Last year, I got into playing Magic: the Gathering and have built up my collection substantially and developed two fairly strong decks: one for Standard and one for Modern, along with 2 different Commander decks. As I've been playing I've been impressed and inspired by the art on the cards and to story of the Multiverse of MtG. I play a lot of Token strategies and have found some tokens difficult to find and Emblems for Planeswalkers are sometimes harder to find. To combat this, I at first shopped for some of them on various sites (ebay, StarCityGames, etsy, etc.) and I have noticed that some people offer custom emblems and tokens for MtG. I've bought a few of the emblems from one ebay store known as GNDAlters, but found it to be an expensive venture to do since they are based in Greece. I also found that some tokens just were not printed officially by Wizards of the Coast and customs are kind of pricey or difficult to find. As a way to combat this, I thought why not draw, design and print your own custom tokens for the cards you need. Then as I thought of that, I thought why not do several tokens, first just a few gift tokens for my local MtG playgroup and their decks. That thought developed into why not make tokens for all token generating cards in Standard (Post-Rotation) and offer one or two to others players at FNM and maybe talk with the local game stores about a possible partnership/investment into my token making business. I draw and print the tokens and provide them to the lgs to use as door prizes for their FNM and other events as well as to use with drafts or for sale and in return they pay about $5-10/month to invest in a new print of tokens.
I plan to work on some of these over the next week or so and was wondering if anyone who plays MtG would be interested in buying some of my tokens as a commissioned piece.
