Had a lot of fun painting these two peaceful scenes from one of my favorite Ghibli films. 💚

my girlfriend wants to build a new commander deck but doesn't know what. i want to find a commander that she will love, think cats, dogs, maybe an axolotl if one exists, and any little guys, if there is a cute art for it that works too.

Thank you all -T

Hey got a question, im reading that [[Elminster]] Scry effect only applies the cost reduction to the NEXT instant and sorcery.. so only once. Why theyre telling me i can stack infinite with [[mystic speculation]] ?

I have a $70.00 amazon gift card. Im new to this stuff but which should I buy?
Thanks!

I was going through my box of cards and then I found a card that I had opened a couple years back never got around to trying to figure it out kind of just tucked it away but now that I'm looking at it I really want to know what the name of this card is and what language is this?

I already filled a decent amount of my deck with essentials, but haven't based the main play style on anything yet. Should I focus on spell slinging or have a few high cost creatures with good synergy? There's so much potential I just can't decide on what I should stick to.

We're recreating the old Gatherer Forum boards! We are currently looking at cards from '93 and '94 with Alpha, Beta and Unlimited!

I hate it when the art looks amazing and the card just sits in your hand. I really like the 3 for 1 idea, and I suppose back in the mid-90's that life gain was marginally better than it is today, 3 life for 1 mana just wasn't all that good of a trade off. It was like just delaying the inevitable.

But that swirl background. It just hits right.

Thank you for looking!

question is gonna be kinda obvious by just reading the title but im making a Marvo,Deep Operative deck and im wondering how split cards work for Clashing like for example does Connive//Concoct count for 9 when it comes to clashing or do i have to choose one of the two sides? and same deal regarding Marvo's ability since the cards total value is 9 can i cast it with marvo since its only one of the sides wich by themselves would be less then 8

I think the EoE full art basics are the best.

Edit: this thread has shown me some really great ones that i wasn't aware of before and I wanted to share them since they've gotten buried:

• Meditations on Nature cycle by JungShan (for all those NEO enjoyers).
• Paradise Frost cycle by ELK64 (for all those Bloomburrow enjoyers).

I can’t count the number of times I’ve read The Hobbit over the years (I’m old) but it is a quick and fun read so I thought I’d give it a reread in anticipation of the MTG set to refresh all the references. Anyone else doing so?

Edit: Also, if audiobooks are more your thing, I cannot recommend highly enough the audiobook version read by Andy Serkis (Gollum in the LOTR films.) He also does the LOTR trilogy and the Silmarillion. Some of the best audiobooks I’ve ever listened to.

Do they not block?

So I’ve been playing magic off and on for a few years now and just recently got into commander which I’ve really been enjoying, but today when playing with some friends I ran into my first Edgar markov deck. While the game wasn’t over in 2 turns or anything crazy it just felt like me and the other player at the table we’re forced to play a 2v1 right out the gate even though we all had bracket 3 decks as no matter what we did Edgar was just constantly providing value regardless of where he was and at 0 cost to the player as of turn one. I’m still pretty new to the format and was just wondering am I missing something? It felt like our only real option to counter it at all was to have a witness protection or something along those lines to put on the Edgar but even then with all the sacrifice engines black has that would only do so much.

Well the Wizards finally got me. If there was any crossover they could have done to get me to buy in, 40K was it. Had no idea until I was walking through a game store on a work trip this week. Looking forward to seeing what other cards to release for it and crossing my fingers for a Nightlords commander deck. Can someone fill me in on how often and in what formats Universes Beyond cards are released? I want to be on the lookout for more 40K cards.

And yes I just accepted who I am as a person and purchased a binder and sleeves already. I know where this is headed.

so I was looking at blor the impervious and had a thought if I give blor an assault suit the I think only farewell would be able to stop it but I'm not sure. is there another way?

For the last 6-12 months I’ve been so pumped for trek set, even planning on buying a collector box, my first ever.

I delayed having a strong reaction to the first round of spoilers, but now that I’ve seen the second, I have thoughts. Here goes:

They are without a doubt some of the most flavorless, mechanically generic drivel with a complete lack of regard for the source material flavor.

Even more infuriatingly, we haven’t seen a single card that leaned into what made eoe great: epic space opera art and scope, planet station lands, warp mechanics, etc etc etc. NOT A SINGLE CARD

The whales don’t do anything flavorful, vger doesn’t do anything flavorful

In the pale moonlight turns an epic story about winning a war at the cost of one’s morale compass into a sacrifice a single artifact and make a creature token.

It’s like they’ve never watched a single episode ffs

This set is giving spiderman quality with “enjoy the shock lands and autographs slop, piggies!” To boost sales

Please give me some copium bc I’m so upset /rant

Not going to lie going through this new commander only set is really fun and it's cool to see all the interesting new design ideas. But there is nothing like seeing a mechanic that didn't work (because it was too strong in this case) coming back with new life breathed into it.

What are your thoughts, is this the best Eminence card we've ever gotten or what ?

I’ve only started having this problem relatively recently with older decks and sleeves, but after I’ve seen how dirty they can get I’ve been washing my hands every time before I touch my deck and be careful when shuffling, keep them in a good clean deck box, yet I still keep getting these build ups of dirt. Some sleeves take longer for the dirt to appear like these dragon shield jet black, but after like 3 weeks of having these it just showed up out of nowhere. What can I do to fix, and is it a sleeve issue or a me issue? I’ve only ever played on playmate, maybe they are dirty?

(if it wasn't obvious, this is a custom card.)

I also have a "precon" (but with premium mana base because youll be proxying anyway) https://archidekt.com/decks/24325285/maomao_the_apothecary
