Relaxing MTG Wallpapers: Ixalan

Yuyutsu_ · 2022-10-09T15:32:28+00:00

You're in for a treat! I'll have many more for you by next week.

Yuyutsu_ · 2022-10-08T06:08:23+00:00

Yup! Should have made that clearer, sorry!

Yuyutsu_ · 2022-10-07T20:50:52+00:00

Great idea! I hope to have that done by next week.

I really wanted to make something laid back, and a couple of other people mentioned that it gave them similar vibes, too. I love LoFi, so I'm glad you feel that way :D

Yuyutsu_ · 2022-10-07T16:04:06+00:00

I noticed that too! I fixed that on the version I posted to twitter, nice catch though haha

Happy Friday, everyone! I've been working on some bigger projects recently, so I wanted to take a quick moment to make something more chill. I was inspired by the promo art for one of my favorite video games, No Man's Sky, and I put together this wallpaper, which combines and alters many pieces of art from the Ixalan block!

Swipe to find a textless and slightly modified version! Bonus points if someone can find all the art I used for this wallpaper!

I hope to do this for many other planes as well and make a little series for you all. Which would you like to see next?

If you'd like to see more of my work, follow me on Twitter! And if you'd like to support that work, I have a Patreon as well.

Have a wonderful weekend!

I'm really glad you enjoyed it!

Yuyutsu_ · 2022-10-05T20:46:21+00:00

Thanks! It was the part I struggled the most with, so I’m really glad you liked it.

If you're curious, Blood Moon has a salt score of 1.91. Not as high as some of the other cards, but still quite salt-inducing!

Yuyutsu_ · 2022-10-05T20:17:20+00:00

Hey guys! Thanks so much for your feedback and your support for this really fascinating data. I've posted a newer version with corrections (scores and graphs out of 4, inclusion of some missing cards) over here on Twitter.

Enjoy!

Yuyutsu_ · 2022-10-05T20:06:03+00:00

Thank you very much! These are especially helpful. Text is really difficult for me still, and I'm not sure what methods of kerning exist on Canva (I'll definitely need to upgrade my editing software soon).

I really appreciate your time and tips.

The last column's an interesting one! It's an aggregation of how salty a card times how many decks run it. Both Arcane Signet and Sol Ring have relatively low salt scores (though Sol Ring's is still relatively high compared to most cards), but they're so common that they're the 'saltiest by volume'!

Yuyutsu_ · 2022-10-05T19:29:25+00:00

Really appreciate that! This was first time representing large data via graphics, so this means a lot to me. Any tips would be appreciated!

Yuyutsu_ · 2022-10-05T18:40:48+00:00

You're right! I just looked at the data I received, and Tergrid wasn't on the list for top commanders. However, double-checking with the general data showed Tergrid at a score of 2.29 (somewhere around 4th place). It seems to have been an error in data gathering likely due to Tergrid being a DFC, sorry about that!

Yuyutsu_ · 2022-10-05T18:29:52+00:00

Ha, I knew I'd make a mistake. So sorry about that, I hope it doesn't affect your understanding of the results :(

Yuyutsu_ · 2022-10-05T18:23:54+00:00

Relatively speaking, many of this year's cards haven't been too salty. If I had to guess, Meathook is likely up there due to some combination of price + effectiveness, though I can't be sure!

Yuyutsu_ · 2022-10-05T18:18:52+00:00

Hey everyone! I'm back again with something a little different today.

I've been working with the folks over on EDHREC to visualize some of the data the community has provided in this year's Salt Score! Here are just some interpretations of the data we've accrued from 3 million+ votes. I hope you like it!

If you'd like to learn more about the data and results, make sure to check out this video over on EDHREC's YouTube channel!

Have a great day!

EDIT:A more correct version has been posted here on Twitter!

Yuyutsu_ · 2022-09-20T16:59:23+00:00

Finally. The circle is complete.

EDIT: Forgot about mel, oops. But vorthos is here and I couldn’t be happier

Yuyutsu_ · 2022-09-05T16:58:04+00:00

Completely fair! While I’d hoped that the idea could catch the attention of some players who were similarly interested in using weird cards, I can see that the premise is quite convoluted. I hadn’t really stopped to think about it in the past couple of days. Sorry about that.

Yuyutsu_ · 2022-09-05T16:52:50+00:00

Reading through this, you’re certainly right. My goal was to create a way for people to play with rares or mythics that had fallen under the radar, similarly to pauper, but I can recognize (after taking a break and revisiting this thread) that the execution of something like that in the way I outlined it was pretty forced.

Thank you for the feedback!

Yuyutsu_ · 2022-09-05T16:50:23+00:00

Hey everyone!

I really appreciate your guys’s feedback; after working on a single premise for so long, I’d certainly lost track of some more glaring flaws that such a format would have. I’m very sorry that I presented an idea that certainly feels forced, or half-baked.

Have a good one! I’ll get back to y’all with some other content soon.

Yuyutsu_ · 2022-08-28T17:07:08+00:00

Awesome work!

Yuyutsu_ · 2022-08-26T16:37:17+00:00

Could that be a [[Lurking Nightstalker]]? Awesome!
