German > French > Korean = Russian > Japanese > Portuguese > English = Spanish > Chinese > Italian
I used to despise foreign cards altogether, but after I picked up FBB duals I started to appreciate German/French.
So wrong.
Spanish>German>French>Korean>English=Italian>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Everything else.
Also, Portuguese is the language that people like Christiano Ronaldo and Kaka grew up with, so there is no way I would ever play a card with that abortion of a language on it. No offense. ¡Víva España!

Yeah I was born on Mallorca, in Palma, but I'm a Barcelona fan. (All my friends liked Real Madrid or Real Mallorca, and I wanted to be against the grain, I was a rebel, even at 5 years old. Che ain't got shit on me).

Actually Mallorca belongs to Germany.
Also, why does everyone hate Chinese? I think it's pretty cool, especially the older cards.

There is a huge difference between Mallorca being infested with Germans (to the point where it is unbearable, Germans are as bad, if not worse, than America tourists), and Germany controlling Mallorca.

Nice stuff!
Very true, the Euro really took a lot of our cards. It's very unfortunate, but I'm trying to bring it all back :P
-Matt
You're not lying man. It's cheaper to buy from a US vendor than it is to trade cash here in the EU. I can't speak for other countries, but here in NL the eternal market is quite fair and thriving. But when purchasing cards, it makes sense just to buy in USD. Recently at a yearly Legacy Open, our main trader in the country had a booth, and he was selling an Ex+ (or so it looked) UNL Lotus for 750EUR (just over 1,000USD) Moxen of the same grade were 250eur. The blue spells were 200/250 depending, of course. Of course, prices have historically been lower considering we're at an all time high for people buying into the Eternal card pool.
I brought my collection wiht me when I moved overseas a few years ago and am so glad I didn't trade it away for lunch money back stateside. The strongest currency wins out.

Why does everbody hate chinese ?
I prefer chinese always above laguages like, english, french, spanish etc .. ( which I all REALLY dislike )
Maybe that's because I am from Europe, and that's all pretty common here, but still ?

I think T-Chinese from back in the day was cool, but then they started printing S-Chinese, which is just awful compared to the older style. Comparing the stylings of Asian languages, I rate them as such:
Korean Style 1 (Visions, 4th) > Korean Style 2 (everything else) > Japanese > T-Chinese > S-Chinese.
Examples of each:

The Rack and Ruin is Traditional Chinese since they didn't print Legacy in Simplified.
Quick version of Simplified I could find:
http://i24.ebayimg.com/02/i/001/49/ab/de9c_35.JPG
The text stands out almost as much as the Korean 4th which I like more than the T-Chinese text.
The Korean cards you posted are beautiful.
Oops, my mistake. Ya Visions was a good run for Asian languages, but then it went downhill after that. The T-Chinese from that set is very pleasant, whereas afterwards it was blocked up and just looks busy.

I prefer the Simplified and blocky T-Chinese than the newer Chinese ones that are coming out (see Mindbreak Trap).

It's the first and only deck I've "pimped" 100% (all of the remaining English foils should obviously be German, but other than that it's exactly as I like it). Enjoy!

Abortion of a language? What kind of respect do you have for the Portuguese/Brazilian/etc people and for our language?
Besides the fact that Portuguese sounds like a gypsy-bastardization of Spanish theres nothing pimp about Portuguese culture. I went to Lisbon a couple years ago and it reminded me of Bucharest in the late 90's. After that visit its no surprise that countries like Slovenia and the Czech Republic are blowing by Portugal in terms of GDP/capita. If Portugal didn't receive all the support it does from the EU it would be a complete disaster area. This is why Portuguese is the least pimp language there is.

If we and our economy are in disgrace is because of years and years of corruption by the scums of the Socialist/Popular Parties. This situation makes me sad.
Lisbon is a very old city, is natural that it looks old. Portugal as his borders since 1297 "Tratado de Alcanizes", we are the oldest country in Europe.
You call japanese pimp but I will let you know that Portuguese language is the ocidental language with more influence in their culture. Pan, butan and some other japanese words came from us. The Portuguese arrived in Japan in 1543. Japan was known since the time of Marco Polo, who called Cipango. But the Portuguese were actually the first Europeans to arrive in Japan. The Portuguese also introduced into Japan firearms, and new knowledge in medicine, astronomy, mathematics, and teaching the art of navigation by the Portuguese.

however, S-Chinese can be truly ugly - witness the fitness:

Quietschkuchen-Raupenkerl (http://magiccards.info/mt/de/78.html) is pretty awesome. Most German card names are really stupid. As for the longest German card name, I'm not sure, but Godo, señor de la guerra de los bandidos (http://magiccards.info/chk/es/169.html) is the longest Spanish one I think.

