So, we have reached October 31st (happy halloween for every one!), and I think that we had enough creepy rounds by now. Instead of that, we're proposing you a different round for November:
We have been running a survey in the general subforums, wich was conceived to stablish a sub power 9 list (it still being updated, so you're invited to make it grow.) Here are the results:
Your challenge
Take any of the cards in the list above and alter it in any physical way you like (this includes 3d alters, painted alters, scratch/inked/relief alters, etc.) EDIT(11/05): Or you may do a proxy of any of these cards, but you still have to leave some of the original card visible in order to probe it is a magic card.
Your reward
The contest winner determined by poll will be rewarded with a digital trophy above his avatar and announced on mtgsalvation home.
More information, rules and restrictions - please read carefully!
General rules
The work you submit must be something you created for this contest and nothing you pulled from your portfolio.
If you take someone else's artwork as reference, please provide the source.
Keep in mind your entry should be work safe, i.e. no naked boobies or other stuff of that kind
Silent submission: Do not post your work here. Instead send it by pm to both adunakhor and Blackbull. All entries will be revealed when the polls are up.
Deadline for this contest is 31 November.
Contest specific rules
Please, leave some information about wich card you've altered (as it could be: name, cost, partially/entirely original art, P/T, etc.)
The card you choose must be part of the first 9 cards in the ranking (that's why, in order to avoid confusion, we've transcribed the winning cards here, regardless of the survey's link provided.)
EDIT(11/05): In case you decide to make a proxy, it must be a proxy of one of these nine cards.
Addendum
When submitting your entry, please make sure your pic/scan has a width of 300 pixel. If you can`t do it, no problem, but it would help a lot to make entries more comparable.
Breaking news.
There will be no Tibalt, Tamiyo, Tezzeret, Garruk, Chandra, Liliana, mini-Jace, big-Jace, Garruk again, or Sarkhan in Theros either.
There will also be no Black Lotus.
What if we're too poor to actually get any of these cards? Cause all those cards are one's I can't get. Does that mean no contest for me?
Unfortunately, yes.
Tinker and Strip Mine are at $3.99 each at one of the most popular sites (how much's that? The same as a burger combo?) while Sol Ring is at $8. In case you really want to take part of this, I'm sure you'll find a way to trade/buy one of these (I'm pretty sure you have a binder/box, as almost of us do.)
Other options you still have:
*You already have one.
*You can take a comission to alter one of these.
*A friend of you has one of these and you, pretty kindly, offer him/her to alter it for free (cause, you want to take part of the contest beside any kind of profit.)
*Etc.

OK Thanks for the info, I'll seem if anyone's got one of these

If all we need to leave is a bit of information, can we use some skills to do what would in essence be proxying? Like I have a Terror lying around, could I alter it into a Demonic Tutor? This seems to fulfill the requirement of altering and producing an altered p18 card. I don't see how that is very far from what anyone else is doing, and it opens up this contest to those of us who don't have these less-available cards.

That's a valid point. From my point of view I don't see why that would not be ok; and after all this is about altering. Bull, what`s your take?
Well... My first thought was a plain "no way." But then, I thought it would be interesting to have more than a couple of entries per poll. I think I'm going to make this an OK. I'll Add this to the round info right now.
