Wow. You, sir, should be making mad amounts of $$$ You are very talented. Your site could use a little work (why the small thumb nail sketches?) but you surely must work for some company. Your talents are amazing.
As for the card; it almost looks like an enchantment; maybe a a sorcery that reads:
~~~2RR
Sorcery
Sacrifice a Dragon. Add an amount of R mana to your mana pool
equal to that cards converted mana cost.
The art might need to change a bit to show a sacrifice.

Search your library for a Dragon card, reveal it, and put it into your hand. Shuffle your library afterwards.
Not that I'm running regrowth effects, Plow Unders or token makers in the deck, but none of those ideas works in the deck as it is. The deck idea you're thinking of does exist though, it was around when I played T2. It looked something like this:
4 Plow Under
3 Eternal Witness
2 Oblivion Stone
2 Time Stop
Tron
Islands
Forests
Condescend
Mana Leak
Staff of Domination
Either way, the next video is a Though the Breach deck, that was originally a CHK Build, but is going to be Extended legal or something: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_n4LwWzLGjY
Darksteel Colossus replaces something and some of the Legendary Search needs to be replaced, maybe some new ideas need to be incorporated as well, but I'm not sure. It's a really, really casual deck that needs drastic help!
It looks like a good idea, but I would separate the symbols a bit, and get rid of the backround. A great tattoo is what you have, it's all one piece, but it doesn't have room for advancement, it needs to have more free form. Maybe you'll decide you're a R/W/B/G mage after all, and you should leave some room for it just in case. And if it's free form, you'll be able to add to it later without making it look awkward.
Talk to your tattoo artist about a free form idea without changing the idea too much. Also ask how much cooler they could make it. That's really fun.
Good luck either way and post pics when you get it!
But those win conditions could.... actually make you win! This is more casual. Although semi serious, it should be fun to play with and against. No one likes losing to 6 Plow under in a row via ETERNAL WITNESS effects.
What's your favorite casual deck? I usually play casual combo, because I'm a johnny, but one of the fun decks I love to play is R/G Madness; hoping to change it to 5-Color madness.
The best part about the deck is giving the opponent some options that they didn't know they had, and how to prioritize your card advantage/disadvantage when it comes to 2for1s.
It isn't the most rare heavy deck either. Most people should have the rares laying around or find them in a $1 binder.
Obviously you can make the deck better by adding in Dual lands like Stomping grounds and BoPs.
Some of the favorite cards I enjoy most in the deck are Radha, Heir to Keld and Horned Kavu, because they're cheap beaters that come out super fast.
If anybody has a casual combo deck with Dream Halls that's around 200+ cards let me know!
Am I the only one who really dislikes the Bazaars?
I mean ... why are you choosing to put the creatures in front of the text box entirely?
I guess if it is a commission, I understand.
I just wish the lines were smoother and cleaner on $150 card alters.
I like the Bazaars, but agree with your points. If they weren't in the text box it would be at least 50% better, cleaner lines and and smoother would increase probably another 50% , however, it is different, and I don't think it has been seen yet on the lands. Maybe the execution was wrong, but I like the idea.
Also; alters that aren't the typical norm = so much better then the norm! I love extendo alters and typical borderless, but the more different the card appears, the better I think. That Into thin air looks pretty good right now. Can't wait to see it finished.
We all know that 4 AT in hand will win the game if the opponent keeps his opening seven, on the play, and sacs a fetch land t1.
We also know that this is the reason why the number 13 was chosen (presumably).
But did the artist know is the question now? I'm not sure if this is old news or not, but in the art of the card on the book shelves you can find the number 52 and 25 either backwards or right way on a couple of shelves. It doesn't look like the numbers were hastily put in their either half way through development.
I love this card so much, and it keeps getting better!
As somebody who's not real good at photoshop (elements 4.0) could you guys give the thought process that went into your designs? I think all of them are super great, and would like to learn just a little on how to improve more.
Even though Trancebam's might be a little too colorful or 'kiddish' in appearance, I think it might be one of the best.
right now I'm really enjoying the multiplayer (and indeed the reason I got it). Special Ops I haven't even tried yet, but the Campaign isn't too bad. I don't care for the Modern approach, but it makes for some interesting scenery (outside of the WW2 era I'm used to). The maps aren't huge, but there are some big ones, and the small ones have plenty of spots to hide without being ridiculously stupid.
Over all I'm quite happy with the game. It might not be Cod4 2 in terms of Epicness, but if we get a Cod 4 3 it'll be so good I might just reserve that one as well.
A question that I'm sure is asked way too often: I got a nasty little virus that really slows down my system where I actually have to leave the room waiting for web pages to load. I ended up downloading a bunch of fire fox add ons and one of them had a virus that Spybot didn't find.
I downloaded the free AVG software, and it worked for 2 days before the system got even worse. Before I start backing up all of my music and document/picture files is there anything I can do other then reinstalling my vista software? Will that even work?
A couple of guys at Best Buy I talked to a while ago said that I could bring it in and have them take a look but it was most likely they wouldn't be able to help much ( other then taking my money from me).
ideas suggestions and directions would be great,
thanks

Fortunate Appearance :4mana::symg::symu:
Instant - Trap
If an opponent cast two or more creature spells this turn, you may pay :symu::symg: rather then pay Fortunate Apearances' mana cost.
Return target Ally to it's owners hand. You may put an Ally card from your hand onto the Battlefield.
I like the feel of a trap, but the flavor of sneaking something nasty into play. It is limited to what that nasty is; hopefully we'll get some gold Allies in the future. If not, we'll just have to spit out Mirror Entities all the time.
A fun idea:
Ancient Cow fountain Tribute Funnel 4
Tribal Artifact - Ally
Ancient Cow fountain Tribute Funnel enters the Battlefield with X charge counters on it, where X is equal to the number of Allies you control.
Whenever Ancient Cow fountain Tribute Funnel or another Ally enters the Battlefield, you may put X 0/1 Green Cow creature tokens into play, where X is the number of Charge counters on Ancient Cow fountain Tribute Funnel. BATTLE CATTLE

I actually had fun doing these. They might not be perfect, but I had a vision of what I wanted, and got pretty close to it for a change.
