Please report abuses of authority instead of dangerously talking justice into your own hands. You could’ve been injured.

For the sake of protocol, I’ll publicly condemn the use of force on The Boros.

So when the Legion beats a fellow cultist in the street, it is called "justice."

But when I create an artistic display in real time using a Legionnaire's soft and squishy bits, it's a "criminal disruption of the peace" and a "crime against basic decency" and vomit-inducing, apparently.

Outlaws of Thunder Junction + Tumblr Textposts Part 2

Love when MtG characters go to a different plane and play dress up.

Like, they didn't have to wear cowboy clothes on Thunder Junction, but everyone did.

Very cool of the necromancers (2), assassin, demon lord, witch, pirates (2), and little skeleton guy to get all gussied up even on a plane that has only know extraplanar beings

The plane was uninhabited not that long ago, there's no need to hide that you're from somewhere else, it's all for the fashion and flavor and it's great

You’ll find the distinctions labeled quite clearly in R-CoRDaD-3 Handbook, available at your nearest House Dimir library or mail-in request.

Have you guys ever thought about the difference between Devils and Demons?

Like, I know devils in the Cult are like, smaller, whimsical, etc etc, but what’s the line? Can a devil still like bloodlust and chaos and destruction? Can a demon heckle bad comedians? Any Cult of Rakdos members able to talk about the distinction?

And we are back with another commander deck idea!

I was watching some commander gameplay with Asmoranomardicadaistinaculdacar and became interested in the final line of text.

The activated ability of a creature dealing damage to itself is usually used as a removal spell, however! This is not restricted to your opponents’ creatures!

If, hypothetically I had a card like stuffy doll or brash taunter (which can deal damage to an opponent when they take damage, and are indestructible), then I can turn the creature removal into burn to a players face!

Combine this with an expensive red enchantment that triples damage dealt by a source you control, then it multiplies again from the damage redirection, and bam! 54 damage to a face by sacrificing two foods!

Thank you recent wotc for increasing the amount of black food token makers btw. Half considering trying to make this an Obosh companion deck but it will probably be too restrictive (doubles odd card damage, restricts to only odd cards)

(Edit! Probably not because I forgot Asmo was 0 mana cost)

Let me know any suggestions you have! And thanks for reading! ^^

These dice in red and black are really hot! They are called "Hellbend and Unleash". The inspiration for these dice was the Rakdos guild form Magic the Gathering.

These dice are still raw and need some sanding and inking.

New MtG animatic!

Kinda funny how the leading examples of black combined with their ally colors are destruction, either of the body with rakdos, or of the mind with dimir. However, when combined with enemy colors, black actually shows its capacity to preserve. The golgari preserve life, even in the dead and discarded. The Orzhov preserve the spirits of the dead, in this case to exploit them. Notably, on ravnica, the Orzhov and golgari uniquely have resurrection magic, while the dimir and rakdos commit crimes(thank you thunder junction)

This makes me think of the land that generates black mana: the swamp. Swamps are places where people are lost forever. They are places with some of the most hidden dangers of the world, and the most desperate to survive. They are places with creatures most reviled, but just as important to their ecosystem as any other. They are places that naturally mummify and preserve the dead they keep. The swamps remember every thing that happens to them. Every slight, every hope and dream.

A swamp is a place where things go to die, and in death, become eternal.

So, I’ve been pretty vocal about saying the guild system SUCKS. But you know what’s even worse?

This living guildpact bullshit. First we get some twink who keeps fucking directly off and not doing his job. What the fuck was he doing? Especially when we had like. 3 guild leaders murdered before the big war with the dragon and zombies invading.

Then we get Niv-mizzet. And I’m sorry to any Izzet followers, but he was the worst choice for a living guildpact. He is the FOUNDER of the Izzet, his own personal cult of personality. He’s antisocial, preferring to hide away and do research than to actually intervene when GUILD LEADERS ARE DYING AGAIN, and sure he SAYS he isn’t going to be biased. But he’s spent a few thousand years hanging out with one guild, do we actually fuckin believe that??

Rakdos would have been a better pick. At least he isn’t interested in scheming.

Niv-Mizzet: With our success in creating our own artificial omenpaths, I believe we are ready to move to the next stage in the Omenpath Project – sending a Ravnican through one of them.

Proft: That's very ahead of schedule! Should we look for volunteers?

Niv-Mizzet, arriving at the test chamber: I have already procured one.

Proft:

Proft: That's Rakdos.

Niv-Mizzet: Correct.

Proft: He's even still sleeping.

Niv-Mizzet: A representative from the Rakdos assisted us with moving him to the test chamber.

Proft: Are you sure having a Parun as the first test subject is a good idea?

Niv-Mizzet: What's the worst that could happen? That the omenpath is unstable and we finally find a way to kill him for good? That he ends up somewhere else where he isn't my problem?

Proft:

Proft: I can't change your mind on this, can I?

Niv-Mizzet: No.

Rakdos: *snork mi mi mi*
