How do you print the cards?
Do you print them on individual blank cards? If yes how do you do that? or
Do you print them on paper and cut them out then put them in sleeves with a common or land?

If one were interested, there are plenty of YouTube videos of how to make high quality proxies. However, my methods (or lack there of?) is a trade secret. ConanEdo can let you know his findings once his Altered Dromar arrives next week or so.

This contest may be over, due to lack of enthusiasm. I believe I've written my own flavor text sufficient enough to fulfill my desires.

Awww

I thank everyone who participated. I don't know what exactly happened with this contest vs. the last one. Maybe the subject matter wasn't as interesting, or the incentives weren't as good. I will not give up hope. I shall return!

If it makes anyone feel better, I picked up the {Karmic Guide} judge foil. So no alter required.

Not really

What card would everyone like to see an alter of? What would be an interesting character to bring to life?

I don't run either of those in my EDH deck. It'd be silly of me to alter, solicite flavor text then print them for the winner.

you asked what everyone would like to see an alter of. I was just answering what I'd like to see

If I swapped the Art on Karmic Guide to Angel of Serenity, would that be sufficient? I'm desperately trying to foil out my EDH deck. I'm more then halfway done.

Its loosely based around the narrative of {Dromar, the Banisher} trying to obtain {Omniscience} after being corrupted. The white part of him trying to restore balance with the help of angels. The black making him want to seize power and destroy with {Tendrils of Agony}.

The flavor text is really the only thing that can resemble a story, and mostly it's related to Dromar himself. So I tried to incorporate a pillow fort to thematically resemble some kind of protective field to veil Dromar from aggression, so that he isn't provoked to use Tendrils.

Application of it is obviously to help me win an actual game, and then combo out. The story element is just the inevitability of the deck, once Dromar does obtain Omniscience he will use it for evil purposes. It is what fueled his journey to begin with, and the angels were wrong to believe they could convince him to let go of such power.

That's a serious accusation...:D what about those FF7 soldiers, Assasin's Creed Assasins, Mist Raven, cat and Centaur Token...:P

Arts was probably a better place for this. I'd commission an alter if you've got the spare time. PM me a price and what you need from me.
