Beautiful.Īnyway, Opalescence provides a pretty good segue into talking about the artist behind the milky figures: John Avon. Before your Illusions of Grandeur may have just gained you life, but here it is growing arms and legs to walk across the board and punch your opponent in the face. These iridescent figures are the physical embodiment of a concept, they are literally taking human form in the art box. John Avon really captured the metamorphosis of an enchantment, a bodiless notion, into a physical being. It seemed like one day I was playing Opalescence and thinking only of the ensuing rules clusterfuck I was about to unleash on my EDH group and then the next I was admiring the art. I’m not sure when I became interested in Magic art. If you’re wondering what my plans are for the weekend, here they are, a brief and non-definitive guide for the non-Legacy player at GP New Jersey. No obsessing over the 7-2 record, agonizing over a draw, or navigating the oceans of people between the pairings board and my seat. It’s not that I don’t want to play Burn or Manaless Dredge (but for the record I would never play either of these decks), no I’m excited to go to the GP and not have the stress of playing in the main event. I have had offers from well meaning friends offering to lend me their decks but I have declined all of them. The only thing is that I don’t have a Legacy deck. This GP will be the largest Legacy event of all time and I will be making the five hour drive from Boston to be there. As of me writing this article, there are 2230 Magic players signed up for GP New Jersey.
