Sketchtober - Day 25

I was waiting for day 25! It’s a slime monster, so I drew my favourite card from Magic the Gathering: Gelectrode.

Anything on the lovely Gelectrode?

Weirds exist only on Ravnica. They’re artificial elementals created by the Izzet by fusing and animating conflicting elements. 

As Trivaz says in the flavor text on this card, Weirds are “diametrically opposing energies in self-sealed plasmodermic bubbles”.

My playgroup rarely does EDH, so my Commander decks are pretty casual. I haven’t put that much thought or money into building the awesome combo decks I hear about, but I have 2 decks: Medomai the Ageless, and Jhiora of the Ghitu. I have a soft spot in my heart for Medomai, so I usually end up playing that deck. One time while we were playing, I lent my Jhiora deck to a buddy and he puts out Jhiora turn three, then turn four suspends Omniscience and Warstorm Surge. By the time four turns go by all he has on board is a Gelectrode. He drops curiousity onto Gelectrode, and then proceeds to take the longest, and most epic turn ever. He ended up dealing over 180 damage, with several more cards left to cast, and an extra turn saved up that he didn’t even need.

-And this, my friends and followers, is why Izzet can be explosively terrifying.
