Please warn me when you do, so I'll know which page to skip in this thread. I puke on german, really hate the language. (No offence ment to germans, however I'm traumatized by my german teacher in 2nd grade (Europe, so I was 13/14 then), her name was Helga Hagemann and she was Evillllllllllllllllllll)
Anyone who's first name is "Helga" has a very high chance of being evil. Believe me on this :-)
What really amuses me is the fact that Germans would always much rather go with an English version of a card whereas a lot of American/British people prefer German version of cards. If shipping wouldnt be factor one might actually make some money.
The seven cardinal sins of Legacy:
1. Discuss the unbanning ofLand TaxEarthcraft.
2. Argue that banning Force of Will would make the format healthier.
3. Play Brainstorm without Fetchlands.
4. Stifle Standstill.
5. Think that Gaea's Blessing will make you Solidarity-proof.
6. Pass priority after playing Infernal Tutor.
7. Fail to playtest against Nourishing Lich (coZ iT wIlL gEt U!).
I think that's just because a lot of players like a card to be in a foreign language, and not their own. That's where we dutch people are lucky, thank god there a no dutch cards ^^
Personally I think Russian cards rule big time, pity there a so few series printed in it though :(
Post cards, not lists. Knock off the talking.
That's what I thought. Although I really like German cards, for the translations often are so awful. "Röhrender Reliops" is just the nuts (actually because "reliops" isn't a German word, and reads "spoiler" backwards) Yes....this is indeed Spirit Monger.
Oh yeah, being fucking true metal, Helga has to be evil. Anyone who has ever been to an open air festival knows what I'm talking about.
I hope this works.
Apparently I fail at posting pictures. I like being able to read some of my cards sometimes.

I think he meant Latin lettering but I think our letter were actually either Persian or phonetician in origin the Latins got them from there
German is a bastard language its mixed with other base languages from the northern Europe areas it doesn't have one clear ancestor but many it does draw some from the Romantic Language Base but not a lot.
English
Spanish-and derivatives
Portuguese
french
italian
Greek
I know I am missing something here
are all part of the romantic language group the all derive from Latin as spoken during the rise of the Holy Roman Empire
This is the reason why Latin should be still required in schools I can read Latin and Greek and Hebrew (Dang religious education) and that allows me to figure out most other romantic languages based on my fluency in Spanish and English since they all have the same base language.
I like my portuguese cards. They are insanely hard to find (especially in NM Condition), but they are not considered pimp. I'll still take them over squiggly any day of the week tho.
But that's just me ;)
Edit @ above poster. romanian is a romantic language too, i think.
Shiny lands:
Can't get image to show. Ah well.
my death and taxes, the pimped part
problem is I can't decide between foil and chinese
Beauty determines value and we determine beauty...
Okay people, here's the deal. English is a language of the Germanic family. Vikings invaded and influenced the Anglo-Saxons. When the Normans conquered England around the 11th century, royal business and such was conducted in French and spellings were somewhat standardized. Modern English borrows a ton of words from Latin and Greek. Romanian is actually the modern language closest to Latin. Greek is it's own independent branch of Indo-European and has nothing to do with Romantic languages. The Latin alphabet descends from a western Greek alphabet called Cumaean. The end.
Secondly, Portuguese is my primary pimp language. The cards are hard to find and I enjoy the way the language sounds.

The sad irony is that the day I bought those, my deck got ruined (something was spilled on it... ). I gotta start over. Duals and all...
