I put this in the altered art thread too. I apologize if putting it in both is bad etiquette, but it's foil and got cool stuff on it, so I think it's pimp.

I got my hands on them quite cheap I believe, but it'd be nice to know for sure.

They're about the same prize as Timespira jap foils, though rarer, the image is much less desirable.

The only foils of Lord of Atlantis are 7th and TSP, so they're both rare, but TSP has the classic art while 7th's is.... less so.

Time Spiral also had the new awesome foiling technique, while 7th Edition featured the old shooting star and embedded layer of aluminum so the card would fold like a tent. I guess it's a matter of taste though, I liked my foil Goblin Welder before I sold it and the promo Urza's Saga basics are pretty hot.

Hi all!
I've recently closed a publicity deal with Terese Nielsen! This offer will provide you a 5% discount + free shipping when commissioning alterations from her. You can read more about the offer and the conditions by clicking at the banner:
http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b32/piZZero/Banner-Terese-Nielsen2.gif (http://www.team-pataners.com/terese-nielsen-alterations/)
I'd also like to let you know that we've opened a online shop at Team Pataners where you'll find some "pimp" stuff. Many of you have asked me many times if I'm selling some of my cards. When I do, you'll find them at the online shop, so keep your eyes opened!

Hi all!
I've recently closed a publicity deal with Terese Nielsen! This offer will provide you a 5% discount + free shipping when commissioning alterations from her.
Kick ass!! Now those $710 alterations (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150444123156#ht_500wt_1154) are only $674.50!! Shipping included! It's not can you afford to, it's can you afford NOT to.
/sarcasm
Sorry, but with sky high prices, 5% is probably not going to make or break someone's decision to purchase an altered card. Still, something is better than nothing, always look on the bright side of life and all that jazz. :wink:
piZZero
06-04-2010, 06:14 AM
Sometimes I can't understand people...
If someone would like a playset commissioned:
Average price is $710 x4 = $2840
5% off = $142
Shipping = $50 aprox, even more depending where you live.
Total amount saved by just using the offer = $200 (aprox)
This offer is obviously focused for those who can and want Terese Nielsen alterations. Obviously, if you can't afford it you won't benefit from it. Nevertheless, there's absolutely no need to criticize or use of sarcasm. This is better than nothing, and I'm sure a lot of people will benefit from this offer.

why does it cost 50 shipping? are you just multiplying how much she charges for shipping on ebay by 4?
(anyone remember when that's much she used to charge for a alter)

Maybe you can laugh about Dutch humor about Germans? (or are you dutch yourself since you can understand german a bit)
Anti-German sentiments in the Netherlands are often expressed through dark humour. An example is the painting of the words 'Zimmer Frei' (room vacant) on old bunkers along the highways coming into the country from Germany, a reference both to the war and Holland's popularity with some German tourists. Another example is a joke sometimes told when a Dutch person meets a German: "Give me back my bike!", in reference to the German appropriation of Dutch bicycles for war purposes during occupation.
On the bright side, Germany has surpassed France as most popular holiday destination. Which is fair because I think the Germans are actually the nicest people in Europe. But it's true that Germans aren't that funny.

I remember a few years back I emailed Terese about alterations. She had, at the time, the policy of $40 per card. I was willing to pay that. She emailed me back and said the price jumped to $100 each. I wasn't willing to pay that. It's STAGGERING to me that that price has risen to almost 20x that original price point in the ensuing years.

The $40-$100 price tag years ago was probably for minor alterations (i.e. scribble here and there). In fairness to the artist, Terese right now is doing 'Extreme' alterations. Her recent work really takes a lot of effort, time (and paint) to finish. The demand for altered/signed Force of Wills has also risen more than 20x. Altered Fact or Fictions and Eternal Witness sell for no less than $300. I believe this is not the place to bargain and I hope it ends here. No one is forcing anyone to acquire one. There are people in this world who can afford an original Picasso or Da Vinci, while some can contend with reproductions. I hope people will grow up and just deal with the prices.

