I Have a Question / I need Help Does anyone know what this card is?

Post image
Upvotes

Hopefully reddit freaking works and shows the picture this time.

I got this card from an ebay order, i have no idea what it is and cannot get the MTG companion app to translate it for me, it is a 1 generic 1 green mana 5/4 with the number 121/ 275 C followed by the letters STX JP with the artist ilse gort and is dated for 2021. The image on the card looks like a moss covered bear or wolf snarling and coming out of some water in what looks like a swamp. Is there anyone who can figure out what card this is for me?

EDIT: Geez, its been less than 4 minutes lol. Thank you everyone, problem solved i appreciate the help!

I’ve been playing Magic for a couple years now, mostly commander with some pre-release events in there as well, and wanted to build a deck around the Quandrix I got from sos prerelease, never built or even played Simic, I used cards that I had on hand, and was hoping for some advice on if this would be fun for my casual games my friends and I have. Just finished building yesterday, hoping to use it on Monday!

I've spotted the official star trek captain deck boxes online. Does anyone know if there will be a borg themed or borg cube deck box?

Seems like a missed opportunity if there isn't. I'm getting the Borg commander deck so i really want to get a nice box for it. They are my favourite villains in the Star Trek universe.

Rules Question Does Princess Yue work with clones how I think she does?

Thumbnail gallery
Upvotes

If I have Princess Yue on the battlefield and I play a copy creature like [[Clone]] it could enter as a copy of her and then the Legend Rule would put one of them into the graveyard. If I put the clone into the graveyard it would trigger her ability to return to the battlefield as a land named Moon that gains the ability to tap for colorless. But since it can enter as a copy of any creature on the battlefield it would return as a copy of something (applied on layer 1), is named Moon overriding it's previous name (applied layer 3), is a land overriding it's previous types (applied layer 4) and gains T: add {C} without losing any of the abilities of what it copied (applied layer 6).

Hello, I am relatively new to magic and wanted to make a deck that contained mostly bear cards but was also not too expensive. I got this idea after getting a couple of bear cards with the hobbit release. Can anyone give me any pointers on the deck of what to add/replace and anyways to make it slightly cheaper without sacrificing too much power? Any help is appreciated, thank you!!

I Have a Question / I need Help A Sculptures-only Deck?

A Sculptures-only Deck?

“Sculptures have power & toughness that are equal to the number of Sculptures you control”

Goal:
A Sculpture, artifact creature token / tribal deck - try to go wide and tall as possible!

Key Creature:
“Doomed Artisan” - Sculptures you control can’t attack or block. At the beginning of your end step, create a colorless Sculpture artifact creature token with “This token’s power and toughness are each equal to the number of Sculptures you control.”
(To my knowledge, this is the only card in MTG that generates Sculpture tokens. Please correct me if I’m wrong.)

This poses some issues:
1) In order for the Sculpture engine to work, Doomed Artisan needs to be tutored, protected, and have recursion possibilities, etc. Because if they go to the graveyard, the sculpture engine shuts down. (Might be good as a secret commander?)
2) Doomed Artisan needs to be flickered, blinked, or bounced before Combat phase - so that the Sculptures can be “unlocked” to attack or block. But needs to be able to return to generate more sculptures.
3) Once per turn (or End phase) is not ideal/is slow/is clunky. So we need ways to copy, multiply, or populate them.

Token Multipliers (or anything with Keyword: Populate):
• Mondrak, Glory Dominus (Creature - 2x tokens)
• Ojer Taq, Deepest Foundation (Creature - 3x tokens)
• Adrix and Nev, Twincasters (Creature - 2x tokens)
• Vitu-Ghazi Guildmage (Creature - pay 4 mana to a copy of a token)
• Doubling Season (Enchantment - 2x tokens)
• Parallel Lives (Enchantment - 2x tokens)
• Primal Vigor (Enchantment - 2x tokens and 2x counters)
• Second Harvest (Instant - 2x tokens)
• Parallel Evolution (Sorcery - 2x tokens)

Ways to copy Creatures, or Token Multiplying affects, for more Sculpture pumping (Like Ojer Taq, Mondrak, etc.):
• Bramble Sovereign (Creature - pay 2 mana to make a copy token)
• Cackling Counterpart (Instant)
• Rite of Replication (Sorcery)
• Mirrorweave (Instant)
• Spark Double (Creature)

