The cards are very.nice indeed. Will you be at the dual tourney at dhg June 2nd? Or scg Worcester June 9 and 10th? I'd like to grab that set of brainstorms then if I can.Originally Posted by Madpeep

So ... we had a Vintage tourney of 6 whole people. Before I break this down I'll take some pictures.
I ended up proxying a Lotus as well.
WE LOVE HATE! WE HATE LOVE!
I don't feel like my deck is quite ready to post here yet, although it's getting close. For now, a question -- those of you who get foreign sealed product, where do you usually find it? I'd specifically be looking for like a German box of AVR....haven't found anything halfway reasonable, though, after checking out German and Global eBay. Any help would be appreciated.
Those are some hot Chinese Wastelands.
@nedleeds: Sweet deck, I love me some Vintage Haterator. One question though, why Mikaeus, the Lunarch? I haven't seen that before in Vintage.
A german AVR booster box is 110$ without shipping, but shipping overseas (USA->Germany) cost like 25$/box.
I bought a russian Avacyn booster box. The plan was to get lucky and hit a Temporal Mastery foil.
And the box was... pretty good. Miracle Good.
How different are Russian Foil prices from English Foil prices for AVR?
lol u really pulled the foil mastery? xD
unbelieveable^^
i once bought a russian 10th box to pull a foil hurkyls recall, but i wasnt as lucky as you, i probably will never find that thing!
I thought there would be bears and dredge. Against Dredge he reads W -> remove their bridges (unless you are leylined of course). Against other man decks all it takes is 2-3 counters ... making Thalia a 3/2 first strike is great versus golems. He's not a world beater, he could have been a Tarmogoyf or maybe another Knight. There's quite a bit of competition for the dude slots. I was running Fauna Shaman so I had a couple of bullets, or I could just chuck extra legends for more Pridemages and Gedankensenzors.
Edit: but most important I had a cool looking Russian one.
Russian foil prices are listed as: whatever someone is willing to pay. It can be insane or not, depending on the card/playability.
Ex. English Foil Confidants are around 100, Russian Foil can be upwards of 600 or so (not exact, just relative scale). Foil Jaces are what, 200-250? Russian Foil you can't actually find. The people that have them really don't want to trade/sell them. From what I've heard, they're about $1,000. Probably more, though.

There comes a point where economic models break down in the face of extreme demand and extreme scarcity. Then you are left simply with impulse buying and people with foil OCD
Hmm, interesting application of the card. Thalia's with +1/+1 counters sounds very scary indeed.
That was a pretty solid box, don't play in any tournies for a bit you probably just used up all your luck.

Sound the Ertai's Familiar signal, someone needs to complain about shill bidding~
He's already been in the reprints thread today on that topic.

So,
I got bored of my old Ultra Pro deckbox, because it's so boring. Just gray box. Whee. I decided to make myself a new deckbox! Here are some pictures to show what my deckbox looks like now, been thinking about adding something. In the pictures there's missing a little cloth bag that I made, which will hang on the red ribbon. The bag will have ritual dice from Witcher 2, few old coins (including the ones which came with the Witcher 2..) and different stones/gems.
Here's the whole package! In the ribbon I wrote different stuff in viking runes "ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl ftagn" which should translate into "In his house at R'lyeh, dead Cthulhu waits dreaming". There was still plenty of ribbon remaining so I wrote a part of lyrics from a song by Blind Guardian:
I've lost my battle before it starts
My first breath wasn't done
My spirit's sunken deep
Into the ground
Here's the whole cover without the ribbon blocking the path. Thought about writing Necronomicon in viking runes also, but what fun would it be if nobody knew what my book is supposed to be.
I googled for pictures about necronomicon and found a very awesome picture that I think is supposed to show what Mad Arab Abdul Alhazred looks like. So I used that as an example and drew my own. :) Under the picture is written more lyrics from Mordred's song:
Fate fooled me
And changed my cards
(and now I notice that I mistyped it, d'oh.)
And here lies my deck, there's room for 75 MD cards and over 20 tokens. Too bad that the cards are bit hard to get out from there, got to get more red ribbon to help me pull them out. :)
Here's "added bonus", which might give you a hint about what I plan to play this weekend...
(Didn't know where to post this, but this thread seemed like the right opinion when comparing to altered cards -thread.)

Pretty boss deck box, you should hit Legacy champs at Gencon with a severed goat head helmet and a blood stained robe.
Hot sauce, Machahiko. I'm always down for some non-euclidean architecture/deck boxes. :P
Love your deck box. In the last page you can see my new necronomicon box.
