Shorikai, Genesis Engine as EVA-01
Art Showcase - Physical Alter“Get in the damn deck, Shinji!”
uh...bro, these cards are kind of sticky.
No playing this deck in the hospital!

That's cool as hell.
Gotta be Asuka for the prodigy though, right? Shinji lacks enough agency to have card abilities aside from "able to pilot mechs."
But I'm a fanboy for Asuka, so I recognize my bias here.
But in the end Shinji is the true prodigy being able to Pilot better than anyone else without any training, no? A true prodigy..
Shinji can pilot Unit 01 because
I mean, he jumps in and "accomplishes" TWO new feats immediately. Unit 01 moves without power AND brutally defeats an Angel. Shinji does that with no training, no attunement, and by disobeying orders. That feat could be put under the "prodigy" category, for sure. But in all versions of Eva it becomes clear that
Honestly, I categorize Shinji's success more as
But you're not wrong. Prodigy can be talent, but it could be something else as well.
i mean...to be fair, the non-mass produced Evas can't really function without compatible pilots. so its nepotism on purpose.
There's non-purposeful nepotism...? /s
But yea, your point stands. Such a good freaking show.
She approves!
Ahah great!
Cool art, would have thought Unit 00' would be the more Azorius EVA
Yeah, I've considered making a custom Unit 0 Shorikai with pilot tokens using a screenshot of the Rei clone tank as the artwork.
Naw the true shiroki from eva is the Jet Alone
This is my favorite version, complete wit the little pilot and the gundam schematic behind the text:
At the beginning of combat on your turn, you may play DECISIVE BATTLE from your phone.

A NGE secret lair isn't even that far fetched anymore.
If you can check my profile you can see that I painted one, somehow 😶🌫️
Incredible!
Thank you!
This is such a sick alter. You do great work!
Thank you very much!
How much does something like this cost? It looks absolutely insane!
Send me a DM and lets talk about it!
It would be fitting if your opponents were Atraxa, Aurelia, and Brisela
Excellent color choices!
Holy balls that’s beautiful. NGE is my favourite anime and I’d love something similar. Do you do commissions?
Yes I do! Send me a DM if you are interested :)
Great artwork. Hate the lack of rules text though.
are you selling this?
Sorry it was a commission! But Im open for commissions
lol Shorikai lore sorta Eva-ish, this fits
Neon Dynasty Genesis Engingelion
This is excellent.
And for you language nerds out there, Shorikai = 勝利械
I’m fairly sure it means, ‘victory machine’ or ‘machine of conquest’.
Cheers!
Got damn! That's beautiful.
Love this. I personally have the Gundam as my Shorikai theme skin but EVA-01 is a great choice too.
Im assuming it does something since an 8/8 for 4 is a bit to powerful.
it's much better than a vanilla 8/8 for 4 actually!
It's a vehicle, so it has to be crewed.
Well, it's Shorikai, so it does Shorikai things.
Also an 8/8 for 4 with no abilities doesn't seem THAT crazy, except maybe to new players.

Also, I don't think a vanilla 8/8 for 4 is really that powerful outside some limited formats.
Thanks but I found it.
This is exactly the problem with the “alters” that make the playing card into an art card, you have to google the text or have a copy of the card for an opponent who doesn’t know the card
Or the person who paid hundreds for a custom commander has a spare unaltered commander for people who dont know what it does
which is exactly what I stated as being the problem, having to carry a copy of card around because the alt art couldn't be bothered to keep the text so that it still functions as a TCG card
Hey friend, maybe just let people have fun in a card game. Not sure why this bothers you so much
How can you still not be sure after I have stated it twice, I’ll try to explain slow.
During a match these textless cards (both these alts and the official ones printed by wizards of the coast) have a good chance of disrupting the pace of the game by forcing players to either trust blindly what the owner says the card does or by having to google the effect of the card. This is not ideal for a game that really pushes for “reading the card explains the card”
Hope that was clear enough
Hey friend, maybe just let people have fun in a card game. Not sure why this bothers you so much.
In mid game I ld rather not pull out my phone to get the English or version with text. But I can Google this now Not sure why I didn't before.
One of the players at my LGS has custom pilot tokens as Shinji, I’ll have to show them this!
