Opening sketch commissions

I'm in a bit of a hard place financially at the moment, so I need to open sketch commissions.

The usual rundown: I'm okay with drawing both human and non-human characters. I'm okay with NSFW art, but not ALL NSFW art. Whether or not I'm comfortable or feel capable with drawing a particular fetish can be discussed.

I'm okay with fanart and OCs, but if it's an OC, I will need you to provide references. My sketch commissions are typically full-body. I accept payment through PayPal

I'm opening five commission slots- which I know isn't a lot, but I also am trying to focus on my mental health as well. Once I finish these, and find I'm well enough to take on more work, I'll open more.

Single character: $25 USD

Couple: $35 USD

Hey, folks. I don't currently have PC/Tumblr access at this point, so entries will be up either by another mod later today or early Saturday. In the meantime, if you'd like to be a 2024 Judge, there's an interest application above! Filling that out gives us a good guesstimate as to who's able, willing, around & about.

top 5 funniest mtg combos. not best, just funniest

I'm gonna limit this to ones that use tournament legal cards, and not ones that use the much sillier silver border cards that dip into weird territory that can get you results like "tear your hand in half" or "destroy every magic card" or "force your opponents to do the hokey pokey ad infinium"

5. The combo that puts your entire deck into the command zone (normally, no cards go to the command zone except the one or two things that started in there if you're playing the right format)

4. Okay you know how I said we wouldn't be using silver border cards? Well check this out. This combo makes a silver-border card relevant using entirely tournament legal cards. This combo would be higher, except the rules have now changed so this doesn't work. If you make a token without specifying the name, it's now [subtype] token instead of just [subtype].

3. The combo that makes mtg a turing complete game (special bonus points to this one for being an actual paper)

2. The combo that builds on mtg being turing complete with this nonsense

1. The combo that turns mtg into Uno

...I asked this in 2015 and welp

Re: a supplementary Commander product - One of the reasons that people feel that they can't get into Commander as much is because of the price tag, even for the starters, and especially if one of the cards becomes the next Flusterstorm or True-Name Nemesis. What if there were Commander products in boosters to increase availability like Modern Masters?

A fine question. Would you prefer the Commander products as is or in booster form?

New spread- I swear, these things are 90% of the time just stream of consciousness. Like I go into a new spread with no fucking plan whatsoever. But, no matter how random shit gets, Kaito and The Wanderer are going to keep showing up, baybee!

I just wanted to acknowledge the passing of a former Magic designer. Teeuwynn Woodruff was on the design teams for Weatherlight, 7th Edition, & Apocalypse, and on the development teams for Nemesis, Prophecy, Planeshift, & 7th Edition. She was a passionate proponent of representation of women and minorities and helped push Magic to be more thoughtful in how we made cards. Tee sadly died of cardiac arrest this week, and will be missed.

This question has killed me in multiple lifetimes. I cast Control Magic targetting my opponent's Light-Paws, Emperor's Voice. Do I tutor an aura from my deck onto Light-Paws?

This gets a bit fiddly, so bear with me here.

When Control Magic goes to resolve, the game changes immediately from Control Magic being on the stack and Light-Paws being under your opponent's control to Control Magic being on the battlefield and Light-Paws being under your control. There's no moment where Control Magic is in the battlefield and you don't control Light-Paws.

This means that Light-Paws was under your control at the moment that Control Magic entered the battlefield and so her ability will trigger because of it.
