Garruk Relentless Checklist Alter

Another commission. Not sure what the commissioner will think about this though...I really went freestyle doing this and did not really care much about the overall quality of the alter. I just wanted to know how something like this can end up.

I used Spoon02's Garruk as reference.

Restoration Angel

There's about one Restoration Angel alter what I like and find good so I was wondering how mine would end up. Yeah, I'm not that precise and not that good at doing nice lines. Erm...Changing my mind on BSA. This one ended up much worse.

EDIT: I brought them to the commissioner and he liked them a lot. They found their place in his Naya midrange deck.

Boros Charm Alter

Personally I have no idea how Boros painted this. The angle is too alien for me. So I tried my best making it look not bad. Here is it...I have another Boros Charm primed and I'd like to try something completely different. Let's see how it ends up. So for the time being there's extended borders Boros Charm.

Baneslayer Angel Alter

I always wanted to alter BSA but at that time the card cost 70 USD and that was a bit too much for me. The BSA illustration is beautiful and I always wondered were Greg Staples comes with the ideas. I couldn't do the card justice, I should try later once again (but that would also mean getting the card, it's out of stock o_O)^_^. At least I managed to figure out the greenish/reddish color on her...I also used a toothpick to get nice round dots this time and it worked wonders!! ^_^ Why this idea did not come to my mind earlier?

Stoneblade vs BUG Tempo

I guess this has happened to anyone. You draw your seven cards, look at them and wonder how the hell this combination of cards could have happened. And then some of you want to try it out. There are hands that actually work pretty well but sometimes it is simply completely wrong like keeping a hand that looked like - Phyrexian Tower, Wasteland, Volrath's Stronghold in a three colored deck playing against land destruction. I actually managed to play few black spells during that game before my colorless mana base was destroyed^^.

Anyway not so long ago with my BUG deck I once had a hand that looked like this: Hymn To Tourach, Hymn To Tourach, Snapcaster Mage, Underground Sea, Underground Sea, 2x Fetchlands. I played against High Tide and I knew that this would most probably be an overkill for my opponent. I played my first Hymn. That one got countered. I played second one, it resolved. I drew yet one more Hymn which I played and it also resolved. Then I played Snapcaster Mage on the Hymn and the game was pretty much over. I guess my opponent won't have nice memories of the game.^_^

Something similar but not so evil happened few days ago. I played Stoneblade against my own BUG deck. I kept a hand with 3x Inquisition of Kozilek, Swamp, Plains, Sensei's Divining Top and Stoneforge Mystic. I played the first discard spell and a hand with three spells that I did not like much was shown to me - Force of Will, Daze, Ponder, Abrupt Decay and Tombstalker (and lands). I discarded Ponder. The second Inquisition hit Abrupt Decay and the last one hit Daze so I could play my Stoneforge Mystic and win later. The game in the end was quite fun because my Mystic was incapable of beating my opponent fast enough. But this hand worked.

But still nothing can beat my no lander from the last Highlander tournament. Three of my mana sources that I got during the game got destroyed and I still could have won the game if I managed to get a land one turn earlier. Unfortunately it did not happen but it was the most epic game ever.
