At this point, there should be no guessing as to today’s mosaic. As the last of the Eldar Dragon Legends, this one reminds me of a lot of old red dragons (and a little of Dragon Whelp), it’s Vaevictis Asmadi!

Whenever I think of dragons, three attributes come to mind: big, flying, and trample. However, there are only seven such dragons in all of magic (yes, I’m putting a lower bound on what I call big – I’ll let you try to figure out what that is), but today’s elder dragon has all of those attributes: Palladia-Mors.

As you can probably guess from the title of this post, I’ve gone full-fledged into an Elder Dragon Legend series! Now, you can argue whether I’m really allowed to have a series this early in to posting, but that doesn’t mean I’ll acknowledge such arguments. Today’s Elder Dragon Legend reminds me of the classic color wheel in a big way: Chromium.

Last week I talked about Arcades Sabboth – the general I would have used if I played EDH 15 years ago in my hayday of Magic playing. Today, I thought it would be worth mentioning who I would be most likely to pick if I were to build an EDH deck today: Nicol Bolas.

If I were to build a EDH deck 15 years ago when I started playing Magic: The Gathering (not that there was such a thing as EDH back in the day, but bear with me), I would have used this card as my general: Arcades Sabboth.

This week’s card is one that I knew would make a great mosaic from the moment it showed up on magicthegathering.com as a preview card (and a Mythic Rare) for Shards of Alara: Mayael the Anima.
The very distinct colors and and sharp edges make this piece particularly good for a mosaic, and the beautiful art is total icing on the cake!

In an attempt to both do more photomosaics and to post more often, I am going to try to do a different photomosaic every week. Comments will definitely help keep this going, as well as ideas for new cards to do. To avoid slowing my main page (and rss feed) to a crawl, you’ll have to click through to get the mosaic.
This week’s card is a card whose art made me go “whoa” when I first saw it, Mana Cylix.
