Title: Alternate art legality
Post by: Clearmario on May 20, 2012, 04:01:42 PM
If I use acetone to get rid of all of a foil but the text box and name, then use the process with the clear paper to make an alternate art card/proxy, since the original text box and name is still there would the card be tournament legal?

Okay didn't read all that.

That would not be legal.

Official DCI sanctioned events don't allow proxies, so for the places that do, I think it is up to them.  I don't know much about proxies myself, but here's what wiki has to say:

I think it'd still be legal because the text box and name are still there, that's what I've been told anyway

Okay so if I had an artist (for argument's sake, not the original artist) alter the set on a card is it still tourney legal?
