Exponential Growth card altered with acrylic paint and gel pen. An abstract background of green brush strokes with a curved section of a bluer green on the bottom and right edges of the card. Three white lines of varying weight run along the bottom and right edges of the card. Three circles vaguely follow the curve filled with repeated parallel lines following increasingly steep angles. #mtg #magicthegathering #mtgalters #mtgalters

Can't let the real world distract me from my silly little art projects

Get a nice reveal going and all the Magic the Gathering baddies come running.

questing beast - Value Vintage A Value Vintage deck created on Moxfield by el_paz.

Thoughts on Spore Frog / Questing Beast / Genesis / Sun Titan for Value Vintage?

I’m thinking a Ghostly Possession or two could be fun also.

I heard that line was the culmination of a bunch of takes, with tons of scripted and unscripted lines, and at last, that on-the-nose piece of comedic genius.

European starling. They’re somewhat invasive, often stick to cities, and they’re beautiful, especially the males in spring time

Agreed!

My mother-in-law took a trip to Australia and called me from an LGS she stumbled into, somehow. She knows I like Magic, an asked if she could buy me anything. “Oh, you don’t have to, but if you want to, maybe a play booster of Lorwyn Eclipsed?”

Holy cow, Noni, nice pack.

Ok now I really have to figure out going. Gotta talk to the spouse.

Yes! Don’t yuck someone else’s yum. We need more sincere positivity in this world, and I try to approach my blind spots and non-preferences with curiosity, or at least support.

Been sitting on this idea for a while, finally put it down

Came here to say this.

Nice find!
I was about to complain that they should have Errata’d this to be a Desert (to be consistent with the 4 new “Oasis” cards from OTJ and MH3) but then I realized I’m totally fine with it not having a land type.

I’ve got a tic-tac-toe top left to bottom right, and vertical middle if you swap mortal kombat for Street Fighter 2.
Great picks.

Story! What card?

An early morning timestamp on a photo of ~20 small pours of hard liquor.

Get after it! But for real, looks thoughtful and professional. And hopefully delicious.

Crawlspace to limit the breadth
Stuffy Doll to hurt then for attacking

A partially erased Island, and the piece of 400 grit sandpaper I’m using to do it.

It’s been a little while since I sanded a card to blank it. Gonna bust out my trusty Sharpies.
400 grit sandpaper, to be followed by an eraser to pick up more of the ink dust.

I love the lone non-Golgari white pip.

This is such a strong list.

They added Linear A symbols to Unicode?

The untranslated script that the Minoans used 4000 years ago? Phew, now we can text without transliterating into, say, Linear B (which has actually been translated and also added to Unicode in September)

Apparently I’m not subtle.

Spurious Correlations Correlation is not causation: thousands of charts of real data showing actual correlations between ridiculous variables.

They make small jars and big jars, which means you could put the small jars in a big jar, and that's a jar jar. Then you can disturb it a little and as it settles, jar jar clinks.

I want to see a man-hole cover but I don’t know what it would represent. Clue? Phased Out? Or paint a man-hole cover onto Fabled Passage?

DO IT! It’s a fun game.

It bothers me in theory. Something that is legendary is, by definition, rare, or even mythical (regular definition, not MtG Rarity). Not simply uncommon or common.
Gameplay: I haven’t played them in limited, so don’t know.
Set building: UB IP will have lots of characters, and should be legendary.

Anyone who cares about Phyrexian script should check out Ogham, a real script used for ~1000 years to write Old Irish.

Corded Ware culture - Wikipedia

Neolithic / near-prehistoric cultures are amazing. There is a culture that lived across northern Eurasia from 3000-2350 BCE (that’s >100 years longer than Europeans have been in America), and we simply call them the “corded ware” culture after the pottery they made. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corded_...
