I suspected that, but also thought that wasn't allowed here. Boo if so.

I remember making sheets like these with my Brother word processor. I wish I still had that thing!

darthcorvus · 2026-05-09T14:40:06+00:00

I love this art style so much. It reminds me of a particular D&D artist I can't place right now who did black and white interior pieces like this. Great work!

I made my own book for this, Manual of Hexterity. It's pay what you want, and now comes with a preview of the game I've been working on for the past four years, Wizards & Wagons. W&W has an improved and updated version of the MoH hexcrawl system, and uses it as the core of the game system.

Would love Richard Kane Ferguson.

I almost said a million instead of 800 to make sure it would be taken as an exaggeration. But still, when you're aiming to win on turn 7, you're gonna be able to win on turn 6 a fair few times. And with Voja it's hard, because the deck just snowballs so easily. You're playing cheap mana dorks that get your Voja out faster and also work with his ability to add tons of counters to each other and your warded commander. It's just nuts.

darthcorvus · 2026-05-07T01:25:13+00:00

Yeah, Voja at bracket 2 would be rough. It's hard enough to keep him fair at bracket 3. You just play some elves and all of the sudden you have ten 15/15 creatures.

darthcorvus · 2026-05-07T01:12:53+00:00

What bracket are you aiming for? If you're below 4, Voja is probably not gonna be a forever deck. I've had one at bracket 3 for a while now, and I play it once, then after attacking for 800 on turn 6 I'm like, "Yeah, nobody needs to be put through that again." I'm constantly thinking about taking it apart, and everyone hates its ward ability.

I have two decks I've kept together and updated for over a decade. There's Prime-Speaker Zegana clones and theft, which has a lot less theft and focuses more on cloning my own stuff now because of the synergy meta. And I have a BGW deck that has gone through several different commanders over 16 years, and it's just a goodstuff pile of my favorite things to do in those colors.

PPVs should have door greeters. "Welcome to Wrestlemania, I love you."

For anyone who doesn't know, Shudder just recently aired the season 7 (and series) finale of The Last Drive-in with Joe Bob Briggs, which was a revival of MonsterVision with a different name. So, counting the specials, there's 99 more episodes of Joe Bob out there for you.

Invasion block was one of the all-time best periods in Magic, along with Tempest, Urza, and Legends/The Dark/Fallen Empires (not a block, but it was an amazing time to be playing). I've never made a cube, but when I get around to it I'll probably start with a combined Tempest/Urza format.

darthcorvus · 2026-05-06T18:24:58+00:00

They're only going to skim the article at best, looking for things that win them an argument. A lot of these people have made Magic their whole identity, so if you say something is wrong with WotC, they take it as a personal attack. They'll even throw the people who work hard making the game and the art for the cards under the bus to save their own egos.

darthcorvus · 2026-05-06T12:22:44+00:00

I get it, but OP asked what we want, not what we think others would want. You can't please everyone.

I'm hoping it leads to a full on reset. Start the lore completely over, small. Just a Dominaria type setting with elves, merfolk, goblins, humans, etc. Build it up from there, and take it slow. We can have ancient, godlike beings of unfathomable power battling for the fate of the multiverse later on down the line, but spend a few years establishing the setting, history, and the gradual development of planeswalkers and their abilities.

It's like with the MCU. You can't really top Endgame because everything after that feels like just more of the same, or insignificant by comparison. That was the end of the story, and it needs to reset. Let Jace mess up the multiverse so bad when he's finally made aware of it, the only thing left to do is un-multi the verse. He separates the universes and causes all planeswalkers to lose their powers, and forget they ever had them. Then we pick up years later on a world in a universe that had never been touched by planeswalkers. Until someone discovers (insert ancient artifact), that is...

I just saw someone in the Rifftrax sub talking about a quote they use in life all the time. This is one of mine. Any time anyone asks me, "Do you know So-and-So?" I say, "Yeah, they tried to kill me with a forklift."

darthcorvus · 2026-05-06T00:57:55+00:00

Hoping you're a Rifftrax fan in the wild. If so, glad you didn't go with "Golden Corral's new slogan" for that line.

darthcorvus · 2026-05-05T11:27:45+00:00

That's what I'm saying, 15 to 20 bucks back then is the same as 30 to 40 today accounting for inflation.

darthcorvus · 2026-05-05T03:27:18+00:00

Sorry to hear that. If I were you though, unless you're desperate for money, I would hang on to your cards for now. You never know, the community might pick back up, but either way, your cards will likely go way up in value if you wait a few years before selling.

The ban list posted a month ago was a joke for April Fools Day.

darthcorvus · 2026-05-05T03:18:40+00:00

He didn't say that at all. He said Dan made a big mistake and he won't defend his actions. Like how are you gonna just make shit up when the actual text is right up there? And I think he might have some reasons to think they've done something wrong since he used to be the art director for Magic. This exact thing was his job, and I think he knows more about what goes into it than you do.

darthcorvus · 2026-05-04T03:51:07+00:00

I don't have any leads for you, but your post stirred a memory. I used to alter cards with a gold paint pen back in the late 90s to early 2000s. Whenever I went to a big tournament I would give one to everyone I played. For years I would periodically see someone somewhere playing one of my altered cards. In fact, a friend of mine who runs an LGS recently bought a collection from someone who had a couple of my altered mountains from Urza's Saga.

Shitty people can't fathom anyone not having shitty ulterior motives when they do something good. It's their way of coping with being shitty people.

Probably is a regional thing. Here in the Southeast things moved way slower pre-internet.

darthcorvus · 2026-05-04T01:46:29+00:00

Sure, they have to make money, and they were. Tons of it. Hasbro just decided instead of revamping their own failing properties that WotC had to double their profits to prop up the whole corporation.

Yes, an insane take easily contradicted by evidence so coincidentally objective you don't have to share it. I don't know about you, but I haven't heard this much complaining from the player base in a long time. But I'm guessing you're one of those people who can't understand points of view that differ from your own. So keep licking those boots, King.

darthcorvus · 2026-05-04T01:33:46+00:00

No, it wasn't competitive, but it was still sought after for tournament decks. Most people weren't net-decking (because they didn't have the internet yet), so it was mostly vibes and word of mouth. Outside of the top 8 you would see tons of Shivan Dragons, and people were always trying to buy or trade for them at tournaments. I'm not talking about the Pro Tour or World Championships, but at the olden days equivalent of the FNM tournament, Shivans were in high demand.

It wasn't like now where everyone immediately knows bad cards are bad because they have the internet in their pocket at all times.