I know of a few people who say the same thing: it's somewhat similar, but still definitely off.
For you Port/Spanish speakers, how much of the other language can you understand when they talk? 50%? More? Less?
-Matt
Regarding portuguese speakers from portugal and spanish ones from spain probably about 80%. If you talk slowly you can perfectly have a conversation between spanish and portuguese speakers.
Regarding portuguese speakers from brazil and spanish speakers from south america it might be more difficult. I am spanish and personally understand nearly every word from a person from portugal, but have more troubles understanding brazilian ones. And I suppose viceversa goes the same.
Tiago_B.
06-21-2011, 12:43 PM
Id say easily over 60%.
There are much differences in words, and the accent is different, but the phrase articulation and the language itself are almost identical.
Ive been to Spain many times, and it was easy to have a 'almost' regular conversation to anyone.
However, this year i have a guy from Chile in my basketball team, and its much harder to understand clearly what he says, since there are variations from country to country that speak the same language. Im just too used to Spain's accent, and his is different.
guifig
06-21-2011, 12:51 PM
I agree. Considering every Spanish variation, I'd say around 60-70% is a fair estimate. You could easily chat with anyone if they and I speak slowly enough and/or enunciate well.

I took 5 years of Italian classes and I find it's pretty easy to read other Latin or romance languages. They're all quite similar and if you can just break them down, it's not too hard. Speaking/listening to the languages though, I find to be more difficult.

06-21-2011, 01:37 PM
While i was studying for the exams to get into university, i spent almost an entire summer watching channel Real Madrid, some low budget movie channel, and Buzz anime channel as well, all in Spanish. I really got used to hearing and understanding spanish (but not talking it lol).
I agree that most latin languages are close. Italian is a bit harder though.

I agree that most latin languages are close. Italian is a bit harder though.
Italian ortography is very difficult. Lots of rules, exceptions and ''false friends'' are often misspelled / forgotten even by italians. Very few are able to speak and write without making even the minimum mistake. I guess it's easy to understand and speak (not to write correctly, though, unless you study Italian for a long period) for a spanish or portuguese guy, though.
Personally I've had the opportunity of studying English,Spanish and Japanese in the past. A part from English, which I hope to write at least acceptably, Spanish ortography and pronounciation were rather easy (I forgot everything I studied, though) Japanese instead was crazy difficult to write properly while grammar, pronounciation and ortography were rather simple.

Being a Spanish speaker, Portugese sounds way funnier. It's all subjective. But Portugese are way better at speaking other languages because of alllllllll the vowels and dipthongs the mother tongue possesses which translate well to other languages, pun.

It's been a while since my last post here. The reason why you haven't seen me is coz I sold all my foil japanese. My concept of Pimp has changed a lot and I still believe selling was the right thing to do. I believe the Foil Japanese market is unsustainable and will suffer some crack any day soon. Prices for new foil japanese rares/mythics ain't set any longer by a comparison system rather than an speculation process of the market.
With that said, I wanted to contribute with, my-not-so-pimp EDH Sharuum deck. There's still a lot of work in progress in the deck:
Everything that isn't english should be english.
Everything that isn't from the oldest collection available (Alpha/Beta are in the same bag here) should be.
Everything that isn't signed or altered should be signed or altered (artists only).

Hey I didnt know imperial seal came with a black boarder? I thought it was a white boarder card ONLY
It doesn't. Either it's been altered with paint, or inked.

It's altered with paint, not a sharpie. And signed, damn. That's super spicy, that there signed P3K.

How rare is that signature? I know P3K signatures aren't common, most of the set was by artists that don't do much work for wizards. But how often do you see Signed Imperial Seal's?
This deck has come a long way since I last posted it:

Doh... now you tell me :frown:
I saw that sig and it looked wrong, so I had to pull mine out to compare - they didn't match at all!!! I spent quite a while looking at the forms of the 2 sigs to see if it was possible they could be from the same person... if I had known I could've saved the time :laugh:
Oh well.

somehow i dont like the beta duals in my deck anymore, i tested my some of my fbb ones where i´ve posted scans ealier, but it´s pretty boring with them too.
i´m thinking about the combination of 4 Mint UNL Seas and one summer volcanic island (but first UNL until i have enough cash) as duals. they´ll be easier to fetch and somehow i like unl duals a lot, i never had one as i always hated WB duals, and i wanna do something new for me!
what do you guys think? i bet some crisp new minty wb ones would look awesome!
what i´d also like would be a signed and altered set by rob - i know his sig/alter is common but i´ve seen some cool alters on seas done by him

UNaltered FOIL Brainstorm! How dare ya?! XD
sdematt
06-24-2011, 09:56 AM
The obvious choice is, if you can afford it, go Summer, if you truly want to pimp. If you can't get 4 Summer Seas (anyone have 4 Summer Seas? Grandeur? Occam?), then Mint UNL would like fine if you want WB to match, or Mint FWB German would have the closest looking border to Summer.
One thing I've noticed is that when you're playing WB duals, fetchlands are THAT much easier to use :P
Best of luck!

