Magic the Gathering card: Inquisitor Greyfax

Pretty close...

My wife once wrote a letter to our son's school that was so angry that the principle immediately resigned. Don't cross that woman.

I have four Sol Rings flavor texts to
my credit. The choosing challenge is real.

I watched the 1974 film Lancelot du Lac recently. Very gritty and bleak and beautiful and baffling. I feel confident in recommending it.

As the Vision Design lead on Secrets of Strixhaven, my job was to figure out what the set should showcase. We build out a whole card set to do this. All cards change over development, with just those “showcase” points shining thru. Here’s a few examples: (1/7)

A Warhammer miniature of an ogre with a mutant crab claw and a tusked gas mask. A huge, eight pointed metal star of chaos sprouts improbably from his torso.

Three Warhammer miniatures. Chaos Space marines, bedecked with horns and skulls, wearing black armor with gold trim.

Only THREE bullet points:
• High Fantasy
• Rich History
• Vibrant Renewal

BAM!

(But also we had to write a world guide as thick as my thigh.) #WotCstaff

I think I detected a hint of Dark Star in there too, but yeah.

You are on a well-deserved meteoric trajectory. *High five!*

I'm sorry, Chris.

Nipped fucking tail

I run a Hashaton deck that looks a lot like this one. Winning with jank is my favorite way to play Commander!

Two Warhammer 40,000 Tech-priest Enginseer miniatures. They wear red hooded robes and hold huge power axes.

Lexmechanic miniatures. These fellows have been bionically enhanced with robotic writing hands. They are carrying comically large numbers of scrolls.

Sicarian Infiltrator miniature. This fellow's arms and legs have been replaced with bionics, and he's stalking forward with a sword and a gun.

Fresh off the painting table, various Adeptus Mechanicus miniatures for #Warhammer40K. Enginseers, lexmechanics, and a Sicarian Infiltrator.

How often do you think about the Sarpadian Empires? #WotCstaff

Technically? Yes.

Actually? Who’s going to count the cards in your deck?

Those oversized Ultra Pro sleeves kept appearing on the free table at work for years. I have like a case of them.

Screencap from Evangelion: the words “Absolute Terror Field.”

Me, watching Neon Genesis Evangelion with my adult children: “Which one of you is going to make me proud by inventing the Absolute Terror Field?”

I’d like to make a few more Legends Retold-style cards someday. Finding the right product is the tricky part. Ur-Drago’s name doesn’t seem like a major impediment to me; he’s canonically named after the Ur-Dragon!

Okay so I watched the original Mobile Suit Gundam and War in the Pocket. Is there anything else I need to see to understand what this whole Gundam thing is about?

It’s from TopDeck #7!

Yeah, I'll look through my collection of TopDeck magazines for that map. I'm sure it's in one of them.

A painted Warhammer miniature of a psyker, he head swollen with power and with glowing blue eyes, holding a staff with an elaborate chaos star atop it. Chains connect his legs to weights, which barely prevent him from floating off into the sky.

This is another data point. I'm starting to suspect that I don't know enough about football to be a functioning adult in America.

That means an alternative choice. You're switching to Plan B. I wouldn't expect someone who isn't involved in Magic's tournament culture to know that though; I believe it's slang that originated on the Pro Tour or something.

My sound design professor knew the voice actor who played General Grievous. That means you're only four degrees of separation from General Grievous himself!
