If you would like to be kept up to date with the upcoming lists, please subscribe to my newsletter by clicking this link. I don’t send out letters too often, pretty much once a month when this list goes out… and occasionally if I release a book or something. As always, this is not a comprehensive list, but only includes all the books I have heard about so far. If you have a fantasy novel you are self publishing in June or beyond, let me know by filling out THIS FORM, and I shall add it to the page. There are but 3 requirements: 1) It must be a self published fantasy novel. 2) It must have a Goodreads page. 3) It must have a cover. -- 1st June – The Pyres of Vengeance (Swords of Dominion #2) by N.C. Koussis Epic Fantasy, Grimdark After losing everything she knew, Selene struggles to keep hope alive. Terrifying threats from the capital test her in ways she never thought possible. Richter can’t destroy himself or the corruption that lives in his body. He won’t let anything stop him from his mission, though – to kill every other werewolf on the Continent.

Will Arthur finally live up to his own legend, and can anything put an end to Tristan’s regret? Goodreads -- 1st June – The Exile of Zanzibar (Railroad to Zanzibar #1) by Daniel Maidman Epic Fantasy, Historical Fantasy Claire built a device to fold space and time. It had a flaw… When the smoke clears, she finds herself halfway across the world, thousands of years in the past, and no device in sight. In bronze-age Florence, war has lasted for generations. All Claire wants to do is get home, but she’ll need help from the locals. She wins an ally in Marcus Diophantus, a pickpocket turned soldier turned general, who hopes to turn into something more than just her champion. Together, they broker peace between Florence and its enemy. If Marcus is going to help Claire, he’ll have to survive. Peace has upset the balance of power in the capital city. The king stands increasingly alone against: the Constantines, a commercial enterprise as much as a clan, who aim to profit from peace as they have from war – the warrior nobles, descended from the founders of Florence and quick to turn against a weak throne – and Reburrus, the high priest of Florence, convinced Claire answers to hostile foreign gods. As the city comes to a boil, Claire and Marcus – and Marcus’s formidable army – will have to decide where their allegiance lies. Claire becomes a reluctant participant in a savage campaign. While Marcus leads the battles, she tries to gain control of the unimaginably powerful Ctesiphôn – a ghost tower in the heart of Florence, shrouded in magic and myth.

In the trading country, she gains confidence in her notoriety. In the exotic west, she makes a terrible mistake. However, one of Song’s dearest friends has become a wanted man, and they must find a way to free him of the price on his head. Will she commit the highest crime in the world, or will she lose him to the gallows?

All the while, the next season of Buzzard’s Bowl begins and Edelbrock, in his constant fight for survival, desires a vengeance he can only find in the arena. Seradal and Villic find themselves in the middle of a war between Remeria and the Camel Clans, and may end up on opposing sides, while the threat of Calrym looms over all of them. At the behest of the woman he loves, Demri finds himself thrown into the Elkavich, a not-so-secret order of Magicai who are intent upon fixing the world. Ashen, a former urchin rescued by a noble with selfish aspirations, works to dismantle the nobility of Calrym. Death is assured to all who walk the world, the only unknown is when they will perish.

At her side is her fox companion, Vulpo; the last of the Bloodsingers, Mei; and a Skybinder of questionable allegiance named Giack. However, Roisin’s actions draw the attention of the Skybinder nobility, entrapping her into political machinations with deadly outcomes. Piritta, newly reborn Soulmonger, is tasked with the search for the final member of the Soulmonger Triumvirate to lead the army to victory. And Kaori, leader of the Soulmongers, is given her own task, granting her more power than she could have ever imagined. The choices these young women must make will tear them apart, fracture them all, leaving cracks for something darker to seep in. And in the end, only the one with the strongest resolve will endure. Goodreads -- 1st June – The Nameless Restaurant by Tao Wong Urban Fantasy, Cozy Fantasy There is a restaurant in Toronto. Its entrance is announced only by a simple, unadorned wooden door, varnished to a beautiful shine but without paint, hidden beside dumpsters and a fire escape. There is no sign, no indication of what lies behind the door. If you do manage to find the restaurant, the décor is dated and worn. Homey, if one were to be generous. The service is atrocious, the proprietor a grouch. The regulars are silent, brooding, and unfriendly to newcomers. There is no set menu, alternating with the whim and whimsy of the owner. The selection of wine and beer is sparse or non-existent at times, and the prices for everything outrageous. There is a restaurant in Toronto that is magically hidden, whose service is horrible, but whose food is divine. This is the story of the Nameless Restaurant. Goodreads -- 4th June – Gold, Lock and Key (Grimdark Fairytales #1) by E.J.