Whats there not to understand? Welcome to the intarwebz. If you act all excited about something lame people are going to call you on it. And yes, 5% on a ridiculously overpiced alter is very very lame.
I can also back nightmare up on the old prices of alters. I saw a guru island on eBay which someone used as a proxy. I asked her how much it would cost to put a cloud or something over the "FoF" someone wrote on it and she only wanted $35. I know it wasn't an extreem alteration but it would have encompased 1/3 of the card

Why we talk about prices of 4-5 years ago? Is like talking about the early days of Future Sight when we could buy goyfs for $5... Truth is nowadays alterations cost what they cost because of:
- HUGE demand (by HUGE i mean REALLY HUGE).
- Artist has very small time to do them
- Artist is doing excellent work when altering, because she knows how much people is willing to pay for.
If you want her alter you something and do not want that "lame" 5% off, then go ahead. I'm sure there's gonna be a lot of people willing to benefit from this unique deal and save those $200 to buy something else.

its pretty ridiculous that some guy is comparing neilson alts to DaVinci... people can afford original Davinci's... they are called museums (and technically not an individual but a collective). Private parties however, (extremely affluent ones that is) can afford merely a tattered page from his sketch books, which are often priceless in and of themselves.
Most original works by the greats are in fact PRICELESS, that is to say all of Bill Gate's money could not buy one.
Not that this has anything to do with MTG, just a funny comparison

THE PRIMER FOR PIMPIN/BALLIN:
0) Miscut versions of the below list are the defacto BALLER
1) FOIL (if available) in order of pimpness: Japanese, English (original set non judge version), all other languages/versions
2) Dual lands: Summer, BETA, FBB
3) Basic lands: Summer, Guru, MPS, FOIL Unhinged, FOIL Zendikar, APAC
4) Non foils (if FOIL not available), Japanese, English (original set), all other languages/versions
0 is right, miscut cards are awesome sauce.
1 is partially right, do they have korean cards in foil? If they do have foil korean cards, that comes before japanese and the rest is right.
2 is right
3 is right
4 is definitely not right because korean comes before japanese
I'd say on the topic of foil LoA's that 7th is better simply because there are less foil 7th japanese lord of atlantis's than there are of foil japanese timespiral LoA's.
Nice japanese foil dredge deck by the way very hard to acquire some pieces.

I need some help. What are the best pimp lightning bolts, in order from most to least? I need to pick up some for my deck.
0) Slinga's
1) Textless (old pic)
FORGOT: Summer
2) Alpha
3) Beta
4) German BB (has blitz in the name/old pic)
5) Old Foil promo
6) Foil Jap M10
7) textless promo
8) does it even matter at this point?

Isn't regular M10 Foil above the textless? It's so easy to get textless bolts.

I prefer my Revised ones. It's fun to play a full set of Alpha duals, foil everything and then plop a white bordered Lightning Bolt on someone. People just cringe every time they see them. It makes me smile.

I agree that it can be awesome. I was playing in a 10 proxie tournament and I had a basic land with BOLT written on it because I forgot my bolts. I forgot to add summer bolts to the list. They have the added appeal of looking like crap to the untrained eye. It would be fun to play a summer bolt, have someone come up and ask why you have such a lame bolt in a pimped out deck and just let them think its worth nothing.

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I was wondering something. I want all my cards to be the same 'pimp style', and decided that the same foreign language & black bordered would make for some simple pimp. Considering I use duals this leaves me with French, German & Italian. I have no clue if all sets are printed in these languages, so my question is: In what language are all of these cards printed, blackbordered, if any?
The cards I use:
EE
Top
Standstill
Humility
Brainstorm
Counterspell
Force of Will
Spell Snare
Path to Exile
Swords to Plowshares
Elspeth
WoG
Vindicate

It's a SwampBolt. Eventually I may build a red/black EDH to house it. In a monored burn deck you could probably get away with playing it as a Bolt if your deck doesn't run anything black.

http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff281/twol84/SummerHurricane-1.jpg
A valued part of my collection (and part of my next scan), but to be honest, if I had to take a blowtorch to either the hurricane or a card like say the EE test print, there'd be one less hurricane in the world. I also passed up on trying for the summer serendib because I just paid for this and a couple other things :(
On lightning bolts, without being partial to something I own, textless saga > all else by a considerable distance. Full albino bolts are next (anyone who's seen these know that they are gorgeous), followed by summer. Double prints are next followed by heavy miscuts. The rest don't really matter compared to the preceding.

LOL If you want to believe that "Summer Edition" is the name of the set then go ahead, but it's just the summer print run of Revised, which was recalled. We actually got a few boxes of it where I live here in Tennessee, and I can tell you nobody knew the difference until the packs were opened.
"Summer Edition" or "Edgar" or whatever you want to call it are just names to distinguish it from the other Revised print runs.

I have to say that I actually like the Judges' Onslaught fetches better than the originals because they foiled up the art; I was never particularly a fan of the shooting star thing, and I personally enjoy foils solely for the way they highlight the art.

I know that almost any artist will sign cards if you mail them with a self addressed stamped envelope. If you google it someone put together a decent contact list on the Wizards forums iirc. Also, if you are ever near Boulder CO, Dan Frazier loves to have people to his house to sign cards. He does it so he can try to sell you art though. Was kinda akward...

