Title: Dudecore's WoW themed EDH Foil peels!
Post by: Dudecore on November 05, 2014, 07:26:12 PM
Any WoW nerds? I've got a list of WoW TCG foils I've acquired, and think I'm going to Foil peel them onto MtG foils as alters. See: Sedris, the Traitor King alter (http://i.imgur.com/WdiRHeM.jpg)

Here's the list, if you could help me pair them with their counterparts in the deck that'd be awesome. Keep in mind not all WoW foils peel, and some of these arts don't exactly work, but here goes:
Anduin Lothar (http://www.wowcards.info/card/timewalkers/en/1/Anduin-Lothar)

Hakkar the Houndsmaster = Flayer of the Hatebound (http://i1317.photobucket.com/albums/t625/Dudecore2012/unnamed_zpsb609bb50.jpg) finished today! I just have to paint the top of the card to keep the flames going.

Gul'dan = Balthor the Defiled (http://i1317.photobucket.com/albums/t625/Dudecore2012/unnamed_zps6d88a590.jpg) is done. did not come out perfect. I've got some more experimentation and expertise to go. but so far they're coming along fairly well!

The Lich King = Nekusar, the Mindrazer (http://i1317.photobucket.com/albums/t625/Dudecore2012/52f90f1a-d431-4182-9d15-ee91f652f8e6_zps833032a7.jpg) is done. I would give it about a 8/10. My new cutting method is working wonders.

Grom Hellscream as {Zurgo Helmsmasher}
Ner'Zhul as {Sek'Kuar Deathkeeper}

Also, not a WoW fan, I hate WoW. I love Warcraft RTSs, and all of the lore that accompanies the world. In my opinion, Warcraft lore has some of the deepest and most rich storytelling I've ever seen in a game franchise. The War of the Ancients trilogy is still among my favorite collections of fictional literature.


I'll continue adding down here:

•Illidan Stormrage as {Rhys the Exiled}

•Malfurion Stormrage as {Nath of the Gilt Leaf}

•Tyrande Whisperwind as {Mayael the Anima}? (Flavor is a bit off here, but the card feels soft enough  and she kinda rides a massive white tiger.)

•Cho'Gall as {Brion Stoutarm}

•Illidan the Betrayer as {Griselbrand}?? (His power level after the transformation is seriously off the wall)

Also, seeing more of a {Malfegor} vibe for Mannoroth to be honest.

Lady Vashj and Queen Azshara not being Naga is kinda throwing me off, no help there, sorry.

•Uther Lightbringer as {Rafiq of the Many}

That's about all I can think of, Thrall is hard. I noticed there is no Grom, so he can always just be Zurgo, but that's a major flavor miss. Also wanted to find a good one for Medivh, I was honestly thinking {Jace the Mindsculptor}. Medivh is one badass mothah suckah. He's an extremely powerful shapeshifter. I think Archimonde as Bolas is spot on dude, I'm loving that one. This is fun =]

I should mention it's for this deck (http://imtgapp.com/forum/index.php?topic=40729.0). Mannoroth-the-Destructor would probably be a good {Malfegor} since the art is practically the same. I was just thinking that flavor is more important since I'm literally putting Warcraft art over the cards.

A big Trample thing with poison or wither would be good for Mannoroth, but I don't have a creature like that. Illidan doesn't strike me much as {Griselbrand}, although I can see him trading life for his magic obsessin (more cards). He is banned in Commander :[

•Illidan the Betrayed as {Rune Scarred Demon} (I think a powerful demon is honestly a good representation of him, once he goes to the dark side his power is pretty ridiculous)

•Ner'Zhul as {Doomed Necromancer} (The ability is actually pretty suiting)

•Medivh the Corrupted as either {Dack Fayden}, {Phyrexian Metamorph} or {Lazav, Dimir Mastermind}, leaning more towards Dack personally.

Also of you can ahold of an Abomination, {Fleshbag Marauder} all the way!

Well I've officially destroyed a promo {Consuming Aberration} and a Duel Deck {Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker}. The process is very difficult with foils, because they do not want to adhere.

So Archimonde and Mannoroth-the-Destructor have been nixed.
