Off topic: Magic: The Gathering

I think I have the reference.



Edit. Wulflist was kind enough to rework the texts and fonts of my previous cards to make them similar to the official rules. Many thanks for that! Therefore, I took the liberty of uploading the 2.0 versions of the cards. (It only changes the text, and I took advantage of the revamp to scale one picture.) All credits go to Wulflist for the changes.

During the process, one of Wulflist's propositions felt different enough from the others to create an other card, so with their permission I present to you the Shapeshifter card. (Plus, there are actual shapeshifters in Magic the Gathering, and they have their own specific ability.)

I can also take advantage of this card to share a fanart I really liked, and which has sadly been lost in the sands of time. It's one of the many "evil doppelganger" pictures using characters from the Fire Emblem series that used to regularly pop up a few years ago, and was even illustrating a fanfic. Said small story still exists ( https://www.deviantart.com/abitcracked/ ... -603048347 ) but the picture has sadly since been deleted.

Credits go to Wulflist for the rule text and archapeladactyl for the art.

Hello everyone. A bit off-topic, and I was tempted to upload it on the General Discussion section, but since I had a dedicated Magic: The Gathering topic I chose to put it here.

It's just a quick funny bit of trivia. Something akin to a "curiosity" I wanted to share with all of you guys.

The official Magic TCG now has a "uniform stealing" card. It's called "Stolen Uniform", in all simplicity. Sadly, it's male-to-male. It's inspired by a scene of the videogame Final Fantasy VI in which the hero has to steal a soldier uniform. I'll be leaving a link for context:

Male-to-male... What were they thinking? Well, that's what my Magic Set Editor is for, so allow me to right the wrongs...

Now, that's better. Nothing much to add. I just thought it was a funny trivia to share. Sometimes, I wonder if there is a proper female-to-female uniform stealing somewhere in the world of card games and tabletop rpgs... (I mean, in official content. Not in fanmade cards or in TTRPG campaigns by USB fans, because I know those are already covered. )

(PS, if anyone knows the artist of the picture I used. I can't remember. It's an old one I saw pop up on pixiv a while ago, but haven't found back yet again.)

Edit: It's しまもと＠skeb始めました。

Good image choice - one of my favorite Pixiv drawings ever. The facial expressions and body language for both women are fantastic, and the whole picture has a fun, mischievous energy to it.

Here's the original Pixiv link.