On the subject of Lightning bolts and the respective value, I would put the Metal bolt above textless foil. Other than that, the list as stated by Occam is spot on. Unfortunately, you cannot actually play with the metal bolt, so there is that caveat.

That guy has been trying to figure out exactly what Wizards will pay for it. They own the rest of them and that's like one of the last original arts of the power 9 they don't have. They paid quite a bit for some of them from what I heard and Iguess this guy is fishing to see what they would dish out. Heck, I'd do it.

There's 8 BuyItNows on ebay for these <$20, plus a playset at <$60 so they can't be terribly hard to come by. I guess it's pretty rare if looking to find one in trade, but they seem readily available online.

I see you've never actually seen the Strip Mine I use in EDH? It's from frigging Anthologies. All hail white bordered cards with an Antiquites logo on them. You'd almost mistake it with a Chronicles one, except Strip wasn't in that series.

I usually prefer looking at complete decks, but this is actually really nice. How long did you work on this?
dahcmai
08-05-2010, 06:30 PM
Not real sure. I happened to come across a bunch of these while they weren't legal and picked them up for fun decks around the time Vampiric Tutor got restricted. I jokingly wanted the Imperial Seals for a deck that used to have Vampirics in it. I got a ton of the rares in the lot. I realized how close I was to finishing it later on after they made it legal. I slowly traded for most and Ebayed a few obscure ones. Imperial Recruiter was the last card oddly enough.
Anyway, finishing that one was a bitch. No one has that kind of stuff in their trade folders and even vendors at the Grand Prixs and Gencons don't have much to look through. I remember I had Wolf Pack on an automatic Email notification for a ton of sites if one ever popped up. That card took 7 months to find of constant scouring the net. Some were just as bad.
Awesome stuff. I still need some Legends from that set for my legendary collection and although I already got the most expensive ones (I got them before EDH became big), I always feel bad to spend money on them. Seeing them together like that looks really great.
Too bad I have to split my money between card to actualy play with, my legendary collection and my complete Korean set. I have more love for the cards to play with and the Korean set, so I almost never take the time to grab the missing legends.
Great set!

Bryant, that EDH Strip Mine is fugly.
The TES, however, is not.
How is my strip mine ugly? It's the only foil version they have.
Thanks.

I didnt like japanese that much either until the only japanese card I had in my deck was one negate. I had it in my hand against dredge, he cabal therapy-ed me and then did it again, not taking negate. He didn't know what it was. He attempted to go off and swing with haste, I countered the spell, and next turn dropped EE, end step wiped the board and took control with elspeth and jace. It was a classic. Since then, I have decided foreign in the way to go. It will win you a game or two along the way. Or lose you one if you don't know your own cards, haha!

I actually like seeing these decks and all, but why is it there is so many people with a pimped out Dredge deck anyway? That is kind of odd how many there are in this thread.
One last thing, I want to have some fun. I have a challenge. Name a deck you have never seen pimped out and I'll throw as much of it together as I can and post it. Be something different. About the only thing I can't build is stuff with recruiters as I only own two.

The difference = nerd rage.
Hilarious. Considering Nielsen's work is copying the likeness of Tedin's work, I can't really understand why someone copying Nielsen's work is somehow off limits. Also, the alter on the right is not even attempting to pass itself off as a fake, hence the artist's own mark, not a forgery of Nielsen's signature.

I am glad you have the original one, but in no way was I trying to pass it off as yours. If anything you shold be happy you have a piece of art, so nice thaty other people want to have, but personallly I would have never paid 700 for it, it is nice but not 700 nice , but thats just what I think.

LMFAO! Terese did not exactly copy Tedin's work, the images are portrayed very differently. An artistic impression based on Tedin's, suffice it to say her alteration is still an original work. Seriously why the fcuk compare this to what the other guy did, that was obviously a blatant attempt to reproduce artworks previously done by another artist.
Also, the alter on the right is not even attempting to pass itself off as a fake, hence the artist's own mark, not a forgery of Nielsen's signature.

wow you got me man, it was an excuse big time. Rather then being happy that someone is in a small form jealous of an item you own, and take it as a compliment. Instead you be a dick about it. All I am saying is altering a card is personal preference, and to be honest out of the 4 it's the one I like the least. I chose that one because they had a vintage theme as the others. But I have read tedious arguments on here, and I don't argue. I was just posting pics of my decks like everyone wants to see. i bet your the life of the party where yyou go, Mr. Buzz killington. Just wipe the sand out of your vagina and let's start posting some pics.

