The alteration community is growing with a fast pace. Every day we can see newcomers and veterans showing their talent likewise and the number of cards that have not been altered so far is decreasing with every minute. However, some cards have been altered over and over again like Sol Ring, Brainstorm or Demonic Tutor, while others are "alteration virgins". Let's explore this undiscovered country and be the first alterer to create a new artwork for any card that has not been given this honor yet.
Your challenge
Create a new artwork for a Magic card that has not been altered at all so far or only seen artwork extensions.
Your reward
The contest winner determined by poll will be rewarded with a digital trophy above his avatar and announced on mtgsalvation home.
More information, rules and restrictions - please read carefully!
I don't mind if you go the easy route and take something from M13 or any other recent set. However, this is your chance to alter a cool card that has not seen much real alteration love so far.
It must be a new artwork. Simple extensions - full art or regular - are not allowed.
The work you submit must be something you created for this contest and nothing you pulled from your portfolio.
If you take someone else's artwork as reference, please provide the source.
Keep in mind your entry should be work safe
Silent submission: Do not post your work here. Instead send it by pm to adunakhor and CC blackbull. All entries will be revealed when the polls are up.
Deadline for this contest is 31 July
Rules addendum
If a participant names the card he is going for in this thread, no other participant may submit the same card as part of this contest.
Make a google picture search in addition to looking at the magic turor page to check ou the card you are going for

Are we supposed to put 'dibs' on a card here or keep it a secret until the silent submissions are revealed?
You don't have to, I would say, and the idea of the silent submissions was to increase excitement and have everyone guessing about their competition.
However, I can see how marking the card you are going for makes sense to participants.
Ok, I will make the following addendum to the contest rules:

For the record I don't think 'dibs' are necessary - if we have multiple entries for a card that doesn't show up in MagicTutor we still have 'Undiscovered Country' for the contest purposes.
That said, in compliance with the addendum i will say 'Exquisite Blood'.
I think this was a good idea for a jumping off point - kudos!
If a card in that database has a full art version of the original art can I still choose it because it is not unique? I plan on painting an Exotic Orchard.

Yes, you can. Extensions of the original artwork don't count, be it a regular or full art extension.
The artwork you will have to provide must be something new. To be more precise, "new" means you either completely created the work yourself or your work is derived from someone else's work (e.g. something you found on google). If the latter applies, you need to point out your reference with your submission.
Let's hope this month gives me time for this I would like to call, by the moment: Mana Reflection. Let's see wich nice idea comes to my mind (I personally think the original artwork is quite obvious, turning it into a good candidate for custom art to shine.)
For the record, at this time, there aren't any Mana Reflection custom art alters in the magictutor site (actually, there aren't Mana Reflections at all, neither can I remember any posted in the main altered thread.)

That said, in compliance with the addendum i will say 'Exquisite Blood'.
i will go through all cards later today or tomorrow and give a confirmation that they were legal candidates for the contest by the Time there mentioned. this mean they will stay legal even if an altered Version pops up somewhere else.
