The Gathering Magic Playmat Vote

Reddit

"I love Gathering Magic! Where can I get sleeves or a playmat?"

We're all fans. Whether Gathering Magic is just one of the many (awesome) Magic sites you visit, or it's the place you call home every day, all of us are fans of the game. We're passionate about the cards we use, the places we play, and the stuff we have with it all. I backed Marshall Sutcliffe's Limited Resources Kickstarter because the cast is awesome and I could score sweet new sleeves for my cube. I have a custom art "blinged-out" armored Rhox that gets more details added to it every time I run into Matthew Stewart. I have a pile of playmats from events across the US since I compulsively pick one up from almost every event I go to.

And based on the sheer variety of playmats out there I can't be alone in collecting a pile of sweet swag to use.

It's taken a few years to get to today, but I'm pleased to announce Gathering Magic is finally getting a custom playmat produced. With a limited run to be available exclusively at this year's Gen Con, and an unlimited run available later in the fall, if you've wanted the chance to share your love or show your support for the site the chance will be here soon.

Before this becomes reality though, we need art. Andre Garcia, the artist behind Conquest of Speros and some HC&D supplies artwork, is giving his time and talent to make it happen.

Below are four different sketches, each representing a different creature type in Magic. While they're all awesome in their own ways, only one can become a playmat in time for Gen Con. Take a look at each of the pieces, and the mood descriptions Andre has for them, then vote for the one you want to see made the most.

Voting will close in 48 hours on Tuesday, June 10, 2014.


Angel: She's charging down from a bright, golden sky, her face slightly obscured and her eyes glowing in righteousness.


Goblin: Too curious to leave things alone, and too dim-witted to know when he's in danger, this brave goblin is about to make his greatest (and final) discovery.


Saproling: This little woodland warrior wears an armored trunk covered in mysterious, glowing runes as he silently stalks the edge of his forest home. Human interlopers overlook him due to his size, a dangerous oversight few live to recant.


Zombie: Hanged for crimes unknown, he was reanimated while swinging from a branch. He managed to bring the branch down, wielding it as a weapon against those who wronged him.


Voting will end promptly around midnight Tuesday, June 10, 2014 Eastern time. Check back Wednesday to find the winner!
