@mtgcritical.bsky.social asked me to paint a Fleem cosplaying as Niv Mizzet. I twisted it slightly into adorable post trick or treating Fleem in a Niv Mizzet costume. He turned out pretty cute.

genuinely, fleem seems like a really fun card to pilot in standard, i would probably pivot to grixis looting if vv got banned just cuz it seems really cool and fun to play

aigys @aigys.bsky.social · 1d

but ive definitely had games where i won without the cauldron or without vv, those games have felt a lot more interesting to me as a pilot than the games where i assemble 20+ damage in one turn, much to think about

aigys @aigys.bsky.social · 1d

im no pro but a lot of vvc does feel kinda luck based, getting the combo is kinda inconsistent and you have a lot of looting to help find it faster but you can still get outpaced very quickly

aigys @aigys.bsky.social · 1d

curious if the main reason mono red is doing so well rn is because vv c is 25% of the meta or if vvc is keeping it in check, to be seen i suppose, seriously doubt that wotc is gonna ban vv though atp it kinda feels like its being checked by a lot of decks rn

aigys @aigys.bsky.social · 1d

vv cauldron isnt overwhelming the meta anymore but i still hope that it gets banned cuz i dont wanna play it anymore LOL

anyway spent an hour fact checking that thread just in case i was stupid with numbers so now i am going to bed oops

the moral of the story is to never collect cards because theyre expensive for no reason

aigys @aigys.bsky.social · 6d

i got pretty lucky cracking open my first box of magic the gathering, collecting the set's mythic god cycle, and only missing a few rares, im excited to work towards finally finishing this initial goal of collecting my first set. glad it is a pretty inexpensive set to collect, all things considered.

aigys @aigys.bsky.social · 6d

i will probably never really finish this collection, the japanese liliana was already a huge wall to overcome (~$120 at best) and some of these additions are double the price on its own. thankfully, the thing i care about the most, the main set, is relatively cheap.

aigys @aigys.bsky.social · 6d

39 pages of 9 cards, no empty slots save for the last page, which i may try to dedicate to 9 retro foil spark doubles cuz that card is my favorite.

aigys @aigys.bsky.social · 6d

346 was so frustratingly close, 38 pages of 9 cards with a 39th page who would have five cards missing. Five cards which could conveniently be filled in by the SDCC '19 promo cards.... at this point, unless i can find 9 random cards that are meaningful to this collection, im satisfied

aigys @aigys.bsky.social · 6d

two very special collections of cards, Mythic Edition, and San Diego Comic-Con 2019. now both of these sets of cards are outside of War of the Spark, but they both were or started as WAR promotion material, MED's last release was WAR, SDCC '19 was only WAR promo cards. WAR:MED was 8 cards. 346 total

aigys @aigys.bsky.social · 6d

i go to the scryfall sets master-list and scroll to WAR, i think to myself, maybe collecting the whole block (GRN, RNA, WAR) would help round this out? but that is such an extreme addition to my plan of collecting this set, there has to be something easier, then i notice two very particular things

aigys @aigys.bsky.social · 6d

but thats ok.... the promo cards with unique art/frames looked cool too, thats an extra 8 cards? 338, not divisible by 9. i agonize for a while, what can i do to fill out these pages in a way that lets me use them evenly?? i was pretty restricted to the main set.

aigys @aigys.bsky.social · 6d

and then i think to myself, well, the set has cards that make tokens, so i should collect the tokens! i have all of them anyhow so it would be a zero cost inclusion! There are 19 tokens. 330 is not divisible by 9.

aigys @aigys.bsky.social · 6d

but thats ok! there were some extra cards made for the equivalent of starter decks... 10 extra cards.... 310 is not divisible by 9... and the buy-a-box promo is one card, 311 is not divisible by 9........ this is becoming very taxing on my soul.

aigys @aigys.bsky.social · 6d

the main set is 264 cards, thats not evenly divisible by 9, card albums are usually 3x3 layouts so im planning around dividing the cards by 9. thats ok though, i wanted to collect the japanese exclusive planeswalkers as well, that'll add 36 cards, 36 is divisible by 9 but, annoyingly, 300 is not

aigys @aigys.bsky.social · 6d

just spent the last 3 hours looking at my incomplete war of the spark collection and it went from an $80 prospect (which is a lot) to a $700 prospect because i wanted better page division orz
