Phyrexian Praetor Portraits (2022)

This was the first time I experimented with a style similar to Disco Elysium. I always thought the praetors were really interesting characters. It's unfortunate they got so little focus in their final story arc.

Still quite happy with these pieces, although some came out better than others. :)

Outing myself as a Magic the Gathering fan here 🙈

Since my favorite planeswalker Elspeth ascended into angelhood recently in the story (🥳), I HAD to draw her new form this Inktober!

It might be a spoiler but is it a surprise? Poor dumb Lukka.

And Omnath has his last color! Granted it’s diseased and covered in oil, but it still counts.

Battle Basics

So, March of the Machine had its official set debut today on Wizards' youtube channel and we finally know enough about the new Battle card type for me to give you all a basic overview of it.

Disclaimer: We don't have any rules entries or the like for Battles yet, so I'm only going to be covering what I'm sure about so far. If anything I say here is incorrect, I'll be sure to let you all know.

So, what are battles?

Battle is a new card type, like Creature or Instant.

A battle is a permanent. When a battle you cast resolves, it enters the battlefield under your control.

All the battles in March of the Machines have the Siege subtype and are transforming double-faced cards. Future battles might not be Sieges and might not be DFCs, but for now there's only one style of battle.

A battle will enter the battlefield with a number of defense counters on it equal to the number in the square in its lower right corner. Whenever a battle is dealt damage, that many defense counters are removed from it as the result of that damage.

How do you damage a battle? One way is to attack the battle. As a battle resolves, its controller chooses one of their opponents to protect it. (The battle's protector doesn't control the battle, however.) Any player other than the battle's protector can attack it the same way they would a player or planeswalker, and its protector can block creatures that are attacking the battle.

You can also deal direct damage to the battle. Some spells and abilities can deal damage to a battle, and spells and abilities that deal damage to any target can target/damage a battle.

What happens when you win a battle? A battle is defeated when it has no defense counters on it. When a Siege battle is defeated, its controller exiles it and then casts it transformed. It doesn't matter who's responsible for this, and there's no direct benefit to attacking another player's battle.

That's about it for now. I'll add on a follow-up post with more technical details once I know them, but for now I hope this helps you assess the battles you see during spoiler season.

Happy battling!
