Another day of no comments (or views for that matter) has come and gone, so it is once again time for me to pick a new Futurama Card-a-Day. Decided to go with Bender today and comments or suggestions are still welcome!

There were no suggestions made for today’s Card-a-Day, so I went with Dr. Zoidberg. Comments and suggestions are welcome as usual!

Decided to start sharing one Futurama themed Magic card every day as a sort of ‘Card-a-Day’ thing. Feel free to make suggestions for tomorrow’s card in the comments!

Thanks go out to one of my friends for reminding me of the existence of this beautiful song:

I am still missing a few of the rarer cards in Standard (although not the most expensive ones), but here is a look at my current non-foil “Power 9″ (the nine most expensive cards in my collection):

Oh dear, it looks like I was starting to fall back onto my old routine of hardly ever updating my blog. I have been a bit busy taking care of some real-life business (some fun, some less-than-fun) and my attempts at creating a Futurama Magic card set have also been keeping me busy. Not to mention that I moved my “main” PC downstairs to where I can use it, so I have actually been playing video games again! But I will try to keep “you folks” up-to-date more from now on.

LOL! For some reason I keep rethinking my approach to making these Futurama Magic cards. Doing it season by season sounded like a good idea, but the sheer amount of stuff that is worthy of being turned into a card was starting to make even that pretty much impossible. So instead I am going to make a base set of 250 cards that will consist of the characters, items and events that prove to be the most popular (this is going to involve a number of polls both here and on Facebook). Not really sure yet how to solve the colour-assignment problem (I want to have an even distribution of cards amongst the different colours), but we will cross that bridge when we come to it.

I think it is quite funny how vegans tend to be dicks about non-vegans WAY more often than the other way around. Hell, some of them do not even like to associate with vegetarians because they are not “hardcore” enough.

Just finished making a list of possible Magic cards for Futurama season 1 and the grand total (for creatures, artifacts, lands and tokens) currently stands at 208 cards. There might be a few extra cards added once I cross-reference my list with other Futurama wikis and I will try to add a bunch of enchantments, instants and sorceries as well. So the total season 1 set should come in at somewhere between 250 and 300 cards.

I went for another rethink of my approach to making a Futurama set for Magic: the Gathering. I created an Access database in which I am gathering each character, item and location I come across (episode by episode, season by season). After all listed (I am using The Infosphere as a reference tool) possible cards have been gathered for season 1 I will start on assigning colours for the different cards. And after that comes the filling out of the actual rules. I tried doing everything at once (card by card), but I found this lead to a lot of repetitive rules on different cards, not to mention frequent rewrites.
