Subject:Use of an illustration in my web site.

Dear Wizard of the Coast customer representative

I am wondering if you could consider my request.
I have enjoyed Magic:the Gathering for three years and I really appreciate what you have done to flourish this great game and user community.

So my zeal for M:tG drove me to create a web site about M:tG.
I input my thoughts and columns into the pages.
My site is totally non-commercial and I expect no profit from it.

To improve its looking, I would like to use my most favourite card image for background.
The card is FlyingMen(AN), which I collect many.
I am wondering if you could let me use the image.

I understand that all the card illustrations are protected by copyrights and that unauthorized use is prohibited.
I suppose that your authorization is hard to get for an ordinary user.
But is there any possibility for you to permit non-commercial use with good intentions?

Please check my test page.

Whether you find it has a problem or not, please advise me by return mail.
I would like my M:tG site to be fully legal.

Thank you for your attention on this matter.

Best regards,
