What do you think of this for a playmat

[Dan Turner]

I ordered a yard of this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00B1GW2B2/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

figure I can make 2 play mats out of it and would be the closest to the old school spell ground mats What do yall think about it.

That is awesome.

My wife said she was going to sew the edges and draw celtic boarders and a design for the deck to go.

Once we get them and have one finished I will post pics, I jsut hate the stupid "mouse pad " type material they use currently and wanted a spellground Suede playmat without the $100 price tag. If they come out really nice I may have to do a whole bunch to match different decks with. The material comes in dozens of colors.

What are the measurements of a normal play mat? I always thought of making my own playmat with like a spindown life counter built in would be cool. (sure some have the numbers you can use, but I want to be different)

Suede would be pretty nice as well. My favorite was when a guy a week or so back forgot his playmat. So he took his notebook and turned it sideways lol.

14" x 24" is the standard size

I am doing mine as a 36" x 29" so 2 players can use it. This way I get 2 of them per yard of fabric.

Hmm I wonder about a small digital display with life totals on each side like these:

... What if your opponent doesnt want to use it or has their own?

Same as I did with my old 2 player spell ground, fold it under

[nedleeds]

Mouse pad is a bit new school but the spellgrounds used to get chummed up on table scum, pizza sauce etc.. I had a 2 player that we used to play Guardians on all the time (it has a shared disputed territory play area).

[from Cairo]

This thread is making me want a new playmat.

[nedleeds]

I have a new one incoming that will own all other playmats ... perhaps even Liam.

I was thinking of Chuck Norris holding a counterspell :P Maybe even get him to sign it somehow

[Megadeus]

I was trying to get a play mat made with deus of calamity on it and it saying Megadeus on it but I couldn't find any correctly formatted pics of deus.

How did the suede mat work out op?


Also I was thinking of getting a playmat made where there are scans of cards on the playmat in the locations I would normally play them. For example I would have scans of volcanic islands and underground sea's where i would normally play them so when i draw them in my decks i could just play them on top of the scan. The same for other cards like creatures where i i would normally play creature spells and instants at the very top.

The goal would be just a collage of good cards organized by playing zones. Cards like brainstorm, daze, force of will, duals, COT, intuition, cunning wish, abrupt decay, tarmogoy, emrakul, griselbrand, so on and so forth. Dont necessarily want them to be part of the deck i play but i thought it would be interesting. Am i making any sense?

The way im envisioning it would most likely confuse the opponent about whats in play

I just got the material yesterday but I will only be able to do 2 single player mats since I am going to have to glue it back to back before I sew the seam since it is thinner then I expected. Other then that the material seems like it would work great. i did have one issue when testing the material out and that is if your surface is not perfectly level sleeves like to slide on it when you chuck a card down on it.

I do not think any Judge would allow this for the reason stated in your last line and that it could possible grant you an unfair advantage. I know one Judge asked someone to remove the mat or replace it since he had stuff like don't forget upkeep triggers etc written on it.

Change all the names of the dishes with mtg puns and jokes and you got yourself the most awsome playmat ever :wink:.

+1 maybe change the prices to mana costs. maybe it could be a guide to compact combos in disguise

Anyone who's seen my playmat has already seen the best playmat.

[nedleeds]

Don't think so ... my new mat is on its way. Seriously fuck mox diamonds, fuck my little pony, fuck some artist scribbling bullshit on your fucking spell ground.

Listen, and understand. That terminator is out there. It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead.

I agree with magic fanatic, i dont think any judge would allow this, especially if your opponent complain - you'd be asked to use another mat :eek:

As far an I'm concerned, Army of Darkness movie poster is the only appropriate playmat with graphics.

Dear Lord. Arnold. One of the most underrated thespians of our generation.

Back on topic - I didn't know the sheer love for Taken that existed. I stick to MTG-themes on my playmats.
