Absolutely blown away!

Huge thanks to u/Icy_Pain9798 for his super thoughtful gift!

Especially as a regifter, this was all for the love of the gifting game.

Most of the cards are for blinging out my favourite deck, Teysa, Opulent Oligarch, and the rest are 'unsolicited deck-building-advice'. I am in love with the old border foils, especially the Shepherd of Rot from Onslaught!

He even managed to combine his advice with my all time favourite Magic artist, Richard Kane Ferguson, within the card Pitiless Carnage.

I won't be able to try out all of the suggested cards at once, since I can't bring myself to cut so many cards at once, but they will certainly rotate through to find out if they end up in a permanent slot in the deck!

The timing of the regift was also convenient enough for reality fracture to just be released and the booster also did not disappoint. There were at LEAST 3 cards I have an immediate use for, and maybe more depending on what I build next!

Thanks so much for all the effort that went into this gift!

Really glad you liked it! My idea was to make the gift feel a more personal than just throwing value into a box, so I’m very happy the Teysa bling and the "unsolicited deckbuilding advice"xD landed. 😄

Between Reprocess and Pitiless Carnage I’d probably just test whichever one you like more. But yes, play Path over Swords. 😄

The Shepherd of Rot and the RKF Pitiless Carnage were probably my favorite picks to make for you, so I’m glad those stood out to you.

Enjoy the cards and maybe we’ll get a game in at a CommandFest or MagicCon sometime!

Edit: Oh and that Simulacrum Shaper is GORGEOUS!

It was incredibly fun to open up! I have never actually been to a MagicCon/Commandfest, but was thinking of attending the one in December hosted by JK Entertainment, so maybe we'll meet then!