LMFAO! Terese did not exactly copy Tedin's work, the images are portrayed very differently. An artistic impression based on Tedin's, suffice it to say her alteration is still an original work. Seriously why the fcuk compare this to what the other guy did, that was obviously a blatant attempt to reproduce artworks previously done by another artist..
Imitation is one of the biggest compliments an artist can get. You see this with all forms of art.
Just move on.

Quit the lame excuses.
Wait, what? You're trolling, correct? I don't see the problem with it. I mean, if it was really copying, all he had to do was take a picture of your card and a FoW to one of those street painters in China that copy anything with perfection. Then you could bitch.
Please tell me you're trolling.
Edit: I mean, it's like having a Ferrari F40 and getting pissed because someone parked next to you with a Fiero kit. You can't possibly be serious.

Hey, I just took some photos of my pimped out Landstill deck but I have no idea how to post them here. When I click the insert photo button, it asks for an address. Can anybody walk me through how to post these pics?

Copy the url address and post it on the tag line.

Hey, thanks for helping me to get these pics up guys. Here is the deck I top 8ed Legacy champs with last weekend. Everything that could be foil is, except for 1 Jace, TMS. The FOWs, Tundras, and Volcanics are all German. The Tolaria West is Chinese. Everything else is English because I have a soft spot for English foils. Hope you guys like the pics.

Take the URL of the image in question, and stick it between these tags:
No buttons, no unnecessary BS. Just copy+paste those tags into your post, and copy your image location and paste it between them.
You may want to post like this:

Click Share, then more options, then the direct link for myspace etc, otherwise the tags will not work.

Yeah, that's basically what I wanted to do lol, however I don't have the wherewithal to accomplish it.
I own the original card of that "Necro" Force of Will. I deeply regret spending $650 on alterations that many on this site could do just as good if not better.
Fixed that for you.

Come on, that's just mean. He got his FoW altered beautifully by the original artist - if he's willing to spend big money on that (and takes the courtesy to post the results here) than that's his choice. I agree that him b*tching about someone copying the alteration is unnecessary, but at least he got the real thing so why diss him on his spendings?
Where's that pimped out lands deck? I wanna see that really bad. And if dahcmai is still taking requests: Quinn.
Too bad I can't really contribute too this thread myself, since the only cards I own which are somewaht "pimp" are:
- German Wild Nacatls (since they're "Wilder" Nacatls)
- Foil Foil's (you know, the actual card)
- Korean Lotus Petals
- Judge foil Maze of Ith and Natural Order's, although one could argue about the pimpness of that...
Oh yeah, and I've got a small collection of Scathe Zombies, including some asian ones. Yeah, take that...

i agree nirves, but you can't take life to seriously, or you won't make it out alive...write that down...It's all in having a good time. As for not contributing, its all in what you think pimp really is, some like jap foil, german, french, non foil..It's what you think pimp is. Its all in taking pride of what you got. Its like sticking 24 inch rims on a 95 escort. You may like it, others may not. Post it if your proud of your deck, I cuoldn't care if others hate my decks I likem alot.

Yes, I know of at least three posters in this thread that could do an equal job if not better. Just because you have a boner for T. Nielsen doesn't maker her the best artist ever.

That's mine. The board is way out of date, the maindeck is mostly the same. I haven't gotten FBBs, but I'm going to be working on them in the near future.

I once played a "garden" deck i already posted, which was originally meant to be an improved version of 43 lands (in the french metagame at least). I don't play anymore so i have no idea about that though.
At this point i still had to pimp the top right cards (alterations), and the 4 explorations were meant to be altered as well by BigUp (who did the tabernacle ... that now belongs to a VIPlayer :) )

I'm willing to bet Poxy can do that same FoW alter just as well as Terese. It might even come out cleaner than hers since her alters aren't exactly in the same league as Spencers (who is in a league of his own). In case you haven't seen Poxy's alters take a look...

Oh and if you think I'm not a good judge I'll just let you know that I have probably seen more artist altered cards in person than anyone on this forum. I also own quite a few...

Someone over on MTGS was bitching because someone had a very similar alter commissioned to theirs.
Sorry, but they aren't copyrighted or trademarked, and the chivalry among altered artists isn't that high.
If someone really likes something they've seen, and doesn't want to pay what it would cost to get the other done, someone out there will paint it for them.

Not trying to be rude, but anyone calling out Terese Nielson imitators is pretty much not understanding the irony in wanting artistic honesty while commisioning work from someone who has made an altering career of violating precisely that. Not wrong or anything, but glass houses and all that.
Too bad most of my collection is in toploaders or screwdowns. I could post some really nice decks. For example, my geddon stax deck (lacking about 4 of the korean cards now) if I chose to put it together would be multiples of the four thousand dollar solution. Maybe some time soon.