True NM/M UNL duals are a pain to find and quite costly. Somehow most of the ones being offered got really shady looking backsides. I used to play with UNL duals quite a long time because because they are pretty rare (13500 ea) - compared to each of the revised printruns. Anyway now I playing NM fwb because they look really nice while being pretty cheap ...
Also Rob Alexander alters are great most of the time ... just make sure they do not end up like the jap foil Delta available on MKM :tongue:

It's not a poor man's version if I own the original MM Jap Foil Brainstorm as well. see page 247
I like the fact that the artist was able to hide the ulgy FNM sign so well. It's Foil Brainstorm with new frame and it's jap :)

Drew Tucker teaches at a local community college; we actually got him to be a guest at our local 3-day convention last year. He seemed really nice, especially from my perspective, as I was the one who initiated him coming and the one who organizes all of the Magic events. When asked what kind of compensation he required, he quickly and firmly said "none".
Sorry to derail; just thought it was worth mentioning, and the only pimp thing I can post is EDH stuff, so...yeah.

So if I have a Plateau that is miscut much like Gunslinga's Confidant, is that worth any more than a regular Plateau, or are miscuts only really desirable if there's part of another card showing?
dahcmai
07-13-2011, 07:11 PM
Seems to me it's a matter of taste. I don't like miscuts at all really. I have a set of Hymns, but that was only because a friend gave me one because I helped him out making his deck better and teaching him some finer points of playing. It would look bad not to use a friends present. I ended up getting another in a trade so I just decided to get 4 to make a nice set.
Some people love them and I think that the more miscut it is, the better. It just seems cooler to see the other card a little.
I figure it's like Japanese foils. Some people love them, some people are content with non-foil foreign, some despise all foreign stuff, but like foils, and some just want an English one to play with and could care less. Matter of taste as usual.
I like my foil FNM Brainstorms better than the Mercadian Masques ones for example, despite the fact I own both. There isn't too many people who agree with that.

That reminds me a tournament a while ago when I was playing Landstill and I weren't finished pimping the deck like I wanted it to be (full Alpha/Beta, non-foil).
I played a DCI Counterspell and my opponent was "wow, you have a dci counterspell!"
I was like "huh, I played 2 Beta ones before this one...":confused:

also got 15 german FoW´s, almost all packfresh ;-)
and a miscut plateau that is "only" as miscut as the dark confidant wouldnt get a big premium, if any premium at all.
for example at least 95% of all fbb german savannahs and badlands are miscut left-right. they have a small left border most of the times. in this case a centered one would be more appreciated. i´ve only seen very very few well centered savannahs for example.
this brings me to the next question - why arent there so many other left-right miscut fbb duals (or rares from the fbb rare sheet at all, anyway, i dont pay attention to non-dual-fbb-rares)
but the fact that the ratio between sav/badl and the other 8 duals is odd makes me think that the cutting machine has irregularities.
i think that because i dont assume that other miscut duals were sorted out...
besides that, i´ve never seen a real miscut fbb revised card where you can see two cards.

I don't think I've seen miscut FBB German Revised with 2 cards showing, but the vast majority of non-English misprints are still in their native countries, and I'm sure they exist somewhere.
I thought this and those (http://cgi.ebay.com/FBB-2-Card-Miscut-Set-6-Visible-Cards-X1-Misprint-M-/300498859862) are considered to be hand cut.

In the commodities market, a smart move for one person is always a dumb move for another.

Can't wait to see a deck that run the full 12 of those effects (doubt it highly) so their cost is actually justified... Kids don't realize the reason that most of p3k cards (bar ravages of war (decks might actually want more than 4 geddon)) are worth a lot is because they actually are unique, rofl.

Amazing collection Markers. Are you stopping at AL or will the quest go on to get every card signed until the latest sets?
Oh and just a random question, are all the missing cards still attainable? What I mean is, Magic was born almost 20 years ago, and it's a fact of life that people die, so it's not outside the realm of possibility that an artist is already dead by now. I know it's possible that the artist died after having signed some of his cards but maybe there are too few out there of that specific signed card.
Looking forward to your other sets!

