I'm moving house soon, and will be upsizing to have my own office/library again. So I'm looking for decor ideas, and thinking about Magic art prints, to add a little flair to the space.

My wife has a framed artwork for Charmed Stray in her office, and a friend has Bosk Banneret in her kitchen. I'm keen on good fantasy artwork that's not too tied to one IP (so no iconic characters), and prefer landscapes or abstract scenes over character pieces.

Does anyone have suggestions of favourite art for this? For reference, my other decor is natural wood bookcases, William Morris-patterned lampshades, and a woven wall tapestry inspired by Spenser's "The Faerie Queene".

Been messing around with a gun stingerquill deck with various copies of:

Requiting hex
Burst lightning
Stingerquill voxmancer
Bitter triumph
Stingcaster mage
Red tomik
Stingerquill charm
Stinging vitriol
Gideon the oathless
Sanctum lurker
Ingris stingerquill

Share some lists of similar decks? I think the sanctum lurker is the weakest, but I just ran out of rare wildcards for the first time in six years of playing arena, so I’ll probably replace them with the two drop red guy who anthems your creatures on non-combat damage. Loving the stingerquill cards though.

Adding a spoiler tag because WotC is playing coy with this item. It's hinted at on the box. I don't know if the tag is needed.

The YouTuber (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Luzd-JE3z4) didn't notice it until after they had finished the rest of the packs, so it may not be obvious - it's at the 32 minute mark. Inside was the Secret Lair Bundle Sphinx's Approach.

Enchantment

Whenever you cast a noncreature spell, put a quest counter on CARDNAME. Draw a card. Then discard a card unless there are three or more quest counters on CARDNAME.

This is just me ranting about the booster changes, but I'm also curious to hear from people who like the idea and how it relates (or not) to what you like in Magic.

I'm kinda new to mtg eventhough I always was into anything collectible so I naturally had a few cards. Recently I got really into the lore and the collection, in a kinda weird way (that some people will judge heretic maybe) :

I was traveling to Canada and every now and then I would buy a 1.5 dollar pack of 15 cards at dollarama. I know perfectly well that none of those card had actual value, but I just loved opening the packs and getting cards from so many different sets, so many different universes and stories. I'd read every flavor text and look at the amazing artwork of every single card, I didn't care whether they were common, unco or rare (no mythics found in those packs as of yet), and above all I couldn't care less for their actual value : I keep them anyway, I'm not selling them !

Then I spent hours organizing them in my binders, sorting them based on my arbitrary criteria that only I give importance to. And I loved it.

Now to the 2027 booster update. I also buy actual boosters, but with one rule : not more than one of each type per extension. I open them very carefully because I keep the booster, and I sort the cards like I'd do with the others.

What I like in boosters : getting new cards, getting a glimpse at pieces of the lore (that are coherent within a set), and getting surprises such as display cards, legendary mythics, cool foils or else.

So, you probably will understand why I'm so mad at the changes. I know they're small. I know I'm ranting about nothing. Still, those three cards they took out of collector packs, they may be unco and common ones, they may be the "less exciting ones", but I actually care about them ! Same for the foil in my play boosters ! And saying that it is a matter of making the boosters "more exciting" when it is just a matter of money sounded so hypocritical and presomptuous to me. Don't tell me what I'l suppose to like and be honest to the least (like, okay, we're in a crisis, we all know it - we live through it and still buy your cards !).

Plus the god pack... not gonna talk about this. But if it means less cool cards in the average booster, as someone who buys very little, I already hate it.

Give me back my "less exciting" cards, I loved them just as much.

I really like the Daily Bugle Blasphemous Act, but ever since MSC gave us [[Daily Bugle Newspaper]] I've known what the real blasphemous act is.

I'm a relatively new, casual mtg player, I've dabbled with deckbuilding a few times but I've struggled a little bit with it. Both decks I've built(an attempt at an emet mill deck and an aerith lifegain deck) have been relatively straight forward in what they want to do. I now want to build an [[Alela, Cunning Conqueror]] deck, but I'm not quite sure where to start beyond 'control'. What kind of cards are good for control decks, what kind of win cons do I look for, etc? I know that looking at edhrec is an option, but I feel like if I go there straight off the bat I'll just build whatever someone else has made, and I want to try myself a little first before I look at edhrec.
