Nice Tutor, Brad! That speck of dirt should definitely be removed, whether it be on the card or sleeve. But, you didn't pay his full asking price, did you?
Nice duals, mtgsolring. Any I can take off your hands? :)

This just came in the mail for my edh. 8 more foils to go and 4 FFB cards to go. Kinda off topic... Doesn't anyone have a Japanese Nature's lore from portal 1 I believe...
Hi, dunno if it's pimp or whatever, but are ink smear cards like this really worth that kind of price? (http://cgi.ebay.com/Scaled-Wurm-Blue-Ink-Smear-X1-Misprint-MTG-/300498859869?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item45f720b75d#ht_1526wt_903)
I have a half blue/violet Pyroblast like this
Nope. I have a bunch of Homelands cards like that.
Edit: Does anyone like seeing Portuguese foils? I have some of the better ones, but I guess they pale in comparison to beta Duals and summer Tutors...

Yes! Anything besides Japanese I'd love to see.

Japanese is getting entirely too commonplace now. I wouldn't mind seeing any other language, though I prefer English originals myself.

It's an annoyingly difficult find. All Japanese PO1 is really rare. If any turn up, I'll let you know.

I like seeing all versions/languages of cards, its nice seeing stuff you don't see very often.

I was only looking for 4 of each at the beginning (alpha only and beta volcanic) but somehow ended up with some extras, i finally grew up and decided it was time for other activities, so i no longer have this many but i still have some nice ones :tongue:

Edit: it's funny how the same card travelled a lot in a single year ^^ this demonic was a friend's one who sold it along with a mana vault, a balance and a sol ring to another guy i know, then Andrew got it in Paris along with the vault (ring?) and there you are. Great catch, i hope it stays a bit longer in your collection though ;)
Wow. Now that's some nice pimp. Blue duals are nice.

I might have one laying around. I know Tingxuan has japanese portal 2 up on ebay right now. po1 has the better pic though :/ gl i've been trying to get certain japanese portal 1 cards for years now.
Not decks, but some random pages of my collection. Some English, some Asian, some Portuguese cards nobody likely has seen before.

That Japanese Monument sure is pretty :D
After following this forum for a while I have been able to see others who shared a passion for pimping out their decks like I did. Now though, I am entering a new phase of life where unfortunately I now need the money I invested over the course of the past couple years in pimping out my decks. I was thinking that you all who shared this passion with me would be the most interested in knowing that many notable pimp cards will be on the auction site withing the next day or so. Including a foil japanese Decree of Pain, foil Jace the Mindsculptor, foil nicol bolas planeswalker, foil Karmic guide, foil crucible of worlds, foil high market, foil unhinged lands and many many many more. So to any interested make sure to keep a look out as I could definately use all your help.

hm, still missing 4 cards for my t1 deck before i can entirely post it...
iīll run 6 fetches in it, so far i have 2 misties and 2 tarns, but instead of running 4misty/2tarn or 3misty/3tarn i wanted to go 2delta, 2misty, 2tarn, all jap foil, but i never see any of those online (except pizzeroīs playset that went pretty cheap, but i want 2, not 4 of them :P). i dont wanna go with strands because i just dont like the art and U/W is a boring combination.
if anybody knows someone who is going to sell 2 of his deltas, iīd be very happy and i think i can pay well for them!
ah, and the other cards i need are foil jap grim monolith and jap foil merchant scroll, but these should not be so tough to find...
today i won the jap foil memory jar on auction, what a luck that i had my lunch break at that time! and i got my brainstorm for a good deal, just waiting for the mail now!

