28 foil crystalline slivers. Yes they are for sale too.
Nice :) To bad the market price for foil crystallines these days are not so high anymore.
Some test prints I have.
How and where do you get those?
This is my Signature
I still can't believe how fugly those things are o.O
If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck, it's probably delicious.
Team ADHD-To resist is to piss in the wind. Anyone who does will end up smelling.
Just for the record WotC never tried to use Portuguese-Brazilian translators for the cards. Even when it had a full translation team for each language (I should know, I worked in the Portuguese-Brazilian one). They only used the team for documents (judge's test, FAQs, etc).
IIRC what they FINALLY decided to do to cut back on the idiotic mistakes was have a L3 judge review the translation. They gave the job to a Brazilian judge (obviously, much bigger market) called Svaldi. Great guy, great judge, I'm sure he did - and is doing - a great job. I'm also sure he would only touch card texts.
He probably won't fix card names, flavor texts, etc. From what I heard giving him the job was a good idea. On the first set he worked they had changed translation companies and the card texts were all messed up. Even old stuff like "first strike" or something has the remainder text totally wrong.
I don't know who does the card names, or the flavor texts. What I DO know is that it's a VERY tough job. I did it for another card game and I call tell you it's very, very hard.
Try this for size: translating the amazing card name "No Rest For The Wicked". Now check out how each language did it: http://magiccards.info/10e/165.html
As for Voidslime... you might want to check out the Italian and Spanish version. And remember the translator has to follow rules for each set and card.
As for what turns into a running joke... I spent ten years hearing Portuguese players joke about "card" and "deck" not being translated in Portuguese-Brazilian. Well, it turns out it's because Brazilian law doesn't find it kosher.

I sold off all 28 Foil Slivers already at $15 each. I might be able to get more. though.
I got the genesis and city of brass test prints via a private deal.
No offense taken, obviously
How I got my job... I started writing for Mindripper, then started doing even coverage for WotC, then started writing for Star City, then started writing for Sideboard, then wrote - for free - for a PT Magic magazine... then the translation chief decided he wanted a PT guy in the PT-BR translation work...
No MSN, sorry. I'm at work most of the day... I'm AMAZED they haven't blocked these foruns as well. I'll try to PM you my home e-mail.
The foiled part of my Spring Tide deck. Cards are for sale. Make me an offer I can't refuse!
Just add some foiled Brainstorms and you're good to go.
Also, if you happen to own a playset of signed Turnabouts, send me a PM.
