MTG Salvation

I have to agree about the swords being underwhelming.

Better to play greaves, boots, plate, cloak, and my personal favorite, General's Kabuto.

Deadapult is one of the best reasons to add red to Zombies.

Quote from HolyProxyBatman

I've used a lot of photography. Seems to work best for lands and various animal tokens.

Desecration Demon.

HPB, that's been my Kaalia art for six months.

I have to say that Genzoman's art is fantastic for just about anything you want to do with it, though.

Anyone who wants to see the decklists should PM me, I don't want to make this a financially trolling thread.

I tried DR a few times, and I found that my greed worked against me. I wanted to wait till I hit at least eight mana.

Knowing myself, IA is better--I cast it as soon as I can, and if I have a spare 8 later, I'll go for it.

I've got more EDH decks than I could possibly play regularly.

I used to be near a store where I could find a game any day of the week, with at least two nights a week dedicated to Commander games.

This encouraged me to build a deck whenever I had the urge or idea, because I'd get to play a lot of games with it immediately.

However, I've moved, and I'm playing less. I also have a rickety car.

Therefore, I've decided to take my least-played decks (6 of my current 15) and sell them off.

I want to hear from folks who have done this. I've sold cards on eBay before, and had a positive experience.

Just breaking down a deck for trade fodder is not an option--I did that before and it took forever to get things traded. I want the cash.

I see three options:
1) sell a deck whole. Make a list, sell.
2) sell the pieces worth more than a couple bucks, keep the rest in bulk.
3) take the deck to a dealer (probably at a GP or some such) and get a buylist price. I realize that's less cash, but the most certain way to get cash.

Thoughts?

I dig these cards! I would encourage you to cross-post in the DR thread too.

I always like the white text, even if I have to add the shadow to make it legible.

I also really like your use of a semi-transparent text box, something I rarely do, mainly because shrinking the box makes translucency redundant.

Don't worry about nerdity. The DR thread has a Growing Ranks featuring Calvin and Hobbes's Duplicator. With Calvin's signature.

I feel like Zeerbe! I got a request! (It was actually a couple pages back)

Who knew the Oracle wording was so odd?

Don't forget black has Visara the dreadful and Avatar of Woe.

Similar mana costs, much cheaper to use.

The original thread was in the cube forum, suggesting that some folks made a whole cube from custom work.

I'm very impressed at the thought, and that includes lands, I suppose.

I'm down to half an hour-twenty minutes to make a super-art card, if I've got the art picked out. A whole EDH deck made from this...nicely done.

One thing that's barely been mentioned is the interactions you don't have because of Maze.

Someone will attack a different player, because "you will just maze my guy" and that's a wasted attack. Only in a few games will players come together and plan out how one will make you use the maze so the other can get there.

I agree, though: it is very good, it's worth a spell slot, but I don't think it's an auto-include.

Rocker, try varying your search terms. I'd go with things that talk about souls, maybe necromancy, or lich.

I'd also suggest Shadowness.com or cghub.com for your image needs.

We can't really help you find 'good art'...because only you know what you'll like.

You could do it that way, but I take a layer of ououo (three black circles) and bucket fill those so they are the gray, red, green.

Zeerbe just released his all-in-one for GIMP users, too. Haven't looked through it yet.

It's crazy how hard GIMP makes you work for the mana costs. Three layers for 1RG!