Considered to be little more than a myth, Goldie assumes at first that the shapeshifters are an exaggeration – but with the sizeable bounty her employer is offering, she soon realises there may be more truth in it than she realised. And that isn’t the only thing on her mind: she discovers her main rival – a manipulative and incredibly cunning trapper named Southey – has also taken on the contract, and will be contending for the same bounty she so fervently desires. Having waited many long years to have her revenge and outsmart Southey for past mistakes, Goldie sees the new contract as a perfect opportunity to do so. All she has to do is play her cards just right. And kill three bears… Goodreads -- 4th June – Waybound (Cradle #12) by Will Wight Progression/Cultivation, Epic Fantasy Years ago, Lindon left his home as a powerless Unsouled. Now, he goes to war with the most powerful beings in the world over the future of Cradle itself.

Instead of a cell, they take her to the Cathedral of Light, which rivals a fortress. There she learns the truth about the Light while trying to hide who she really is. Her parents, who embrace the Dark, have the power to take over the mountain kingdom and could use her as the excuse to do so. Sergeant Vern can’t shake his desire to drink nor his anger at the Lord of Light for the disease that crippled and killed his sister at a young age. The cathedral lets him work with the class of deviants under his alias, but time is running out. The worse spring thaw of the century arrives and despite the great Cathedral of Light, the Dark has found a deep root in the kingdom. Worse, prophecies of the spiritual war manifesting in the physical come true as a mural changes before their eyes and its images step into their lives. Vern needs to accept the truth that sets him free of the curse cast upon his family so he can step into his true role. A truth that his sister professed about the Light through all her pain unto her last breath when angels took her home. Will their faith in the Light be enough to overcome their trials and save a kingdom? Goodreads -- 6th June – imPerfect Curse (The imPerfect Cathar #2) by C.N. Rowan Urban Fantasy I’m exhausted. Done in. Needing a stiff drink and about a week’s sleep. But that’s not going to happen. Because Franc is dying, struck by a curse placed on him by the Sistren Of Bordeaux, one of the most powerful groups of Talented in France. And because of our deal, it’s on me to find out what the hell is going on, and how Franc has offended the Sistren. Apart from by simply existing, of course. Except a simple trip to Bordeaux turns into a living nightmare as the past comes back to not just haunt me but to kick me square in the nuts, and I’m sent to the one place no Talented ever wants to go. Where those with magic either vanish or get ruined, left as nothing but empty husks. This time, it might not be the world at risk. It might be my very soul.

When Thrash unexpectedly breaks a mirror with her mind, she discovers she has a knack for magic and will receive one of the three sanctioned Gifts: Glamour, Growth, or Sight.

She arrives aiming to establish peaceful contact with the aid of the besotted prince. However, it becomes clear that the heartless demon king does not desire peace at all, only war and conquest.

But soon it is her heart she must keep from being torn between their centuries-old dangerous rivalry.

Within the sprawling empire of Lu-nevet, the two sides have settled into an uneasy peace, employing less violent tactics. But this peace can only hold for so long. The state religion of Lukeira sends devout demon hunter Mitzli deep into the borderlands to bless the victims of demonic pranks. Once they arrive, however, they find unexpected signs of violence. They team up with irreligious hunter Veleiry to investigate—and the destruction the two uncover is an ominous sign of what’s to come. Meanwhile, shiftless demon Kor falls under the scrutiny of his vampiric commander, Mant—meaning he must actually do the work of tormenting humans, rather than taking credit from his now-ex-partner Yez. Slowly, he begins to realize that the demons’ strategy is shifting, and may be heading down a path he cannot follow. Mitzli and Kor will have to betray their respective factions if they want to put an end to the violence before it escalates.

