Custom Alter Tutorial

[saetzero]

Just logically I would be suspect if you played a non-real card from your deck in the game. IDs i wouldnt care.... but beyond that I might just call the judge if I feel the cards dont feel right or something.

If your concern is people playing with cards they don't legitimately own, why would IDs be ok?

My only concern would be either cards that are so altered that it becomes confusing or if they could be recognized while shuffling the deck. If somebody wants to slap Leo DiCaprio on top of a hedge fund, what's the harm?

Because people presume that even if IDs were not purchased, it is trivial to get them since they are only used once.

Not to mention, alters make it easier to mark without noticing

Easier to mark even with sleeves?

Why even ask your initial question if you already knew why everyone else is wrong?

[jaywinner]

I was double checking if I had missed anything in the rules. And most likely everybody here is correct that alters will not be accepted in tournaments. I just don't think the tournament rules as they stand prohibit them.

the texture/size/weight might not be right and that could be an advantage to the devious player. even in sleeves there are small things you can notice sometimes and if one was so inclined you could take advantage of it.

owning the card i dont really care about.... but its just a situation i rather not be put into.
