I'm really mindful of, like, What The Actual Ordeal of Ownership would be like. Like, Cubchoo is adorable, and meanwhile Beartic is eight and a half feet tall. Even looking at these six-to-eleven individuals is.... Well, Pokémon breeders have my respect for wrangling so many at once, I'll say that.
Six Pokémon. From left to right, they are Falinks, Applin, Marill, Helioptile, Trapinch, and Cyndaquil.

I was thinking about this interaction literally an hour ago: do you think it’s still worthwhile to sleeve up Master Chef in this case, to double up on all those automatic bonus counters for your nonland creatures? The fact that the lands won’t be affected is unfortunate, but maybe it’s still worth.
The Magic: the Gathering card Master Chef. A chef whose face is obscured by the steam coming off of the pot before them is fiercely preparing a fine meal. It’s clear that whoever this person is, they’re extremely comfortable in the kitchen.

Real talk, I think this card kicks ass every day of the week
The Magic: the Gathering Universes Beyond card Tzaangor Shaman. A wretched, shirtless alien creature wearing a horned helmet and wielding a magic staff and a dagger flies over a battlefield. The creature is riding a circular platform with numerous spikes affixed to the edges. It appears to be snarling or howling as it casts a spell focused through the staff.

Right now, my favorite funky guy is this normal dog!
The Magic: the Gathering card Codecracker Hound. A white dog with about a dozen limbs, including two stubby forearms, looks up at the camera. It has dismantled part of a robot and looks very pleased with itself.

I like Storm King's Thunder as a way to close out Magic games. Even, like, X=2 can be pretty explosive, and Thunder doesn't care about how you're casting the spell or from which zone.
A Magic: the Gathering card called "Storm King's Thunder." A giant with metal armor and long, flowing white hair commands an equally formidable storm. It seems almost effortless for him to direct the lightning and the tempest.

Oh, way better example: in my budget Saruman deck, Rikku automatically makes my army unblockable. Honestly that deck slaps for being only ~$25.
The Magic: the Gathering Universes Beyond cards Saruman, the White Hand and Rikku, Resourceful Guardian. Saruman is wearing all white and wields a malevolent-looking staff. Rikku is grinning as she holds aloft one of a series of potions she just pickpocketed off of a nearby guard.

I’m fond of these two admittedly somewhat niche cantrip-counterspells for cube (two and one printings, respectively).
The Magic: the Gathering card Disrupt. A stoic mage repels an oncoming beam of light.The Magic: the Gathering card Confound. A hulking monster is furious to discover it’s been trapped in a magical cage.

What a silly wincon this is. X=2 is already pretty good imo, and it just gets better from there.

Three generic mana for a fight? I’ve heard worse ideas. Sometimes you do just need to stomp a dork.
The Magic: the Gathering card Triangle of War. A strange-looking triangular artifact made of gold. Someone has taken the time to carve a snarling, ominous face into the center of the triangle. It is totally unknown what the scale of this object might be.

This idea came to me just this morning!
Two Magic: the Gathering cards called Envoy of the Ancestors and Exocrine. The Envoy is cleric clad in white armor with swaths of light emanating from her palms. She is surrounded by the spirits of her family’s countless ancestors. The Exocrine is a big insectoid alien with a thick, intimidating cannon growing out of its back. This cannon is biological in origin, not mechanical.

When it comes to “move fast and break things,” the devil’s in the details.
The Magic: the Gathering card Devilish Valet. A red-skinned humanoid with horns and a pointed tail leers at someone just offscreen, who is handing the devil a hammer. The devil claims it’s protocol, but he’s really about to steal the hammer for himself.

I feel like there’s something here! Leverage green ramp and the odd black ritual to make an extremely large oozeboi. Gaea’s Gift, Maximum Overdrive, Eternal Thirst. Is Cranial Plating banned, I wonder?
The Magic: the Gathering card Expanding Ooze. A slimy green organism is flowing through a cobblestone street, seemingly absorbing a dead man’s body. The flavor text, attributed to Prince Bolbuss, reads “It eats the royal garbage. Of course it’s growing!”

now this, this is beautiful
Emotional_Stranger_5 (the OP): It's about 700 images. I already have around 10 pages so I don't [think] it is lying. I am going page wise.

Professional_Job_307: You generated 700 images with chatgpt? How is it stitching them all together into a book?

Emotional_Stranger_5: After understanding a lot of things it’s clear that it didn’t. And it fooled me for two weeks. I have learned my lesson and now I am using it to generate one page at a time.

I always thought Into the Story was positively breathtaking.
The Magic: The Gathering card Into the Story. A person wearing a blue and white dress is stepping physically into the pages of an extremely large book propped up against a crowded bookshelf. The flavor text reads “The boundary between real and imaginary is as thin as the page, and just as easily torn.”

Brilliant stuff, enjoyed the hell out of this video. Thank you SO much. If you don't mind me asking: is this Archfiend of Depravity something that's plot relevant, or is this just "a moderately scary generic random encounter monster"?
The Magic: The Gathering card Archfiend of Depravity, from the Final Fantasy Commander set. A skeletal demon looms menacingly over an airship, while blue energy swirls throughout the clouds. The flavor text reads "Ancient monsters that had long been sealed away were released when the world was ripped apart."

My contribution to #MakeATerribleComicDay2025 That was fun!
A one-panel comic where a tree person, having finished streaming video games online, caps off the stream by saying “Remember to lichen shrubscribe!”

Okay, I have to ask: Is that Professor Layton's hat?! I haven't seen anyone else bring this up.

Goreclaw and Kotis.... Whenever a creature you control with power 4 or greater hits op, you steal their topmost card? That's pretty sick. (Bonus points for being on the same plane.)
The Magic: the Gathering card Goreclaw, Terror of Qal Sisma. An immense and intimidating black bear with scars on her face slashes at a human figure; she pushes them around like a particularly aggressive child with a plush toy.The Magic: the Gathering card Kotis, the Fangkeeper. A man with ornate teal and gold clothing poses menacingly in the middle of a thick grove. His left hand is bone, not flesh.
