The Commander duo is here to bring you fun Magic: The Gathering content; with deck reviews, product reviews, proxy tutorials and more to come. We are excited to share with you some quality products, deck builds, and custom cards. We hope you enjoy and maybe get some pointers to building and making your own decks!
It’s nice that the full art version from mh3 was under 10 bucks bc it’s a nice looking card. I picked that version up for my meren deck. She runs well with eldrazi scions and I think she will synergize well with ygra from bloomburrow as a good sac engine. If I had more titans I’d make her a full eldrazi deck but the scions are real money makers as far as generating mana early game and also pumping out counters faster than usual with just ramp. You can use the scions to cast a big creature and then use the experience counters for another large creature
Glad I happened upon this video, and I love it! Personally I like Yae Miko as Light-Paws though. If there's any way I can buy these somehow, I would. As someone who plays MTG and Genshin, I really love this a lot!
What do you think of Mortal Kombat themed deck, that allows to use almost every legendary creature as commander, just like to choose character in roster?
Wow, I'm blown away. The art is incredible, especially the commander art. You did a great job with the naming, formatting and flavor text, it all feels natural and that takes a lot of time and effort. I've been making nickname and custom cards in cardconjurer for years and this has inspired me to give proxies a try :)
i remember your old guides to make proxies but after that site got taken down i haven't found another way to make custom proxies, are the ones u have here made with a certain website? would totally love to get back into making custom card designs now that i'm a better deck builder.
Yes there is a reddit post on the web that assists with downloading a copy of it as well as people rehosting the site via different links, there's lots of ways to still use the original cardconjurer! If you have any questions about it, feel free to join our discord :)
How do I remove the black edges from the images I download from MPCfill? I live in Brazil, there is no way to place an order here. I wanted to download the images there because it is the best site with the best quality. But when I download the image it appears smaller and with a black border.
great video. two questions: 1) why put saturation higher on cardconjurer? will it not be vibrant enough? 2) did you ever have to upscale the DPI of pictures uploaded to MPC. i think cardconjurer saves your png as 96 DPI and MPC says at least 300.
Sometimes I just like the extra color pop with the saturation but its by no means necessary. I would say no, I have submitted some really high res upscaled cards that are about 30mb per card and they still turn out the same as something that's much lower res. Their printing only go so high. They just want you to have high quality card images so that they don't turn out really blurry and such.
Thank you man! this is such a good tutorial! I just finished ordering me and some family some cards. I ordered 270 cards using s33 cardstock, gloss finish, shrink wrapped for a subtotal of $97.95, $20.99 standard shipping (lowest shipping cost) and a $7.30 sales tax for a total of $126.24 for those of you who want a update on prices. I am in the US.
Oof. Well, it depends. If they all have a black border or if they're all extended art it should be pretty easy to fix. If it's full art, its going to be really hard to fix.
I'm trying to input the art I made in photoshop into MPC and I cant get the cards to resize correctly to upload them into MPC. No matter how I change the size in photoshop, MPC acts like I did nothing to change the card size and still gives me the same borders cut the same way. Does anyone know how to fix this. I have over 200 proxies I've made in photoshop. These printout just fine in the dimension I need for paper proxies. I want to make the cards look more official using MPC. I've even tried other trading card makers and none are as good or easy to use as MPC. The next step for me would be to just buy a high quality printer and use cardstock to print the cards onto. I feel like its stupid to spend that much money when I COULD USE MPC IF ONLY THE DAMN PICTURES WOULD FIT PROPLEY. I might have rigged the game from the start by using a card border from a card on scryfall and I use the original text for the cards off of scryfall from my proxies.
Hey! I love the decklist and have been making a similar build but I used quite a bit of artifact token generation? I know this is super late after the vid came out but why didnt you use any? Im just curious to apply to my deck.
This is a glass cannon build. It's meant to be extremely potent and fast. The token generation did nothing for this build. The playgroup it was built for was pretty competitive lol.
As promised, we have released the full deck! To access the files, just join our discord! It's in the description. You'll find the link to the files in the announcement tab and the alteredcardfiles tab. ENJOY AND GO FINISH THE FIGHT!!!
As of April 2nd 2024 the website is completely different from this video and I can’t even do anything compared to what you are doing. Is there a way to fix this or am I just out of luck.
Mausoleum Secrets is a great budget tutor in this deck. One and a black to search for a black card with mana value less than or equal to the number of creature cards in your graveyard. Goes straight into your hand.