2023.06.07 11:10 Chris_Bischoff Leveraging both UNITY and UNREAL for our game.
Of the 4 games we have released, 3 have been created using Unity. The engine is incredibly robust, and we know it very well. Because our games are mostly 2D games, using something like Unreal is overkill for us. We also like the fact that our games look good but run on low-end spec’d machines.
That said, I am an artist, and while I’m comfortable enough with the art flow in Unity to get assets into the game engine and light them - I couldn't help but look at the art tools in Unreal with envious eyes!
My main focus has always been on creating high poly art and assets, which is why our games have used predominantly 2D prerendered graphics. But Unreal promised to break that limitation with Nanite and Lumen.
After watching the short film Irradiation by Sava Zivkovic last year, specifically his ‘Process video (
https://vimeo.com/585806244 )’, I decided to bite the bullet and learn Unreal.
Our games have always had prerendered cinematic sequences, but we have always had to be sparing. They take an enormous amount of time to do, and we have often had to design around those limitations. The hope was that, in switching to Unreal, we could eliminate much of the time sink in rendering these sequences and let loose!
I contacted Sava Zivkovic to get the PC specs he used to create Irradiation and bought a PC that mimicked what he had used. His main recommendation was a graphics card - a 3090 RTX (Not easy to acquire at the height of crypto and in far off South Africa, I might add).
While I knew that the game itself would still be created in Unity and the environments would still be rendered with VRay from 3DSMAX, I wanted to ensure parity between the different software. It should all feel cohesive.
While learning to use Unreal for our cinematics, I created a short 60-second film. I set myself a limited time to do this - one day. It was a gamble to buy such expensive hardware without knowing if it would even speed up our workflow, especially considering I had never used Unreal before.
The short film -
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Klop2l41Wts - was the proof of concept I needed to be certain we had made the correct choice. I kept my workflow for past cinematics unchanged. I animated the characters in 3DSMAX and exported the animations directly into Unreal. I think I would look at using Unreal’s control rig for future games - but I wanted to use the tools that I’m most comfortable with.
In our previous cinematics, a single 30 second sequence could take a week or more to create. The rendering alone - if done locally - would take the majority of that time. The downside as well was that if something went wrong, it would require a rerender to fix, or do a lot of alterations in the compositing stage.
This time could be saved by purchasing time on a render farm - but we are a small studio on a tight budget, so that wasn't feasible for us.
Using Unreal meant that the feedback was real-time. Alterations could be made and output at the same time. Having this level of feedback was incredibly freeing from an artistic and a production point of view.
For the environments, because the game uses high poly models, I could take what I had already created and bring them right into Unreal. They did require retexturing to use Unreals materials, but once I was used to the workflow, it went remarkably quickly.
We invested in a Rokoko Smartsuit 2, which helped in shaving days off of the time it took to create a sequence. The suit is incredibly easy to use with just one person, which was important as Stasis Bone Totem was built entirely remotely.
My small office served as a motion capture stage, along with polystyrene cubes as props, and masking tape on the tiled floors to outline the ‘stage’.
For LipSync I used a mixture of LiveLink and NVidias Audio to Face software - with a lot of hand tweaking. Going forward I will more likely take advantage of the many AI tools that are being created for facial animation.
At the end of production, I created 44 minutes of high quality, 4k cinematic sequences. To create the link between the Unreal renders and the VRay/Unity in-game renders, I matched the lighting of the scenes as well as possible. I also mixed in some elements rendered from Unreal (namely the character portraits) to ensure it all worked cohesively. Unreal is an incredible tool for an artist. While our games core engines will likely continue to be built around Unity, we will most certainly keep on using Unreal as a rendering and art tool in our future games.

2023.06.07 11:04 Chris_Bischoff Leveraging both UNITY and UNREAL for our game.
Of the 4 games we have released, 3 have been created using Unity. The engine is incredibly robust, and we know it very well. Because our games are mostly 2D games, using something like Unreal is overkill for us. We also like the fact that our games look good but run on low-end spec’d machines.
That said, I am an artist, and while I’m comfortable enough with the art flow in Unity to get assets into the game engine and light them - I couldn't help but look at the art tools in Unreal with envious eyes!
My main focus has always been on creating high poly art and assets, which is why our games have used predominantly 2D prerendered graphics. But Unreal promised to break that limitation with Nanite and Lumen.
After watching the short film Irradiation by Sava Zivkovic last year, specifically his ‘Process video (
https://vimeo.com/585806244 )’, I decided to bite the bullet and learn Unreal.
Our games have always had prerendered cinematic sequences, but we have always had to be sparing. They take an enormous amount of time to do, and we have often had to design around those limitations. The hope was that, in switching to Unreal, we could eliminate much of the time sink in rendering these sequences and let loose!
I contacted Sava Zivkovic to get the PC specs he used to create Irradiation and bought a PC that mimicked what he had used. His main recommendation was a graphics card - a 3090 RTX (Not easy to acquire at the height of crypto and in far off South Africa, I might add).
While I knew that the game itself would still be created in Unity and the environments would still be rendered with VRay from 3DSMAX, I wanted to ensure parity between the different software. It should all feel cohesive.
While learning to use Unreal for our cinematics, I created a short 60-second film. I set myself a limited time to do this - one day. It was a gamble to buy such expensive hardware without knowing if it would even speed up our workflow, especially considering I had never used Unreal before.
The short film -
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Klop2l41Wts - was the proof of concept I needed to be certain we had made the correct choice. I kept my workflow for past cinematics unchanged. I animated the characters in 3DSMAX and exported the animations directly into Unreal. I think I would look at using Unreal’s control rig for future games - but I wanted to use the tools that I’m most comfortable with.
In our previous cinematics, a single 30 second sequence could take a week or more to create. The rendering alone - if done locally - would take the majority of that time. The downside as well was that if something went wrong, it would require a rerender to fix, or do a lot of alterations in the compositing stage.
This time could be saved by purchasing time on a render farm - but we are a small studio on a tight budget, so that wasn't feasible for us.
Using Unreal meant that the feedback was real-time. Alterations could be made and output at the same time. Having this level of feedback was incredibly freeing from an artistic and a production point of view.
For the environments, because the game uses high poly models, I could take what I had already created and bring them right into Unreal. They did require retexturing to use Unreals materials, but once I was used to the workflow, it went remarkably quickly.
We invested in a Rokoko Smartsuit 2, which helped in shaving days off of the time it took to create a sequence. The suit is incredibly easy to use with just one person, which was important as Stasis Bone Totem was built entirely remotely.
My small office served as a motion capture stage, along with polystyrene cubes as props, and masking tape on the tiled floors to outline the ‘stage’.
For LipSync I used a mixture of LiveLink and NVidias Audio to Face software - with a lot of hand tweaking. Going forward I will more likely take advantage of the many AI tools that are being created for facial animation.
At the end of production, I created 44 minutes of high quality, 4k cinematic sequences. To create the link between the Unreal renders and the VRay/Unity in-game renders, I matched the lighting of the scenes as well as possible. I also mixed in some elements rendered from Unreal (namely the character portraits) to ensure it all worked cohesively. Unreal is an incredible tool for an artist. While our games core engines will likely continue to be built around Unity, we will most certainly keep on using Unreal as a rendering and art tool in our future games.

