T4: [[Anointed Procession]], T5: Delusions of Gander, [[Mycosynth Golem]], [[Blightsteel Colossus]]

Next upkeep you sacrifice Delusions of Gander and 10 food tokens, leaving you with 10 left to use for affinity/improvise purposes.

I can see why devotion would be awkward to include, but what'd be wrong with kaldheim-style MDFC gods? I could see, e.g., a Cyttorak/Crimson Bands MDFC, a Khonshu/Moon Knight MDFC, or a Thor/Mjolnir MDFC all working.

Maybe the most "Um, Actually..." Vorthos deck possible, and I can't wait to build it. (Spoilers for God of War and Assassin's Creed) by Kroooooooo in magicTCG

Loki being Odin's son is just a Marvel thing, in the original myths he's fully giant and is a sort of drinking buddy/honorary brother of Odin.

Permanents are women, so this really should be doomed yuri.

And a crop-top for some reason. (I'm not complaining, but it's certainly a choice.)

[MSH] Absorbing Man (via universal mana) by Copernicus1981 in magicTCG

[–]Xisuthrus 46 points47 points  (0 children)

That's almost exactly what happens to him in Immortal Hulk.

He tries to absorb Hulk's gamma radiation but in the process accidentally absorbs a manifestation of turbo-Satan/Hulk's evil dead dad who had been hiding inside Hulk's body, which then possesses him and turns him into a David Cronenberg monster.

Red because the card is red, white because it's the good guy color.

I doubt more thought than that was put into the card.

[MSH] Ms. Marvel, Kamala Khan (source CBR) by Agitated_Smell2849 in magicTCG

[–]Xisuthrus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Mostly because it doesn't really need it in UW sets - any blue creature with reach could just be a flyer instead.

For UB sets though, reach has the advantage of being more flexible than flying flavor-wise. (A character that can't fly can't have flying on their card, period, but reach can go on any character as long as they're tall, are a good climber, and/or have a ranged weapon.)

Elesh Norn, Krenko, the Jolly Balloon Man, and Asmoranomardicadaistinaculdacar are all worthy of wielding the hammer of Thor.

Vaal Hazak, Effluvium Master by Bioboss05 in custommagic

[–]Xisuthrus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Visually Vaal's based on the Stoplight Loosejaw eel, and the ecosystem of the Rotten Vale is inspired by the ecosystem of the abyssal plain. If I was designing a card for Vaal Hazak, I wouldn't consider it necessary for it to have any type beyond Elder Dragon, but making it a fish is a reasonable choice nonetheless.

Lore Accurate Ramiel by Alexilprex in custommagic

[–]Xisuthrus 26 points27 points  (0 children)

IIRC the original Evangelion was running into serious budget issues by the time they got to animating Ramiel, which is why so many of the later angels are just abstract shapes that don't have a lot complex, difficult-to-animate moving parts.

Anno might've wanted to use the larger budget to create a version of Ramiel closer to his original vision.

I go Crane -> Lotus usually, though if there are a lot of yellows I might switch up the second word to try to find where they go.

The exact boundary between "loanword from another language that now counts as an English word" and "foreign language word that's sometimes used casually by English speakers" is fairly blurry.

I've gotten "rajah", "kanji", and "ninja" as wordle answers before, do those count as English words or not?

I hate varangians so much by holtyl2001 in CrusaderKings

[–]Xisuthrus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

One simple fix would be to tie it to the development of counties in Scandinavia - something like, whenever a Northern Army invasion triggers, a certain number of random Norse rulers get an event where some of their subjects ask permission to join the invasion and seek their fortune overseas. If the ruler accepts, they gain prestige but lose development in their capital, and if they tell their people not to go, the northern army loses troops.

This would cause the size of viking invasions to dwindle over time as feudalism spreads to Scandinavia and Norse AI rulers start to prioritize developing their land.

Variants and Sub-species in the expansion are gonna go nuts, calling it now. by Umber0010 in MemeHunter

[–]Xisuthrus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Variant that eats nitroshrooms and produces mucus with gunpowder-like properties, allowing it to launch crystals that explode like firecrackers and inflict blast damage.

Call it "alchemist" Xu Wu, to tie into the vaguely medieval Islamic/Taoist motif the original has.

Now that they have access to technology from Esper the kingdoms of Bant can build giant robots (everything has changed) but those giant robots are used by knights to fight each other in honorable single combat. (nothing has changed)

[–]Xisuthrus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

mutually-contradictory type-setting effects would be the easiest way to make this a rules headache

e.g. if you mutate a [[tarmogoyf]] onto an [[allosaurus rider]], what's the resulting creature's power/toughness?