04-15-2011, 11:52 AM
I hate when ppl say that it's not a sale thread he is just inquiring if anyone knows some one he can talk to. Ppl will be like Goto mtgo and see there but it's crap there the people there that have the good stuff don't waste there time going through peoples need lists. This would be the best group to ask because we regularly read posts here in the bragging pimp forum. How many of us read the need lists in mtgo regularly? Most of our acquisitions are through friends and other who enjoy pimping. I understand not making deals in the forum, that's obvious. But for a fellow pimper looking for help, this should be where he should be asking. Pm him or email works. I would much rather see this kind of post rather than people complaining about grammar and punctuation. Sorry but I have had a few of my posts asking for help deleted because it's not a sales thread all I said was anyone know where I can get such and such card. I understand the source doesn' t want to be held liable if a deal goes awry. Do you hold eBay accountable if you order something and it doesn't arrive, no the seller is. To dernestor86 if I knew someone who was willing to part with them I'd give you there info.

i want to post my deck when itīs ready, but itīs not, and i dont know why ertais familiar is complaining about me, i have posted some german pimp stuff, some korean goodies aswell, but nothing thatīs actually part of my deck, but just because itīs not ready.
and probably people will complain when i post it, because itīs vintage and not legacy, but iīve seen vintage decks aswell here and i liked them quite a lot!
really amazing stuff around here =)

Sorry but I have had a few of my posts asking for help deleted because it's not a sales thread all I said was anyone know where I can get such and such card.
So like I said;
Bragging thread not sale thread.
I do not see a problem sending someone in this thread a PM asking them where they got X card. Members do that to me all the time. Quite frankly making a trading post is obnoxious, against site rules, and spam - which is why posts like that get deleted.
Sorry I'm not trying to be a rules monger and I'm not saying you haven't contributed anything to this thread. Posts like the one you made just come off as a blatant disregard for the rules put in place by the hosts of this site and irk the shit out of me.
Also I'm not saying only you do it, a lot of people have already in this thread. I think we all just need to be aware that it's a no no. Sorry I used you as an example considering your post is not as offending as others.

I sort of have a Korean pimped out Monoblack... but then Time Spiral block came, and printed so many better cards like Smallpox, Tomb of Yawgmoth, Tombstalker, Thoughtseize, etc
Anything short of Korean pimp for Monoblack is a waste of money/time.

I said sort of... Korean Dark Ritual, Swamps, and Mishra's Factory don't make a pimped out deck... especially when it's interspersed with Chinese cards as well. Bah.

Which is rarer: Korean BB 4E or Korean WB 5E?
I seem to recall that Korean WB 5E cards are much harder to find (smaller print run?) despite the fact that they're WB, they seem to be rarer. I might be wrong on this.
Why are Korean WB Hydroblasts so high?? (5E once again here).

Korean 5th is much rarer than Korean BB 4th.

04-23-2011, 05:46 PM
Cool thanks Yawg, that's what I recalled. However it seems that the BB equivalent of the same cards sometime seem to fetch more $$ e.g. 4E BB Nevinryal's Disk v.s. 5E WB. I know pimp is subjective and most people agree on BB as being more 'pimp', but would rarity be more of a pimping factor that WB v.s. BB?

I use rarity as my defining factor. While rarer items are usually more expensive, they aren't always.

price is the defining factor for pimpness
Which is typically proportional to rarity. Unfortunately lots of kiddies pay big bucks for not so rare cards - so I have to disagree with you here. It's all about the hunt to me; not the price.

Perhaps, if you're trying to make a subjective case for it. I don't argue with people who play guru or some other foil basics over summer, though. I myself play beta duals over summer, although part of that is because I don't believe I need to stroke my ego to the extent that I potentially damage irreplaceable items. In the end, it's all down to preference, or I'd be sitting on my high horse and screaming at everyone who has the audacity to play CoTs that aren't foil.
In any case, nice cards, everyone. I rarely post scans, but I'm close to completing a transaction for some really nice misprint foil staples from MM with very shifted foiling and text -- I'll see if I can post scans after I receive. They are quite nice.

Gorgeous deck, Para! I just bought a Japanese Humility, Enlightened Tutor, and a few other cards that I am pretty excited about. Hopefully I can find a cheap camera and post the pimp stuff I have.

Ah, should have recognised your screen name. Thanks for that, anyway.
I settled a deal for some english foil staples with similar misprints, just with the error far more pronounced. They also cost a lot more than what I paid your friend, but it was worth it.
i am really looking forward to the scan :smile:

what would you guys think of having a deck where for each playset there is 4 different languages. Thinking of doing it with my TES deck or fish deck.
russian,japanese,english, german? just would like to find languages that they all have in common so it doesn't look too crazy, and foil where available obv.

