Oh dang, that's a lot of new followers.

Hi folks! I'm Jake (or Jaymic), and I do some freelance creative text work for Magic. Please expect most of my posts to be about said Magic.

I also dip my toe into story content creation now and again. Might do that soon if I can find the right platform.

Magic the Gathering card Resistance Skywarden. I wrote the flavor text: When the Vulshok taught him the word for "home," he knew it was what he had been fighting for.

Magic the Gathering card Glissa Sunslayer. I contributed the name.

Magic the Gathering card Vanish into Eternity. I wrote both the name and flavor text: Faced with a blast that would level not only New Phyrexia, but also a dozen innocent worlds, Elspeth consigned it - and herself - to the nothingness in between.

Magic the Gathering card Lonely Arroyo. I created the flavor text character of Big Ralph.

Every deck I built with it was named some variation of FullMill Alchemist

Phenax was my main deck for years! Also, I've tried to make Undead Alchemist work in more formats than anyone should.

I always thought it would be very funny, once there's enough crossover IPs, to have a commander dech where every card is a different franchise. I don't think we're even that far off.

Make the commander 5C Sisay or something.

I mean, I'm doing the same thing for my FFXIV character over a Mr Foxglove, so I can just do both

I'd have to go full proxy over alter tho. The name Vincent Valentine over a picture of Michael Myers might be a bit too much cognitive dissonance. X D

Stalker / pursuer?

The reverse side of Vincent Valentine, Galian Beast

I so love your depiction of all of these. : )

Out of curiosity, do you plan to include the Shadowkeeper, or is she a bit too niche?

Though per my post yesterday, Michael feels monoblack to me.

I have a Mogis voltron/enchantress list meant to feel like a slasher villain. I really should get a copy altered as Michael.

Possibly my favorite movie ever.

I personally consider the three Halloweens I noted as a trilogy and mostly disregard the rest. Winds up almost poetic.

Jaymic, the Spider-Mancer @maelstrompulse.bsky.social · 1d

It's still no Halloween, but the plot and pacing are definitely more engaging than the first F13.

Nissa once used Jace as a bludgeoning weapon. Adeline's bones would not survive the encounter.

Jaymic, the Spider-Mancer @maelstrompulse.bsky.social · 1d

Whoa there. I mean, I prefer Chandra with Nissa too, but I don't want to see Adeline get murdered.

It's pretty good! I didn't personally enjoy it as much as some folks did, but I expect you'll have a good time.

This is your monthly reminder: if you like a piece of writing, a piece if art, etc-- TELL THE PERSON WHO MADE IT!!! Leave a comment, tell them with *words* that you like it.
Seriously, it goes *such* a long way.

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.
