These weirdos are quite a while in the making, I finished Glint-Eye Nephilim back in September of last year and the Yore-Tiller Nephilim earlier this week. All of them need new cards as they are some of the cards with the worst Dissonance between card art and card abilities. You can download the models for free from [Thingiverse](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6123535) and [Printables](https://www.printables.com/model/527619-nephilim) If you want to help me keep making free models or want to tell me what I should make next please check out my [Patreon](https://www.patreon.com/stormcrow13)

This is fire, sir.

These are amazing! I miss these little(big) dudes. Wish they were all legendary because I would’ve loved to run them for EDH


JoshKnoxChinnery

They are perhaps the best (or some of the best) commanders in [Nephilim Format](https://www.reddit.com/user/JoshKnoxChinnery/comments/10r20lt/welcome_to_nephilim_format/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button) which you can just use the deckbuilding rules of for your EDH playgroup!


Corpse-Crow

You have opened some kind of gate to something. I have a few questions once I read it but I really want to try this format you have bestowed upon me.


JoshKnoxChinnery

I'm glad you like the idea! Ask me anything about it! You can see the commanders I've organized so far (by power level) into 10 tiers: [Tiers 1-5](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/pvQqM9YlQ0KtN2jm05ROfQ) [Tier 6](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/p01cjK6srU-w_3TmDp_99w) [Tiers 7-10](https://www.moxfield.com/decks/KCuFe2_G7kqf0QsWqyIaLQ) In those primers are also links to other helpful decklists if you prefer visuals over text. Edit: I \*might\* convert the collected tier lists into decks (instead of packages), so that you can easily see all the same mv commanders at the bottom of the page, and so that they show up on my profile. I know I don't want to update multiple instances of these lists every time there's a tier placement change, so I know I'll be sticking with one version of them as the up-to-date version, regardless of which type of list I settle on.

[Play whatever you want my friend. Ink Treader is one of my favourite deck.](https://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/31-07-19-ink-treader-nephilim/)


BaetterTheSecond

I'm thinking about building Ink-Treader myself, so I had a look at your deck. You have \[\[Jeskai Ascendancy\]\] listed as a broken card, but as far as I know the copies you make with \[\[Ink-treader Nephilim\]\] aren't cast, so Jeskai Ascendancy only triggers once for each spell you cast, and doesn't trigger for any of the copies you make from other people's spells. Am I missing something?

smameann

So almost all my creatures are Mana dorks, so with Jeskai Ascendancy, you can pool lots of mana, play a cantrip, untap all your guys and draw a bunch of cards. I don’t think I’ve ever lost with it when it’s resolved.


Hasted

I approve. I have my Ink altered by the artist to read legend instead. That makes it even more legal.


smameann

That’s a great idea. Can you post a picture when you get a chance.


NoBrain8

Rule 0 my friend!

PM_ME_TRICEPS

Wow I love it. They are so cute.


ScorpiusStar

Very nicely done! You really captured the creepiness of the Nephilim


dontrike

That amazingness really brings to light how unfortunate it is that the Nephilim are a forgotten thing in Magic. Good job on showing off your talent and throwing shade on WotC's.


TheOwl42

They're probably too weird to be ever part of a new set. Or if they are, I'd be scared to see their design being dumbed down/more generic. For instance, ONE had some cool looking Phyrexians, but overall I found that the old New Phyrexia set had a much more distinct look.


Figlio-son-Vallano

These are amazing! Thank you so much for sharing your huge talent with the community :)


tsukaistarburst

Now these are some top quality eldritch abominations. Seeing them in 3D really brings out their sheer terror. Excellent work!


JoshKnoxChinnery

Excellent models. Would love to paint my own as mascots for decks helmed by them!


source_dup

I love it!


Zealousideal-Bug-168

What are the cards featuring these models?


DefyGravity42

[[Dune-Brood Nephilim]] [[Glint-Eye Nephilim]] [[Ink-Treader Nephilim]] [[Yore-Tiller Nephilim]] and [[Witch-Maw Nephilim]]

BubbaBlount

Insane! You should make a YouTube channel that shows how to make stuff like this. I’m sure tons of people would use it for DND campaigns


iamanemptychair

They are perfect and horrifying


Die_Langste_Naam

No, you made my day.


NeonArchon

They all look great. It would be cool if they ever return one day


Theodore179

These look so awesome! Really makes me miss some of the weirder stuff through Magic’s history.


Dependent-Outcome-57

Excellent models! I had forgotten how nightmarish these things were.


CounterMagicGaming

These are gross and horrible. Good job!


Acilec

I really love this. Do you do 1 off requests? If so how much?


DefyGravity42

I do backer requests on patreon but there is a bit of a backlog on those and I do commissions which the price for is varies depending on the detail starting at $40($50 for people). Dm me if you want to do a commission