Everyone has been doing Japanese Foil things, and I like the look of nice clean English Foils, so thats what I went with. I used GP moxes because I went to Chicago when they were giving these out. I don't mind the DCI and FNM stamps on the text boxes, because all i am concerned about now is foiling.
The Dark Rituals(soon to be MM Foil) and Ad Nauseam are Japanese.
This is my (close to being done) T.E.S. build.

I'm starting to feel that foils/pimp are giving me a disadvantage in MTG. I'm known for my love of foils and pricey cards so dealers and players like to overcharge me. It's gotten to the extent that I find it cheaper to just order from ABUgames (and ABU is the most expensive online retailer). In EDH, I get mass raped by everyone because my T1 Fetch into FBB Underground Sea costs more than people's decks. :( Plain english non-foil= Secret Tech for Winning in EDH.

Some advertising for Steel Stompy. This deck is really fun to play, and has pretty good matchups for most parts with the only weakness in artifact-hate and Junk, which is why I'm pimp'in it :P
My personal preference for pimp (what I like to look at) is:
NM Korean cards
EX+ Korean cards
EX Korean cards
:P
Foils for fun if the cards themselves are good. Also, English foil makes Korean non-foil look more Korean, don't want to bury my Korean cards in Jap cards :P
I don't have the income/interest to go jap/german foil because I rather spend my money elsewhere... Korean cards! lol
Hope I'm not clunking up the thread, but I don't really know how to compress images and present them.
Current cards I'm missing for complete pimping:
1 Ancient Tomb KOREAN
3 Seat of the Synod FOIL
2 Vault of Whispers FOIL
2 Ratchet Bomb FOIL
4 Thorn of Amethyst FOIL
1 Perish KOREAN
3 Phyrexian Metamorph FOIL (when New Phyrexia comes out)

I don't like foreign cards simply because I am unable to read them, though I do have quite the selection of foils I should post up here sooner or later such as a playset of rishadan ports, aether vials,stoneforge mystic, most of the 40 fetches(have the new 20 foiled), and random other good singleton foils like sofi(the real one not the promo), jitte(the real one, not the promo)...

04-27-2011, 12:20 PM
I too have been hunting for Chinese wastelands for my fish deck, not an easy find. As far as the foreign language discussion goes for my own decks I like asian non foils better then any other cards. Foils seem to degrade faster then regular cards and I don't like not being able to foil things like force.

I tossed the Workshop cause it's a Workshop :P Also, with all these [SCD] Memory Jar, [SCD] Windfall, I figured Workshop might be unbanned in Legacy, so I was playtesting a couple of games with 1 Workshop in the deck. Seems a little bit powerful but you can only use it to cast artifacts so it's a little limited in use in Legacy, it should be unbanned.

Is it much easier to acquire Jap foils in Singapore/Asia than it is in the states? I remember that dealers in Singapore have a bunch of Japanese contacts to grab foils.
Why Vorosh? The colors fit well for EDH/your playstyle? Also, I think Foil DCI Wastelands have surpassed Korean Wastelands now. Well before the price hike from SCG, Koreans were about $10 above foil versions. Do you prefer Korean over foil whenever possible?
bfeingersh
04-30-2011, 03:09 PM
Why Vorosh? The colors fit well for EDH/your playstyle?
Maybe because it's the only option for BUG in EDH, and Magik didn't feel like playing a 5 color deck.
I like the Korean Desertion, JP Foil Treachery, and JP Foil pain lands. I think the pain lands are pretty awesome, if a bit low on the pimp spectrum.