2023.06.07 11:02 Fun-Engineering-190 Uploading evidence online for bonafide marriage. Is it safe?
Hi guys,
Since I applied for marriage based AOS November 21st 2022, I gathered more and more evidence since I am living with my spouse full time now.
We originally only submitted a 4 years photo album, joint bank account and letters from friend in the original application, since we just moved in together after I moved from Canada.
Now that we’ve been living together for 9 months now, in addition to the previous evidence, We now have insurance together, his will that includes me, more domestic flights together in the US, christmas cards and gifts etc…
Is it safe to upload the new evidence now without and RFE? Or shall I wait for USCIS to send me a request (if they ever will). Anyone tried this? Recommendations? Share your experience please ❤️

2023.06.07 10:45 oJurn This fair?
2023.06.07 10:22 CrazyAlfalfa4298 Currently making a game. What features would you like to see in a game made with the steam deck in mind?
I'm currently in the beginning stages of making an rpg style game that uses cards in it's battle system.. kinda like old school pokemon combined with something like slay the spire except you explore an open world in a pixel art style with somewhat random encounters.
I want to make sure the game is made with the steam deck and other hand helds in mind from the very start. I need to know what kind futures you would want to see include that makes the game easier to play on deck given what kind of game this is. I'm talking things like graphics options, general optional, default settings, connections and other such things.
I'm new to this and haven't made anything other than Minecraft mods before so this type of stuff is new to me. I want to finally make the game I've always wanted to play.

