iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

This girl has gained me so much life in my current monoW deck. Especially with a recursion engine going. And Rammas Echor also does a lot, though double spelling conflicts a bit with Eigh's gameplan.

Martyr of Sands
{W} 1/1
Creature — Human Cleric

{1}, Reveal X white cards from your hand, Sacrifice this creature: You gain three times X life.

“Only in our vulnerability is there true power, and that power is life itself.”

Rammas Echor, Ancient Shield
{3}{W}
Legendary Artifact

Whenever you cast your second spell each turn, draw a card, then create a 0/3 white Wall creature token with defender.

At the beginning of combat on your turn, creatures you control with defender gain exalted until end of turn. (Whenever a creature you control attacks alone, it gets +1/+1 until end of turn for each instance of exalted among permanents you control.)

He has responded to and confirmed the allegations with a brief summary of what happened.

Many of you have seen the results of my college Title IX investigation. I can confirm that the findings are true. The records were recently shared without the permission of the victim and, without knowledge of their wishes, I do not want to provide any more potentially identifying details. She and I spoke about it the day after and agreed — I had assaulted her. She later reported this to the university’s Title IX office, I cooperated with the investigation, and I was given the (very mild, I concur) sentence of a semester suspension.

Suffice to say, it is the greatest regret of my life. I traumatized a brilliant person who trusted me, hurt them in a way I can never undo.

For more than a decade now, I have attempted to reckon, grow, and recover from the version of myself who did this. I think about it every day. I’ve previously shared this history with many of the people close to me, including early in my relationship with my now-wife, and I’m deeply sorry that this has now hurt so many of you. My continued drive to make myself and the world better is closely tied with the pain I’ve caused. )

Yeah I think of like Iymrith. Nobody in the commander pod knows I wish my commander was real and could fuck me.

Art depicts a a roaring amblue dragon roaring as lightning strikes the desert behind her. She has powerful arms and legs and large impressive wings. Her wings and belly contrast with a light creme yellow to her sapphire scales.

Iymrith has ward 4 as long as it’s untapped.

Whenever Iymrith deals combat damage to a player, draw a card. Then if you have fewer than three cards in hand, draw cards equal to the difference.

Most cards will only be a couple of cents, even rares and mythics (someone else explained rarity I believe). Old foils (shiny cards) are an exception: an easy way to check if a card is older or not is the border. Check image alt text for details.

This is the oldest card frame. Sometimes referred to as Retro frame. It's a full rectangle and the artist credit (Mark Poole in this case) is centered. These have a good chance to be valuable if they're foil/shiny regardless of rarity.

I call this the "midpoint frame". It's also a full rectangle, but the border art is different to the retro frame and the artist credit is moved to the bottom left. These still have a chance to have a decent value if they're foil even when they're lower rarity.

The modern frame. The lower part of the frame is rounded off. Unless it's a rare/mythic these are unlikely to carry any value, even if they're foil.

Future Sight Frame.
Noticeably different and only printed in one set. Can have some value, especially as foil and/or for in demand cards.

Show me a comic page you love; no explanation needed. Artist: Chris Bachalo

A splash page of the aftermath of Rogue combining Cyclops and Emmas powers to take out a bunch of enemies.

Most of the page is just a stark wide void drawing attention to Rogue wearing a a dark green green costume with a cape and white accents striding forward. Around her are the broken and shattered bodies of her enemies, some still alive and barely conscious. The devestating attack seemingly messed with gravity as the legs of one guy can be seen floating off frame at the top, while a fish from a shattered aquarium seems to floating upwards along some of its water

There's people saying that the story sucked anyway and yeah, it wasn't anything too special. The vibes of MtG though? Immaculate. Sucks too, because the recent in Universe sets have actually been pretty good. Especially in the less traditional fantasy sets. Like this fucking rules.

My favorite Marvel Character got relegated to a draft chaff common that doesn't even reference her. But hey, at least we got 50 Black Widows and She-Hulks and Iron Mans and MORE Spider-Man. Made my own versions...

Hazmat, Jennifer Takeda 1RB
Legendary Creature Human Hero 1/3
Haste, First Strike, Deathtouch
Ward: Hazmat deals damage equal to her power to you and each creature you control.
Whenever Hazmat deals damage to a player chose one that hasn't been chosen this turn.
EMP: Destroy target Artifact it's controller draws a card.
Radiation Blast: Each player gets one Rad Counter for each life they lost this turn.
Wide Spectrum Blast: Each player takes damage equal to Hazmats power for each Rad Counter they have.

Art depicts a japanese teenage girl in a yellow and black hazmat suit stands among slim trees. Green energy radiates from her fist and illuminates the scene. Her feet are drenched in blood.

Hazmat, Weapon of Mass Destruction 1BR
Legendary Creature Human Hero 1/3
Haste, First Strike, Infect
At the beginning of your Upkeep, if Hazmat isn't equipped she deals damage equal to her power to each other creature and each player.

When Hazmat enters gain one poison counter and create a colorless equipment artifact token with equipped creature loses Infect and can't gain Infect. Attach it to Hazmat.

Remove all counters from all players: Hazmat gains that many +1/+1 counters and each player draws a card for each counter they lost this way.

This feels like an actual personal attack on me. Reptil gets his own card and this is what Hazmat gets?

But have you considered that I made a really cool conversion when it had an entry in the 5th edition codex but no model yet?

A model of a warhammer 40k tank of the Imperial guard.
It has a chalk wash snow camouflage and a launch apparatus with 4 red tipped missiles on the back.

The missiles are hellfire missiles from the Imperial Guard Valkyre, the launch apparatus is just an anti tank barrier.

Kaervek is quite nice for some Spellslinging and also cheat timings. Junji is nice flip on normal aristocrats/reanimator. Since you have him as your main sacrifice fodder and try to reanimate/undying him. Valgavoth is a 9 Mana Statement in the Command Zone, play around with MV matters.

Kaervek, the Punisher 1BB

Legendary Creature — Human Warlock

3/3

Whenever you commit a crime, exile up to one target black card from your graveyard and copy it. You may cast the copy. If you do, you lose 2 life. (Targeting opponents, anything they control, and/or cards in their graveyards is a crime. Copies of permanent spells become tokens.)

Junji, the Midnight Sky 3BB

Legendary Creature — Dragon Spirit

Flying, menace 5/5

When Junji dies, choose one —

• Each opponent discards two cards and loses 2 life.

• Put target non-Dragon creature card from a graveyard onto the battlefield under your control. You lose 2 life.

Valgavoth, Terror Eater 6BBB

Legendary Creature — Elder Demon

Flying, lifelink 9/9

Ward—Sacrifice three nonland permanents.

If a card you didn’t control would be put into an opponent’s graveyard from anywhere, exile it instead.

During your turn, you may play cards exiled with Valgavoth. If you cast a spell this way, pay life equal to its mana value rather than pay its mana cost.
