Working on YET ANOTHER custom proxy I really like the idea of artwork showing the split between both realities and what better card in my Konstrari deck to represent that than "Parallel Lives" ? #MTG #WIP

WOTC, I beg you, partner with the Douglas Adams's estate to make “Hitchhiker’s Guide” Commander decks and my soul is… well, maybe not ALL of it, but you would definitely be on the board of directors for my soul

A magic Proxy I did a while ago, Froggy Chair Roaming Throne! #MTG

A custom art proxy of the MTG card 'Roaming Throne,' designed to look like the Froggy chair from Animal Crossing.

The card Reads:

Roaming Throne [4]

Artifact creature - Golem
-
Ward [2]

As this creature enters, choose a creature type.
This creature is the chosen type in addition to its other types.
If a triggered ability of another creature you control of the chosen type triggers, it triggers an additional time.

4 power / 4 toughness

BALLEN (Goober) @ballenart.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

Ive been toying with the idea of making an ENTIRE proxy of my Slime Agains Humanity deck, where all the artwork is related to Terraria Different slimes for each SAH, token doublers depicted as Water candles and bewitching tables, and Quina (the commander) as the Mystic Slime #MTG #Terraria

Interesting MTG Art (scary version 💀) @interestingmtg.bsky.social · 29/08/2026

A pretty sloppy proof of concept, but there's something here. The idea hit me as I was starting to crash, and I didn't think the execution through 100% If anyone else wants to take a shot at altering the Spider-Man cards using Through the Omenpaths art in the FRA Shattered Mirror style, go for it

The Magic card Superior Spider-Man, but with chunks of the MTG Arena card Kavaero, Mind-Bitten overlaid on top of it.

A Pikmin inspired custom magic card ! Red Onion ! #Pikmin #MTG

A Pikmin custom magic card called "Red Onion"

It is a Kindred Artifact, plant spacecraft that costs 3 colorless and 1 red mana.

It has a static ability that gives armies you control first strike.

When stationed to 3 or more, it can tap for red mana or to "pluck red 1".

When stationed to 10 or more, it becomes a 0/5 creature with flying and defender.
It can also tap to "Pluck red X" equal to a creature that died this turns toughness.

A Rules reminder card for the "Pluck" keyword, the card reads:

"To Pluck (Color) X, put X +1/+1 counters on an Army you control. It's also a plant and becomes that colour in addition to its other colors.
If you don't control an Army, create a 0/0 colorless Plant Army creature token first."

[OC] Stuart, The Unlucky ~ Me and some friends started doing weekly art challenges, the first one is to redesign our first TTRPG character as if we had made them now Exactly 10 years ago I was got to play 3 sessions of pathfinder and I played an Orc cursed by a witch to be invisible, it didn't work.

A bulky orc with transparent flesh, his bones, eyes and gooey innards are still visible. He's carrying a bundle of stolen weapons. He's wearing furs and leathers, his belt buckle has the word "luck" carved into it.
He's lurking through some darkened ruins at night. In the background you can see an enemy camp looking for their stolen weapons!

A wholly original magic the gathering card version of him.
His ability of stealing equipments comes from, in the game I played, the magic item he had that allowed him to steal weapons off of enemies's hands.

My Mendicant deck is getting more and more powerful as I’m upgrading it over time But I hadnt accounted for how it’s starting to feel too threatening too quickly for the pods I’m in I dont think I’d ever downgrade it, but its definitely pushing me to make my more gimmicky deck quicker

Been playing around with my Alibou, Ancient Witness deck on Moxfield so often now, and I think I've solidified scrying as my preferred way to manipulate my card draw It just feels good to know I can stack my deck for a great turn and any cards I put to the bottom I can get at any time in the future

Ive been putting together an Alibou, Ancient witness deck for a while now and the way you can just stack your deck for perfect draws from the scry you get off their trigger feels SO good Plus it’d be the perfect home for the Mjölnir I pulled at pre-release