2023.06.07 10:03 Zero_Owl WotC bolting the Money Bringers?
Hello! Here is my feedback to the developers of MTGA which I would like for them to read and probably do something with it. This post is solely devoted to the non-core part of the game, which I consider to be a premium part of it: cosmetics. Let me start with the most recent events.
1. Pre-orders
Now with the LotR preorders out we can compare them with what we had before. For 2 sets, starting from ONE, we had a split preorder which was known before that as Play bundle which was targeting those who don't want to buy packs (mostly those, who builds their collection through the drafts). I will still consider both play + pass bundle as one bundle since that's how I buy and it makes the comparison easier.
Both ONE and MOM play bundles were of the same value:
- Sealed token
- 2 draft tokens
- 5 Play-In Points
- 2 different mythic card art sleeves
- 2 different mythic cards + their styles
- Unique pet
- Mastery Pass
And compare it to the LotR preorder:
- Sealed token
- 2 draft tokens
- 5 Play-In Points
- Mythic card art sleeves
- Mythic card + style
- Mastery Pass
So if we pre-order LotR we lose a mythic card, its parallax style and a pet. If you take the pet's value from the store we are missing out on (1200 + 3000 + price_of_the_mythic_card) ~= 4200 gems or 20$. So we buy essentially the same product which we bought previously but now we are getting 20$ less content from a bundle which costs 40$. So get basically half of what you usually get. Not cool.
Yes, the pre-order can still be considered good in terms of gems-to-$ but it doesn't matter to me, because I felt like we had a contract which terms won't be worse as we proceed. Yes we didn't signed anything but since the things have been the same for some years I used to some particular treatment and wouldn't mind the terms to improve. But when the terms deteriorated it left me confused to say the least. That's why I choose not to buy any of the pre-orders this time (first time since IKO!): you violated the contract so I have to abstain from buying it, even if I want to—I just can't condone such a behavior. And given that my main game formats are Historic + Alchemy + Limited I'm the target audience for this set and pre-order, what an irony.
So whoever is in charge of this change just lost a customer who has been buying the product for 3 years (apart from me not playing during VOW-SNC). And even if the next set is done better than this one, like the old ones, the damage is still done, you lost some of the goodwill. From now on the pre-orders are no longer must buy for me. Nice!ly done.
2. Daily deals
Since the DD has been introduced we had the following unwritten contract:
- 40-50% off the most recent cards (mostly 50% with occasional 40%).
- 50-75% off the older cards.
- Occasional, but not rare, 80-95% off some card. Cards usually playable.
- All rare duals/triome land parallax styles within ~2 weeks of the set release. All at once for 50% off.
Personal story of how I dealt with these deals. I bought all the lands. Bought all the 60%+ outside of the cards I deemed unplayable. Bought most of the 50% if I could imagine playing some of these cards later. Many of the cards I ended up never using but that was ok. Also I was unwilling to spend more than 3000 gems per day, just a personal quirk. I spent a lot on DD styles. Anyway, it was always fun to check the DD every day and read what other people think about the cards offered: what is playable, how good they are etc.
Of course, there was a room for improvement for the DDs: more thematic sales, like tribals, deck that won something, most played cards in this month etc. (like a few days ago was the best deal in months, featuring Creativity card styles; both discount and card selection were great). Instead, some 7-8 months ago you broke this contract and filled the DD with uplayable cards, which sometimes are not playable even in the corresponding draft format, accompanied by the bad discounts.
Now we have 20%-40% for the new and old cards alike. Most of the time the card selection is boring even for bigger discount. There is nothing to read about the deals because it is mostly gloom and despair. In ONE you didn't even sell all the rare dual land styles which never happened before! I don't know what numbers are telling you but as far as I'm concerned you almost killed the thing that needed an improvement and it is sad. Why almost? Because I still have hope.
Now personal story of how my dealing changed. I do not buy anymore styles which I won't play today or tomorrow. They became expensive and I don't want to buy them. Only what is necessary I buy. And it doesn't matter anymore if it is 50% today because I know that everything else will be expensive tomorrow so I'd rather keep my money for what I really need. For example, recently the MOM Kogla card was offered for 50% and while before it was a snap buy (because I see myself playing it in some unknown-yet deck), now I just abstained because right now I don't have or see the deck I want to put it in. With this change I mostly stopped using gems to buy styles because the rare occasions I buy them, I can use gold which keeps growing for having nothing else to spend it on. Since the DD has been introduced I almost never had gold on my account until 6-8 months ago. Now I almost always have it. Oops.
3. Card styles
And finally I want to point out the most egregious part of the negligence toward the premium content and us, buyers. Implementation of the so called depth art card styles, or parallax styles as we, MTGA people, call it. Here are the problems with them that I know of.
3.1 Styles exist/existed but not applied to the cards.
There are many cards which were lacking styles before these styles were added through the spellbooks or conjuring of the corresponding digital-only cards (aka Alchemy). Most of them were also applied to the older cards but not all of them. Cards like Colossus Hammer, Blood Artist and Youthful Valkyrie all have styles implemented but you can't buy/apply these styles to the existing standalone cards. That should be fixed.
NOTE: this and later lists are not comprehensive and are here to illustrate the problem, not to build an exhaustive list of all the problems. I'd appreciate (and hope the devs would too) if you improve these lists by commenting with the cards these lists are lacking.
3.2 Styles for the tokens.
While you seem to have some kind of diligence as far as main cards are concerned you seem to casually ignore tokens which these cards are producing. The most egregious example is the release of MOM where no card generates a parallax token. Not a single one. The main theme with incubators and none of them are implemented properly. Guys, that's really really bad. You seem to not understand that for us, buyers, the token is as important as the main card. And I'm not just talking about cards like Sunfall or Ral's Reinforcement where it should be obvious. I'm talking about consistency: I want my part of the board to look consistent, which means all the permanents on my side should not have borders.
