I'm not sure but I agree. Wizards did something to make their cards seem cheap after revised. It has to do with the card stock and ink used. They clearly changed the design of the borders too. The ink used on older cards seems more vibrant. It was probably a cost issue...once they realized they could reduce cost by cutting corders on quality.
Dont get me started on the New foiling process either.....god its super shitty.

Sure, thank photobucket for that. A few people have been asking for a repost, so it'd be rude not to. The decklist is obsolete now (sdt being banned means there is no NLS take on storm any more), some pieces have changed but I haven't taken pictures, so this is really a plain repost. This deck started off as an egoistic, ostentatious attempt to get a Legacy storm deck to 100k, which is made more difficult because it doesn't run a manabase that allows someone to cheat and play 10 summer duals to get there.
Been MIA for a couple years. Been doing postgrad and financial charters, plus studying philo and learning a new language. Hope to be around now and again.
Starting with the tokens.
Better pics can be found here: http://www.magiclibrarities.net/602-...rds-index.html
All of them are crazy clown tokens (better known as Minagishi tokens), the breakdown is:
- 1 series 1 (these are exceedingly rare)
- 1 series 4 (single)
- 2 series 4 (5 goblin token)
- 8 series 5 (these are foil)
- 1 series 7
- 1 series 9
- 1 series 10
- 1 series 11
These are filler:
- Mox Crystal top right, it's a 5c reward
- Bottom right card is a spoof card
- Bottom left is a dateless Naughty/Nice with incorrect text (read it!)
Entertained the idea of using some rarities as tokens:
- Arcanine has a magic back ()
- Charizard is a test print
- Textless Rathi Assassin (unclear provenance)
- Amilawthe (https://www.magiclibrarities.net/439...s-index.html); name derived from "I am the law"
- The rest are just some cards made and given to some celebrities who play the game
- Would like to use one of those 3d holo Dragon Whelps as a token too
Mana counters:
Storm counters are a bunch of these:

One must imagine Sisyphus happy.
Rituals:
Basic Japanese foil rits vs some misprinted versions (shifted MM foil/MM foil with upside down back/2 colour misprints)
Closer look at the colour misprints
Shifted MM foil drit above (right) + a more shifted MM foil on the left. The latter is one of my favourites and took a really long time to pick up

Tutors:
Mana rocks:
2 misprinted LEDs at the bottom, one with an obvious second card showing
Mirror picture of the bottom left LED, shows a second card on the back
SB:
Spare stuff:
The pictures are 2-3 years old, so the list is obsolete. Some of the numbers above were just for pictorial purposes too, I think I had a crit and a petal cut from that, can't recall.

Last but not least, the manabase.
- Didn't have the 4th delta then
- U.Seas are half albino
- Basics are test prints (round corners, magic backs). These were included purely for value and because the lands are all white bordered.
- Duals are/will be summer (except the seas, where I prefer the albinos)
The combos for basics (they all need to match) were something I spent a lot of resources hunting for.
- Foil miscuts (iirc, normal backs)
- Albino basics
- Drowning man island + normal guru swamp
These two might be my favourite misprints in the deck, outside of perhaps the U Sea pair. VERY proud of these:
- Messy double-printed tempest island that looks like it escaped being trashed. It has lotus petal's text double printed.
- This swamp might be the best swamp I have ever seen, and is probably the most shifted MM foil
Enjoyed looking through some of the scans, they bring back very nice memories. Hope you guys enjoy them. Stay safe, everyone.

Great birchlores. Do you have the full set of dark visions NOs?
-rob
I've been pimping out my EDH with these, and so far have had zero issues with Sol Ring, Mana Crypt, etc. European though, not sure does that count, I'm aware the Belgian press uses higher quality paper than the American stuff, and suffers less curling on normal cards.
Another reason may be there is less actual foil on the Inventions (borders only).
Looking good! Just please replace those Yugioh Doomsdays with the new M25 ones, they should look amazing in foil ;)
