To me, pimping the cube is an art form. There's nothing quite like the 'oohs' and 'ahs' I get when a newcomer drafts my cube for the first time. I also love sitting down to a stranger's cube and rifling through all the fun foreign, altered and foil cards I wish I could own. The purpose of this thread is to show off the cards in your cube that give it character!
Maybe you have a full set of Japanese foil fetchlands, or maybe you have a Korean Mishra's Factory altered to look like the Keebler Elf Tree House. Maybe you just have a few nice, crisp Betas, Arabian Nights cards or foils worth showing off. No matter the case, post them here for all to see!
There are only a few small rules:
1. Use spoiler tags.
2. Try to keep the one liner comments to a minimum.
3. Post pictures!
So let's see those dark horse cards, sacred cows, staples, and theme cube cards you've worked so hard to acquire!
My girlfriend has recently done some alters on some cards, which I am very grateful for She is just getting started, but is getting better with every paintjob.
When I did a photo shoot for my cube I picked some of the foils that I felt represented the 8 categories in my cube. I also sorted out one foil of each of the basics I'm trying to get 30 of.

Did some trading tonnight. Normaly I would post this on my thread in order to bump it (I'm an attention whore). But now that we have this pimp thread I figured it would be a good place.
First of all is the new box I am storing my cube's basics in. I lvoe this thing so much. It has Charizard on one side, Venusaur on the other, and Snorlax on the back. I got the box for my Altered Squirtle Calcite Snapper.
Next is this nifty Magic the Gathering Braclet that is also a 250 Meg flash drive. It has a horrible learn to play magic demo instalation on it, but hey it was free.
The "boring" non foils. The Archangel is a card I'm trying out. That Legends Sylvan Library has been waiting to be in my cube for such a long time.
The exciting foils. Two foil Rav duals and a foil fetch land. I've been wanting a FNM Icy forever. That snapper will be altered to look like squirtle to replace the non foil one I had. Foil Vedalken Shackles is so sexy. I miss the blue border of my old proxy. I might have to paint that on. Arc Trail is another in a long line of good burn spells. And finally that Baneslayer will be good friends with my judge exalted.

And last but not least, can you believe I have 3 of these bad boys from back when they were in Type 2 and only one is in my cube. What to do with the other two???
i don't have the highest budget, but this is the pimpest stuff i got:
all but the weird jace are foil. i thought about putting in the mindsculptor, since just owning one is pimp for me. but the regular jace i have is much less ordinary.
When I see Healing Salve, I'm often like "Oh girl, I wish I could turn every card into this." Thanks they removed the gain life part, otherwise this would have been broken.
I pretty much feel this way when I look at some of the cubes on here.
I have some pretty pimp cards in my cube, but I still don't own a Mindsculptor. I always feel stupid thinking about paying $100NZ for a standard card. I mean seriously are you kidding me right now.

The basic work is mine but he did the finer detail. I've cleaned up the pencil work off the bottom of the guitar.
Any yellow on the jacket & glasses is gold paint and didn't really come out on the image.
If you play it, you're required to sing a snippet of Elvis for it to resolve.

so very nice I have a few of those but I also have a beta ankh:D
I approve. If it were up to me, though, I would have 'her' covered just a bit more.

Go to the Artwork forum, and visit the Altered Art thread. Find an artist there you like, and PM them about setting up a commission.
Or go to the ol' auction site, and search for "mtg painted" or "mtg altered" and bid on some stuff.

I cube, I play EDH, and I can't afford Legacy. The other formats can suck it.
I have some pretty pimp cards in my cube, but I still don't own a Mindsculptor. I always feel stupid thinking about paying $100NZ for a standard card. I mean seriously are you kidding me right now.
