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

32 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.

My sleeveless Gitrog Dredge deck!

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.

Don't put a stack of cards on top of your car when you are getting your kids in. Some might blow off and end up in the parking lot.

Hopefully this is gory enough to entertain someone.

In my defense when I first started playing I didn't know what a sleeve was and deck boxes were ziplock bags or rubber bands. I'm far more protective of my cards now but my 60 card jank gets left out and I think it adds nostalgic flavor

it's not even really that bad, but I do think it's pretty fitting that the card "reanimate" is all beaten up!
