Alters are just painted over cards. Grab some acrylics and tiny brushes, and go to town. Just remember, if it's too thick, you might not be able to play it in a tournament.

MTG alters are basically customized artwork on the surface of Magic The Gathering cards. Artists use a variety of mediums like acrylic paints, fine tip markers, or even digital printing for alterations. They start by planning the design, sometimes sketching directly on the card or nearby. Then they carefully paint or draw over the card, enhancing or completely changing the original artwork. It requires a steady hand and a good eye for detail to make these mini masterpieces!

Actually, some folks use Photoshop and a printer for what's called a 'proxy alter,' which is a way to get a custom design without touching a paintbrush. Not as authentic, but definitely easier for the digitally inclined.
