I'm really glad they didn't stick with that original casting cost method. That would have been so confusing. And I know plenty of players that would have trouble doing the basic math it required. Sad, but true.

Aether Revolt was a revolting pre-release. As if Vehicles weren't frustrating enough, now you don't even have to crew them.
Hey Holy Proxy Batman, is your dropbox gallery down or is my link wrong...I was looking through it this past weekend but now it 404s. Thank you for maintaining it btw.

@Everyone: PLEASE, you should read the rules carefully before posting. ANY kind of talk about proxying is PROHIBITED, even if it's about sources of material. The users that were suspended here were talking about such sources as sources for proxying instead of sharing those sources as digital rendering sources. Apologia of proxying is as illegal as proxying itself.
A guy in this facebook group (who's from my city and his name is Gonzalo L.) is selling proxies there, using images of many of us. I've reported his post and explained him such activity is illegal. In case any of you is being affected by this (there are even handpainted alters of mine!) feel free to report his post as well.

Where does it mention anything about sources? These refer explicitly and solely to techniques.
As the renders here can potentially be used by unscrupulous parties to create what WotC defines to be counterfeits, we insist users to abide by these rules:
This thread is for high-quality work, please leave MSE work aside.
All renders must be hosted off-site. Non-compliant posts will be moderated & the render removed.
Renders may not be exact or near reproductions of actual WotC product.
NO discussion of printing or proxying techniques. This thread is concerned only with the manipulation of digital imagery. The staff of MTGS does not condone counterfeiting & will not have the community put at risk over this.
Proper artist credit must be given, in line with the Artwork Artist Credit rules.
Renders must display the standard WotC copyright as found on official product, in line with the Artwork copyright rules.
Renders must display the text NOT FOR SALE, preferably below the copyright line.
Posts will be moderated for content in line with the Artwork forum spam rules.
Users of this thread are expected to report violations of these rules. Contributing to the thread while failing to report ongoing transgressions that put this site at risk may result in moderation of the active users.
The verbiage used is what caused this? The fact that "digital render" and "proxy" are synonymous means nothing? Had they said "I'm looking for the digital renders gallery of X" you'd have not swung the ban hammer?
If this is the direction this is going from here on, then I shan't be participating and I suggest you close and lock this thread.

Proxies
Proxies are substitute cards created solely by judges in sanctioned tournaments pursuant to the official tournament rules. These substitutes are allowed when authorized game cards become unplayable during a sanctioned tournament because of damage or excessive wear. Proxies do not include any graphical reproduction of their intended substitutes.
Counterfeits
Counterfeits are copies or reproductions of actual Wizards trading cards, whether or not they are identified as non-genuine. The creation and distribution of counterfeits violate United States and international copyright laws and negatively affects the integrity of Wizards’ trading card games. Counterfeits are strictly prohibited, even for personal, non-commercial use.
So no, "digital render" and "proxy" aren't synonymous. Such text is part of the rules users should abide to while posting. What these users were talking about is counterfeits, by calling them "proxies". They were talking about sources for creating counterfeits, not for sharing digital imagery (digital image =/= counterfeit, wrongly called "proxy").
So, we want to abide by WotC's policies and we need to do so in order to be able to keep this thread legal and give you space for sharing your production. We are not here to tell people what to do with those images. Still, we can't allow poeple to make apologia of illegal activity. In the end, while sharing digital renders is fine, talking publicly about using it for counterfeiting isn't.
I do not see the reason of you having to leave or us needing to close this thread, since you and many other have been sharing renders for a long time without messing with the rules.
People Are discussing, don't catch on semantics! Techniques and proxy selling can't be the part of forum ... Fine! I condone that ... Because of misuse. But someone's Dropbox gallery link can't be the grounds for suspensions or banning.
Stop acting like Stalin please! This is becoming ridiculous!
I can understand zealous ... But this is just plane smothering over semantics!
Chill!
PS: Ban my ass if I said something wrong. I just wonder.
Galspanic reversed the suspension and turned it into just an infraction, so lets all but that little hiccup behind us.
In other news, anyone know how to get that awesome dropbox link with the library of digital renders working?
You'll have to contact the owner of the dropbox to fix it. My guess is that they either deleted the folders or moved them out of the dropbox on their computer. Either way, unless the owner puts it back the way that it was, it's gone. Unless you were smart enough to download the entire thing for your own use.
Apparently my last post and the response to it got removed. Not really sure why as it didn't violate any rules. And of course, there was no PM from a mod explaining why it disappeared. So I'll repost the DIGITAL RENDER that I posted last time.

It was deleted because I asked you to stop talking about the recent infractions here and you didn't stop - needed to get in that last little dig. I could have done something more extreme, but I assumed you would know why it was deleted.
Is it possible to do a BoB on every planeswalker so far? I've seen your work and it's unbelievable. It may be early days (considering the number of renders you put up) but I feel that we're witnessing a legend in the making. Especially in BoB, you're a true master. =) I hope I'm not the only one feeling this way.
Just got to say, you've definitely earned distinction as an MTGS hero
Quote from Stardust »
Because he's the hero MTGS deserves, and the one it needs right now. So we'll global him. Because he can take it. Because he's not just our hero. He's a silent guardian, a watchful protector. An expired rascal.

ExpiredRascals you sir are a god-like hero.

Thanks for the compliments...I had to take a break from the BoB's just because they are really time consuming..The bitmap to vector conversions require me to redraw a large portion of the art. I will go back to them (especially when we see the BOTG Gods). If there's a specific one you are looking for I can be sure to try to get to it.

Link removed, infraction issued. -BBull
I used that link all the time, sad day if it's gone.
Link removed, infraction issued. -BBull
This is the one I was talking about, I thought this was yours HPB. It was working this past weekend but now it is gone
Link removed, infraction issued. -BBull
The best proxy source this side of Venus. All your dropboxes are moot.
As you've been warned in the recent past, the promotion of proxying is an illegal activity. Link removed, infraction issued. -BBull
