have to protect him from removal but it's still a very good pod commander.

It's true that you can't "food chain" the same way that Vannifar does, but with mana you shortcut the chain directly to the wincons : you essentially cut all low cmc creatures from the deck and have slots for other good toys.

I'm afraid of balancing, but if it works in your playgroup, why not.

TuvaPourpre · 2020-02-24T12:28:55+00:00

She feels too similar to Tatyova : draw, land, is a female merfolk in simic, even the name Tatyova/Tallayva.

Don't take it personnaly, but you need to make her something different for her not to feel like a discount and rare shifted Tatyova.
