#tokentober day 6: 1/1 snake token with deathtouch

I’m on a cartoon copying kick. Today (2 days late) is Kaa from the Jungle Book.

If that weren’t past my east coast bed time, I’d be all in. Sounds amazing!

It turns out event stalls are pretty expensive, so I’m in need of some extra money to fund my last few events of the year. Time to part ways with these duals.

I’m thinking 190€ for the Savannah and 180€ for the Taiga, dm if interested!

El_Paz @el-paz.bsky.social · 3d

Ah, I haven’t done mine today! Gotta catch up tomorrow.

El_Paz @el-paz.bsky.social · 3d

Very good to know. My wife made a rule for herself that she will no longer start reading fantasy series that aren’t finished. She has 5 or 6 she’s waiting on.

I hope you enjoy The Dead Hand! It’s a good one.

El_Paz @el-paz.bsky.social · 3d

This is an awesome list! I have actually never read Saga. Should I start there? It looks like the first issue is free on the publisher’s website. I put all the rest on my list. Thanks!

El_Paz @el-paz.bsky.social · 3d

Oh boy, that’s a bad picture. Here it is in better light.

This was a rush job.

El_Paz @el-paz.bsky.social · 3d

Any recommendations on shorter series I should try out?

El_Paz @el-paz.bsky.social · 3d

There are so many sets that come out, and the pace is increasing. A lot of folks are burning out.
For comics I am so intimidated by the long running series. I love Hellboy - Mignola rules. I’ve found a few short series - The Dead Hand, The Suiciders. I came to Guardians of the Galaxy from the movies

Hi! 👋 Most of the art I make is related to Magic: the Gathering, but I like comics. Your art rocks.

#tokentober day 4: Clue.

Anyone else want Loot’s Clues to be WOTC’s next project?

Loot’s Clues. Clue token. To quote my wife: “oh, like Blue’s Clues. Cute.”

question for the timeline

El_Paz @el-paz.bsky.social · 5d

#tokentober day 3: 1/2 green Spider token with Reach.

Did you know that different types of spiders have different eye layouts? Google it, if you dare. These are wolf spider eyes on an orb spider body. I know, so rebellious of me.

An angry spider about to pounce, as a token. Look at how high it can reach! Just realizing now that the Reach is probably from spinning a web? Not because it has particularly long arms? Oh well, no web. Just long arms. The body and pose was from the Public Domain Image Archive, specifically Fairchild’s Book of Monsters (1914): https://publicdomainreview.org/collection/book-of-monsters/

#tokentober day 2: 1/1 Faerie with flying.

Here’s Sagatha from Disenchantment (Matt Groening fantasy show on Netflix)

“Sure, I’ve done a trick or two.”

Sharpie and micron pen on a Hello My Name Is sticker, on top of an advertising insert card.

Sagatha the faerie as a 1/1 blue faerie token with flying, probably giving some bad advice.

Tokentober thread 🧵

1. 5/5 dragon with flying.

Behold his majesty.

You can tell he flies because of his wing-a-lings. He’s too awesome to need anything like a keyword.

Who'd be up for a Tokentober challenge?

El_Paz @el-paz.bsky.social · 8d

Remember when they used to make only 3.5 sets per year? 3 expansions and a core?

El_Paz @el-paz.bsky.social · 8d

I’d run MoM, personally, even though Cenobite is stronger. Cenobite must be dealt with immediately, but feels less…clever. MoM has more interesting synergy with the Hare. Cenobite simply synergizes with everything.

A double sided etched metal token for a friend. Garfield as a 2/2 white Cat Beast, and a 1/1 colorless Shrine.

I don’t have any white enameled metal, so I use the raw aluminum for both white and colorless / artifact tokens.
