@CactuarJoe Counterspell is up there with Lightning Bolt on the list of cards that made MTG what it is and should be part of an always-available basic set. Everything else should be balanced around these cards.

(Also, since I'm here, FUCK foils and ~mythic rares~.)

Just Jet and Sapphire to go now.

My favorite part of these things is they only take like an hour to make. I can use them as a warmup sketch

@jwisser YEAH

@CactuarJoe In MY DAY, Counterspell was an -interrupt-

Mana Leak today! Nobody appreciates Mana Leak but seriously, who has three extra mana hanging out when they cast a spell? Mana Leak is good.

@CactuarJoe what no f16?

@xerozohar I kinda want to do one joke version that's like a stealth fighter with gold trim and diamonds

@CactuarJoe yasssss

some of these cards got too much text, man

@CactuarJoe hand rendering text? In this economy?!

@xerozohar It's just not a sustainable economic system.

Seriously I'm gonna run myself out of markers and pens at this rate >_>

My brain: So what deck do you want to build after Stasis is done?

Me: Hm, I always liked Enchantment decks. I bet that'd be a fun Commander strategy

My brain: Excellent! Here's an idea for a deck using literally the wordiest cards in the entire game!

Me: You bastard.

My brain: Also I'm not gonna shut up about this until you plan it out

Me: Yes, thank you, I know. I do live here, you know.

@CactuarJoe our brains should compare notes. Reams and reams of notes

@xerozohar Maybe it'd get them out of our hair for half an hour >_>

Force Spike fTuesday

Mox Sapphire! Debating whether or not to round out the Power Nine or stick to the Lotus and Moxen.

As an aside, I picked up a couple of Dick Blick's in-house brand markers and they react VERY VERY strangely to attempts to blend colors.

The white highlights in the background of the Sapphire? Made by repeatedly tracing a line over with the lightest grey in the set I bought. It's, I don't know, *corrosive* or something. Very very odd.
