OMG, only $10 for 9 basic lands?! That's phenomenal! I especially love the burn marks and stains all over some of them.

Seriously though.. do you think that someone should contact him and let him know not to waste money listing stuff like that?

Thanks,
Jazaray

I think he was targeting people who like their cards to have a rustic, antique look with all the great patina and what-not.

Local store does that. Opens it up, pulls out all the good stuff, and sells it for $80. And they sell a lot. Scary.

People want cards that look special. Even more special than Beta, jap foil, rus or Korean foil....

I hope that WOTC bans these abominations asap...

I hope you're right Ben. It's a worrying subject. But there is a conversation on MTGS (Yeah, I know...) where they discuss these digital alters and several Judges said they allow them in their tournaments...

$275 for a Day of Judgment is beyond ridiculous. I think people are just used to seeing how much nicely painted ones can go for and are paying these amounts because those prints are all crisp and neat looking. But they seem to be willfully ignoring the fact that the seller can print off an identical copy in no time for next to nothing.

As a judge I'll chime in here, its a case by case call. People want to play with the card they have, and even want to play with their art modified cards. These cards are recognizable pretty easily since all the text and mana cost are there.

But yes the book written rule is.

"provided that the modifications do not make the card art unrecognizable"

But there is also the part where it says.

"The Head Judge is the final authority on acceptable cards for a tournament."

I've worked many large events with top judges who have allowed full alter cards. (modified duals and such) So some let them play some don't. For judges the biggest issue tend to be with the thinkness and can you tell what the card is when playing it.

Would i allow these? Maybe. I would have to see the card, feel it and then make a call on it. many of them I would not allow due to the "contain offensive images" clause. I'm also not a fan of the printed alters, the painted ones I'd likely be a little more hesitant on.

Oh and why are full art alters even considered? Well my Revised Serendib, Spanish 4th Serra Angel or German Wald are all playable, so it hard to say an alter isn't playable because the art is different.

People are suckers for a deal, even if it's not really a deal, also I suppose if they plan to draft/sealed then it's not a bad deal, as the expensive stuff matters a lot less.

This was my favorite line:
"x1 Mountain Foil - from Invasion, NM I have never seen any misprint like this one. The top 1/5th of the card is separated by a thin line, made more obvious by the old style border and because it is foil. I've been playing MTG for 10+ years and have never seen another card like this, and believe it to be fairly rare. This is mainly what you are bidding on, the other two are just extra's "
