We present the first Mexican Pleistocene record of Anolis and Storeria, the third fossil record of the alligator lizard Barisia sp. In this study, we describe the fossil record of squamate reptiles from the Pleistocene of San José Buenavista (Puebla, Mexico), and the taphonomic relationship between them and the associated megafauna, as well as reconstruct the paleoclimate of the paleontological site in Central Mexico where the remains were found. Pleistocene reptiles have been used as a proxy for qualitative paleoclimatic reconstructions of localities. Taphonomic studies in Pleistocene reptiles are focused on finding out the origin of the paleontological remains that is, if the remains found at a particular place correspond to organisms that lived and died there or if they were carried out and deposited there by water currents or predators. However, reptile fossil records of Pleistocene from Latin America are scarce and limited to presence data associated with records of megafauna remains. Records of Pleistocene reptiles are relatively well known in different countries.

While our main goal today is to compare Commander 2019 to itself, it is worth mentioning that the least valuable deck in Commander 2019 is worth more than the most valuable Commander 2018 deck was a few days after it was spoiled last year.īack to the decks, they basically break down into two tiers, with the Rakdos and Naya decks being the lower-value decks (although again, still more valuable than any decks we had last year and still worth their $40-ish price tag), while Sultai and Jeskai are the high-value decks. Second, despite some complaints from the community, the value of Commander 2019 is actually quite solid. In reality, that plan is unlikely to work. Prices should drop across the board by the time the decks are actually released, so don't assume that you can buy one of the Commander 2019 decks for $40 and immediately resell it for over $100. Take a gander at the decklists, and then we'll jump into the rankings!Ī couple of important notes: first, since we're still in the preorder period for Commander 2019, prices for many of the cards in the set are inflated. Then, after going through all 10 categories, we can tally up the scores and see which Commander 2019 deck really is the best! Oh yeah, one last thing: for the rest of the article, rather than calling the decks by their proper names, we'll be going with their themes and color combinations, which are shorter and easier to type (as a refresher, Sultai Morph is Faceless Menace, headed by Kadena, Slinking Sorcerer Jeskai Flashback is Mystic Intellect, with Sevinne, the Chronoclasm as the face commander Naya Populate is Primal Genesis, led by Ghired, Conclave Exile and Rakdos Madness refers to the Merciless Rage deck, with Anje Falkenrath out front). A first-place ranking gives a deck four points, with second in a category being worth three, third two, and last just a single point. Instead, we'll turn to 10 categories and rank each Commander 2019 deck from first to worst. If you only have $40 in your Magic budget, which deck should you buy? For this, we'll try to be as objective as possible-while the madness deck is my personal favorite since it has some really interesting legends and draws a lot of cards in a weirdly synergistic way, thanks to the madness mechanic and the various payoffs for discarding cards, drawing a lot of cards isn't a very good criterion for ranking the decks. ![]() While everyone could just buy every Commander 2019 deck in Magical Christmas Land, considering that the decks are selling for $40 to $45, not everyone has the extra money laying around to spend on cardboard, no matter how sweet they may be. ![]() Whether expecting high-end reprints in Commander decks is reasonable is a conversation for another day because today, rather than trying to place Commander 2019 into the context of past Commander releases, our goal today is simple: to figure out which Commander 2019 deck is best. While this year's edition seems to be better received than last year's, some players still seem to have lingering doubts about whether or not the decks contain enough reprint value, mostly based on the lack of high-end cards. We got the full spoiler and complete deck lists for Commander 2019 last week, and the lists are overflowing with sweet new cards and spicy legends to use in the command zone. ![]() ![]() Keep the Blending Mode set to Color, and adjust the gradient using the Gradient Tool (G). Using the same method as before, overlay the pride rainbow gradient over the top of the portrait. Step 3Īlternatively, you can use a radial gradient to adjust your gradient overlay in Adobe Illustrator. Once you're done, go to the Transparency panel ( Window > Transparency) and set the Blending Mode to Color to easily create a gradient overlay in Adobe Illustrator. Fill this shape with your rainbow gradient and use the Gradient Tool (G) to create a diagonal gradient overlapping the skin, as shown in the following image. Hide the radial gradient from the background and then create a new rectangle on top of the portrait. First, you could create a linear gradient over this portrait: Create a Summer Portrait From a Stock Image in Adobe Illustrator. Let's explore some other examples of how to apply a rainbow gradient in Illustrator. You can change the direction of the gradient using Gradient Tool (G) from your toolbar or by adjusting the gradient angle from the Gradient panel. Now that you have your gradient, you can apply it to your artwork however you wish. How to Apply a Rainbow Gradient in Adobe Illustrator Step 1 You can rename the gradient by double-clicking on it and entering a new name in the pop-up window. Once you're done, you can drag the gradient thumbnail from the Gradient panel or the fill color from the toolbar, and drop it into the Swatches panel to easily save your rainbow gradient. To change the colors, drag and drop each color from the 'Brights' palette onto the gradient sliders.Īlternatively, you can select each gradient color stop, hold down the Alt key, and click the corresponding color from your 'Brights' palette. ![]() The only problem is that this is not the right combination of colors, so you need to modify the gradient. Focus on the color settings from the toolbar, remove the stroke color and select the fill, and then click the 'Spectrum' rainbow swatch from your Swatches panel to fill your shape with a rainbow gradient.įocus on the Gradient panel ( Window > Gradient) and you'll see that the gradient is made up of six colors, the perfect number we need for our pride rainbow. Use the Rectangle Tool (M) from your toolbar to create a rectangle. How to Modify the Rainbow Gradient Colors Step 1 Step 2Ĭlick the 'Spectrum' rainbow swatch from the Spectrums panel and the 'Brights' color group from the Print panel to easily add them in the Swatches panel. This will open another panel which comes with a six-color rainbow gradient named 'Spectrum'. Re-open the fly-out menu from the Swatches panel and this time go to Open Swatch Library > Gradients > Spectrums. We'll use these LGBT color codes to create the Illustrator rainbow gradient. This will open a new panel which comes with a group of six colors. Open the fly-out menu from the Swatches panel and go to Open Swatch Library > Default Swatches > Print. The first thing you need to do is to add the six colors that make up the pride color palette to your Swatches panel, so they can eventually be added to a gradient. You can read up on the history of the pride flag on Wikipedia-it's rather interesting. The six colors that make up the pride color palette are: The pride rainbow is made up of six colors, each color representing a different meaning.
