I think that 3 is probably the right number of Tombstalker in a Confidant build. I usually only want to see one in a game, since I usually can't play a second one (unless the game goes very long for some reason). I think I am also going to try 2-3 Reanimate main deck, it seems to go well with the amount of discard I run.
CBIV: You do surprisingly good work with colored pencils. I think you will be even better with acrylics cardkitty: Christmas Factory is awesome Laura Lo: Nicely done yawg: Congrats on the award, I'll see if I can give you some competition for 2009 ;). That Elspeth is damn nice kingbob: One thing you have to keep in mind is that when acrylics dry, they get darker, so you have to make the wet paint a bit lighter than you think it should be
klug: That Demonic Tutor is awesome Dobber: Haha, sweet Rancors cardkitty: I love the textless Goblin Matron and Thran Dynamo Masamune: Damn, that Bitterblossom and Animate Dead are beautiful
Here's Some EDH pimp, I did these for myself a while ago, but I never posted them
Mishramtg: I'm glad you like them Mythrandir: You have to be sure to let the paint thoroughly dry in between coats or else you will have the paint come off like you said Laura: With the Demonic Consultation, The drawing seems a little skewed (specifically the guy kneeling), however the overall look and feel is great.
I'm looking for advice on the match-up against blue-heavy control decks (MUC, Dreadstill, Counter-top), which are very popular where I play. I figure that Factory and the discard suite are already good against control, anything else? More extirpate maybe?
Agreed, that Predator dragon (lion alter) is really nice. That Herbal Poultice letter is pretty funny, also. Giving away a Thoughtseize and Maze of Ith? Now that is generous.
I also like Dystopia in the sideboard. It is often my only way of removing Solitary Confinement. Plus, I can keep it for an extra turn or two to help persuade them to not play any additional threats for a turn or two.
Yawg: Thanks dude. Playsets are okay, meh Savlu: My advice would be to slow down a bit, and be more careful with the way you apply paint. Keep it up jbone: I think that the cardstock that Magic cards are printed on is too slick for colored pencils to be used as effectively as acrylics, however, if you redrew everything, then it may have a nicer, more consistent look to it
And now, a bunch of stuff that is up on the auction site now
Not the greatest thing, although I am still very happy to be receiving free cards in the mail. White box was 10th ed and shawdomoor, green box was 10th ed and lorwyn. At least I have some nice new deck boxes
Thanks for the kind words everyone. Mythrandir: Yes, I use acrylics for everything Lupe: The Beacon is sweet, but that girl on the Swamp looks terrified LegacyDan: I'll post it now Yawg: That tutor is sweet. I guess I'll have to my own twisted version now cardkitty: Mutant frogs are always appreciated masamune: Those are straight up sexy.

Also, I was toying with the idea of running Bitterblossom and Grafted Wargear. I will also be getting a few Nantuko Shades soon, so those will be in there.

Some more commissioned stuff
I would recommend adding a Pithing Needle, so that someone's Tormod's Crypt or Relic of Progenitus won't wreck you
Karn, Silver Golem + Voltaic Construct + any artifact that taps for 3 mana