If I have cards that I can't make lose borders then the consistency dies and I stop caring about other cards, essentially making me not wanting to buy anything at all! One more time: tokens are as important as the main card, they all should be parallaxed. And if some card, having parallax style, produces non-parallax token then it should be considered a bug which has to be fixed. We don't know if the card worked before or not and we shouldn't bother to know that: no style, report, get it fixed. As simple as that; for everyone.
Speaking of which the following list presents you with the cards (category of cards, really) which used to produce the styled tokens but not anymore (and for some this "anymore" is how long, year, more than a year?): Wedding Announcement (staple card in virtually any white deck in Standard!), Verdant Command (squirrels), DnD treasures (Prosperous Innkeeper and many other playable cards), Legion's Landing. Is this list exhaustive? I don't think so but these I came up with anyway. What should we do with the styles we bought months ago? Should we ask for refund en mass? Thinking...
And there is another list of playable cards which to my knowledge never produced styled tokens: Saprolings (Slimefoot and Squee is now a playable card, sapros should be styled), Devils from “Ob Nixilis, The Adversary”, Rhino for Titan Of Industry, Cats & Dogs from Jinnie Fay, Angels from Resplendent Angel (staple in the angels).
So 2 lists, the first one is full of bugs the second is full of job-not-done. I know that, because I'm curious and have been playing this game for long. Average user doesn't and shouldn't know that. So for the avg user both lists should be the same: bugs. And bugs should be fixed. Since these bugs are in the premium content they should be fixed ASAP. The only thing that outclasses it is the core gameplay. And for these bugs there should be a separate category on a normal bug tracker where people can get some feedback, not this seemingly abandoned self-hosted User Voice where you post to oblivion.
3.3. Non-existent styles for the staple cards.
Now let's go to the territory of missed opportunities. The following list contains the list of cards which are staple in meta decks but never had the styles for them added:
Munitions Expert, Reckless Charge, Shoreline Scout's conjured Land, Regal Force from Freyalise, Sterling Grove, Parhellion II, Damping Sphere, Elvish Clancaller.
And here is another list with not staples but solid cards which saw and still see play in probably not tier 1 but solid competitor decks: Dwynen's Elite, Spawn Of Mayhem, Legion's Lieutenant, Champion of Dusk, Vicious Conquistador, Herald's Horn, Shaper's Sanctuary, Archon of Emeria.
And finally to some interesting example which we had with SIS (bonus-sheet subset to Shadows Over Innistrad Remastered, or SIR). We have styles for Falkenrath Noble, Kruin Outlaw and Barter in Blood but don't have styles for Snapcaster Mage, Avacyn's Pilgrim (and/or Young Wolf), Griselbrand. 3 whatever cards have styles while 3 playables with 2 of them iconic (?) do not. Who planned the implementation of these styles? Good game.
So this section is about missing opportunities. Why? Because you fail to present me with the options to buy. I want to buy styles in general but I snap buy the styles for the staple cards I can play every day and in multiple decks. We have tons of cards, mostly from the time when there were no paralax styles, still not implemented. But with SIR & SIS we had a newly introduced to Arena set which has most of the cards unstyled. Not cool.
I get it, you have only so much you can do with the resources you have. I really do and if you can't for some reason style every card from the past let's implement the priority queue where we, the users, will vote for what should be implemented next. You create a list of all the not-implemented card styles and we vote. You implement the top-voted style and remove it from the poll. That way we will see progress, have influence on what should be done next and you will see what styles people are not interested in and can be safely ignored. Implemented styles should be put into the patch notes so we know when to come back and vote again.
So that's how I see the final solution:
- All new-to-Magic sets should be fully styled. It is your face, it is what new and casual users will meet with first. You can't tolerate half-baked premium content there.
- New-to-Arena (but not to Magic, like SIR) should be fully styled if possible. If not then the priority should be deduced from the MTGO data (or other data you think is better) of the most playable cards in the formats Arena has some access to (Explorer ~ Pioneer, Modern ~ Historic, Historic Brawl ~ Commander) and implemented accordingly. The rest should be added to the vox populi list of delayed implementation.
3.4 A few words about other styles.
Sagas is another thing that is a bit controversial and inconsistent. Most of them are not parallaxed and, in my opinion, the saga permanent itself should not be parallaxed. It doesn't need this treatment they are good as is. But some of them still should have parallax styles. Why? Because some of them produce tokens or transform. You had Tymaret Calls the Dead parallax style implemented which reflects on the saga but not tokens. Instead it should produce parallax tokens and the saga itself can be unstyled (anyone have other opinion on that?). The same goes to other token generating sagas like History of Benalia and others. But the more important ones are the NEO sagas which transform into creatures. While, again, the saga permanent doesn't need to be parallaxed the resulting creature should.
So when you implemented everything mentioned in this post I will finally being able to have my side of the board fully styled in one consistent style. For which I paid real money because there is no way for a f2p player to style their decks fully and consistently. As far as I'm concerned it is a win-win for both parties. Because the other way to have your side of the board consistent is to not have styles at all. And that is lose-lose for me and you.
--
The last topic I'd like to touch is parallax lands. IIRC the last parallaxed non-full art basic lands were implemented in Eldraine and then you stopped (snow lands in KHM were also gorgeous). The only full-art lands which got parallax styles were Nyx lands from THB. It is the other thing that you are missing out: probably not every set has beautiful basics but LotR has some, why not implement the parallax lands there? Same goes to some full art lands. I get it that you need a square to have the land looks cool but some of them can be cut to squares and still look good, so maybe experiment some? Lands are sellers, aren't they?
Personally, I stopped buying lands after THB because they have borders. I really like my THB lands but don't mind to buy some others to have some diversity across the decks. Oh, and give the people who wasn't lucky playing during THB an opportunity to buy these parallaxed lands. Take their money they are throwing at you!
Anyway my long feedback post is finally over, not that I don't have anything more to say, I just think it is enough for now. I hope
u/WotC_Jay and other people responsible for making decisions for this game will read it in words and spirit. If I was harsh in some words, I don't really meant it that way. I wish this game all the best and hence this post. But only you can make it happen, so...

