SK Altered

A thread of recent before-and-afters. I always enjoy seeing the wide range of effects that the same simple materials—acrylic paint—can achieve: 1/x

Completed “Witches” Counterspell playset 🎃 Do you have a fav?

Spooky season begins 🧙‍♀️🧙‍♀️🧙‍♀️ Henry Fuseli’s “The Three Witches” (1783), hand painted onto an unlimited Counterspell.

I had the idea for this silly card.

Counterspell 2 of 4, after a 17th-century Italian painting with mixed attributions. I love all the witchy details throughout the scene, and again, the echo of Mark Poole's OG art in the pose of the figure here. #mtgalters #mtgalter #mtgcommunity #spookyseason

Alters are gamepieces AND art… so any pano has to work as individual elements too

Counterspell, after Angelo Caroselli’s circa 1620 “Scene of Sorcery.” Part of the storytelling in my alters is thinking about how the MTG art that is overpainted is still in our minds when looking at an alter; here, it’s that classic Mark Poole shocked face/gesture, by different means.

So stoked to have card alters get some real love here, introducing this corner of the game to a much wider audience! Thank you Prof and thank you @bobbiechristine.bsky.social 🥰 Here's my latest... not finished in time for the video, but I'm really pleased with how this panorama came out.

Mystic Remora, hand painted after Utagawa 🐟

Obviously the Zeta set is right up my alley (Painted this baddie last year)

Painted this for the Premodern Super league last year, so it has a special place in my heart 💙 (The muse cycle offering lotus petals over the altar of dementia)

AC stopped working, verdict is in. Whole HVAC replacement. If anyone wants to buy a Hidden Hideout mystery alter (I have 5 available at $150) or sign up for an October completion date alter let me know! 😅 Past Hidden Hideout alter for attention

Looking back to this Elvish piece after the Hobbit pre-release weekend ✨ #mtgalter #lotr

Vintage Magic the Gathering art! What a surprise to learn that an unpublished oldie for Magic finally gets a release! There are a couple more in their archive that have yet to see the light of day, so you never know.🤞

Someone wanna check on @wachelreeks.com 🤣

Me reading all of these Mystery Booster 3 cards:

15th century (!) cardboard Ready for ye olde prerelease

Working on something special… 🪷 So far, painted beta borders and priming. Stay tuned

Coming soon… 😁

Thinking about this “Elvish Language” swap Sol Ring I painted last year— Happy Hobbit Spoiler Season!

Rest in power Candelabra 💪🏼✨

RIP 💜

Never thought this would be an EDH alter, but hey! :)

Here is the segment. Get on it Magic community. Need to see a Casual Magic interview and a Shuffle Up and Play with her stat! youtu.be/5sg9awJFZ0c?...

“I’ll Pyroblast that Mistmeadow Witch from your mono white deck” Feels weird. @bmkibler.bsky.social points out this nonsense, among other things, in his well reasoned video, linked below ⬇️

Obviously answer

No major changes to the Brackets this time, but we've been working on clarifying some of the ~*vibes~* around each Bracket, including adding "safe turns" and delineating expectations for decks, win conditions, and gameplay. We've also removed tutor restriction from 1 & 2.

🔜 eternal weekend Pittsburgh

Snapped this pic the last time I played Eternal Weekend (12-3 on Hogaak in Legacy, if I remember correctly...?) Coming back to my hometown this year for the festivities. If you're in town, give a holler!

Happy modern pro tour! Posting this one for REASONS
