Using a Sharpie to black border a card never worked too well for me. I mean, I've done okay on some cards with a Sharpie (Revised Fastbond, REBs, and BEBs). But the ink typically seems to dry as more of a purple than a black. The guy doing my Power and duals uses an acrylic paint for the borders. It dries a nice deep black, but it's shiny.Quote:

If it was NM/Mint Beta duals maybe it was me :laugh:

Also, since I have seen that Lotus in person, it looks odd, because the wear is only across the frame but not the boarder...
God that's awful..
If your going to black border something for the love of god use acrylics....
Speaking of acrylics...my artist told me last night the Time Vault should be done today and I can then post the scan of it.Quote:

Here's a mash of the scans my artist sent me as he completed each card. On April 1st, when I get all my cards back from him, I'll post scans of the full P9, the Time Vault, and the six Unlimited duals.

Even though I can't really get behind the whole pony theme I do really like the mox emerald alteration with the coboy hat pony.
Funny, was thinking the same thing. That the Emerald is kind of a nice alter. I'd prefer to play beat unaltered unlimited power personally, but if a player enjoys playing with pony alters, that's their business.Quote:

The things we do for edh, haha its fun pimping the format though.
Eh, not into the pony thing, but to each his own, I guess. Good on you for having the balls to play with that.
I didn't see the cowboy hat, but that freaking made it.
There is a large following of My Little Pony, even though it's a bit girly, because it IS so girly. It's almost because it is so one way, its juxtaposition as an interest of men makes it that much more interesting.

Pretty much, but it just means chicken/fish but no steak. /tears everywhere

For some reason, I had the idea stuck in my head that most of that power that Solaran had altered was pretty beat in the first place. (Maybe he posted it back a few pages, could be lying though.)Quote:

There aren't that many to alter, donchaknow?
"Pretty beat" would be a compliment to some of the cards.Quote:

What did you pay on that twister? And I cant really tell, is it alpha? I really want to get rid of my mint signed beta one...Quote:

I got it in a trade with the dealer. It was valued at $500 USD which I thought was a pretty good deal for such a good nick Alpha Twister. If it was Beta, I'd think the deal was so-so market price, but its extremely difficult to find a decent condition Alpha twister. Minty goodness is gonna be in my EDH deck.
Yeah, I am very much in the market to upgrade my UL Twister to Beta, but finding people who want to do that is incredibly difficult. Blah.