Title: "Echoes of the Heart"
INT. FBI QUANTICO - BAU BULLPEN - DAY
Agents are busy at their desks, profiling cases. Agent EMILY PRENTISS (mid-30s, intelligent, strong-willed) walks in, joining her team, including Agent JENNIFER "JJ" JAREAU (late 30s, empathetic, resourceful).
EMILY (to the team) We've got a new case, and it's a puzzler. Two seemingly unrelated murders in different states, but they share some striking similarities. Both victims were married, no children, no criminal records.
JJ (interested) What about the crime scenes?
EMILY Both were staged to look like accidents, but the killer left subtle details suggesting it was murder.
INT. VICTIM #1'S HOUSE - LIVING ROOM - DAY
The team examines the crime scene, with EMILY and JJ leading the way. They observe signs of a struggle and notice a small painting with an intricate design.
JJ (pointing at the painting) Do you think this has any significance?
EMILY It could be a calling card or a signature left by the unsub. Let's analyze it back at the lab.
INT. FBI QUANTICO - BAU LAB - DAY
EMILY and JJ work together, studying the painting, while the rest of the team conducts background checks on the victims.
EMILY (gently teasing) You're quite the art aficionado, JJ. Did you take any art classes during your sabbatical?
JJ blushes, but maintains her focus on the painting.
JJ (avoiding eye contact) Just a few classes. It's relaxing.
EMILY (smiling) Well, your expertise might help us catch this killer.
They share a moment of connection before their attention turns back to the case.
INT. BAU MEETING ROOM - DAY
The team gathers for a briefing, presenting their findings.
EMILY Both victims had art connections. Victim #1's husband was an art dealer, and Victim #2's wife was an art collector. There's a high possibility the unsub is connected to the art world.
JJ (nods) The painting we found might be the key to finding the killer. We should consult an art expert.
INT. ART GALLERY - DAY
EMILY and JJ meet with LUCAS CARTER (40s, knowledgeable art curator) at a local art gallery.
LUCAS (examining the painting) This is the work of a lesser-known artist, Markus Solis. He specialized in symbolism and had a small following. I can provide you with a list of his clientele.
EMILY Please do. And let us know if any names stand out.
INT. BAU BULLPEN - DAY
EMILY and JJ go through the list of clients provided by LUCAS. They find a common name, JASON EVANS, who happens to be an art enthusiast and a frequent buyer of Solis' work.
EMILY Looks like we found our prime suspect. JJ, let's pay Mr. Evans a visit.
INT. JASON EVANS' HOUSE - LIVING ROOM - DAY
EMILY and JJ question JASON (40s, nervous, obsessive) about the murders. His answers raise suspicions.
JJ (pointing at the painting on the wall) Did Markus Solis paint that one too?
JASON (uneasy) Yes, it's one of his early works.
EMILY (realizing) Your fascination with Solis led you to mimic his style, but you couldn't handle the fact that he grew more popular than you.

