https://archidekt.com/decks/3269628#pa_pa_pa_pa_pa_Painbow I've finally cobbled something resembling a workable, for me, Painbow modified precon. I'm on my last 10 cards of what I should cut. I would have tried to have Jegantha be my companion to make it essentially 101 cards, but Grim Tutor is too good to pass up in a pinch, Progenitus while nice as a big beefy thing that has protection from everything I could probably take or leave it. I pretty much cut out all basic normal lands and went for keeping the slow fetches and the conditional dual lands that came in with the deck as well as putting in the DU tapped duals that I hope to negate being tapped by having Tiller Engine our Amulet of Vigor out to keep me caught up, either that or Chromatic Lantern out. I cut out all the tapped triome lands the deck had in favor of the Lairs that are essentially bounce lands but come into play untapped. Never realized how cheap the Lairs are, they're pretty useful. I'm open to suggestions on what I should cut out from the deck to get it to 100.

Not sure if it's on purpose or not, but one of the multicolor cards in mine had the washed-out yellow frame, and the rest had the more saturated gold. Was like flipping through actual old cards. The retro frame Command Tower might be my favorite card, as silly as that sounds.

I'm in a EDH precon upgrade league ($20 upgrade each session), and my Kadena, Slinking Sorceror (faceless menace) deck is lagging a step behind some of the others. I've basically spent the first week getting.better ramp/lands, improving manabase, and adding some value stuff like Wilderness Reclamation, Brine Elemental, Leyline of Anticipation, Vivien, Flash Teferi (& mystical Teachings!). The deck is actually running pretty well and has a lot of interaction, but some players have been upgrading Aesi (Reap the Tides), Prossh (Power Hungry), Miirym (they added green to Draconic Dissent) - and these decks are just so threatening - the best morphs aren't that great. I'm thinking about trying Beastmaster Ascension and Words of Wind, but beyond that not sure if I can push the power much more. Worst case isn't so bad, since I can always focus on getting the deck running as smoothly as possible, maybe sneak a win somewhere, and still have a nice fun lower-power deck; but before I resort to that, any thoughts on how to actually push the power?

Kurieg posted:My friend have you heard of Hydras. I'll probably make sure it runs smoothly, have ways to reuse my morphs, and play loads of extra lands so I can capitalize on any slower game if my commander lasts - and see if that helps. Regardless it's a lot of fun, would recommend a league like this to anybody.

Anyone used MPCFill enough to have any thoughts on DPI? Some appear to have much higher DPIs than others, like 1200DPI to 480DPI. The higher ones seem to be all sorts of fancy printings that I don't care about. Some rando on StackOverflow says 300 is standard, so maybe it doesn't matter.

I usually do the 1200DPI ones but I wanted to use the Unfinity art for lands and I believe those were lower DPI. I'll take some photos once my order comes in.

From reddit - one of the Google drive guys reached out to mpc and they said their digital press resolution goes up to 800. 600 is probably not too bad and anything over is probably overkill unless they have upgraded in the last 4 years or so.

I think the lowest I used was 840DPI, so that's nice. Sometimes I go looking for old frame art and they're always like 480DPI so I end up changing my mind. E: Man, From the Vault: Relics was $35 for 15 premium foil cards (four from the Reserve List!), a few of them actually good/playable, and now we get $50 foil Secret Lairs with 3-5 cards. This is some horseshit. Batterypowered7 fucked around with this message at 15:40 on Nov 18, 2022 |

I always tried to do 1200dpi. There were a few that I settled for 480dpi and the difference is very obvious though the 480dpi cards were still playable.
