Proxies

I have been asked for a proxy for time walk, and I also found a boatload more art for Library that I think are all better than the previous ones. Again, let me know which ones you guys are into, and they might become reality!

Proxies

The reaction to the mox proxies Justin made was good, so I thought I would take a crack at making proxies for the other expensive cards we don't have: Ancestral Recall, Engineered Explosives, Forcefield, Library of Alexandria, Mana Drain, and Tarmogoyf. I tried a bunch of different art for each, and used either normal or extended art layouts, and what follows are the ones I liked the best. Let me know what your thoughts are!

Proxies

In a completely unrelated note to the new additions, I have another topic of interest.

Justin has been working on proxies for the moxes and lotus using Volkan Baga's alternate art (see below) and has brought to my attention that it is possible to put these onto actual magic carstock according to the process outlined in this video:

I went into lab yesterday and removed the ink from some junk foil commons I got doing a foil shards draft, and they look like this:
I can also remove the foiling entirely, which looks like this:
Firstly, I just thought these looked cool and wanted to show them. Second, I am going to make more, and I was wondering if people preferred foil or nonfoil? What are thoughts?

And finally, here's the alternate Mox art I promised above, made by Justin:
Volkan Baga is going to finish Sapphire soon.

Response

Justin makes some good points, in addition, so he does not think im insane:

Elite Vanguard, Savana Lion, and Sixth Pride in

Marshal's Anthem, Abolish, and Debt of Loyalty out

Plaxmanta, Welken Tarn, Horizon Drake, and Sejiri in

Time Spiral, Morphling, Rainbow Efreet, and Sift out

Hull Breach in

Savage Twister out

Swerve in

Cerebral Vortex out

Response

After looking over the list that Max posted, looking at Gatherer, and talking with the guys at GoB we came up with these 5 creatures that we liked:

Rainbow Efreet

Wall of Frost

Infiltrator Il-Kor

Morphling

Fathom Seer

I do like adding more creatures to Blue, and while some of these have come in and gone out in the past, now that we are looking for more creatures I think some of them should get another shot.

A few other changes that Max wanted:

Sylvan Scrying instead of Crop Rotation

He wanted Zealous Persecution instead of Identity Crisis, I think this is a good idea, but I like the idea of trying Orzhov Pontiff instead, it has legs.

I orded a ton of the new cards, so the Cube should be mostly finished... for the second time.
