Giveaway: Basic Lands but as Playing Card Aces
Serving suggestion.
Keepable seven?
A bunny in the plains, a cat in the forest, a goat on the mountain.
Hand-printed = unified style but each card's unique :P
Y'all get twenty of each.
Winner: Bad Pun Red Card
Donation drive raised: $3,041.22
From an alternate timeline where the five symbols of Magic: the Gathering's mana system were developed alongside the four card suits -- diamonds, clubs, spades, and hearts -- come these alters of basics! They appear to have been sanded down from regular Magic cards, rolled over with white ink, and then had the designs applied with black ink.
Hand-printed / letterpressed with some photopolymer plates and a thing called a "Stamparatus". They do have the Magic card backs, but I would personally call them "sleeve playable."
Treat them like you would a book or other paper product, of course. Contact with water will possibly create a huge time anomaly.

There's so many things that are just so innately satisfying when going from an idea to something that exists in reality. The stuff you learn and the techniques you pick up along with the fact you made something that didn't exist before -- those things can never be taken away from you.
Make stuff, be generous, stay curious.
