o i saw the method from cardsrfun that why i try out the method ...the method is very nice you cant see the chipping issue .. it is best if you colour one card by one card that will be better ..one thing i dun like is the smell that will be left at the deck after the sharpie method

The marker smell diminishes over time, but never completely disappears. It's not such a big deal after a while - it just takes a good amount of time for the ink to fully air-dry when it gets soaked into the card edge. Don't try to rush the process with heat or sunlight - you might damage the finish and warp the cards.

Just went a grab my shadow masters and a sharpie, lots of work here I come

totally looks worth it though

I always thought the edges were kinda breaking the flow of any black deck... Those black edges looks so sleek

I'll probably try it on my shadow masters once I get them too.

The final product looks sick!!! now it just depends on the sharpie.. will try on a black deck soon (: perhaps black rider or ghost like CBJ did!

This is a great idea. I did this years ago with my shadow masters, it just looks 100x better! I haven't done it recently, but I'd be interested to see what a different color, like red would look like. Can someone post pics?

The only way you could do red, is if both sides of the cards were full-bleed red. Just like you can't black sharpie a white deck.

But I am curious to see if it turns out... anybody want to crack open the Red Deck from MagicMakers?

I was going to suggest using the Red Deck from MagicMakers, until I remembered it has normal red rider backs, so it'd have a white border rather than a red one.
But, would the deck really need both sides to be full-bleed red? I thought the only probably with using black Sharpie on a white deck was the fact that the ink 'leaked' a bit, and showed on the front and back of the card. So, why not use a black deck like Shadow Masters? Surely the red ink 'leaks' would be hidden by the fact that the deck has full-bleed black on both sides. The only problem would be doing it on a white bordered deck, where the red ink would be visible.

Yeah, you can't draw on a black card and have a lighter color show up. If you did red on the sides only the actual edge of the card which is white would become red, it wouldn't be the same as a white deck and black edges.

Don Boyer · « **Reply #35 on:** January 11, 2012, 01:53:21 AM »

Magic Makers made a "sequel" to the Red Deck with a reversed-red back and all the same cards, so now front and back are red to the bleed. Someone could red-marker those edges just fine...

Red marker might not necessarily work on a black deck. Remember, there's WHITE chipping damage that the black markings are hiding. If they're red, they're not really hidden on a black deck, are they?

But red chipping would still look cooler than white chipping.

Oh, and here's what my shadow masters look like with the black edges:

The deck looks good. The photos, not so much... Focus is everything!

The red chipping would still show - better or worse, doesn't matter, since black beats them both hands down on a black deck.

Wanna try something wild? Take a colored marker other than red and color in the white parts of the black-suited cards with it! But don't blame me if the handling goes out the window. Just use a "dead" deck that's been around a little too long.

moonexe · « **Reply #38 on:** January 11, 2012, 04:30:34 AM »

The pictures were taken with my iPod, so can't focus.

I might actually try to sharpie the edges of my Bee deck blue, just for the sake of experimentation.

Now, imagine stingers with red edges. I'm sure the fans would look amazing.

I don't recommend coloring the edges of a white deck with marker. The marker will show and look terrible. The only way to do that well is to apply the marker with a HIGH degree of precision in order to get no ink on the card faces or backs. And the Stingers will probably look worse than if you did it to Diamond Backs; they have a white border for a reason. Who wants to destroy an expensive deck like that?

If you insist on trying it out, start with the ad cards or perhaps the jokers, just as a proof of concept. One or two cards may be all you need to realize that it's going to look terrible or totally awesome.
