My UWr Stoneblade deck: Japanese theme with Fairy Tail alters ^.^
Debating over altering the Forces or get the new version in Japanese (as you can see, I really like the new art...)

One hell of a first post!
Thx! Your Miracles deck was an inspiration for this deck actuallty :) Didn't know about the Coldsnap plow reprint in japanese (def the best art! Had to hunt for a playset for a couple of months:::) and a couple of alters for the " big" cards of the deck look great IMO (your Entreat the Angels + tokens are sweet) ....Quote:

Thanks!Quote:

I want to run APAC but I just can't let go of the flavor of my Venice Islands with regards to how the rest of the deck is decorated.
Funny thing, I was thinking of starting to build towards Stoneblade (though Esper and not UWR) before I saw your post, and now I've become more interested in building it.
Love the deck!
If you're into alters, you may want to consider having your Forces altered into the Japanese language. Would look pretty sick next to everything else.
Thx! That sounds great! Japanese original Force of Will's sounds like a dream come true :)Quote:

I can't read Japanese, but I think these alters were made before fow was printed in Japanese:Quote:

Wow, those look great!
According to the url of the image they were probably made by pavorandom , hosted on deviantart : http://00-pavorandom-00.deviantart.c...21359#comments
Maybe I should send him a message :)
Btw, Japanese mana drains : http://00-pavorandom-00.deviantart.c...ains-513021155 O_o
That reminds me, I actually contacted the guy that did those alters looking to have a clone set made. Maybe I should message him again.
I just noticed the alters on elspeth and jace. They are gorgeous... What I don't really get is why you pay more money for a card to be in Japanese, to cover 90% of the text with paint. Shouldn't make more sense to buy an English one and do the same also changing the name to Japanese? (or did you already do that?)
Not many people can copy the text to Japanese and make it look pretty. And the Japanese versions of those cards aren't that much more expensive.Quote:

That would be Calvin. His store is Black Magic Gaming.
Isn't changing the name one of the few things you can't do when altering a card?Quote:

- The topic of the art should respect the original topic of the art in order to be recognizable
- The topic of the art should be kids friendly (not pr0n)
- The border of the card should be the original (don't alter the border from white to black, or to yellow, or to green, etc.)
But when you go to a tournament, the HJ is the final responsible of deciding which alters are playable.
Judges near where I live don't really care about card names (Most of the players here can't read Japanese, Chinese, Russian, etc. , so having the name of the card is useless to us), and the main filter they use is to show the altered card to an experienced player during ~1 second. If he/she can recognize the card, it's playable. I think it makes more sense.
This is key to remember. I've been to tournaments where the HJ basically didn't allow anything beyond sharpie alters. He even told people that he wasn't allowing alters. Quite a dicking for legacy players. I honestly felt at that point that it'd be better to ask forgiveness during a judgecall than permission from the HJ.Quote:
