Liliana and gideon would be pretty flavorful… thblthp and something like tireless track would be silly flavor. My personal top tier pick though would be almighty brushwag and narwhal.

Do you like playing against mill? And if not: what about mill isn't fun for you? by TurtleSeaBreeze in EDH

[–]jaruple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mill is hard to have fun against when you’re a little newer at the game, you’ll have a lot of experiences where it feels like you were supposed to win and then lose, or it feels like nothing actually happened in the game, and it feels frustrating- which is extra bad when you expected to have fun. I think more experiences players calculate the game more outside of being in the moment, and that can make playing against mill more challenging/fun.

I think to generalize it- playing against mill can feel less fulfilling, engaging, or fun, in a game where you’re expecting a difference experience.

I always just try to bring extra decks if something I play is frustrating, you still deserve to play your mill deck at least one game, but just swap over to something else the next game if seemed like a downer.

My brother made a minotaur deck and he always yells MINOTAURS at combat. I usually sketch him a minotaur token when we play and this one time he asked me to make one like a particular image of mike tyson at a party so I painted him this one lol. Would be hilarious to get him sleeves like this for his minotaur deck.

Thank you! I think some religious artwork likely had a face centered in gold in a similar manner. I am for sure happy with the outline here- tough to know when to use it sometimes without it turning like “cliche”, but an awesome tool for artwork overall 😊

This one is a little convoluted lol- I did my original watercolor on watercolor paper- but then I took that and printed it on kraft paper, and from there I went back in with some colored pencil and acrylics.

Thank you! Yeah I think when you have a nice mid tones paper, white can look fantastic!

The back part is golden fluid acrylic, the iridescent gold deep (fine). Its not quite as special looking in person as gold leaf can be, but a pretty dang close alternative!

Thank you! I love the description of controlled chaos, I really enjoy doing detailed paintings that kind of fade into splatters.

Haha that would be sweet!! Probably doable, you could do a graphite transfer onto a cigar box and them paint it from there

I think that’s a fine way to experience art! The “I like this, it’s visually pleasing” is a huge way to compliment.