I played a Tournament back in December and got paired against an all jap. foil elves deck with (!!!!) NM/Mint (!!!) Beta Duals...
I did not really get what the guy was doing, but Storm Combo usually beats Elves (so I did). But I have to say that I was quite concerned to not get all of his actions simply because I could at no state tell what his dudes were doing, apart from mana cost.
Pimp cards can distract especially with alternate artworks you've never seen before or random cards no one knows. In those cases I'll allways ask a Judge to confirm... That is time both players can avoid -> disadvantage.
Don't get me wrong though. I enjoy playing against opponents with foil decks because I feel it shows how much a player loves his cards or Deck. I just want to make sure everyone has the same chance of winning. ;)

Thanks for your English-centric view - have you ever considered what it's like for a non-native English speaker playing mtg in a tourny with a heap of English language cards?
Mtg is an international game, the cards come in lots of languages, call a judge if you have any issues - that's what they are there for.

Not hard at all really... I don't see how that's an English-centric view. I'm from Sweden, and I actually think that jap/korean cards I'm not familliar with are a bit annoying. But they sure are nice looking at.

Whenever you are in doubt of what a card does, just ask the judge for the oracle text. Most ones I've seen now carry around smart phones so they can get it to you almost instantly.
Magik, that City of Brass is insane.

That city of brass is cool but I don't believe those cards have regular backs and are therefore not considered legal although EDH is generally a casual format. It's nice that the format was officially acknowledged though.

And the sideways casting cost, power/toughness - sweet shit right there.

I think this is Arabic? This is one of the coolest things I've ever seen in Magic. I didn't even know they printed new Arabic cards.
There is a release promo version of Stone-Tongue Basilisk in Arabic language.
Regarding your card it is Phyrexian as mentioned and could anyways not be Arabic because Arabic is written from right to left ...

Brad,
The Euros are always like this. I would be hesitant to point the following out if so many of them were not so condescending and pretentious about “PIMP” cards.
I laugh at the tons of Japanese Foil shit they repost over and over in multiple decks with only a few cards varying from list to list.
On top of that the majority of their cards are altered so fucking horribly you can't even recognize the original artwork. (Anyone link Pizero’s ugly ass Moxen set?)
Don’t even get me started on the condition of the cards. What did a toddler chew on it?
No class and no personality.
Sorry for over generalizing regarding Euros I know a lot of you guys are pretty tight and friendly.
Just tired of this; to each their own.

05-16-2011, 01:12 PM
For what it's worth, I think those Missteps are awesome. I see too many Japanese foils to care about that junk. I just resell if I get them. I'd much rather have English. Though I do like some foreign stuff like German/Portuguese Forces, FBB duals, the German drudge skeletons, and of course a German Mystic Snake, Jace, or Countryside Crusher always makes me smile. Some Russian cards look quite nice in that language, but I can read that one so it's not that special.

