[thread=1306]WOTC IS REPRINTING THE ORIGINAL DUALS IN TENTH!!!!![/thread]
My Decks- Standard: GWB Glarescape, RWBg Searing Burial. Extended: none. Legacy: none. Vintage: none. Spoiler:
However, it could easily be a quick copy and paste job and, honestly, I wouldn't put this past Wizards to shake up the format and to beat modo to the punch.

Just for kicks and more for my own curiosity, I photoshopped the image and put it in a card frame to see how it would look as a real card. Please keep in mind that this card image is just a mockup and isn't real, though the alternate art is commissoned by Wizard.
I really think instead of giving out the art as a prize they should just go ahead and print a single copy for the winner of an actual card (Tourney legal for vintage of course).
That wouldn't violate the reserved list, since the reserved list rules specifically state they are permitted to create special prize type cards and what have you, and it would just make the prize far, far cooler.
Since really, just getting an original piece of art from an existing magic artist is a really weak prize compared to the prize structure of other flagship events.
Im sorry making one copy is silly. They have done that in the past and it usually ends up with the guy selling it for 5000 bucks. The 1996 world champion card sold for near that to a collector. I don't think they want everyone fighting over a victory just to pawn off the card for half a cheap car.
Well making it an actual card makes it even more valuable to collectors. Those crazy collectors that have a copy of everything and have the money to seriously make large offers.
About making the other moxes art im sure if this is indeed for the T1 casual competition there will be more to follow.

Yeah but that wasn't a tourney legal card. So it has no use other then A.) Keep it on a shelf for sentimental value, or B.) selling it. Actually getting to play with your prize seems like a reasonable motivation for some folks to keep it (and the exact reason others might be more inclined to sell it).
But either way, who cares? Do you get upset when a pro tour winner cashes their prize check? Then why is it so bad if a winner decides to cash in on their e-bay intermediated prize check?
in todays world of fast money and faster losess, you can sell any thing... and someone will buy it for lots of $$$,
i know this sounds dumb but if the winner went and won a card for of that, the next time he played it alot of people would ask him about it making the potencial match/tournament s/he would be in loose alot of time...
or s/he wouldn't be able to play it for some reason...
idk... it could happen..
also, if it was in card form, you couln't see all the cool detail... and that wouldn't be as cool...awsome art, so small, most of the art is under-preiciated, therfor, not as awsome....

Why would anyone want this anyway?? The old ones look ALOT better than the new crappy artifact border. I still don't know why wizards had to change the card face. A few minor updates maybe like making the power/toughness bigger but I'm still pissed off alot about it.

Ummm... What are you even talking about? This thread is about a painting, not a card. Seriously, read the thread next time instead of just skimming through.
I did read the thread I was referring to why anyone would want an updated card face mox pearl because it's going to look like crap as do most newer magic cards.
If anyone knows why G0-DRAW was banned I would love it if they would PM me. That guy was pure entertainment 100% of the time. Plus he never publicly responded to his Contraptions "Proof" that never panned out.
Heres my rendition of what it could look like in the new template in a brown instead of silver.
I wish they would give better one of a kind prizes than the art, sure it looks nice and all but I know I would not have anything to do with it if I were to ever win such a prize

hmm... I still prefer the pre-8th ed. templates :x
As for the artwork prize, I agree with what some said that its kinda "useless"(dont take this statement out of context people!) that its not on a card, making it somewhat "pointless"(again, dont do it).
Thats like saying "hey, heres a dodge viper turbocharged engine that can be used for a viper(not included)"
Yes, its a horrible analogy and not everyone will agree, but still.....:no: (imo)

Hang on, I need my gibber-to-english dictionary. Ah yes, here it is,
I would love to have that hanging on my wall. Some of the art on the cards they print is beautiful. I'm just not willing to pay the prices people have wanted before.

That looks nice, great work man.

EXTENDO SIG!!!
The card you saw is a fake made by the person that posted to see what it looked like.
The artwork is going to be a prize at a tourny. Its just the artwork, in a frame. NO CARD. Just the painting.
Get it?
QFT!
