Revelen’s Light – MTG Altered Art

We’re a husband and wife pair of card alterists, painting altered art on trading cards. (Almost exclusively Magic: The Gathering, but we’re always open to suggestion.) We do get a bit backlogged at times, but we’re pretty much always open for new commissions!

You can email us about alters (or other stuff) at – RevelensLightAlters@gmail.com

Pricing

Pricing varies quite a bit from alter to alter. Since every alter can be completely unique, it’s hard to give an exact price without details. But, if you’d like to drop us a note about your plans, we can go from there.

Card Swaps for alters

Trading cards for alters is certainly something we can be talked into from time to time, in some cases; certain cool cards, some commander staples, lands, etc. It’s not always something we can swing, but if you’re interested, feel free to ask and we can see what we can do. 🙂


How long does it take?

It really depends. We pretty much always have a decent line-up of commissions going at any given time, so delays can vary, but we try not to get scheduled out too much more than a few months. For simple, single card commissions, we can sometimes squeeze them in sooner. When you contact us about alters, we’ll let you know about how much of a wait there is!


Do you take large commissions?

Yup! There’s no real limit on the size of your order, but depending on what other commissions we have going, a full EDH deck may end up taking a back seat to someone who only wants one or two simple alters. Large orders take a while, so sometimes there’s a bit of an extra wait.

Payment Options

When you decide to commission something from us, we can just send a simple Paypal invoice to your paypal-associated email. If you don’t have Paypal, we can get you an invoice that works with credit cards and assorted other methods.

Rules on Alter Legality

Are alters legal in competitive play? Technically yes, but it’s really all up to the judge. The upshot is that, with most alters, you’re probably fine at FNM, I wouldn’t bring them to the Pro-Tour, for everything else, check with the head judge first! Here are the official rules:

Latest DCI Policy on Tournament Legality:
MAGIC: THE GATHERING® TOURNAMENT RULES
Effective July 1, 2009
Section 3.3 Authorized Cards:

Artistic modifications are acceptable in sanctioned tournaments, provided that the modifications do not make the card art unrecognizable, contain substantial strategic advice, or contain offensive images. Artistic modifications also may not obstruct or change the mana cost or name of the card.

The Head Judge is the final authority on acceptable cards for a tournament
