Sorry for the delay, folks! It's been a busy week for me and I had to invest some time and dig deep into the old days of this forum to find a reference for this month's contest.
May will be all about an old classic, not to say a legend: Paint and Present! :awesome::hannibal:
Some of you may still remember this informal contest we had a few years ago, it was good fun and found a lot of love. Not sure why we haven't seen it for such a long time.
The basic idea is that everyone alters the same card in any way he or she likes. In the end we will get a bunch of altered versions of the same card and everyone can compare the creativity you guys brought into this. Some examples: Dark Ritual, Relic of Progenitus As you can see, these are from the older days of the community
It is tough to pick a good card for this though, because it has to be easily accessible to participants and be viable enough for play to alter it. Widely popular cards are usually either too expensive or have seen so many alterations that they would be a boring suggestion. I gave some thought to this and decided to go for a common card from Dragon's Maze that seems to have the potential to see play.
