LOL! Man those are great!

You definately need to do Ahnuld, Lapdog Blair, Rupert Murdoch and at least one televangelist.

The cannot be the target of physical attacks doesn't quite work in MtG. Anyway, there wasn't enough room on the card.

Iraqi Information Minister! Now you too can loudly proclaim useless information in a loud voice as you marshal your forces. The picture is a bit grainy, but I chose it because he has a lot of microphones in front of him. It's not the information minister if he doesn't have a ridiculous number of microphones.

Edit: and here is the bastard of Baghdad:

Since he was requested:

And lapdog Blair.

Why white? Just getting tired of all the black and red, and I hadn't made a white card yet. So there.

And asshol... err... kickass tough g... umm.... controversial bloke Galloway.

*Steals the lot.*

Hillary Clinton

When Hillary Clinton comes into play, destroy all video games.

Pay blue to send out campaign contribution requests with attached ridiculously biased surveys.

0/1 (since I know you're going to do it anyway)

What about this.

U.S.A Constitution (3)

Legendary artefact.

Tap: Target solider or politician can not tap this turn.

If George W Bush II comes in to play or is in play sacrifice U.S.A Constitution.

Because I am board I did a very quick example of what I mean

Also are you just photo shopping pictures and text in to pre existing magic cards gotten from a web site or some other method. If the former what program exactly are you using. Its just i can’t get me text clear using photo house.

Note though that this is a work in progress, so they may change a tad as I improve them.

On that score, I NEED QUOTES!! Anyone with an appropriate quote for some of these suckers?

And yes, I know that the formatting still sucks on some of these guys.

Ah, yes. Hillary....

Well, of course. Wankers will be wankers.

Besides, politicians don't operate in the front lines. They coordinate the others making them more effective.

Oops, did I say more effective? <heh, heh>

EDIT: on a side note, I do recognize that some of these suckers might in fact be remotely useful. Galloway and Bin Laden might actually be usable in a regular game and Cheney, Kennedy and Rowe possibly as well (Arnie is just too expensive). I may have to do something about that...

"Our enemies are innovative and resourceful... and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we." Might be too long, but I think this one really is Bush in a nutshell.

EDIT: Oh, you already have one for him. Never mind. :p

"The great story here for anybody willing to find it, write about it and explain it is this vast right-wing conspiracy that has been conspiring against my husband since the day he announced for president." -- Hillary Rodham Clinton

Sorry, couldn't resist.

Zentei, what program are you using?
The one I have can't seem to fit more than a dozen words of text.

Keep this up; this is freaking brilliant...

Faram · Post by **Faram** » 2005-09-09 02:34am

It really needs Michael Moore.

I will se if I can find a fun quote.

Any time you got the Pope and the Dixie Chicks against you, your time is up.

As for effect. I think of somthing

I have several.

"Fuck all these small businesses, fuck 'em all. Bring in the chains." -- Michael Moore, in reference to small business owners being "rednecks" who "run the town" and "suppress the people."

But there's always the classic:

"There is no terrorist threat." -- Michael Moore

Mister fatso:

As for which program I use, it is called "Dante's Magic Card Maker". It is (or was) possible to download it for free, though that may have changed. I'm currently mulling over whether or not to spend the $10 neccesary to get a better program...

"Fuck all these small businesses, fuck 'em all. Bring in the chains." -- Michael Moore, in reference to small business owners being "rednecks" who "run the town" and "suppress the people."

I am surprised that even Michael Moore could be this dumb.

Lord Zentei · Post by **Lord Zentei** » 2005-09-09 03:47pm

And Hillary.

I might be able to fit more "abilities" in there if the quote were shorter. Oh, well.

DrkHelmet · Post by **DrkHelmet** » 2005-09-09 04:43pm

Feedback please~

If anyone knows how to make the picture clearer, I'm all ears.

Lord Zentei · Post by **Lord Zentei** » 2005-09-09 04:49pm

I was considering the following picture for Hillary:

Meh, too busy.

Noble Ire · Post by **Noble Ire** » 2005-09-09 05:36pm

Dark Helmet, that should probably be an artifact.

I thought about that, but it's not really that old, and since it grows and changes over time, I figured it was closest to a creature.

Lord Zentei do you mind us posting our own cards in this thread or do you want to keep it for your politicians?

Hmmm.

Well, I suppose that it would be a bit arrogant to hog all the bandwidth. Just as long as the cards here remain more or less a spoof of politics and such.

Yeah I should have asked before I started throwing cards up here. Sorry about that. I just enjoyed the concept too much to pass up making a couple of my own.

Thanks for linking the program, by the way.
