A while back, we started looking for some people to help GobO_Mastergear out in the Magic Duels forum, and after a long search and vetting process, we have our final choice--everybody, please welcome our new Duels moderator: GobO_Stasis!

Stasis will be assisting Mastergear in moderating the Magic Duels area, and in addition to their assistance we'll be keeping an eye on things to see if even more help is needed.

Not the stasis I expected.
I am disappointed you are not a clown and wolf on a see saw.

Indeed. I hate the card, but Stasis is pretty.

Obviously, David Bowie from the Ashes to Ashes music video is painting on a teeter-totter at night with a blindfolded coyote who is playing with a ball of yarn.

Now, as we know from Native American traditional tales, coyote is the trickster. A yarn is another term from a fabricated story, and the moon is in the background to reference Bowie's song Space Oddity. The Trickster is blindfolded as a reference to Justice (which is blind). So, the trickster justice system is spinning a yarn to keep Major Tom occupied (or in Stasis) so that the government could cover up his disappearance. Little do they know that they wouldn't have needed to, since he was more interested in his artistic endeavors, represented by the painter's palette.

So he have, on one side, the lost artisan, and on the other, the conniving bureaucracy, and the only way for the two opposing concepts to stay balanced is by an utter lack of progress, signified by the inability to untap.

The art was obviously made by someone with little grasp on what MTG was. Fair enough I suppose, since WOTC didn't really have its act together back in the Alpha times. The art description probably just read, "a picture representing a state of stasis" or something.

Also, your art critiques all fail to address the light blue patch in the sky. Obviously this is the light of day, which represents the knowledge and civilization the man figure brings.
It is counterbalanced (literally) by the bestial trickster god of archaic myth who wishes to keep man bound in ignorance (the blindfold). To do this he uses means both binding and restrictive and warm and comforting, here the yarn, which represents the comfort of familiar falsehoods (as was pointed out earlier, stories are sometimes called yarns).
The two figures' positions on the see-saw represent the relative status of the two figures in modern life; in the eyes of the artist, mankind is only halfway to enlightenment. The two forms of story-figure, still fighting for the soul of mankind.
The piece's sense of whimsy clearly is meant as commentary on how modern scholars and the populace at large have trouble addressing the issue seriously.
Geez guys, it was kind of obvious.


Also, welcome and good luck Gobo.

Thanks for the welcome everyone!

Barinellos, I thought someone else was already using the other Stasis for their image. I might be wrong about that. I'd certainly prefer to use that image.

I think I'll use this for now.

He said he was pulling back from the site

Sorry for hijacking the thread, but did he say why? I (and a few other users) can't even find him in our Steam friend lists. Did he make some dramatic exit from the NGA scene?

wow, you're right.
I knew he disappeared from NGA, but I wasn't aware he removed me as steam friend.
S_E has removed me as well, apparently.

No, it wasn't a dramatic exit. He said, if I remember correctly, that he realized he was spending too much time and energy here and decided to step back.