Heh, I play a nice lil alpha Helm of Chatzuk in my EDH just to make people have to remember what banding is. Love that card, it's always fun to play it.
Hey all. :smile:
Long time reader, first time poster. Actually, I've been following this thread for a rather long time, thoroughly enjoying all of the cards and decks everybody's been sharing. I figured it was time for me to give back and share some of my collection!
I don't play Legacy, (although I'm looking to get into the format), but I can share my Vintage deck, some of my various fun cards and some of my casual decks, (of which I have too many.) I figure this thread's sort of turned into an all-around showcase of what awesomeness Magic has to offer, and no longer just restricted to Legacy alone.
Here's my current Vintage deck: Tyrant Oath. My 'style' focuses on non-foil, foreign cards with (preferably) the old card-frame. I'll post the whole deck and close-ups of some of the more intriguing pieces.
http://i54.tinypic.com/14mbfj8.jpg
Korean Oath of Druids - German Forbidden Orchard, (I'm dying for two more!) - Japanese Tidespout Tyrants.
http://i52.tinypic.com/348or45.jpg
German Force of Will - Japanese Gush.
http://i55.tinypic.com/2kf23t.jpg
French Underground Sea, Tropical Island and Volcanic Island - 'Euro' Islands from Italy.
http://i56.tinypic.com/bbec2.jpg
German Demonic Tutor, Sol Ring and Merchant Scroll - Chinese Vampiric Tutor - Japanese Rebuild - French Fastbond altered and signed by Mark Poole - Korean Yawgmoth's Will and Lotus Petal.
http://i54.tinypic.com/auxdom.jpg
Japanese Preordain - Japanese Krosan Reclamation - Chinese Brain Freeze - Japanese Red Elemental Blast.
http://i52.tinypic.com/2d9b7dv.jpg
Everybody's favourite piece of my deck - a miscut Brainstorm! :smile: That's a Circle of Protection: Black on top of it.
http://i52.tinypic.com/20si0s8.jpg
The entire deck and its sideboard. The Black Lotus, Moxen, Time Walk and Ancestral Recall are my Collector's Edition proxies, (which I love just the same.)
Next up are some miscut, misprinted or otherwise interesting cards.
http://i56.tinypic.com/2zg6q07.jpg
Group of miscut connecting cards from The Dark. Almost like an optical illusion.
http://i54.tinypic.com/c6ixe.jpg
Miscut Fear and High Tide.
http://i55.tinypic.com/30i7wbk.jpg
Crimped Scryb Sprites from Beta and a Bone Shredder with an oddly light printing.
http://i53.tinypic.com/1zzo0uo.jpg
Miscut Rhystic Study and what's special about this Juzam Djinn is that he came from a pack of Zendikar.
Here are some bits from my Stompy deck.
http://i55.tinypic.com/qx8ktc.jpg
Group of Portal Forests that had the art altered for the Chinese print run, I don't remember how I got these but it was over ten years ago.
http://i54.tinypic.com/b85s8h.jpg
Japanese Vine Dryad - Japanese Giant Growth - Chinese Wild Dogs signed by Terese Nielsen - Korean River Boa - Japanese Skyshroud Elite - Chinese Rancor.
Some of my mono-black deck.
http://i52.tinypic.com/j0yyv4.jpg
Japanese Phyrexian Arena, Korean Diabolic Edict, Japanese Nevinyrral's Disk, Korean Mind Twist - Japanese Dark Ritual - Hymn To Tourach featuring all designs - Japanese Hypnotic Specter - NM Beta Sinkhole - Korean Duress.
http://i56.tinypic.com/27xnkvp.jpg
Random fun - can anybody make out the signature on the Kor Haven and Story Circle? It's apparently a member of Wizards R&D. Also, a Portuguese Palinchron doesn't have Flying, it has Voar. Vesuvan Doppelganger's already incredible art looks even better with the crisp German printing.

Except my Thrun EDH deck. I'm going to foil the shit out of that. Still English, though.

Here's my humble deck. I have other decks, but this is what I sling out when it gets competitive. When it comes to fighting fire with fire, you gotta rock the best tools:

The support cards-

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/_XKr-jVI5KlE/TdUZICh6K3I/AAAAAAAAAkQ/OZ4SJwhpz1I/s640/EDH%20Sharuum%20Broken.jpg
Still have some fetches to foil, but everything else I'm happy with. Enjoy! Oh and the random Blink is for the intuition pile of death: Momentary Blink, Thopther Assembly and Time Sieve.
The blurred cards in the top left corner of the final pic is Palinchron and Minion Reflector. Think for a minute, yeap infinite dudes, infinite mana. Pretty proud I came up with that myself. Minion reflector is kick ass with Sharuum, letting you get back 2 pieces from the graveyard/ killing sharuum so that you can replay her. Palinchron by itself is a pretty good free body. Last pieces for the deck were the Foil Metamorph, the Imperial Seal and the Transmute Artifact. Finally!

Have all 40 duals, 40 fetchlands, playsets of Fows, LEDs, Survivals, Grindstones, Dreadnoughts, Natural orders, Tarmogoyf, Jace TMS so I'm pretty objective when it comes to deck evaluation and do not base my decisions on card availability/homerism.

I always end up in a city with Zero legacy scene, then with a lot of effort, end up having a respectable community with most archtypes represented. Force. Of. Will. Yeah baby!

