I found a sealed Mirko deck in my basement. Anyone have any suggestions for cards that might speed it up?
Mirko, Obsessive Theorist - (1)(U)(B) (A vampire using magic to gather information from dozens of books. He is floating mid-air as he casts the spell.) Legendary Creature - Vampire Detective Flying, Vigilance Whenever you surveil, put a +1+1 counter on Mirko, Obsessive Theorist. At the beginning of your end step, you may return target creature card with power less than Mirko's from your graveyard to the battlefield with a finality counter on it. (If it would die, exile it instead.) (1/3)

happy halloween
A proxy of bitter revelation: Bitter Revelation - 3(B) (A vampire-looking Jehovah’s Witness holding up a copy of a Magazine named ‘The Watchtower’, depicting a scene of Armageddon.) Sorcery Look at the top four cards of your library. Put two of them into your hand and the rest into your graveyard. You lose 2 life. "Oh no, this is much worse.”

It has been 14 days since I have cried over Sorin Markov

Nahiri is left handed, but has been shown using stone blades in both of her hands. My favorite headcanon surrounding this is that Sorin, someone who is right-handed, taught her how to fight with her right hand for their duels.

Thinking about how Sorin was called a prince like three times in one Midnight Hunt story and never again-

Bring it back.
He rolls his head as if thinking it over. Then: "It's the Markovs. That prince of theirs, he took it. Did my father say he missed me?"

awesome commission I did for @xantchaslegacy.bsky.social of Anowon showing Nissa his teeth box-
A drawing of Anowon showing Nissa a box of teeth. His face seems to be gleaming with pride, while Nissa’s looks grossed out as she awkwardly fiddles with her hair. The drawing is only lineart, but there are splashes of watercolor that gives the image contrast enough to make the subjects stand out.

this reminds me that about a year ago I did a gift of fangs proxy of Sorin drawing over the same painting Katie referenced here and I wanted to share it!

(Also absolutely go follow Katie right now-)
(Proxy) Gift of Fangs - (B) *A young, vampire Sorin Markov lying in a shallow, plant filled body of water. Flowers are covering his hands, neck, and the back of his head and blood is pouring from his mouth. His eyes are closed, but he looks upset.* Enchantment — Aura Enchant creature Enchanted creature gets +2/+2 as long as it's a Vampire. Otherwise, it gets -2/-2. —— "I never asked for that—" "My dear boy, that is what makes it a gift.”

It has been 7 days since I have cried over Sorin Markov

Despite last night’s post, I do have a fun fact today.

The original Sorin Markov is the only planeswalker (and one of less than a dozen cards) that can give you control over another player’s turn.

He also does not give them a turn back.
Sorin Markov - (B)(B)(B)(3) *Sorin Markov adjusting his glove. He is looking down at the camera with a smile as a bit of blood drips from the corner of his mouth. He is in some sort of cathedral, bathed in green light.* +2: Sorin Markov deals 2 damage to target creature or player and you gain 2 life. -3: Target opponent’s life total becomes 10. -7: You control target player’s next turn. (4)

I know I’ve posted about it before, but imagine being a cathar who survived the wedding, only to be taken to receive medical treatment from this guy in his massive, magically blown up, ancient vampire manor.

crazy.
Sorin Markov in his wedding outfit offering the camera his hand. He is smiling. Left unspoken is that Sorin didn't make the journey with them. He said there were things to which he still needed to attend. Cryptic, as always. She suspected that it wasn't just brooding obfuscation on his part this time. He stayed behind to help them attend to the fallen, to the injured. Anyone who needed long-term support was moving into Markov Manor for a few months. He insisted it was only because he had access to medical texts the others could only dream of. And maybe it was. Or maybe it was something else, and he just didn't want to admit it. Thus—"| have other matters to attend to." Thinking of it does bring a smile to her face. She knew there was a heart in there somewhere.

Play Mythic Bastionland.

It’ll take you like two hours to read all the rules and set up an entire campaign going in completely blind.

It’s $25 and there’s a free copy of all the rules and some starting stuff if you can’t buy it.

It’s so worth it, I promise.

it’s heavily implied throughout the story that they have feelings for each other, and the author said this after the final episode of Vow
(A twitter conversation.) TrevTheTree • 11/25/21 I always got the feeling, but Chandra and Adeline were like into each other throughout the story, right? | K Arsenault Rivera oh absolutely! chandra's definitely got someone waiting for her if she goes back to innistrad

I think I’ve posted about this before, but since @gremlin.world is posting about all of them again I might as well!

I did the Nahiri and Sorin sprites for Grem’s game!

I’m going to be honest guys, I don’t know what happened. I was just yapping about Sorin to @mmoray.bsky.social and @xantchaslegacy.bsky.social over discord and I just started crying about him.

Crazy.

It’s fun to think about how almost every awful and scary plane in the multiverse can draw the origin of their suffering to one key figure or event, whereas Innistrad has just like

It’s just always been like that, dude.
