    Quote from Crimeo
    What if you slide an equal thickness piece of blank paper BEHIND all of the other cards in your deck? (Assuming you use an opaque-out-to-the-edges sleeve brand, of course)

    That's just kind of a slippery slope to marked cards. There is nothing stopping a player from taking out the papers and leaving their lands marked, or all of a certain card marked; there's just a lot of room for abuse.

    Plus that kind of seems like a lot of effort when you could just use regular basics or save up for full arts. It's just regulation to use actual magic cards in a tournament. Ask a judge before using anything like this and certainly don't do this at competitive REL.

    Hence the "almost as thin as computer paper." Also I'm sorry if I just assumed people would realize that you should bring this to the judge's attention ahead of time, not just secretly start playing with them.

    It is trivial to simply make it so that the homemade sheet is sitting on top of the correct type of basic land that matches it. So fixing the deck takes 20 seconds to just slide out the paper if the judge tells you it's not okay at the beginning, and you now have a normal official deck.

    And if the judge tells you it is okay at the beginning, then complaining opponents can lump it.




    People play in tournaments all the time with cards that have PAINT on them that almost certainly alters the thickness/size of the card more so than this would. World championships? No. Local fun tournaments for $20? Totally worth a try for the chance to have more pleasant art.


    Any noticeable change in thickness is something to avoid. I can't think of any situation where I would let a player do this in a sanctioned event, you're only supposed to use actual MTG cards in a Tournament. But yes if you have an alter and the head judge of an event OK's it, you're set. I personally don't think that this is an OK-able alter; but I'm sure some other judges might disagree. It's down to their judgement but I was just putting in my two cents. Not trying to start a war here. Smile

    Well MaRO has stated pleanty of times that they only want to do full art lands when it's special. Doing something like that would kind of take the fun out of full arts IMO. I see no reason for them to keep making full art lands, like sure it's cool but it should only be done so often otherwise it becomes less cool.

    That being said I am somebody who has a lot of full art ZEN lands for my cube so a constructed deck of mine is rarely sporting a regular framed basic.

    I told my girlfreind I played magic within an hour of meeting her, she thought I was a magician that did magic tricks. I don't find it worth hiding honestly, if someone judges you for it that's their problem. If your family judges you to the point where you feel you need to hide it I feel kind of bad for you especially.

    Drafted 3 times yesterday at an open and loved my deck all three times, got knocked out of the first one to a rw deck, second one to a br deck, and third to another rw deck. the third draft round one the guy had hyper aggressive hands with a lot of removal, it happens sometimes.

    Fates seem like a sweet general for EDH. Not much else to be said there IMO.

    So this guy seems pretty good, aside from there being a demon in this set which i didn't expect. But it seems like a pretty standard black demon. I feel like he will combo well with dark prophecy. But really not sure how to feel about it, definitely glad to see chroma back in a very flavorful way.

    tap symbol Add :symu::symu::symu::symu: to your mana pool. At the beginning of your next upkeep pay :symu::symu::symu::symu:. If you don't, you lose the game.

    Have fun Hahahahahaha! I is the devil.

    you could just pay the upkeep cost with the same land over and over again.

    Well I mean there's a point where Noel is trying to gain advantage and has some knowledge that what he's doing is wrong. I would at least investigate if I was called to this match.
