Heard there might be another winter storm this coming weekend for my area. In response, I would like to play a Grumpy Cat Counterspell, and send that storm away.

Reveal # 5 - "Vivi Ornitier"
I was a little disappointed to not see Vivi artwork by Yoshitaka Amano in this set. With a little bit of googling I found his character designs of Vivi, and took on the challenge to try to recreate the stylistic character on the card.

So, I'm altering this card. Pulled fresh from the Pre-con. Noticed that the foil stamp is messed up. If this was your card, would you want the foil stamp left alone or would you prefer it to be painted over? #magicthegathering #mtg #mtgalters

First alter of the new year! However, this one was painted in 2025. Still have a few to share from 2025. Rain from Spirit Stallion of the Cimarron on Crested Sunmare - hand painted Magic the Gathering Alter. #mtg #magicthegathering #mtgalters

Out of 150+ alters painted this year, it was hard to pick a favorite top 8. So here are a few alters from throughout the year. Next year is year of the horse! I got a feeling it might be a lucky one for Baypaintstudios.
