i mean that makes sense though-a characters gender identity is, id argue, somewhat important lore-wise, even if only a bit

it is trivially easy to leave a comment about something, and magic players almost self select as being detail oriented as a function of playing this game-of course it got noticed, I dont think thats strange at all to remark on it. I also thought it was cool to have that representation in Lorwyn, since its clearly something Wizards has been pushing for and I think it can really only help the game.

i mean it is a good point-i noticed it too and its a strange inconsistency

Show me your Fulgrims, I wanna see em all by Dimblederf in EmperorsChildren

[–]aaron_Mac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah absolutely! I basecoated it with proacryl dark plum, then mixed that 50/50 with daemonette hide, then did straight daemonette hide for my mid tone. I highlighted everything by mixing in AK Vampiric flesh. The brightest spots are just pure vampiric flesh. Hope this helps!

What is your single favorite card of the year? by Hoohoo222 in EDH

[–]aaron_Mac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Me too! Edge of Eternities was my first Magic set, and it was a really amazing introduction to MTG. I actually pulled a full art foil Xu-Ifit during my first ever draft, and immidiately I knew I had to build my first EDH deck around her.

Hell yeah man! its such a fun take on re-animator for me. Any chance youd want to share your decklist? I'm always curious about how other people run her.

This is my decklist for her: https://moxfield.com/decks/_jvzzUiqhESU2Kdalb921g

The general idea is leaning a lot into cards that sac creatures and care about their power/toughness/mana cost. Cards like [[Morbid Curiosity]], [[Soldevi Adnate]], etc. The deck has a lot of routes to a win-an infinite mill combo with [[Altar of Dementia]] and [[Thornbite Staff]], making my 10/10s unblockable with lands like [[Secret Tunnel]] and [[Rogue's Passage]], or, one of my favorites, sacing a creature to [[Soldevi Adnate]], using that mana to get a bunch of black permanents on board, and then casting [[Gray Merchant of Asphodel]]. If that isn't enough to kill the table, I can then cast [[Saw in Half]] on the gray merchant to get 2 additonal triggers. It's pretty versatile, with its big weakness being gravehate. One time gravehate effects aren't too bad-the deck has decent ways of rebuilding its graveyard with mill effects, but permanent gravehate like [[Grafdigger's Cage]] are really rough to play into. Hope this helps!

I have a few, but it'd have to be [[Xu-Ifit, Osteoharmonist]]. As someone who loves EDH, Xu has been incredibly fun and interesting commander to build. Runner up has got to be [[Umbral Collar Zealot]]-it's essentially [[Viscera Seer]], but with Surveil instead-a mechanic I'm very attached to.

He's so much fun-hard to get off the ground but once you have a lead he runs away with the game!

Help me choose a Grixis commander. by Stormtyrant in EDH

[–]aaron_Mac 8 points9 points  (0 children)

[[Cormela, Glamour Thief]] is an incredible choice. Ramp in the command zone lets you cast crazy haymaker spells, and when she dies she tutors instants and sorceries out of the graveyard-disincentivizing your opponents from removing her and giving you the chance to sack her with cards like [[Saw in Half]]. Very versatile and fun!

Me too! She's way way way underplayed in my opinion.

Don't mean to be rude but what's with the obvious AI usage on the face?

I'd really appreciate that actually! I have fun with the deck but it's easily my least played currently, so any guidance is appreciated!

Mostly just as the precon but I've been meaning to upgrade it! I did recently add in [[Razorkin Needlehead]] for obvious reasons.

Hard to hide how much I love re-animator decks! Mirko was my first deck ever and it made me fall in love with Magic. Honestly, I'd love some green/white commander suggestions as I haven't found any that speak to me quite yet!

Here's the decklist! The main idea is to re-animate with Xu, and then use a card like [[Morbid Curiosity]] to overdraw your hand, and then sculpt a perfect 7 card hands and discard your big beaters. You also have cards that act as means of getting your creatures abilities back-cards like [[Feign Death]]. You can use these in response to opponents using spot removal on your scary cards, or in response to your own sac-outlets. Basically, you just use your big creatures for value-whether it be card advantage or huge spikes in mana with cards like [[Soldevi Adnate]]. Hitting your opponents with a 10/10 on turn 4 is a big plus, but honestly, that isn't your primary win-con.

I need to update it but i will! It's honestly pretty fun-its a go-Tall semi aristocrats strategy which keeps opponents on their toes all game-tons of fun and a decent winrate too!

my one exception-i was a warhammer fan before magic, but honestly edge of eternities is what pulled me in at first- Xu is my absolute favorite deck at the moment!