Wow. This thread is an awesomazing source of pleasure for my casual player's eyes...
Thanks to all for sharing the sight of their wonderful cards.
I would like to know if anyone have ever seen or heard about a thing like this (The back of the card is on the left, the front on the right.) :
http://i22.servimg.com/u/f22/14/32/67/32/korean10.jpg
I am not the owner of this card, I saw it in a tournament, and the picture above is a montage I made with Paint to give you an idea of what the object looks like. The korean text I put on the image is not exactly the same text as that wich was printed on the card, but it's quite similar.
I would like to know if it could be real (maybe it was a fake, I don't know), and if it would be woth anything.
Edit : Thank you oRen, I dindn't even think to check out on eBay it there were similar items, thinking it was a unique korean misprint... I'm disappointed...

I never knew those rules cards were Korean. I had always thought they were from Portal. I have a few laying around and had always figured they were Chinese.

Very nice, though I'd like it more if the lands were all the same art/style.

To be honest, that deck looks like shit. Why? Because of the manga alters and the alters overall.

It looks cool because the whole deck is styled the same way. If only a few or even half of the cards were altered I would tend to agree with you, but I like how this turned out. Not saying I would ever do it to my own cards but...

It is horribly ugly. Alters are ugly, anime is retarded, together they made something on par with what Hitler and Osama would make if they procreated.

I respect the consistency, but CLAMP shows are typically reserved for preteen girls and that guy should probably know that.

This is true, I was too cheap to get a Beta DT... Total misplay.

Apparently you don't either. WTF is a CLAMP show? And how the fuck did you know that they were CLAMP shows. Just saying, this seems a lot like a Stripe Mine calling a Trinisphere unfun (I was inspired by Game of Thrones to make up my own analogy, if GRRM can do it, why can't I?).
Aside about GoT, does anyone else think that Sam=GRRM?

CLAMP is a group of artists and I know that because I used to watch anime and they're one of the most well-known in the states.

Actually the Clamp are a group of japanese female mangakas. The most part of their work are targeted to teenagers (either female or male teen) but some works are enjoyable even for older people. They're one of the most successfull mangaka team in Japan. I own/have read various series from them.

That deck sucks. It just screams ''I'm gay'' from every single card.

Anime in general screams I never met my mother, or that she touched me too often. I honestly have no idea how anyone could enjoy Anime, it is literally usually the same as real life, except in cartoon form.

Actually I was speaking about Mangas, as I don't know much about Anime/animation but I read lots of comics. Anyway, some of the Animes I watched were pretty good, like Evangelion or Serial Experiments Lain, and I would not define them ''same as real life''. It's like saying that films are boring because it's like real life but in fictional form; but of course both of us know that's not true and (some) films are amazing etc. The same is true for Anime (or at least some of them).
Anyway, I understand when someone wants one or two Manga/Anime based alteration for his EDH, but I would never play a deck entirely Manga/Anime altered. I would feel like a retard.
But I would play a deck entirely altered after David Lynch's works. :)

The difference, films aren't usually targeted to kids. If you want to read something that is good, read Game of Thrones or Clockwork Orange. There are many, many options for adults to read, they do not have to resort to Anime/Manga. Comic books are only somewhat acceptable because they were made cool by superhero movies. Also they can be worth a shit ton sometimes.

This is partially true for Manga too.
There is a sub-genre of Manga, called Seinen Manga, which is targeted only to adults ( they show a wide variety of subjects, from social critiques, to sci-fi; from political-economical scenarios, to avant-garde and art-manga, etc etc.)
There are many, many options for adults to read, they do not have to resort to Anime/Manga.
Manga are just one of those many options. Of course if a 25yrs old reads only comics and Manga there is something wrong with his cultural education. But reading one every now and then it's refreshing.

All anime and manga arent targeted to kids, ignorance much?

By that I mean people who haven't grown up enough to be considered adults. You can be a 45 year old kid, in fact, most people haven't matured past the age of 16 (specifically adults).
Writing in Manga is going to be worse than writing by John Steinbeck, Anthony Burgess, George R.R. Martin, or other such literary geniuses. This point is not up for debate, if you think otherwise, you are an idiot who cannot comprehend what you read.
However this is completely off topic, I'm only a few cards away from being able to post up my deck.

Sometimes, putting ink on cards is a bad call. This is one of these times.
(consider all those cards permanently ruined for.ev.er.)