Ways to blink/flicker, the Doomed Artisan:
• Roon of the Hidden Realm (Creature - pay 2 mana and flicker)
• Brago, King Eternal (Creature - has to attack to flicker)
• Venser, the Sojourner (Planeswalker - charge up 2 to flicker)
• The Eternal Wanderer (Planeswalker - charge up 1 to flicker)
• Flickerwisp (Creature - ETB flicker)
• Charming Prince (Creature - ETB flicker)

Protection:
• Final Showdown (Instant - pay 3 mana for indestructible)
• Teferi’s Protection (Instant - pay 3 phase out and not lose)
• Guardian of Faith (Creature - ETB phase out)
• Selfless Spirit (Creature - sac for indestructible)

Possible “Statues” to include (although, I want to stick to the “Sculptures” theme):
Levitating Statue
Ancestral Statue

Instants:
Ephemerate
Eerie interlude
Momentary Blink
Rootborn Defenses
Cloudshift
Clever Concealment
Ghostway

Sorcery:
Wake the Reflections (populate)

Enchantments:
Anointed Procession
Astral Slide
Teleportation Circle
Song of the Worldsoul (whenever you cast a spell, populate)
Growing Ranks
Cathar's Crusade (to double counters)

Artifacts:
Sculpting Steel
Prototype Portal
Roaming Throne (double abilities - like that of Doomed Artisan)
Conjurer’s Closet

It’s very much just an idea at this point- need help with building the “99”. It would be a very niche, very casual deck - probably bracket two. But I like the concept of killing opponents by inanimate objects.
What would you include? Exclude?
Any better or more efficient ways/combos you’d suggest for this deck?
How would you build this or “fix” it?
Just curious, just for fun 🙂

I Have a Question / I need Help Need help for a present for my partner

5 Upvotes

Hi reddit! First time poster so let me know if I'm doing anything wrong.

As the title suggests, I need help figuring out what cards to get for my partner. I got him super into magic without realizing how dedicated he'd be, which has been very cute!

Our anniversary is coming up and I wanted to get him a card for me to customize for him. He has these two really cute kitties and I wanted to get either two cat partner commanders, or a single cat commander to paint them on it.

I would like the deck to be a silly cat tribal deck, but if not two cat partner commanders, a decent deck with a cat commander will work fine too! I'm not super good at magic so I'm not sure what cards would be best, all help is very appreciated!

Thank you!

I was messing with a deck I found online and stumbled across this set up. Once I trigger Luminarch Ascension for the angel would Parallel Lives and Anointed Procession bounce off eachother creating infinite angels or would it just be three total once they all resolve? (Commander if that makes any difference)

I'm moving and I wanna bring around 90 packs (30 OG wrapped and 60 in smaller envelopes) that are a gift for bf, and some single cards bc they're my own collection.

Now I'm stressed out to no end because I saw comments say it looks shady on the scanner. I'm not good with unpredictable situations and I'm terrified of them making a big deal out of it at the airport.

I barely know anything about mtg. I know it's a fantasy card game based on luck and skill, and I've played once with my fiance but I was so confused. Can someone explain the game? He was throwing around facts like "I have a flying type and he can't dodge" and stuff like that. I'm just so lost but I want to learn it for him.

I've looked a little but all I've found are apps for real packs or websites that don't really do what I'm looking for.

I've been playing TCG Card Shop Sim lately and just love cracking packs on it. I'm looking for an Android app that will basically just let me do that.

Does anyone know of anything out there? I'd obviously prefer a MtG-like fantasy theme but I suppose Pokemon-like would be fine enough. Just no anime please for the love of....

So I played a game of commander with a friend and I was using the Family Matters Bloomburrow Pre-Con deck.

At one point I equipped this artifact with my commander but my opponent took control of my commander. What happens to the equipment? We decided it was unequipped since I still owned and controlled the artifact. Or would it have stayed equipped and triggered at the beginning of combat and gave them a copy of my commander?

Discussion I think one of the Zeta set designs was very much "inspired" by one of mine from earlier this year...

Post image

I made a series of proxy bundles based on classic painters earlier this year, one of which was an Artemisia Gentileschi's bundle that included a "Judith Beheading Holofernes" for a 'Go For The Throat' proxy. And saw this morning that the Zeta set used the same Gentileschi painting for the same card lol.

And to be clear, I just think it's funny - we both used public domain art. Although mine was done as an homage which overtly credits Gentileschi.

I already thought this set was pretty lazy, this was just the cherry on top.
