As may be plain from my recent posts, I’ve been on an alternate art kick lately. My latest bear-brained scheme was to find and print alternate art for an entire deck. In this, the latest version of my Aggro Caldara deck seemed like a fine candidate. The archetype features some iconic characters, and it was an epic but thoroughly enjoyable task to hunt down good candidates for alternate art. I am particularly pleased with a few of the cards, which I will highlight here.
Some of the allies likewise came out looking quite nice.
Attachments, while not quite a critical to the deck, provided a nice opportunity to liven up the art. Sword-thain and Map of Earnil are two of my personal favorites.
Last but not least, we have the events which drive the engine of this deck. While I am pleased with all of them, Elven-light, Fortune or Fate and Hidden Cache stand out for me.
For anyone interested in printing these cards, here is a zip of the Strange Eons files. This project has been in the works for a while, so the cards were printed over a couple of different print runs, which means I unfortunately do not have a single Printer Studio project to link to. We’ll see about getting a Printer Studio batch as I probably need to slow down on the alternate art card printing for a little while, or they might run out of ink. I hope that you all enjoy these alternate art cards as much as I enjoyed designing them.
Wow!
Particularly like the Cirdan card really captures how I see one of my favourite lotr characters.
Looks great. I love the picture for Caldara and for Gamling. Did your most recent prints come out as bright as you had hoped?
Thanks, Paul. Yes, I lightened the images before sending them to PrinterStudio and they turned out even better than the first (unaltered) set. It’s a process, but I’m figuring it out as I go.
Thanks!!! Great work, I love your alternate art cards.
Can we have a Printer Studio link? Pleez? Love it!
I have not printed this deck out as a single print job on PrinterStudio, so unfortunately I don’t have a link for you yet. I’ll see if I can make one more print run and then provide that, but in the mean time you can take the linked zip of the images and submit them yourself.
Here are the Printer Studio links:

Looks like PrintStudio no longer does this work. Have you found an alternative site?
I the printerstudio link to work in 2021 just FYI
No, that link does not work any more.
