LOL - haven't seen that in forever

It is not real - the image was used for a spoof piece in an old Duelist article (Card Spotlight: Islands by Chris Page). The article talks about how blue is too overpowering in MtG and so they're going to ban islands to help make it fair. In addition, it goes on to talk about how the first 2% of the AN printing had all 5 lands, thus creating this rare card. This "supposed" card won't be affected by the banning, because it is an "islands", rather than "island". Funny piece - well worth the read. You can find it in Duelist #10 (May 1996). Hope that helps!!!

Take it easy,
Jared

Does anyone want me to paint one?
I'll need to pick up a beta island, but it'd be pretty damn cool.

i've got that duelist.... i'll have to look for it....does anyone want me to scan the article?

yawg, if you can do it on a japanese BB 4th ed. island, i'd be interested in one, depending on price...

I understood that there was a physical spoof piece/card in the Duelist #10, but now I have doubts...

Could you make it look just like this one?? With the AN symbol...
I would be interested too, depending on the price

Sorry - no card with Duelist #10

Yawg - be sure to post pics of your finished product

I guess you'll need an AN card so as to have the symbol already.

Nah, I reproduce the symbol no problem.
If you'll notice, the clouds/colors are exact matches on one of the beta islands.

I can't wait to see the result.

As soon as it's finished you'll surely get some orders

So if you make 10 the price is less high as for 1 isn't it LOL

making 10 should still take 10x the amount of time to make, so I would sell them at the same price if I were making them.
