I don't know if these arcana art quizzes are harder or easier than magiccards.info Art Game. You get to see less of the image, but you know it's the newest set.
For linking a card to Gatherer without writting the name of said card for readers, use the autocard brackets together with and equal sign and right the name of the real card. Then put the message you want inside the tags, like you would do with autocarding. Like this:
I like storm crow because I really like crows in real life, as an animal, and the card isn't terribly stupid, but packs a good deal of nostalgia and also a chunck of the game's history. So it's perhaps one of the cards I have most affection to, but not because "lol storm crow is bad hurr hurr durr".
Although I do assume you deliberately refer to them (DCI) as The Grand Imperial Convocation of Evil just for the purposes of making them sound like an ancient and terrible conspiracy.
Now, now. 1994 doesn't quite qualify as "ancient".
Oh, it's a brilliant plan. You see, Bolas was travelling through shadowmoor, causing trouble, when he saw a Wickerbough Elder with its stylin' dead scarecrow hat. Now, Bolas being Bolas took the awesome hat and he put it on his head, but even with all his titanic powers of magic he couldn't make it fit. He grabbed some more scarecrows, but then a little kithkin girl asked if he was trying to build a toupee. "BY ALL THE POWERS IN THE MULTIVERSE!" he roared, "I WILL HAVE A HAT WORTHY OF MY GLORY." and so he went through his Dark Lore of Doom (tm) looking for something he could make into a hat that would look as stylish on him as a scarecrow does on a treefolk. He thought about the Phyrexians, but they were covered in goopy oil that would make his nonexistant hair greasy. He Tried out angels for a while but they didn't sit quite right. Then, he looked under "e" (because in the Elder Draconic alphabet, "e" for Eldrazi is right next to "h" for Hat) in his Dark Lore of Doom and saw depictions of the Eldrazi, and all their forms. "THIS SHALL BE MY HAT!" he declared, poking a picture of Emrakul, "AND WITH IT I WILL USHER IN A NEW AGE OF DARKNESS -- ER, I MEAN A NEW AGE OF FASHION!"
And so Nicol Bolas masterminded the release of the Eldrazi.
The last couple days have been roughly every perverse fetish imaginable, but it only got "creepy" when speculation on Mother of Runes's mob affiliation came up?
I like to think up what I consider clever names for my decks, only later to be laughed at by my wife. It kills me a little on the inside, but thats what marriage is about.
Of course, the best use [of tolaria west ] is transmuting for the real Tolaria.
Absolutely. I used to loose to my buddy's Banding deck for ages, it was then that I found out about Tolaria , and I was finally able win my first game.
Browbeat is a card that is an appropriate deck choice when there's no better idea available. "No better idea available" was pretty much the running theme of Odyssey era.
Modern is like playing a new tournament every time : you build a deck, you win with it, don't bother keeping it. Just build another, its key pieces will get banned.
I always find it helpful when im angry to dress up in an owl costume and rub pennies all over my body in front of a full body mirror next to the window.

Playing Magic without Blue is like sleeping without any sheets or blankets. You can do it...but why?
Omega137:
Me: "I love the moment when a control deck stabilizes. It feels so... right." Omega137: "I like the life drop part until you get there, it's the MtG variant of bungee jumping"

Just do it like Yu-Gi-Oh or monkeys: throw all the crap you got at them and hope it works or else the by-standers (or opponents) just get dirty and pissed.
Normally it's difficult to pick up on your jokes/sarcasm. But this one's pretty much out there. Good progress. You have moved up to Humanoid. You'll be Human in no time.
I think the art on this card is good up until you get to the face where it just isn't. Anyway I like the card enough for it's abilities that I just don't care much about the art and would be happy to play it in many of my casual decks.
I don't think she looks fat so much as that her trunk and her legs are just highly disproportionate. Someone with a trunk that short just wouldn't have long legs like that. It's... off.
And I wouldn't have a problem with some characters being both kick*** (rather than the butts of visual jokes) and being big. I mean, I do think that in Magic characters would probably be more likely to be lean, since they do a lot of fighting, but I don't see why representing some variation in sizes should be more controversial than representing variation in skin colors and features.
(Aside: I would like to see some dark skinned elves in Magic -- and I don't mean "drow" types either. If humans living in tropical climes in Dominaria are dark-skinned (eg. Teferi, Kaervek, etc.), why aren't any elves? What makes them all white, and does that really make sense or is it, as I suspect, a kinda sketchy stereotype ultimately based on Tolkien, who is far more than kinda sketchy about race himself?)
Yeah, I know that some of the male audience (and, heck, some of the female audience, too, including me) like seeing stereotypically "beautiful" female bodies represented on some of the cards. But surely including female characters that aren't skinny, and showing them as effective and accomplished mages or even fighters on occasion is no big deal even if some people find them unattractive. These cards' art is not, after all, primarily about titillation. Not every woman represented on a card needs to be alluring. People who want that will gravitate toward art that depicts them that way; people who don't care won't care.
But back to my point. When I did martial arts, I knew a couple of black belts who were heavy -- and who I would not want to have been fighting against. Yeah, exercise makes most people lean.
