it's such an easy error to catch that Word does it automatically and nobody ever clicked the squiggly line to find it.

Anyway not trying to be combative. If it’s a big deal itt then ok.

Important decision to make What sleeve colors to use for the WH40k precons. Blue on the Imperium one? (because Ultramarines) Lime Green or similar sickly green on Necrons? (because of the plasma fumes) Red on Chaos ? (Because of blood/evil theme) Black? Pink on Tyranid? (One of the Leviathan colors)

Captain Invictus posted:were there lots of mtg artist kickstarters before the foglio ones, or did that kinda kick things off? I got back into magic after their first kickstarter sadly, wish I could've picked some of those up. I feel like I've heard of 2 or 3 upcoming kickstarters since the second foglio ks ended. Nils Hamm is getting in the ring, if you want a Delver of Secrets or Paradise Druid playmat/print/etc It's not a popular card by any means, but if I can get a playmat of Nils Hamm's art for Lucid Dreams, I'd buy it pretty drat fast.

I used purple for tyranids, otherwise yeah blue/lime/red. Gold would have been preferable to me for Imperium (more color wheel differentiation, blue is too close to purple) but my LGS didn't have any in stock

In theory an artist could sell rights such that reusing the same art in a different context doesn’t incur any additional fees, but I don’t think anyone in this thread knows the details of these specific art contracts. Seems like a weird thing to bicker about since it’s all conjecture anyway. If anyone here does legal work for wotc and feels like spilling a bunch of inside information though don’t let me hold you back.

The contracts artists sign for card art are pretty well known. They get a low lump sum payment (~$800), get sent some artist proofs, and they can reuse the image in their own playmats and some prints and stuff. The big money these days is in selling off the original which can net up to 5 digits if you're a big enough name or the card is OP.

I stand corrected. I had no idea that stuff was public.

Well no one has posted a screenshot of a contract but the artists are pretty open about it. It's like the one situation I can sort of point to and say it's a springboard for them often and they're being paid mostly in 'exposure'.

Years ago at an L5R kotei, I met Drew Baker and we were talking about this fantastic piece he did of a mind flayer. He was saying the exposure he got from it was so huge and seemed really positive about the experience, going from illustrating for smaller AEG games to that. http://www.drewbaker.com/portfolio9.asp

Does anyone know an online store where you can get specific Jumpstart packs, possibly still sealed in the inner plastic? I'm putting together a Jumpstart cube and it's about 80% done. Got some pretty good luck with random JS / JS22 packs, but I'm short on green and black. The plan is to grab the set specific JS packs as they come out to eventually fill it in completely, but I do really wan the original JS Walls and JS22 Gross packs in my cube.

They can't be that hard to just make wholesale out of singles, most of the decks are made out of bulk. If the pack is somehow searched and confirmed it's gonna be around that price anwyay.

Watched a breakdown of everything that comes in the Compleat Edition bundle and it'd be an easy pick up if it didn't cost $80. Phryexian language Phyrexian Arena 20 foil phyrexian language lands 10 oil slick phyrexian lands (separate art, looked like a Geiger take on the Theros lands) 2 random mythics from the set in oil slick foiling. Still might end up grabbing one at my LGS since there's a promo with a Phyrexian Life counter like the one from Commanders Arsenal if you buy from a WPN store.

I know there were a couple of places a year or so ago that sold specific JS packs at varying prices. You just select the pack you want and it tells you what they’re charging.

Maigius posted:I may not be hip to all the neat combos, but seriously, why would you ever want to play that card? As far a I can tell, if you tap it, it deals you 2 damage, and switches blockers. Homelands gets a justified rep as the worst set in terms of power level, but The Dark is definitely a contender for weak and bad cards

I feel like if I was going to spend 80 bucks I would use that 80 bucks to buy individually what I wanted out of that.

The Dark was a very flavorful set, that also wasn't printed to hell and back, so the cool cards stayed cool for a very long time. Yeah it had a lot of terrible cards, but its highs were bangers like Maze of Ith, Blood Moon, or legit cool creatures like Preacher and Ball Lightning. Homelands doesn't even have a cool stupidly overcosted fatty like Leviathan.