Thanks :smile:
I collect cards from all the Sets (you don't get to 26K of signed cards with the cards from Alpha - AL). As long as they're English. I had to draw a line. The Unsets and those blasted Duel-Decks and Lightning-Sliver-Entomb-Decks I avoid (I just can't be bothered).
For me it's the thrill to get the latest sets as "signed as possible" but today's sets are much more difficult because a) far more artists and b) a lot of them have a no sign via mail policy.
Artist death is a fact and the longer I collect/Magic continues the more artists will pass away and make the existing signed cards VERY expensive. But it's not really an issue yet.
The main problem is to track down artist X because he/she one card that I need (Kirsten Bishop and her War Elephants or Cornelius Brudi with his Beta Wanderlust / Beta Pearled Unicorn :cry: ).
I will add more sets as time goes by. Antiquities and Beta will be next (Maybe Thursday or Friday)...

Basically if you want to build an old set you have to slowly piece it together by following ebay auctions for the majority of the cards. Unfortunately that has gotten expensive in the past few years. I'm happy I finished my Arabian Nights set before old cards went crazy on ebay. I remember back in the day (around 2003) you could pick up Alpha/Beta cards for really cheap on ebay. Those days are gone for good.

Really impressive.
While I don't have the possibility to build such a cool looking set, I'm slowly building foil 7th. Now I'm around 95/350 with some nice cards like Wrath, Counterspell, Duress,Goblin King included... I hope I'll post it soon in the future :D It is such a nice set to look at and was the first set I have ever bought back in the days.
Edit: Some commons are a pain in the ass to find. Really.

Dan Frazier did one hell of a job there, I agree. ;)

Trust me I know about how commons are the hardest pieces to find... I collect foil sets and I currently have all of Urza's Legacy, Prophecy, Eighth Edition, Mirrodin, Darksteel, Fifth Dawn, Champions of Kamigawa, and Alara Reborn... I'm also under 20 cards away from having all of about another 5 sets.

i also collect foil foreign sets from time to time.
nearly finished on japanese foil onslaught and german foil urza's legacy.
next project will be 7th foil, japanese is too easy to get, i´ll go with french or german, seems almost impossible.

I don't see Word of Command in the scans or list of missing cards.

I just posted the pages that are completely signed (all 9 cards) that's why Word of Command is missing (I always added "Page X comes here"....I have the set but it's not completely signed yet...

I think is fairly difficult to find all the 7th foil commons in japanese.

Ah, that makes me sad. I used to have a beta set, but sold off the moxen to buy a house. Not a bad trade, but still it's sucks not having the full set anymore.

@ Markers: Your collections are pretty pants-jizzingly awesome, incomplete or not. I'm wondering about the Beta set though, you don't list Black Lotus as a missing item... But I'm not finding the picture of it. (I was loving the altered Moxes and kinda wondered whether you had had the Lotus altered also.)
EDIT: I see the 'page XYZ comes here' part, but if they're not on the "missing" list, does that mean you have the cards and haven't scanned them yet, or what's the dealie-yo?

The set is complete just not completely signed. I just posted the page where all 9 cards are signed and on the Black Lotus page there is the Black Vise...
No my Lotus is not altered. It's double signed but not altered. If you follow the link in my sig you can see a picture of it (and then some).

It's not much, but I'm slowly trying to get TES German Foiled, and these came in today. I know the Shattering Spree isn't German, but I figure if I don't have access to the German Foil, might as well get normal foil.

my favorite part is how he says he "misplaced" the cards...

I just had a momentary panic when I thought my goblin deck had gone missing. I could have sworn I left it in my car and couldn't find it. And given it's a mess, wasn't surprising. Torn the car on end for 15 minutes looking for it and freaked out a little. Deck wasn't pimp at all, but had all the cards for it. And when the deck is a solid rent payment+food and I'm an umemployed college student, it's big money
Happily, I found it sitting on my computer desk where I left it.

It's not bad. I would grade it as EX+ because of a ding at the top.

OK, this thread is inspiring. We all have our own likes as far as foil / language etc.
My rules are as follows (and to each their own)
- No foils, they look like something you'd find in a YGO pack (not that I've opened up)
- Language: I like the communist or former communist languages
- Chinese, Russian
- then some other languages are fine German is cool, I'm not big on Japanese
- Korean is cool where available
- If plain old Beta english is available then it trumps all (except duels ... I sold a full set of 40 betas 5-6 years ago and only had my FBB left :( )
So here's what I have together this week ... Treva Beatdown
First the lands ... where would we be without them

My wastelands fail ... I'll be hunting for cool wastelands at gencon. Or I may get some of my 12 normal ones altered.

I'm not a fan of foils, so having a deck all-FBB is really cool to me. Also, those duals are amazing, nicely done!
