Silver Myr for sure. It looks so contemplative in the storm.
The magic the Gathering card Silver Myr from the set Mirrodin printed in 2003 with art by Kev Walker. The art depicts a small robot creature with a long curved face and several glowing rings emblazoned on it's head and shoulder. It is crouched down behind a wall, slightly sheltered from the rain lancing in from the top right of the art. In the background, we can see the quicksilver sea with several spires rising from it. Lightning strikes the sea in the background. ---- Silver Myr {2} Artifact Creature — Myr {T}: Add {U}. "The vedalken saw the myr as toys, unaware of the intelligence lurking behind their empty eyes." 1/1

There must be other Snap cards which would be busted in mtg. Like does Cannonball move the card to a different player, or does "moving" not exist so it can only destroy?
The Marvel Snap card Cannonball, base variant with art by Eduardo Mello and Ryan Kinnaird. The art depicts a blond male wearing red goggles and a yellow and black superhero costume. He appears to be flying using fire, and is leaving a smoke trail in his wake. The card text reads: "On Reveal: Move the highest-Power enemy card here away. If you can’t, destroy it with a Rock."

For context, the final version of the above mechanic spoiled from the Final Fantasy set.

Individual houses with white walls crossed with darker wood frame, pointed roofs and dormer windows are seen scattered along a hill side with a larger house located at the top of the hill, appearing to be more opulent then the others. The houses are surrounded by tall dark green trees. The town and architecture is reminiscent of a Tudor Revival style Architecture popular in the UK in the late 19th and early 20th century. ---- Jidoor, Aristocratic Capital {4}{U}{U} Land - Town This land enters tapped. {T}: Add {U}. “You’re the spitting image of Maria!” —Jidoor resident Overture Sorcery — Adventure Target opponent mills half their library, rounded down.

Old Sheoldred or new? I think any deck with Shelly as the commander is going to be preserved as a threat though, especially the 4 mana one. Not a deal breaker though.

I like Drana for a combat themed deck, or Kalitas for something more on the control side maybe? Lots of cool options though.
The magic the gathering card "Drana, Liberator of Malakir" from the set Battle for Zendikar from 2015, with art by Mike Bierek. The art depicts a woman in a strong stance. One hand hold a wicked sword, with a twisted and spiked black spine, and shiny blade extended in front of her, commanding a charge. Her other hand holds flickering fire. She is situated within a valley, cliffs covered in trees rise either side of her, and islands float in the sky in the background. She floats several meters in the air, feet pointed downwards. Many warriors charge forward beneath her. --- Drana, Liberator of Malakir {1}{B}{B} Legendary Creature — Vampire Ally 2/3 Flying, first strike Whenever Drana deals combat damage to a player, put a +1/+1 counter on each attacking creature you control. “I will not live as a slave. If you would be free, then fight alongside me.” The Magic the Gathering card "Kalitas, Traitor of Ghet" from the set Oath of the Gatewatch from 2016 with art by Todd Lockwood. The art depicts a male figure with pale skin and red marks across their chest. Black spikes protrude from their shoulders. Their arms are stretch outwards to either side and black rags droop from their upper arms. On their head is a white mask which looks to be made from some kind of skull. --- Kalitas, Traitor of Ghet {2}{B}{B} Legendary Creature — Vampire Warrior 3/4 Lifelink If a nontoken creature an opponent controls would die, instead exile that card and create a 2/2 black Zombie creature token. {2}{B}, Sacrifice another Vampire or Zombie: Put two +1/+1 counters on Kalitas.

I wonder if the nebula has changed shape much in the 100 or so years between the images. A lot of the ribbons and dark spots match up really well if you rotate the image so maybe not.

