Just wanted to take a moment out to say Thank You to all the amazing people that do Digital Renders on this forum. I've long come here to get original renders for cards that I know and love and appreciate all the time and effort that people like Zeerbe put into their love of this. I've tried to mess around in Gimp with templates and such, but I have not quite figured it out on the level you guys have. Thanks again for everything that you do!
I'm sure everyone has figured this out by now, but having taken this as high as it will go, (E-mailing and talking with Pete Hoefling, President of Star City Games), they are not going to do anything about the situation. Jared Sylva has stated that they are "trying to get a hold of him", but that is as far as they are taking it. Jared did inform me that they DID NOT have a Vendor Agreement in place protecting Star City from Liability in the matter, though pursuing this is not in my best interest, as I was scammed for a very small amount, whereas others were scammed out of thousands. Pete Hoefling made a post earlier this morning over at StarCityGames announcing their artist line-up for their Los Angeles Open. I have voiced my opinion there, and would urge others to do the same so that the president of the company can get another good idea of how many people were scammed by their vendor. If you attempt to seek compensation from Star City, they will immediately Lawyer up and shut down all communication with you, so I wouldn't reccomend this route. I have filed Federal Mail Fraud Charges against both Brian Byrd and Sarah Isbell Hollis, and have spoken with federal investigators over the matter, but have not heard any results. I am comforted knowing that there are pending Felony charges out there against them should they ever surface again.
Apologies, I'm on my iPhone and can't save/paste the IMG tags how I want.
The point being that I really don't like those bars across the cards! They just aren't necessary.
I agree completely and didn't notice the change till I saw the promo Mwonvuli Beast Trackers at my local shop. I remember even asking the shop owner "Have they always used the borders in Super Art promos? It looks kinda dumb...."
Hey everyone, is there any way I could get this art turned into an SA Kresh The Bloodbraided? Thanks so much, I am apparently Gimp stupid. I would credit the artist, but I found it in a search and have no idea who did it.
Here is my version of a Kaalia deck. Objective is to run her out as quick as possible and put the hurt on your opponent using Haste spells and abilities, while having backup protection like Brave the Elements, Bathe In Light, and Emerge Unscathed. I've talked about this deck over on the multiplayer forums, but since in my community, 1v1 is what is primarily played, I was advised I'd get better advice by posting my decklist over here. Without further ado, I present Kaalia Beats! I am looking at taking out Victory's Herald and replacing with Karmic Guide when I can get one. Also Beseech the Queen would come out for Demonic Tutor as well.
I just found out about Karmic Guide by looking at blackjack's list. I want one! Also I completely agree about Demonic tutor and if I had one I'd use it instead. Alas, I haven't ordered it yet, but when I do, it will replace beseech.
Baneslayer was only recently added, so I may end up replacing the Herald when/if I get my hands on Karmic guide.
On the question of whether Strife's ability has bitten me yet? Only once against my wife's insane Ghave token deck. I added up damage wrong and didn't kill her. Next turn it was Overrun FTW. Just have to be smart and be choosy when the right time is to play her, but when it's right, it's SOOO right!!
How have the following been working out for you?
Archangel of Strife - Can't decide if I like her as a card or not.
Beseech the Queen - Rough at triple black, or really costly.
Victory's Herald - seems like win more to me.
Razia, Boros Archangel - Just not a great angel IMO.
Archangel of Strife has been amazing, probably my most favorite thing to slap down off of Kaalia. Tap, Attack, windmill slam, WAR! Take 14! (or more)!
Beseech the Queen is great to get that card you want to throw down with Kaalia, or to get that back up card I need to make her hasty or protected to set up bringing her out. Most Beseech'd card in my deck? Baneslayer so far! lol
Victory's Herald - Can bring you back at a key moment when it looks like all hope is lost. I don't know where sudden lifelink would be a bad thing!
Razia is in there as a personal favorite of mine. After initial attack, her redirect ability can be used to save Kaalia or something equally important.
There is another thread a little bit down that is a primer on Kaalia, and I have posted my decklist there. Just glancing at your list, the first thing I see is Malfegor. Drop him, lol! Grab a Rune-Scarred Demon if nothing else to replace him with. I believe Rune-Scarred is cheap to pick up.
Alright, here is the version I've put together. One thing to keep in mind, in my community, there is a lot of 1v1 matchups, and not a lot of multiplayer. Generally a 3 for all is about as big as it gets.
I have a cleric deck for EDH that is MOSTLY B/W, though there is a little blue splashed in due to the commander being Lady Evangela. Just a thought on a direction other than Teysa.

Amazing! Thanks so much!
Aside from Karmic Guide, I doubt there are any angels, demons or dragons that I haven't given a shot at.
