Show Us Your Best Card Alters!

Posted by KLGamer about 1 month ago

Hey everyone! I'm super into card alters and custom arts lately. Just wanted to start a thread where we can showcase our altered cards. I recently altered my favorite Lightning Bolt with a cool dragon theme, and I'm loving how it turns out! Anyone else here do some sweet alters? Also, if you're around Singapore, check out Games Haven - their alter artist has some mad skills! Can't wait to see what you all got!

Wah, nice thread! I did a custom art for my Tarmogoyf, added in some local flora and fauna. Looks super unique lah! If anyone keen to do trades for alters, let me know! By the way, anyone going to the Malaysia Championships this year? Maybe we can meet up and show off our alters there!

Alters ah? I just finished one for my Nicol Bolas, put in some batik patterns. Makes it look so local! Anyone knows where to find supplies around? Maybe Grey Ogre Games has them? Plus, I think alters will really help in the upcoming Indonesia Open - gotta make our decks stand out, right?

I love this thread! I’m working on altering my Planeswalkers, giving them a more Southeast Asian vibe. I find inspiration from local culture - like using batik and wayang kulit designs. Hope to showcase them at Flagship Games during our next meet-up. Let's make our cards shine like the sun here, no? Haha!

Hey there! Loving the vibe of this thread! Altering cards is such a creative way to express ourselves. I recently did an alter for my Elspeth, Knight-Errant, giving her a tropical twist with some hibiscus flowers and a beach background. It reminds me of our sunny days at East Coast Park! If you're looking for supplies, I found some nice paints and brushes at Popular bookstore - they have a decent art section. Also, I think it’s a great idea to showcase these alters at our next Magic meetup at The Arena! Let’s make our decks not just powerful, but also visually stunning! Cheers to more creativity and fun games under the hot sun!

Hey friends! I totally vibe with this! Altering cards is such a fun way to show off our personality and culture. I recently did a sweet alter on my Tarmogoyf, turning it into a lush rainforest creature with vibrant greens and local wildlife. It really pops and reminds me of the beautiful jungles here in Malaysia! For supplies, I usually hit up Art Friend or Popular - they always have good stuff for our projects. And speaking of meet-ups, I’m looking forward to the next one at The Arena! It’s always a blast playing together, even when the weather is scorching! Can’t wait to see everyone’s creations, let’s keep the creativity flowing! Cheers!

Hey there! This thread is really bringing out the creativity in our community! I’ve been experimenting with alters too—just finished a custom art on my Snapcaster Mage, turning it into a cyberpunk character that fits perfectly with my futuristic deck. It’s so satisfying to see how a little paint can transform a card! For those looking for supplies, I highly recommend checking out Art Friend in Bras Basah; they have everything from paints to fine brushes. And yes, we definitely should showcase our alters at our next gathering! The last meetup at The Arena was a blast, and I can't wait to see what everyone else has been working on. Let’s keep inspiring each other and make our decks as unique as we are. Cheers, and see you all soon under the sun!
