MTGinktober is on the move to Day 10, "Nomadic," starring Ayli, Eternal Pilgrim and Go-Shintai of Hidden Cruelty!

Ok, it really feels like we've been drawing the same prompt like three days in a row...can we maybe get a little innovative in traveling-people prompts, Jake?  Anyway, a great excuse to draw Ayli and Hidden Cruelty both at last, but I gotta be real, I'm a bit disappointed at the lack of variety in prompts this year.  A couple years ago we even straight-up had duplicates (though some were from the terrible official MTG list that one year they ran one), forget about variations in a word.

Fun Facts:  This is both their debuts, but in the Shrine department, I've drawn Sanctum of Calm Waters for Sparkle, and Sanctum of Fruitful Harvest for Fuzzy Woods, so were slowly collecting 'em all.  This is the first piece this year that really feels a bit undercooked, as I'd like to give it about another hour, but time was short.  This occurring 10 days in is pretty good, though--I've been keeping pace, staving off strain and exhaustion, so I'm generally feeling okay so far, and hope to continue pressing on.

Easter Eggs:  Gotta get the swooshy B (ß) in any Algen piece, this time in the Go-Shintai's torn fabric.  And then we also have Sanctum of Stone Fangs and of course Nomad Outpost for background support, plus the spirit objects of Go-Shintai of Shared Purpose to tie the cards together mechanically, since Ayli and Hidden Cruelty could really pop off with and active Shared Purpose--how thematic.
