Totally depends on what I can dig outta storage. I lost a lot of stuff in a move a few years back, and I'mstill sorting through everything. Usually my builds are something goofy, like Archelos vehicles or some WUG nonsense that's just group hug with no real wincon, so I gotta see what survived :')
That's my point :'D Like if people are gonna gang up on me for playing a bad Vivi deck, I might as well play something that actually deserves/can handle being archenemy'd
No idea! Been playing since the original Mirrodin block, so I've got a soft spot for artifacts. Might rebuild Brudiclad or something WUR. Or I just go full-send stax since people assume I'm running a bracket 4 anyways :') I guess Vivi felt tame because I used to play like, Augustin and Nekusar
So if people are gonna expect 4s, I'm gonna build 4s. :V
The brackets thing seems sorta useful, but I built my Vivi deck very specifically to adhere to bracket 3 and people at locals got visibly upset. 2 game changers, mostly just wizards and cantrips. Bracket 3 says to expect removal/interaction, so I expected Jin to be removal bait. Alas :')
A four-panel comic with the first panel having a long-haired person with an excited expression saying, "I can run both of them and actually cast old Jin!" while Vivi Ornitier (Final Fantasy IX) and Jin-Gitaxias (Magic: The Gathering) behind them. The second panel is the person getting hit by a thrown chair. Third is them saying, "Ah," with a bump on their head. Fourth is them holding a scepter and in an outfit similar to Grand Arbiter Augustin IV (Magic: The Gathering), saying, "Understood!" There's smaller text that reads, "Did you pay the 1?"
Started showing up for my LGS's EDH nights to try to keep myself social n mentally active! Haven't played in years, and I like Final Fantasy and Phyrexians, so I was excited to build a (very unoptimized) Vivi deck! I still got archenemy'd, so I'm rebuilding Augustin.

I love Az but man do I hate drawing him. At least I'm finally fairly settled on his design. Hrblblbl
Side view of a horned character wearing a ragged, fur-collared coat. He has a long white ponytail and looks somewhere between a demon and magma creature.
The same as the first image but no coat.
Design stuff aaaa
Brain's been actively en-souping itself and this is eventually gonna be front and back, too. Hopefully. Treating my brain like it's 80 is helping but terrifying :'D
Having a terrible sense of time isn't helping. Feels like it's still 2022ish.

Armory, because I'm bad at names and I'm a goober that likes gimmicks, so every nation and city is named after some historic or mythological item of some sort. The main hub where everything takes place is Durandal :V
There's also Archive and Reliquary connected to it. Woo.

A woman with horns and roughly rabbit-like ears and nose looks melancholic while resting her head on her wrist.
Apparently it's sketch night

A quick sketch of two characters. The taller looks annoyed and is saying, "Every time he revives, he comes back a little... different." The shorter has his hand in the air with a concerning-but-excited expression, saying "Laws are threats!"
A friend made an offhand comment about trans anarchist gremlins and that fit a pair of characters from my project well enough, so, doodle. Wizards instead of gremlins, but ehh. The short one's afflicted by an immortality curse and is doing his best :')

A humanoid figure with a somewhat rabbit-like face and ears, wearing a black turtleneck and shorts. Her dark brown hair splits into two large strands that are shaped like wings, and she has small horns and a billowy tail.
I keep (affectionately) calling her "the rat" even though she's a wolpertinger.

Somewhere in my notes there's something like, "With all the magic and monsters people have to deal with, they've found things other than racism and sexism to be awful about." Half of it wound up being accidental allegory anyway, but c'est la too much shonen anime and JRPGs.

I am terrified of people and have had some real weird interactions that've made me extremely shy to do much more than follow people, but the daily worldbuilding has been helping me get outta that bubble a bit, so thank you :<
Her family scattered after gaining the reputation of a dangerous cult, and the shell of the maligned god attached himself to her during the fallout. So now she's accidentally become the center/leader of a gaggle of oddballs trying to figure out what to do with themselves and a dead god.
MC is from an affluent family of archivists. While not everything in their records is factually accurate, their most important piece of lore pertained to their god of death, claiming he was originally a god of cycles and fate, but lost any notion of benevolence over the years.

People of more mundane means, mostly wealth, also get some of this scrutiny, but less so than individual-what-can-punch-through-steel folks, since capitalism is abstract and not an immediate threat akin to someone walking around with a knife or gun or thought-powered flamethrower.
There's a lot of regulations involving mage and adventurer-types to the point that it can get a lil second-class-flavored, like they're not allowed any political involvement, they might be heavily monitored, people may get awkward if they know you're "one of them."
I'm still in a sort of "don't make it until you need it" state right now, but since a lot of the setting mirrors places I've been, the main country/city is stuck in "we totally don't have classes" but then you look at the QoL disparity and squint.

I was a very lonely teenager and life has not been kind :')
My main motivation is that I told myself I wanted to eventually make something that could help even one person feel less alone. I found comfort in media, and loved the things where you could clearly see parts of the author coming through, and I wanted to be on that side of things at some point.
I'd always loved drawing and entertaining people, and when I was in school, I was the kid that wound up friends with the librarians. My brain's a little soupy lately because of some health kerfuffles, but I'm still very driven to make things.
When I was 11, it finally clicked that anyone could just make stuff, and little me just started and never stopped. Never had a fanfiction phase, and what I'm working on now is a blend of everything I'd liked from previous things I'd made, all the way back to childhood.

I am cursed with funny and sometimes just sitting around making "what if" jokes turns into something actually real neat :')
Doing this instead of using communication-based magic is all a big dumb metaphor for her solving problems for people but never engaging more than surface level with the people she helps.
It's a vehicle for character growth or something.
She can kinda do whatever she wants as long as she doesn't strain her connection to her dead god buddy and it falls within his domain.
So any "accepted" definition of a word works to get magic to work, including slang, so there's a bunch of prescriptivist wizards that get all "back in myyyy daaaay" about slang magic.
But "cheating" and using connections and creativity instead of communication has MC in a weird, unique position.
(Creative means lazy in this case.)
And being too jumpy to focus on meanings of words to use magic is like a whole pretentious plot point because I make good decisions.
Logomancy in the setting works almost like entering a command into reality's console, so intent and understanding is important.
Being attached at the metaphorical hip to what used to be a god helps my MC with both fighting and "creative" problem solving. Using magic through that attachment works for her better than normal magic, as it's all logomancy and she's too scatterbrained to focus on meanings.

One of the group has political connections to keep things less legally precarious for them, but he's frequently at odds with other members, so there's inter-party danger there.
The setting-equivalent of Satan also isn't supposed to exist and has a sort of cosmic antibody after him :V