These cutting-edge technologies allow us to deploy and scale fast and easily without much of the classic dev ops hassle. Everything is monitored by our custom monitoring system, Pingdom, CloudWatch, constantly analyzing KPIs of our Foodjis . Our cloud backends as well as the machine software operating on our IoT foodjis in the field are running on GoLang. For predicting future sales and inventory, we utilize state-of-the-art machine learning models in Python, for computational vision detections, we mostly use AWS Rekognition trained on pictures taken from multiple cameras inside our Foodjis.

About us We are a foodtech startup from the heart of Munich and market leader in our field. We are passionate about fresh, healthy and above all delicious food and believe that this should not be offered exclusively in the canteens of the 40 DAX corporations, but should also be available to the employees of small and medium-sized companies in Germany. Those who work in shifts; the students at university who are still poring over books late at night and also the travelers in hotels, at the airport or train station - it is them that we would like to make everyday life easier for.
In addition, we want to act as sustainably as possible and have set ourselves the goal of preventing food waste, because currently in the food industry unfortunately still 30-40% of the goods are thrown away. That's why we "foodjis" are not only food lovers, but also tech nerds. Because only smart technology, self-learning algorithms and efficient supply chains can solve the paradox between freshness, availability and sustainability.
Since our market entry in 2020, we have been able to win around 200 customers throughout Germany. These customers include Lufthansa, Tesla, and Vivantes, among others. In Germany alone, there are more than 100,000 relevant locations for us.

2023.06.07 09:51 UseApprehensive1102 (Repost) New Card Reviews: Martin Luther King Jr.!
| Hello, let us review the notable, no pun intended, "King of Civil Rights" Martin Luther King Jr. Well, we are doing this 2 months early, by the way. Energy: 3 Power: 10 Rarity: Legendary (Basic) Special Ability: Stride Toward Freedom (When played, your cards in hand gain +20 Power this turn and whem returned, if you won the turn, you gain +1 Energy/turn permanently.) MLK Jr. is a generalist support card. He effectively has 70 hitting power, for just 3 Energy. This translates to approximately 23 PPE effectively. This is a good breaking point, but it is not really the main point of this card, since many other Legendaries like German Shepherd and Elysium employ similar buffs. However, his main specialty is the permanent Energy/turn boost if won. For a card that costs only a dirt cheap 3 Energy, having this ability seems really powerful, especially on low-Energy rules since only a few cards can provide permanent Energy/turn debuffs to opponents. His power support synergizes quite well with this ability, and the "Play" ability works on anything from A Christmas Carol to HD 189733 b to Dracula Parrot. The Return ability also makes Francis Crick and Amazon Sloth, both of which starve you of Energy by decreasing your Energy generation for the rest of the game more bearable to use. His low base Power might make him require support, but it can also be beneficial in some circumstances. Notably, he can be played in the middle slot to absorb the debuffs from Chronophotographic Guns, Dracula Parrots and Snowflakes. Of course even this notable civil rights activist has limitations. Because he relies on winning games, he is weak to splash-based Power-reducers such as Chupacabra, Longsword, Hammerhead Shark and Blood, among others. If not available, locking this card with Triathlon, Shi Pei Pu or The Brain is still an option, as he has no Draw or Start-based abilities. Lastly, Shake Up The System isn't a viable collection, as there aren't many powerful supporters for the collection. Overall, this card's combination of powerful abilities is enough to warrant him an S+ status. Works on any deck, even the one with specialized collections (Birds, Sharks, Primates, etc...) or tons of Limited cards. submitted by UseApprehensive1102 to cuecardgameAvid [link] [comments] |

So i have a card that I want to put into my standard deck which the set is legal for now. But I'm curious if I'm allowed to put in arts from a different set in for the card. The card in question is monastery swiftspear. I have 3 of the double masters 2022 art. But was curious if that'd be tournament legal to do?

2023.06.07 09:09 brujitamagica My (32f) boyfriend (39m) is upset I’m changing my beliefs
My (32f) boyfriend (39m) is upset with me for leaning towards Christianity. Since 2017 I have been doing tarot/horoscopes and like the occult crap and even dabbled into magic a bit not a-lot, I no longer do that nor wish to continue doing that. Ever since God healed and did wonders with my mothers narcissistic tendencies it has given me the ability to heal the relationship with my mom more than ever and I’m happy that God Jesus has worked his miracle on my mom.
For years I have been stuck with obstacles and instability to the point I was depressed doing tarot over and over again but it only got repetitive boring not realizing that it was that what was making me stuck in life. Ever since my mom converted into Christianity she has brought so much faith especially all the changes she made as a mother from going toxic to loving and supporting. I honestly believe in god always had a connection with him but at the same time had opened doors to other beings that do not belong in my life.
Met my bf 2020 been in relationship since and he’s someone who believes in god but doesn’t involve himself in prayer focuses to much on having fun and just “ thinking positive” super ignorant of the spiritual world. So I decided to tell him I no longer wish todo tarot and that I plan to dispose of my cards/object and he got very upset that I just “gave up” he said that I was “ all over the place” wasn’t thinking straight and that acting out of impulse because I’m being brainwashed by my mom.
I told him that I was ready for a change in my life and that this was new chapter in my life I was ready to have a stronger relationship with god and do more or his will. BF gifted me a couple decks for Christmas that I had asked for but he doesn’t understand that I need to dispose of all that. He was deeply offended that I was throwing away his gifts.
How can I approach this situation better?
The funny part is that we both come from the same race/background and religious beliefs in our family. So i don’t understand why he’s so upset ?? His mom and upbringing believes in God
