What's up, Bluesky? I'm Trentyn, and I am probably the biggest Talrand stan you'll ever meet.

This, is #TalrandPosting, the place where I show you my favorite deck: a $20 Talrand deck that I'm in the process of blinging out to it's fullest, most expensive form.

Welcome 💙

The first upgrades I made to Project Talrand. Promo foil Jace's Ingenuity, promo foil Boomerangs, Anticipate and Dissolve, 7th edition foil Unsummon, Onslaught foil Lonely Sandbar, and Shadowmoor foil Spell Syphon, alongside a showcase foil Talrand signed by Tyler Walpole, the artist.

When it's Wheeler Wednesday but your partner has an appointment after work so you can't watch the new CanLander episode 😩

All of my creator friends were so hyped for this set. They were glowing. So much so that I had to mute UB:SPM related phrases because I personally just don't care about SPM and the set does not appeal to me.

To try and say that *they're* the reason the set is perceived negatively is... baffling.

Influencers, notably ones who did not receive free product from the mother ship and were actually SO excited about the IP, were CONSISTENTLY the voice of positivity & optimism for this set.

I don't appreciate the subset of leading questions trying to pin the failings of this set on influencers.

The reason I never got into Souls games. I'm not clever enough for glass cannon, one-shot builds, I'm not proficient enough for regular combat, and I can't sink 100 hours into just grinding to beat basic enemies

It's honestly super sick, and I rarely will ever say that about my own work haha.

I'm so hyped to finish it and try to get something made with it as a test print

Trentyn, Talrand's RL Bestie (he/him) @trentyn.bsky.social · 1d

Finished the baseline font last night for the "clean" version. Pretty stoked with how it tuned out honestly. I do think the more eldritch monstrosity version is cooler but I do like that this one is both clean and readable while still being pretty metal.

Gonna try and finish the other one tonight

Lonis 2 is also a combo outlet! Haha. But he is a super cool design if you avoid combo and try to play fair

Trentyn, Talrand's RL Bestie (he/him) @trentyn.bsky.social · 1d

Commander also must fit the restriction, so Lonis 1.0 wouldn't fly but you could use Lonis 2.0

Kiddo would be 13 today.

Happy birthday, Ellie 💜 you're missed each and every day.

My biggest issue with breaking down decks is the sorting that follows suit, bar none

Any moots wanna come to Alaska and hang out and help me organize/donate/sell-list my collection? 🥺👉👈

I think I'm going to slowly commit to breaking down everything and reverting to being a singleton owner. Except maybe mana bases.

I have no need to for playsets; I don't play those formats.

The entirety of the IKO Ultimatum cycle bangs.

Shoutout to my favorite one to build around with sick as fuck Dominik Mayer art

This card bangs so hard.

Honestly, all of the IKO ultimatums whip ass

I'm trying to make it more Signs of the Swarm esque the more I work with it haha. But I also like legibility 🤣

Our guitarist doesn't like this "style" of logo so I told him I'd make it even worse and somehow I made this 10x cooler 🤣

Still a WIP

I love playing music.

Just kinda hate "band politics"

Trentyn, Talrand's RL Bestie (he/him) @trentyn.bsky.social · 2d

Like... dude... we're metal band. To say that we have a "style" of merch or logo we need to adhere to is asinine.

But whatever. Go pay someone else to design new merch for fun for a band with pipe dreams of being real again but doesn't want to spend money on anything.

Me: *spends hours tinkering with a fun idea for a merch thing for the band and is super excited about it*

My brother (our guitarist): "it's cool but that's not really our style of merch design"

Me: *remembers why I stopped bothering trying to do art and shit FOR FREE for these dinguses*

I wouldn't hate some more individual 4c duders in the colors that are lacking them (sans black is doing fine) but in general i do agree.

I had a hard enough time fitting cards and making cuts into a 3c deck for Yoshi//Reyhan

Trentyn, Talrand's RL Bestie (he/him) @trentyn.bsky.social · 2d

Kinda feeling this for the band 🤔

"Distance Defined" in a modified 'Betrayer' font. Distance is filled in im black with stresses and breaks. Defined is still just line work

Trentyn, Talrand's RL Bestie (he/him) @trentyn.bsky.social · 2d

The hardest thing to convince myself to breakdown is the 4-player draftable Mono Black Cube.

EDH decks, minus Yoshi//Reyhan and Talrand, come and go and I'm not 1000% glued to most of them.

But something about that cube is just cool. So even though we never draft it I don't wanna crunch it