They look really cool overlapped though.
Image of the Orion Nebula with Otto Boeddicker's work overlaid and lined up on top of it. This uses the multiply blend mode which allows the whites in the artwork to become the background image while the blacks stay. This gives an eerie image which looks almost like a ghost with a small flame for a head, the blues and pinks of the Orion Nebula being altered by the texture of Boeddicker's work. Similar image to the last, but a normal blend mode was used which just averages the pixels between the two images. The darkness around Boeddicker's image shines through with stars from the photograph of the nebula better.

Notably, Germ shows up in the ability of 19 additional cards in the form of "Living weapon" but the word germ only shows up on one card, "Grip of Phyresis".
The Magic the Gathering card Grip of Phyresis, from Commander 2016 (C16) printed in 2016, with art by Lake Hurwitz.

It's a weird one, From the Omo precon deck from MH3 commander I think.

Sees some light Vintage and Legacy play too which is part of why it's not been below 10 dollars before. Hopefully gets a reprint at some point. >.<

I went to a Ravnica themed event as a Selesnya elk recently. I really enjoyed putting the costume together with my partner, so I might look at doing some more #cosplay. Maybe Willow from the Owl House?

Reminds me a lot of Mindless Automaton from Exodus, except you don't need to discard cards to get counters on it.
Also the art has huge Mortal Engines vibes which is amazing.

The top of the cone is replaced by a halfsphere with antennae poking out the top and lightning around. There are several large metal grabby arms coming out of the robot.

The 144 games of magic were how I track my EDH games. My most played and best win rate deck ended up being Teysa, Opulent Oligarch which came out this year. The deck I lost the most on was my Be’lakor deck, which I find surprising, I always feel like I’m doing well but I guess that gets me killed.
The magic the gathering card Teysa, Opulent Oligarch, with a guild frame from the set Murders at Karlov Manor. The magic the gathering card Be’lakor, the Dark Master, with the surge foil effect, from the Warhammer 40,000 set.

I like that the recent anime version has a very similar clothing style, even includes the obligatory boob window.
The Magic the Gathering card Teysa, Orzhov Scion, from Ravnica Remastered in the Anime art treatment by Fuzichoco. The art depicts a woman, Teysa Karlov, dressed in white robes with black cloak and underlayers, and gold trip around the boob window and on the shoulder flair. She is located in a church and looking up past her shoulder we can see a stained glass flower in the middle of the back wall. She wields a staff and has gold coins in her dark hair.

I keep thinking about this tweet and it makes me so sad.

How can one explain that people, even ones you don't know personally, fundamentally matter and deserve to be cared for.
Depicted is a tweet by Henry (@arithmoquine) "Remember when a study in the nature journal deconstructed all of politics and it really just came down to this?" An figure is below the tweet, which is displayed in the next image. The image shows two heatmaps, one labeled "Conservatives" and the other labeled "Liberals". The heatmaps show different levels of moral concern for different groups of people and things. The Conservative heat map shows a high concentration in centre which indicates Extended family, closest friends, or acquaintances as the broadest circle of things who are cared about by the answerer. The following is the caption within the image. The Liberal heat map shows a high concentration nearer the edge around 12-16 which indicates between all animals on earth and all things in the universe as the broadest circle of things who are cared about by the answerer. Fig. 5 Heatmaps indicating highest moral allocation by ideology, Study 3a. Source data are provided as a Source Data file. Note. The highest value on the heatmap scale is 20 units for liberals, and 12 units for conservatives. Moral circle rings, from inner to outer, are described as follows: (1) all of your immediate family, (2) all of your extended family, (3) all of your closest friends, (4) all of your friends (including distant ones), (5) all of your acquaintances, (6) all people you have ever met, (7) all people in your country, (8) all people on your continent, (9) all people on all continents, (10) all mammals, (11) all amphibians, reptiles, mammals, fish, and birds, (12) all animals on earth including paramecia and amoebae, (13) all animals in the universe, including alien lifeforms, (14) all living things in the universe including plants and trees, (15) all natural things in the universe including inert entities such as rocks, (16) all things in existence
