It's quiet, too quiet ....

Oh how the days pass so quickly and the chance to write anything interesting is swallowed up by other activities.

Bit of Ian Miller artwork to look at.

This is just a quick post to say that this blog is still active and will be getting some cool updates in the near future. Including more Orks, more Heroquest, more chaotic things, a battle report (2nd Edition style) and maybe even a werewolf!

In the meantime here is a photo of a game of gaslands that I played a few weeks back.

Racing into the lead (not my car).

Until next time.

Change the record it's a Magic the Gathering art column.

What do Reality Twist, Verduran Emissary and Look at me I'm the DCI have in common?

"No it isn't that they could be fun in a Bant deck."

The answer is they are one shot magic the gathering artist cards. Yes everyone has that Magic the Gathering artist they love be it Rebecca Guay, John Avon or Aleksi Briclot but for every artist that has contributed numerous pieces of art to the game there are those who have just provided one bit of art for one card.

I thought it would be nice to explore this area for a bit of fun. In total there are 25 MtG cards that have a unique artist so let's dive in chronologically with:

Stasis

Fay Jones is the artist of Stasis and was asked to do the piece as a favour to Richard Garfield in the very first Magic the Gathering set. Unique with the abstract choice of a clown and Jackal balancing on a seesaw wile painting. Some like this, others hate it but for me it is as iconic as you can get with Magic card art. Also the card is a pain in the ass when you get locked down in a game.
