I might alter mine once I get better at it. Haven't had time for much painting recently and I need new brushes. Last thing I did was this thing.

Fantastic. /s

I just want to max out my Uchi and give it a Chaos infusion. Then, with a bunch of Soul Spears and stuff, I will just try and speed through new game cycles as fast as possible.

Hey, do you know if equipping multiple copies of the same spell reduces the casting cost or anything like that?

kyuuri117 says... #4

You can't equipt multiple copies of the same spell anymore. It used to make it more powerful if you did so. Now, I think if you buy multiples it makes it a little better. Not sure though.

Hmm. It might be worth the thousand soul investment to check, I guess. If it does, I'll just stop using Pyromancies. They don't have enough range for me anyways.

I just finished that Hanna deck I spoke of before. Have a million packages on the way atm. For basics, I'm thinking of these lands:

Like the plains a lot, don't like the island

April 18, 2016 6:11 p.m.

Arvail says... #11

I kinda feel you but looking at islands from the same era with the same borders, there are very few good choices to use. The ones currently in the deck are these:

Has anyone ever performed the Blighttown Drop before? That shit's harrowing.

Coinman1863 says... #15

TheDevicer, kamigawa panorama lands all the way. The only caveat is that you have to have Some of each land so you can make a panorama :P

Though some of the lands on their own look really nice like the second plains in on the left and the second island in an the right.

April 19, 2016 7:50 a.m.

kyuuri117 says... #16

Huh, I didn't know they formed a panorama. That's pretty cool.

Alara esper lands are extremely beautiful

As a bonus, this swamp is seriously in my top 3 faves

April 19, 2016 1:34 p.m.

Arvail says... #18

I decided to buy perfect fits and double sleeve instead. Keeping the revised lands in at least for now.

Island is best Island.

April 19, 2016 5:03 p.m.

Lorwyn Island is best island.

You guys know which one.

So I'm trying to get into commander and picking up all the staple pieces that I am going to use has proven to be rather difficult.

Dr.Ache says... #22

that Alara Swamp is actually amazing. Im a big fan of the Lorwyn swamp with the vibrant colors especially the foil version, and Im a fan of the 8ed island with the palm trees. I think it was originally printed in Invasion its really basic but it's my favorite 'island' art that actually depicts an island in the art.

April 19, 2016 10:42 p.m.

I've been trying to fight Ornstein and Smough for the past hour and a half. My chest hurts now.

April 20, 2016 2:58 a.m.

I'm partial to this Island whenever I play .

enter image description here

I use sets of the Shards of Alara lands for when I draft. Unfortunately I don't have enough of that particular Swamp :(

EDIT: Don't the Mirrodin lands also form a panorama? Maybe it's the Scars of Mirrodin lands?

April 20, 2016 8:39 a.m. Edited.

Dr.Ache says... #25

I know there is panoramas in Ice Age and Lorwyn, dont know about others

April 20, 2016 11:03 a.m. Edited.

for lands, I personally enjoy lorwyn, mirrodin and original ravnica foils. Each with a different art.

another thing thats looks nice for 2 color decks is, lets say in a red/green deck you have Mountain and Forest.

April 20, 2016 1:26 p.m.

Ohthenoises says... #28

For me it's the DCI foil lands. I'll try and pull up examples when I'm not on my phone later.

April 20, 2016 1:32 p.m.

@Ohthenoises I totally forgot about those.

Sk0oMa Just finished altering some cards for me, would definitely recommend if you're looking for something other than border extension.

Alters on damaged cards?

April 20, 2016 3:11 p.m.

kyuuri117 says... #32

Doesn't really bother me. Could always take a black sharpie to the edges I guess.

Dr.Ache says... #34

Im awestruck- both by the number of panoramas and the sharpie comment. Why wouldnt you just ask the alterer to touch up the damage for you?

April 20, 2016 4:22 p.m.

Arvail says... #35

A NM playset costs under a dollar. Why even bother touching the cards up?

April 20, 2016 4:45 p.m.

Dr.Ache says... #36

well, mostly because they've been altered. I guess it doesnt much matter if he does it or the alterer does it

April 20, 2016 4:56 p.m.

kyuuri117 says... #37

They were his playset. I was going to get a set and send em to him, since I was using the promo foils, but he offered to use his own set. Didn't ask about the condition.

April 20, 2016 5:21 p.m.

Sk0oMa says... #38

Yeah that's my bad. I meant to touch them up before I sent them! I totally forgot to! I used a set I had lying around to save time and get them out sooner...I didn't know they were scuffed so much before I dug hem out.

ONLINE FIGHTING GAMES SUCK ASS

ahem. Had to get that out of my system.

Anyway, I actually had zero clue that panoramic land art existed. Also Unhinged lands are god-tier.

Has anyone played the Bloodborn DLC? Is it any good?

April 20, 2016 11:25 p.m.

Dr.Ache says... #41

The alters themselves are definitely unique. I don't think I've ever seen alters quite like them. It's an interesting idea and definitely very artistic, so kudos to that. Is the foiling process something you came up with Skooma or did you see it somewhere?

April 20, 2016 11:34 p.m.

Sk0oMa says... #42

No, I am the only alter artist that I know that uses gold leaf to the extent that I do. My friend Kevin LePage uses it as well and is remarkable, but he really only ever does tiny details or border lines etc...I have been using gold leaf in my larger fine art paintings and what not for years though.

Sk0oMa you know Kevin? I met him at MKM series Toulouse, I got his triple altered Kytheon and got a Brimaz and my foil Elspeth altered by his hands :D

So sad news, apparently Prince was found dead in his apartment today. He was recently hospitalized with the flu, but they thought he was fine and he went home. Dunno if that's what did him in or not though. Somewhat ironic that Prince died on the Queens birthday.
