Customization is a large part of the culture surrounding EDH, a format of Magic the Gathering where players build a deck around a legendary creature. People spend thousands of dollars procuring special versions of cards for their deck, getting alterations painted on them, and getting them signed by the card’s artist. There’s a popular website for housing player’s decklists called Tapped Out. People here go hog-wild customizing their profile pages and deck lists, usually resulting in an experience reminiscient of Myspace circa 2005. One user, however, posted some cool images of scattered cards that he took with his camera and used them as banners on his deck page. I thought it was neat, well executed, and then forgot about it for several years.
