Mainly centered around the Onslaught lands, but I enjoy all retro lands. What are some of your favorites?

While back I was looking for foil and retro creatures that had unique art style. After some recommendations and research this is what I ended up making. Still sort of WIP, but I wanted each creature type to be different and unique. I would absolutely love to get my hands on Avatar of Foe, Phage, etc. But for now I am happy with how it turned out.

I have recently bought an alpha Web and staring at it I started thinking to myself - how would I even know if it's a real alpha card versus just a beta card with trimmed corners. I did a bit of research and besides a very good guide (https://www.mtginformation.com/alpha-rare-authentication) on alpha rares, I was not able to find anything concrete besides some minor general guidelines. Besides getting myself a beta version of a card, is there anything concrete that can be used to verify random alpha card's authenticity? For example; I know that the radius of the edges should be 2mm, but I have seen and have few myself that are not quite 2mm. Is that normal? Imgur images of the Web: https://imgur.com/a/fcnpuYK

Am I just super lucky or is this normal for MH3 box?
