To Tekuthal,

I love your miniature praetor figures! I was wondering though, whether Jin-Gitaxias approves of them?

(The Jin-Gitaxias puppet flailing its arms in comedic rage appears to present an empathic no.)

23 and 41 for the mtg ask game?

23. Favorite character?

URABRASK BELOVED!!! He was done so so dirty but imma give him a good life >:(( honorary mention to Ixhel and Vishgraz.

41. What's your opinion on the Reserved List?

Bleh. I think it's bullshit.

Feel free to ignore this, but I just wanted to say, thanks for the reblogs on my writing! It means a lot!

No worries! I'm just on my Phyrexian adoration spree and I wanted to share my undying love of Elesh Norn and card art and I found that it's super cool that you use cards in your writing!

How do you mine for diamonds? Caving, strip mining, exploring Nether fortresses for chest drops?

Primarily caving, plus lucky loot finds in chests.

Strip mining has lost its appeal for me because of its sheer monotony, and I like to think I'm at least decent enough at combat for caving. The biggest issue there is getting lost.

Also, sometimes villagers trade for diamond items! I love that.

To Vorinclex,

Did you ever think about throwing your lot in with Urabrask instead? Seems like his “let them be” mindset falls a lot more in line with your ideal of natural selection than Norn’s iron fist, even if it still isn’t quite as extreme as you might prefer.

URABRASK SEEMS STRONG ENOUGH FOR PREDATION, IF HE EVER CHOSE, BUT HIS FEROCITY HIDES A SOFT HEART. THAT MAKES HIM WEAK.

HE THINKS WE DIDN'T KNOW, ALL THIS TIME, HE HAS BEEN LETTING THE MIRRANS SURVIVE? THAT'S WHAT "LET THEM BE" MEANS. HE SHELTERS THE HELPLESS AND PREVENTS NATURE FROM TAKING ITS COURSE.

NORN IS BEARABLE FOR NOW. AT LEAST SHE DOES MORE FLEXING HER MUSCLES THAN THINKING.

I’ve noticed the designs of Chrome Host Phyrexians feature a lot of extra eyes. Do they ever have to worry about sensory overload, or a Phyrexian equivalent thereof?

Nonsense. My creations are far too well-optimized to experience overload. -J

(He laughs dryly.) Of course that's what he would think. Me? I can tell you this. It blinds me sometimes--all of it. The thoughts. The lights. It's so much harder to shut it all out now. -Jace

[ask-the-praetors]

To Urabrask,

How do you handle discipline in the Furnace? I ask because, I’ve heard that some of your workers have been attacking non-glistener Mirrans despite your orders; primarily, a group spearheaded by a goblin named Slobad. Do you have any intention or desire to put a stop to that?

The denizens of the Furnace do as they will. Though Slobad's actions displease me, I cannot practically interfere. "My" enforcers have their own ideas of discipline, and the thought of correcting them tires me.

Though the day may come when I have no choice.

-U

[ask-the-praetors]

To Glissa: have you gotten to see Slobad much since his compleation? If not, would you like to?

I can't say that I have. Our duties pull us in different directions. He must have been a weak creature even in life, of course, but a part of me misses him anyway.

Of course he would shield himself in artifice. Maybe the goblins were right. He thinks too much for his own good.

Most likely mine are nonsense feelings. The Tangle has no place for sentiment.
