Well, this ends this debate. Everyone has opinions and nothing can change the sad reality that is this list I have just posted.
Elyxr already tried this argument and it just ended up in a bunch of flaming and infractions... I don't think that was the point of this thread.
I'd actually argue that Garm, Arcturus' previous vocalist, is way better. I think a better case would have been ICS' work in Borknagar (Which I think is better than when he was with Arcturus), but Garm overshadows him there as well. Regardless of who's better, there's a lot worse you can do than ICS Vortex.
I thought that Garm was a better fit for Arcturus at first; however, Sideshow Symphonies grew on me fast. If it wasn't for Vortexes vocal range I would say Garm would be equal.
I actually agree with this in general. Their bassist makes me sick, it is extremely repetitive throughout every album. But I can't discount that they have produced a few really good songs, Rational Gaze being one of them.
Here are the top 10 most listened to songs on my itunes (encompasses several genres). This doesn't mean they are my personal favorites, but here they are:
1. Arcturus -Demon Painter Best metal vocalist there is, IMO. ICS Vortexes vocal range is incredible.
2. Eisbrecher - Kann den liebe Sunde sein I am a big fan of German music and the language. Here is a relatively newer song from Eisbrecher.
3. Unheilig - Herz aus Eis More "pop" like, but still a great song.
4. System of a Down - Attack Not a band I listen to often. It must have been a phase. Still a good band.
5. Meshuggah - Rational Gaze How is it that Meshuggah was not mentioned yet with all the metal heads here?
6. Многоточие - Убей Барыгу! Hip hop... Am I the only one here that branches outside of English music?
7. Grandaddy - Now it's on Good band, a little monotonous.
8. Би-2 - Bowie Russian pop band. Very good music if you like pop.
9. Ruoska - Alasin Finish NDH band. One of their better songs.
10. Dark Tranquillity - On Your Time My Favorite DT song from my favorite DT album.
If they are using the likeness of a MTG card including all the things that WotC has copyrights on such as the frame, text box, mana symbols, MTG logo et, or art that is not thiers to sell such as every art printed on a MTG card, then they are counterfitting and can be fined, sued et.
Go read all about it in the artwork forums below. They will all tell you that these products are for personal use. Now if your friends want to provide materials and have you print a few, or compensate you for materials I don't think anyone will hunt you down, but selling someone elses intelectual property on a public forum like eBay without licence is bad.
It is as I thought then. But back to my other question.. Is it worth my, or anyone's effort to report the items that cannot be passed as real cards, such as foil power 9?
I always report items that can be passed as real, I am really not OK with people selling those and getting away with it.
by drawing on a card? So artist signed cards and alterations are illegal? So printing off proxies and selling them to your friends or others because you supplied the products is illegal? So because they not legal in tournaments, why would Wizards care? So you think that it is still going on since a year or more back because its illegal?
Pick one.
I think you missed interpreted what I meant by foil proxy. I am talking about the proxies that have the original artwork and template printed on foil "blanks". I wasn't talking about signed or painted/altered cards. I would post a link, but I don't want to break any rules...
the power 9 on islands are legal. theyre not legal for play, but are great for cubes/edh
I know a guy that does some good altered cards, painting and printing on foils. His look alot better than the average crap you see on ebay too.
As far as I knew, the art, symbols, and the entire template are copyrighted to Wizards. So you are saying printing and selling this copyrighted material is legal?
Nice Guide though! ;-)

I think Yawg actually did the one you are talking about... and Masamune did one as well. Both were posted on this thread on page 490

Also, the original Pearl art on eBay looks pretty sketchy, I am not convinced it is legit.

Oops, I missed that one. I tried to filter out the pre-2000 stuff.
