    Apparently, Vroman is famous for boob jobs. They're one of his most frequently requested mods.

    I love those Pyroclasms.

    Do you just use markers when you customize cards?
    Do you have problems with them smearing?

    I used to use these BIC markers, and they never smeared at all. Now I use a combination of Sharpies, Paint Pens, and this weird white marker I found that lets me do stuff like the Xantid. The only time I had problems with smearing was when I used a Gold ink jel pen on DampingEngine's Burning of Xinges, and I had to spray it with hair spray to get it to stay. That made the markers run, but they still look hot. I didn't scan them before I gave them to him, mabe I can get them and scan them.

    For those that alter the art on cards, exactly how do you get the original picture off? Do you erase it? I've been trying that, but it always seems to not be working too well or I end up horribly marking/ruining the card. Any tips?

    I have heard you literally use an eraser which after a while will leave the erased part white.

    JUDGE!

    anyways the dark rits aren't all that great since for some of them it just doesn't have any element of the dark ritual in them at all, might as well put them on any other card

    also an eraser works or you can just set the canvas with white i guess

    Re: Altered Art, Playmats, Etc.

    I've been toying around with altering some Juggernauts for friends (and put one of them on eBay just to see if anyone would bid).

    The best one so far is:

    Obviously my artistic skills are lacking, but I'm having fun at the very least.

    Re: Altered Art, Playmats, Etc.

    I'm looking into replacing the art on some cards by pasting other pictures over the art. Is there any certain types of paste I should use, or methods to keep the card kosher in the eyes of the DCI (weight and whatnot)?

    Weight and thickness are both issues you need to be careful about. Getting DQ'ed & then Elgin'd for Marked Cards would suck.

    sorry to sound noobish, but i've never gotten a clear answer on this. Can you play with modified cards? if so to what extent?

    I think as long as the casting cost, name of the spell, and text box is visible it's okay. But I'm not an authority mabye Nightmare or someone can fill in the blanks.

    Always run it by the TO/Judge first.

    Usually you're fine so long as they aren't a jack ass.

    In some cases (I seem to remember PR being told not to play with a Kird Ape at Kadilak's first DLD) they'll tell you that because the text box, name, casting cost, power&toughness, or something else is obstructed that they can't let you play it (which I think is kinda dumb on everything but the casting cost, as you can play foreign cards that may as well have their name and text box covered).
