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.

Had the wonderful opportunity to redo an old alter from 2019 (2019 alter on left, 2025 alter on right)! Is it too soon to post Winter Themed Holiday cards?

Anybody build a commander deck around the Furby secret lair yet? I want to build a five color deck that includes all of the Furby cards. I'm thinking Kenrith as the commander. (unless anyone else has any other suggestions?)
