I print high-res color on semi-gloss photo paper, then use a roller thing to glue it to a shitty common.  I also go over the paper's edge with a Sharpie first.  t's more expensive, but I'm a visual person, so it's worth it.
2  Vintage Community Discussion / General Community Discussion / Do you cut the corners on CE cards? on: March 31, 2010, 04:15:41 am
I love CE.  There's just nothing like mint black-bordered cards with the original artwork.  I hate, however, those ugly square corners.  So I cut them, very carefully, including my Power. 

Some people I play with assert that I'm ruining my cards. I disagree.  In an opaque sleeve, a well-cut CE is nearly indistinguishable from an Alpha or Beta.  It's beautiful--better looking than "real" Unlimited Power in my opinion.  Personally, I value a well-cut CE card equal to (or higher) than an uncut one; like altered card art, pimping modifications are extra.  (Obviously, a mangled cut lowers the value.)

Do y'all cut your CE?

Here's another idea: make Collector's Edition tournament legal.  Since they're already out there, Wizards could essentially release a manageable amount of Power and duals into circulation without actually printing anything.  The CE cards are already valuable and rare.  Obviously, they'd have to be played in opaque-backed sleeves, but so does Alpha.  And there's precedent for making a non-tournament set legal in Portal.  And the cards themselves are freaking beautiful....

I just found my old Shahrazad and want to build a deck around her, preferably one that's multiplayer friendly.  That is, I want something that makes for an interesting and unusual experience but is not unreasonably annoying.  Any ideas?
