Meditate (2017)
Learning the ropes
I had a hiatus from Magic, from Conspiracy to Amonkhet, roughly 3 years. I had been on hiatus from events for a few years more. So, when I jumped back aboard on both fronts after Amonkhhet’s release in 2017, the landscape had changed a lot. One way was that artists were now producing token cards of standard in-game creatures and such, to augment the ones produced for the game, which sometimes were few in number, few in variety, or non-existent.
But this was a realm that I was not familiar with, and I had not played much Magic in the prior 10 years, so I was out of touch. A couple of folks kindly guided me into this, including the commissioner for this Monk token.
I did a few such, and also had some now to take with me to events, where I learned more about this niche product category. Before very long, I understood I could and should be producing these on my own, and so I did, and since then have produced coming up on 100 different ones. I was able to double-dip on this one, and the study I produced was made available on Every Day Original.
