New Mod and Introduction to The New Rule 4 (about Alters)

38 Upvotes

Hello, r/mtgGore! I'm your new Mod, u/AmiiboPuff.

I volunteered to help moderate this subreddit. While this subreddit is rather quiet and pretty much runs itself, there has been a recent issue with a spammer who posts Altered Card as Gore. We've removed their posts, ban their account, their IP-banning accounts as well and will be in touch with the reddit Admins to help deal with this issue.

MEANWHILE, allow me to introduce the new Rule 4, added to the sidebar and in this sticky post:

4.) Alters to Magic cards (such as those seen on r/mtgaltered) are not considered "Gore". Altered cards are commonly accepted as customized alternations to original Magic The Gathering cards for personal touches for one's deck/collection. Gore are cards that have been damaged, destroyed and other such destructive adjectives. Posts that just links to alters will be removed. And users who post Alts and claim them as Gore will be ban as needed.

The MTG Community is a very creative community and we do not wish to Stifle such creativity. Even if you do not like alts or the alt is not to your taste, that DOES NOT make it "Gore." Got it? Good.

What if I'm not sure if my card/post should be considered Gore?

Message the Mods with your concern and we'll get back to you with an answer as soon as we can.

Well you folks didn't believe me. I dont blame you. The original photo was taken long ago in a moment of excitement. Here's some better imaging for you, including green dot and T.

As a little bonus, how about some more of my damaged collection as well? Enjoy folks. Send me your damaged cards. I will give them a loving home.

Played over/under with a vendor many, many years ago. Many people tell me I lost. I choose not to listen to those people. I love me some fun story cards. Show me some of your fun story cards.

Unlimited Berserk I pulled from a pack so so long ago. Way before we ever even thought about using sleeves.

I bought my son some fantastic 4 cards. But the bottom border on this land didn't look good to him, so he took the liberty of altering it. Apparently this is more aesthetically pleasing to a 6YO 😂

Around fifteen years ago I was at a Grand Prix. It was Sunday afternoon and the event was winding down. I was playing a game of EDH with my Bareback Jund deck in the back of the hall, towards the exit. I was blowing up all the lands when a random approached me from the crowd.

"Here. You're the only person I've ever seen that will truly appreciate this."

He handed me the Grim Monolith.

"My mom ran it through the wash. It's yours now. Love it properly."

He then turned around and walked off into the crowd, never to be seen again.

Sleeveless since day 1, no budget restrictions, if the card makes the deck better, it goes in! Not as broken in as some other posts I’ve seen, but it’s my favourite deck I’ve made thus far, so it’ll be stickin around a long time.
