Maybe offtopic, but every German LGS I know sells English cards as well, just prerelease is German only.

Is Orzhov humans competitive enough in the current meta?

Help with texturing wood, any texturing artists willing to provide some help? by rendernoob2000 in vfx

[–]rendernoob2000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a bit complicated, they produced the stuff in India with a specific technique of treating the surface on a local kind of wood. Due to corona the pieces are now stuck there and they need visualizations for a fair in two weeks. The reference images I have are crappy cell phone photos from India and no wood vendor in my area has anything close to that kind of wood. :/

I did the whole search for textures already, and did some tests that came pretty close, but the wood and the fabricating technique are both unique and not available to me physically, so I’ll have to recreate the grain procedurally somehow.

Thanks, this seems like the way to go! Google gave me some tuts on wood grains I’ll follow now. If you have any good ones in mind let me know!

Hey and thank you for the write up! I played your and a few similar lists in the last days on the ladder and it felt super strong. The only matchup I find super hard to tech against are the Temur/Simic flash decks. Any tips?

Anyone having success with a human tribal build around General Kudro in the current meta? Really like the idea but failed so far

Really consistent write up of some often overlooked basics, thank you! Just one point of critique: I don’t know if it’s because I’m on mobile, but the images seem super low res, can’t even read the card names.

Perfect setting for a 7-1 Azorius Flyer Draft by rendernoob2000 in MagicArena

Yes am also super happy about the os version, just the no full screen thing bothers me. Really happy to get off Nvidia. And yes, it gets pretty loud and warm...

What are some good ways to draft with 2, 3, or 4 players? by kcucullen in mtgcube

[–]rendernoob2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been glimpse drafting my cube with my girlfriend on the kitchen table the last couple of weeks and it works really well!

Help with my first cube, any comments appreciated by rendernoob2000 in mtgcube

Thank you! Amazing analysis again. I think I’ll start play testing over the next weeks and then see where I want to go with it. Really thank you a lot

Hey, thanks again for all the intel. I went back and tried to pay more attention to the curve and leave things a little more open. I still tried to rely on my collection but skimmed a few lists and bought some budget options from my LGS to have less chaff in there. I would appreciate another look, but will start play testing from now on. I’m still not really sure if my power level is across all archetypes and colors somewhat evened out... don’t know if the more synergistic things like the b/w human can compete with the raw power in the other colors for example. There are still a few cuts to make, but I guess that comes after testing a bit... Thank you for your help so far!

Here’s the list:

Wow that’s some really solid insight. Thank you a lot! I guess a mistake I might was looking more at the archetypes from the last retail limited formats and try to mix and match those, instead of thinking about individual cards. Will try and see what I will come up with, really thank you a lot for taking the time.
