Did poorly at a legacy event this weekend, but on the plus side I was able to "finish" black bordering my Peasant Cube with this nice looking Animate Dead.
Just need a Beta Swords to Plowshares and a Beta Counterspell before I can be content.
Really nice Animate Dead haganbmj. It's certainly one of the cards I'm missing for my cube. Running CE one at the moment. I actually purchased an altered one from Yawg, but it never arrived
Here are some cards I've been tinkering around with to various degrees of success, including a second take at the Vivi young pyromancer.
I really like that throne for Daretti, makes him look less like a measly goblin and more like a planeswalker. That Factory is also pretty sweet looking.

That Sol Ring is great. A real improvement on the new Sol Ring art which is about as boring as card art has ever been.
It's not like the old art was anything to write home about - people like it because it is associated with a powerful card. If it came out today, no one would be excited about it. It's always depressing when iconic cards have super meh art, and they miss their opportunity when they give it new art.
The original is not particularly great art, but it's iconic. That's the picture that goes with the card Sol Ring. The new art is not only a boring piece of art, but it's simply an unacceptable art to use with Sol Ring. One must have some respect for the past.
If the original Sol Ring art came out today I would be very, very excited about it. It would mark a turn away from the boring, homogenized, uninteresting art we've seen in Magic for the last few years.
I love the newer digital media art and actually prefer the new Sol Ring art to the old. I'm currently running a Mark Tedin signed Judge Promo for pimpness factor. And also because the new art is only foil in a FtV set, which is a huge bummer.
Recent alters received. The first is a lithograph, the last 4 are all hand drawn. 2 different artists, one for the lithograph, the other did the final four.
@Salmo: Man that BoP is really cool, I'd love that one in my cube. Who did the alters? I think I remember some of them being posted on Facebook at some point.
Someone from the Philippines, it's actually sorta sketchy cause I find the same artist selling 10-20 pieces of their work at a time on Ebay through different accounts in each instance, so I can't say exactly who it is, sorry that's the best I can do!
My 3 home made alters, nothing very special but I like them, my first venture into doing this kinda thing and it didn't turn out too badly.
Golem token made from a Ben grim card from the marvel vs game
Vampire nighthawk altered with a foil batman card. Proabaly would have been better if the nighthawk was foil. I also need to change "shaman" to "batman" in the creature type.
A simple one, not even stuck down, a placeholder until I do the same thing but better.
I have a bunch of foils that will be uploaded soon.
As in stickers? No they were cards from the marvel card game that I cut the parts I needed off and stuck them on. Unfortunitly it makes the card a bit thicker but most of my fetches/shocks have a note in them so it's not instantly noticable what one it is.
I have added some commentary to the original post.
You got a firm rule on prerelease vs pack foils, or is it just whatever shows up first?
Regardless, that's all sweet. I'll always take Beta bolt over that one, but still an awesome card
If you would of asked me that question last week I would of said that I do not like Prerelease foils, although I got the Dig Through Time and Yasova Dragonclaw for $6 together, so I don't care haha. Honestly, I will end up replacing the Dig with an OG foil. I'm not sure if Yasova stays in the cube but if she does I will probably do the same.
I've wanted a pimp bolt for a while now, Beta has always been an option but I figured since I have the FNM Swords to Plowshares I might as well also get the matching frame foil Lightning Bolt. I am a big fan of the the OG Frame foil cards, there is some nostalgia behind them, being a blend of both worlds.
The price history of this bolt has also been crazy, When Scalding Tarn hit $100 two years ago, it caused everything of similar or higher value to explode. This is why there was an increase in price of Duals and Power. This card went from $80-$275 overnight. Some time has passed, and finally I was able to grab this SP copy for $175 from ABUgames.
My favorite foil in this picture is actually the Smash to Smithereens. I found it looking through my store's bulk foil box. Hey look Shadowmoore Smash, what do you want for it? $2? Done.
Slowly getting there, trying to work out a deal for some of crazy stuff this month so we'll see where it goes.

Thanks man, yeah that art is just begging to have something done about it. You don't see a lot of straight extensions of that art.
