Donate Button Update:
You may have noticed that the Donate Button is gone. In under 5 days, Source members have contributed a total of $642.95, an amount which will cover site costs for a little over a year. The staff thanks you for your generosity. The enthusiasm and strength of character engendered by this site's community is remarkable. You guys are awesome. Thank you.
If you wanted to donate but didn't get an opportunity to, you can still contribute by going to paypal and manually entering my email address, which is patrick.maeder2@gmail.com. Be sure to make a note that it's for The Source, and include your Source username if you want to be added to the Site Contributors usergroup.
Any further funds donated will simply push back the time when the Donation button will again rear its ugly head. As it stands, you won't be seeing it until October 2014.
Thanks again you guys!
EDIT: Those members who contributed have been added to the Site Contributors usergroup. Their names will appear in teal, and their default title is Site Contributor. If you don't want your title to be Site Contributor, you can override it with a custom title in your profile settings. If you don't want your name to appear in teal, just shoot me a PM and I'll change your default display usergroup back to Member.
I'm certain that a few donors were not added to the Site Contributors usergroup. This was not intentional - I simply don't have every donor's Source username. If I missed you, please send me a PM about it and we'll get you added to the group. Thanks.
Just to let you know, I bought one of the Source mats for 150. Beyond that, people have offered 300 for others and got rejected.
However... I know the admins were wanting to get a hold of the one I obtained but I was too quick ;) I think the admins are wanting to use it as a prize for a site competition or something. I'd contact them and see if they're interested in purchasing it.

Speaking of playmats, Kayradis has a nice one with theSource logo on it. I'd be happy to buy official one like that if the admin team decides to produce them.
I'd be interested in Merchandise! Polos, mats, etc.

I'll post a picture as soon as I am home today. It's nothing fancy. Just The Source Logo with YOUR SOURCE FOR LEGACY and the website. It look pretty dope IMHO.
I'll send pics to Zilla/Di for their approval in regards to design. The whole thing was made by InkedPlaymat with a design from TheArchitech.
If some considers buying from Inked Playmats, feel free to use my referral link. It will give both of us a $5 discount which is really great. Had I known about this, I would have asked for a referral link myself before placing my order.
Considering that most of their playmats are around $19, this is really cool.
/edit: it's only valid for 8 more days.

Hey all, if anyone here would like some help with the design of a source playmat. I would love to throw my hand in to help with the design.
I'm a professional artist working in the game industry for about 10 years. Can view my work @
http://www.myelectronicdays.com/
or http://myelectronicdays.cghub.com/
I paint alot of custom playmats for people in my local area (austin,tx).. and have a great working relationship with Jeremy and Inked playmats as well.
If any mods want to PM me, I would love to help out such a great community.
Love this idea from earlier
"As far as a playmat, I would like to see an artist's rendering of some iconic legacy match-up in universe. I tend to get the most utilitarian mats and deckboxes, but I'd pay extra to see a playmat with a bunch of goblins charging down a phyrexian dreadnought, or emrakul annihilating several tarmogoyfs. "
Dave.
Make it a black and white "Battle Royal" with all the iconic cards in the Legacy universe with lots of details. The concept would of course have to come from someone with a broad understanding for the Legacy metagame but it would REALLY be worth it. I'm thinking about ~30 different creatures/spells being represented with the "The Source" logo in the middle.
Like a big big fight happening around the logo stretching all over the playmat! Brainstorm whirling around a Fetchland and two other cards, a Natural Order killing a Dryad Arbor and summoning a Craterhoof Behemoth. I see a Goblin Lackey being stopped cold by a Deathrite Shaman that then casts a Stoneforge Mystic that is about to grab Umezawa's Jitte. I see Doomsday being cast off Dark Ritual right next to a spinning Sensei's Divining Top and a smashed in Counterbalance, destroyed by an Abrupt Decay right next to it. On the bottom we see a very tight pack of Lord of Atlantis, Master of the Pearl Trident, Coralhelm Commander and also Silvergill Adept which has just come off a Aether Vial while all of them are being held back by a Peacekeeper. On the right side, Show and Tell is being cast and puts Griselbrand into play while right next to it, Knight of the Reliquary has just entered the battlefield (with Karakas in the background). We see Infernal Tutor right next to two broken Lion's Eye Diamonds, all coming out of the mouth of the guy on Ad Nauseam with Tendrils of Agony in the background, reaching out to physically grab and abuse a Snapcaster Mage, Dark Confidant and other iconic Legacy creatures. Three tiny Tarmogoyf are facing off a gigantic Emrakul, the Aeons Torn but viewed from a cliff to provide good perspective and not make the Tarmogoyfs actually appear small on the playmat. At some point we see Force of Will burning down a Goblin Charbelcher with several Goblin Tokens (off Empty the Warrens) jumping out of the cannon on the Charbelcher and running towards a Tundra and being shutdown by a Terminus.. Oh boy...
And in the middle of all of this: "The Source - Your Source For Legacy - mtgthesource.com".
Of course, there's so much more to add to this but I hope I was able to convey how I imagine this to look like! Hell, I'd easily pay 50€+ for something like that!

I totally agree with this, I think it would be pretty cool.
Something like that for instance? http://www.gatheringmagic.com/mj-sco...994-magic-art/
This is fucking awesome. We have a legit artist (your stuff looks amazing dude) and a legit art concept. This needs to happen. Take my monies.
Edit: black and white is pretty classy. I think if the finished product looks slightly sketchy (as in, an actual sketched drawing) I think that would look very nice and would save you time/effort on shading and coloring and stuff.
It's also something to show to people who still believe Legacy was only Fast Combo vs. Force and ask them: [I]"Just look at it. Do you still feel that way?"

I've already started sketching it out. I can keep it black and white if thats what people want. Color could look slick also. I spend almost 11+ hours a day on my cintiq painting, so I don't mind either way.
man.. that original goyf art.. took me atleast 5 minutes to figure out where a face might even be.
ty sir
I would very much prefer a black and white style as I've always appreciated that style; I like my cards not blending too much with the colors on the playmat. On the other hand of course, white playmats are a pain in the ass to keep physically clean, I assume.
