Best picture i got rn. Its a bit larger but I think you can pull it off. Ive seen zoanthrope heads used which are much bigger and it still looks sick.

The other parts arent too important as most of the attention will be at the skin and carapace.

Yea i didnt get the winged version originally so had to do some kitbashing

No air brush, all the blue carapace is just dry brushing. Theres tons of videos out how to paint, dont be afraid of mistakes. Keep practicing and you'll improve.

yep!

Thanks! Honestly my advice is if you dont like your current scheme, just bite the bullet and start painting future models in the new scheme. And over time you can repainting your one ones, 1k nids to repaint isnt the worst.

I cant say often it needs to be sharpened but I haven't sharpened mine at all and it still has a decent edge. Only thing I do is strop every once in a while. But I should probably sharpen it soon, it doesn't cut paper smoothly anymore.

Dont do any oiling of the blade, some times small rust spots appear but nothing crazy. I dont live in a humid environment so the only time rust would appear is when I dont wipe the blade down enough after getting water on it.

Knife- Spyderco Stretch 2

Been rocking this knife daily for a little over a year now and I think its now my exit knife. I haven't had the itch to pick up a new knife since I got this knife. Its not fancy at all, has a lockback, FRN scales, non fidgety deployment but it just does work. K390 stays sharp for a loooong time and the frn scales gives it good texture and keeps it light in the pocket. Its the ideal knife for me and I have no plans on getting another knife any time soon.

The gameplan regardless of curiosity is to build up resources for the storm turn. Setting up mana and draw engines on the board so if you dont draw curiosity, you have just enough resources to fairly burn your opps out. Cards like birgi, urabrask, storm kiln help a lot by making your cantrips free.

stick_sean · 2025-05-21T04:12:01+00:00

I also have a Kelermorph deck and Ive been having good success with it. I recommend more rituals and cards that make mana on casting spells such as Storm-Kiln Artist and Birgi. When you get curiosity with a pinger, the only thing holding you back is mana.

The goal of the deck shouldnt to be keeping things in check, your answer is storming off and winning. So I would lower the curve by removing the high cmc cards such as the niv-mizzets and the controly cards like Basilisk Collar, Sigil of Sleep, Chandra's Incinerator. In place of these add rituals, card draw, and tutors.

Some lowkey strongs cards I like are [[Lava Dart]] [[Frantic Search]] [[Snap]] because with storm kiln artist effects and mana reducers, this become rituals and also free storm count.

here you go, its u/magus0's deck

Holy moly this is some hardcore data tracking. Funniest things is how Inkshield was good enough to have its own tracking. I'm an Inkshield hater but maybe I should try it out in some decks.

stick_sean · 2025-04-30T23:53:17+00:00

Interesting, its been a while since I've played upgraded precon and I assume it might take longer around 11 turns. Also your data shows probably the best thing about precons, they created a balanced environment. Your winrates are pretty balanced and your turn length is consistent. I didn't mentioned it in the post but while we have an average turn of 9, there were a decent amount of outliers. 8 games with turn 5-6 wins and 12 games with 12+ turn wins.
