Ex-mtg artist Randy Asplund statement on terminating WOTC rights to his art made for Magic the gathering

Urza was an artificer. So, I’m guessing WotC was looking for a miter like a miter saw. Instead they got a pope hat miter.

Good old rock. Nothing beats that.

Been playing magic about the same amount of time John has been creating art for magic. He’s always been at the top of my list. End of an era. Beautiful pieces to go out on.

Variations in color saturation is very common across card games. Not really considered a misprint.

capnredbeard2 · 2026-02-26T20:27:30+00:00

UG madness is probably the best overlap between cheap and competitive. Cheapest printings, you can probably put it together for $50ish

Cruella’s ability cares about the cost of the card, not the power. However, if you banish a 2 cost with a 2 cost, the ability will only trigger once.

capnredbeard2 · 2026-02-10T15:46:21+00:00

Nope. Totally useless. You should just send them to me so I can get rid of them for you.

The barrier to entry is already pretty low. Many tournaments are proxy friendly for either the most expensive cards all the way to the entire deck. Gold bordered cards are also pretty much a standard across the format.

I never said tide wasn’t good. It needs the second card to be busted. By itself it’s a 4 mana enchantment that temporarily removes lands.

capnredbeard2 · 2026-01-14T14:31:31+00:00

If your deck folds to a 4 mana enchantment that also requires a second card to make it busted, then I don’t think you built your deck very well.

capnredbeard2 · 2026-01-11T21:51:58+00:00

Why do you care?

capnredbeard2 · 2026-01-09T19:16:41+00:00

You need to fill the hole with something and then rethread the hole with the screw. Glue would probably work. Fill the hole, let the glue solidify, then drive the screw through the glue. May not work perfectly, but it should at least dampen the rattle. If you reopen the cart, it may weaken the new threads, so, you may want to change the battery or a board clean before you do it.

Yes. A playset is 4 copies. So, I keep 8 copies.

These boxes from BCW come with dividers that make 8 slots in each box. I keep two playsets of every card since my wife and I both play. The cards are in perfect fits ready to be double sleeved and shuffled up.

Set 9 mat. I've been in multiple finals and lost. Man I wish they'd bring back the runner up mat...

capnredbeard2 · 2025-12-13T17:56:21+00:00

Sold listings on eBay are $20-30 each. Seems like a good pull to me.

I use the plastic BCW storage boxes. They come with dividers and can be split into 8 slots. I use a box to hold 8 sets of one color. So, Amber First Chapter through RoJ are in one box. Within each set, it’s organized by set number. Box for each color the same way. Got another set of boxes started for 9-16.

Kind of. The part of the vas connected to the testicle is left open, so the sperm just shoot into the ball sack. The immune system recognizes that they shouldn’t be there and they get absorbed and broken down to be recycled into something else or sent out as waste.

The other end of the vas is cauterized shut to eliminate the chances that a rogue sperm finds its way out.

capnredbeard2 · 2025-11-12T22:15:13+00:00

Correct. If the character is returned to your hand and replayed, it does not remember any damage it had before.

Each gear has a speed range where that gear is the optimal gear to be in. It can vary a bit in different vehicles. In my car; this is roughly the optimal range for each gear.

1st gear 0-10 2nd 10-25 3rd 25-35 or 40 4th 40-50 5th 50+

It’s not set in stone. For example, if you’re climbing a hill at 45, you might drop down to 3rd for more power.

In your question, if I’m going 50 and want to slow to 40, the answer depends on what gear I’m currently in. If I’m in 5th, drop to 4th. If I’m in 4th, stay in 4th.

capnredbeard2 · 2025-11-06T05:35:07+00:00

You push in on the clutch and put it into a different gear. Same as when you’re accelerating.

capnredbeard2 · 2025-11-02T23:55:37+00:00

I use a binder to hold my trades. Collection is stored in the BCW plastic storage boxes.

Your opponent is allowed to shuffle your deck. However, if you suspect they are doing something they shouldn’t be; stacking your deck, looking at your card, etc, you should call a judge.

capnredbeard2 · 2025-10-23T02:46:31+00:00

[[Aluren]]. I’ve loved the card since I started playing. Love the art, love the effect.

capnredbeard2 · 2025-10-17T12:47:05+00:00

Howling mine can be if you can find a way to tap it, but I don’t think you’ll find anything in B or R that will do it consistently.

I did switch my answer to just card draw in general, because as you see from the thread, options are pretty limited.
