The only problem I have atm is, that I absolutely "hate" the old Griselbrand artwork and love the promo, which is a pain in the ass, cause there is only eng version of it :cry:
Need to find a solution for this in the long run :/
Edit says: @Havrekjex, nice Griseldaddy (though, I do not like the art)
Greetings,

PS: And man, those port foil cards are hard to find (got already my Shoal, Goryo's, Wurm, Temple, just need the other stuff (manabase says hi and that darn SSG - Edit says: just got lucky and found one XD)).
PPS: As for languages, I go for: port, ger, eng and japo. I'm not a fan of rus cards, so that is why there is eng instead. As for priority port->ger->japo->eng So when I do not run the playset (say only a single) I play the port version ^^

But the mixing of languages is :frown: Stick to 2 at most (1 Asian + 1 European for the duals)! That's what I do: JPN + ITA.
Super delayed response, but that's the long-term plan. I've been buying power instead of Foil German Jaces. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Where are you from? I'm just curious, as people generally dislike Portuguese.

I like Portugese quite a lot, and it is hard to find ^^
Btw, found that thing, thoughts (not my pic btw)?
Necrotic Ooze miscut
I have never seen such a miscut ^^

Is there any chance that it`s not NFC? And would it be legal, even though the P/T is barely readable?
Edit: https://www.magiccardmarket.eu/Produ.../223358390.jpg - those corners don`t look quite right to me.

A couple of stores here in Portugal have PT-foils stashed because they don't sell. If you are searching for something specific just tell me, I can look around :)

It's definitely not factory cut. The corners are very inconsistent and not very rounded.

I will gladly take this opportunity ^^
I will PM you as soon as I exactly know, what I need (ordered some PT stuff like two days ago, so I have to check up, what I need).
@Necrotic Ooze, already thought it, that that one is NFC.

40-50$ basics isn't pimp, if you use the argument "they are expensive".
I'm sure I've mentioned this earlier but I don't run Japanese PBlasts because they're not BB (yet, I'm expecting an EMA reprint to fix that). So that's the only card that I have that isn't Japanese when it can be.
As for not using Japanese or Guru basics, it's because Euro look better and you see them less. Guru are 1) ugly and 2) played out. It's like your rich neighbor buying a 458 Italia and you deciding to import a 2000GT. One is for new money, the other is for those with class :cool: You should understand this, seeing as you've said in the past a lot of what goes into pimping is tied to art (which is the reason why I will not be sleeving up EMA generic-counterspell-art Force of Wills in place of ITA burning man.)

1) Yes but they exist in english, you could go Jpn+Eng or Jpn+Ita for all your lands, the Moat is the only problem but I'd rather have a SB card mismatched then my mana base.
2) I did not know that the price of the cards is important for CONSISTENCY? Why are you not playing guru lands then? I don't get why you don"t use jpn Basics in this deck, that is inconsistent to me
3) Yeah ok its more expensive, but again it doesn't help consistency
1) With the EMA Karakas printing in the better art, that card will be Japanese now :smile:
2) Pimping has inherent value concerns, yes. So the reason I decided to spend an extra $100 on the Moat was because I had the money to. Legends is a special case because ITA Legends is epitome of budget, while other ITA stuff isn't necessarily budget (such as the FoWs and the super-hard-to-find Ice Age PBlasts.) As for the matter on basics, I don't run Guru because quite frankly they're 1) ugly and 2) played out and I don't run Japanese (mentioned above but so below) because the only art I would want outside of the 2 I have now are the Torii island and Sunflower plains and they aren't available in Japanese script.
3) The consistency in my deck is: cards that can be Japanese (BB) are, cards that can't are either ITA BB or English BB (literally 1 card at this point, discounting basics), and it's consistent through the entire set of cards. The other guy was mixing languages even through the same cards–Snapcaster, and that's a no-no for pimping. But he's since said it's a WIP so can't fault him on that, only on posting an incomplete pimp deck but that's whatever. But having Chinese Jaces when German exist is awkward as fuck.

For some reason, the 8 mana really stands out in that pic. Always feels off.

You dont really get the point, it is ok if you take cards you like more, it is your deck after all. But don't be like your deck is totally conistency all the time, when you sacrafice consistent for cards of higher value or better art on severall cases like the Basics or the new border swords or the khans fetches.
3) still you use 3 languarges when it could be easily 2. Consistency would be to run all non jap cards as either ita or eng.
Btw: The euro lands are more like 25 and 15$. If you pay 60 for the island, I will be happy to sell you as many as you want for that price. ;) Hard to find Pblast? Send me 30$ I will get you a playset ;)

I don't the new art as much as the original, that and the border just sucks monkey balls. Not to mention real world quotes are cool.
I'll be sticking with my English legends copies, much prettier.

Here in the USofA prices are different than your MKM (I wish we had something similar to that here; TCGPlayer isn't good enough).
As for PBlasts: just 1 for sale for a card that's worth $1.50 is rare as fuck so I don't know what you're talking about when you're implying they're not hard to find.

Lets all just take a moment here and pray we can finally foil our Pyroblasts. My RUG deck is seriously needing one.

Hey there folks,
Today, I'm starting a new section in Super Secret Tech: Pimp my History! Each other week, I'll be posting pimped decks played in the past years. I'll start with this Monoblack Pox played in the Catalan Legacy League on January 2014:
