Magic the Gathering RWS


This week I happened upon an eBay auction for a Magic the Gathering deck that is an altered RWS. The deck is apparently printed with black borders and had a Magic the Gathering logo on the back. I downloaded the images from the auction, but I'm not interested enough in the deck to start bidding on it at $69.99 or BuyItNow for $129.99....

There are 8 images, so I'll upload them in two posts.

I like them but the printing doesn't look legal even, is it just me or do they look like they are fakes? They are lovely don't get me wrong but, something looks wrong.

Hi Gracie2k, the 8th attachment is the only one that shows the back.

I could do that with my printer, my scanner, my kid's Magic cards, and my RWS altered deck... LOL And cheaper... ;D

I agree with the comments so far. It looks like a scanned RWS deck with black borders added.. Not for me and certainly not at that price. I think the RWS deck is one deck that looks better with small, white borders too.

Still a huge thanks for the share for taking to do that and put the pics up, it's nice to know it even exists out there.

It'd be most interesting if it was the inverse, but someone would get the pants sued off them by Wizards!

Hmmm. I had a fairly large collection of Magic the Gathering cards (used to play with my son). I'm failing to see the connection between these images and the Magic universe. Somebody help me out here
