Magic the Gathering

You can change the artist name but that would amount into copyright infringement. Just leave it and give the artist the credit for their art.

By the way, I also made an Evolving Wilds card because I find its original art ugly.


EDIT:
Infringement doesn't have to be a perfect replica. You just changed/altered the art a bit so it's still theirs.

That looks like the FNM Promo art for it. Also looks like the Gatecrash set symbol on it o__o.

Really?! Yes, the symbol is gatecrash because it looks cool, but is the art like the FNM Promo? Darn it....

EDIT:
By the goddess, yup it is just like that...
I didn't know that... Now I gotta scrap this one and get myself 4 of that Evolving Wilds...

Yup, it is indeed the promo art. I don't play the Wilds in any of my deck (besides one, that proxies for Zendikar fetchlands).

I'm likin the new Gitaxian Probe, and I really wanted the Pillar of Flame promo.

I don't like the Pillar of Flame promo but the Gitaxian Probe looks 100% awesome.

(Resetting the chain so we dont have ridiculously long quotes)

If nothing else, I wanted to have different versions of Pillar of Flame in my Standard deck to throw them off.
And I know I want a set of those Gitaxian Probes so I can throw em into my Storm deck.

Which one is easier to win? Modern or Standard?

I'd say Modern. More decks available to use. The more popular decks get pretty expensive, though. The top deck is Jund, a Green-Red-Black midrange deck. Staples of the deck are Liliana of the Veil, Bloodbraid Elf, Dark Confidant, and Tarmogoyf as four-ofs, and these are pretty damn expensive cards.

Though combo decks get crazy. The latest Pro Tour, the Second Breakfast deck won it all. It's basically an artifact deck that just sacrifice artifacts and draw cards until they draw their win-con, and can go through their entire deck in one turn.

Storm is all about casting lots of spells in one turn, which is fun. I frickin love the Storm deck I found and built.

Then there's control decks and aggro decks of all kinds, and even combinations of the three, combo-aggro, aggro-control, control-combo.
My next project I think will be Scapeshift-Valakut. Me and my friend have been wanting to build that ever since he introduced it to me when I first started playing Magic.

It's just... what worries me is when I'm playing, someone will just play a card I don't even know exist... That could be a major problem.

What exactly is the scope of modern?

That's exactly why I like Modern actually. It doesn't get absurdly powerful sometimes like Legacy (not that I know much about it, maybe gurall can enlighten me since he plays that format), but there's still SO much diversity in the decks you can build.

Modern-legal cards are EVERY card printed from 8th edition until now, save for some cards that have been banned, which is why I mentioned Valakut. That recently got unbanned.

Basically, if the latest printing of the card has the modern card frame, and wasn't part of a special set (like a Duel Deck, for example), then it's legal in Modern.

At least you didn't say "man all those turn 1 wins"

I would have to punch you then ;)

Legacy is a powerful format, it also has the deepest cardpool (outside of vintage, but no one plays that... interestingly, the power 9 will be avaliable for collecting on MODO within a year, meaning we get to play vintage without paying 10 grand, YAY), it's going to be more powerful than modern because of that.

I would argue Legacy is more diverse than modern but that argument is entirely pointless.

Typically the more powerful the format, the more skill testing it is.

Hmm... I want to run with my Infect deck in modern but I really hate not having Invigorate...
My Reanimate is definitely Legacy... So no to that...

If I go Standard, My White-Blue will have a really hard time against humans...
My Red-Blue is great as long as no one uses Thalia, the B***h of Tharaben...

EDIT:
Actually, I'm good with my Reanimate deck, (only lost once) but I highly doubt the shop that I go to would run a Legacy tournament...

Aren't turn-one wins kinda not possible in Legacy?

Why would it be pointless to say it's more diverse? There is a much larger cardpool.



Infect made a pretty big splash in Modern, a bunch of Infect decks had high standings during the last Pro Tour. I'm building a Modern Infect deck right now, it's on hold though since the shop I go to is out of Might of Old Krosa, and I need to make room for Thoughtseize in the mainboard. It's basically the Infect deck I posted after yours, but with Rancor instead of Invigorate, and I cut the Apostle's Blessing down to 2 and added 2 Giant Growth.

Just so you know, though, the most successful ones were multicolor. Reasoning was because, with the mana fixing available in Modern, you weren't forced into monogreen like you were back when this was in Standard, due to the lack of it. And these decks are greatly improved because they now can greatly ignore interaction with your opponent.

They are but Force of Will is a thing in the format, most people I've met that don't know legacy assume it's all T1 wins and etc.

We're comparing diversity between legacy (a format that is pretty stable and defined) to modern, which is brand new and still being refined, sure we can argue over which is more diverse, but that will ultimately be pointless in the face of that knowledge.

Ahh, Force of Will. I wonder if there's a version without all that text... I think I saw a promo one with the new Oracle wording on it.

Ah, okay, I think I see what you mean.

One of my EDH Generals


Cuz I couldn't get a Guilded Drake


And the last one

This looks very good. Really really nice

Awesome... but I forgot what Karador does. This is why if someone uses Iproxies, I kinda ask they put the Oracle text on it, or at least, keep their phone or whatever on gatherer so I can make sure about cards I'm unsure of.

I always keep the text, except on land cards. For me, they look much nicer with their text.

Wow, Izzet Staticaster has a big potential of ruining the day of a Human or populate deck hahaha

Well, there are plenty of ways to grow your tokens, and besides, I think in a Populate deck, I'd think you want quality tokens rather than a quantity of tokens, since 8/8 vigilant tokens exist. Wouldn't you rather have 2, or even more? Or maybe populate some 5/5 tramplers or even some nice 3/3 vanilla Centaurs.

Still like Staticaster, though. Throw a Basilisk Collar on him and mop up the entire board. Not being able to hit the opponent, though, makes it worse than other "Tims" (creatures that tap to do damage, aka pingers) sometimes.
