I think if you go foil which by its refractive / reflective nature says LOOK AT ME LOOK AT ME! Using foils given away or "won" at FNM by beating children at standard is a little weak.

But I don't like foil to begin with so I'm hopelessly biased. Anyway regardless there is an ignore feature, of which many people have used on me I'm sure. If somebodies posts of FNM foils truly burn your corneas, or if you have korean and russian cards you can just ignore them.

but having a non-foil english deck with A/B duals is just +50 normal cards along with some high value card, which isn't a pimp deck.

True. It's no swag, it's class.

Pimp police!!!

That's pretty fabulous!

FnM foils are lame in a sense, but I like some of the arts on them. I don't pimp my decks, but if I did I would use whatever art/language I think is nicest. I'm not a huge fan of foils unless they have some sweet portion of the art that makes it cool (like foil Elesh Norn). Some people like foil, some people like foreign, some people like altered, some people like Original Printing. It's all up to whoever is making the deck. If I'm happy with it, I could give a fuck less what someone else thinks.

You don't start out by pimping the most expensive stuff, but work your way up.
In fact I think that the exact opposite approach is much more better. You spend your 1-5k on the most expensive stuff and since then the whole pimping process is a piece of cake. Except that nobody does it like that...

I wholeheartedly support Lemnear. Though I don't really like the Modern frame and foils are imao plain disgusting (moreover when WotC can't make them well, so they bend, etc.; the buserants even have the courage to haze tournament crowd when their very own product bends), otoh I really like the uniformous look of the one-frame-to-rule-them-all because I also dislike mixed frames/signatures/languages.

Also - and this is in no means directed at one particular poster, trust me - it's pretty harsh and not really wise to mock someone's deck and then present just a wall of text, moreover one that clearly won't pleas every eye, see Italian FBB.


I sold some cards yesterday and as I have quite some (unexpected) money, I'm thinking of purchasing some pimp stuff. As my one and only deck will be Canadian Thresh, I thought that I may finally finalize it. But... here's something to consider:
I really start to massively dislike the language, frame and border mixes. While there's hardly anything one can do about frame (if you play competitively) and the full-BB borders are also not really easy/cheap (btw, I'd play full-WB deck in a minute, but alas, there are not many Goyfs with white borders), the languages are a bit different - you may have a deck completely in one language: simply choose English. Otoh, there's no question that it's the most boring possibility, and I'd also feel like a complete moron if I'd de-japanize and de-chineze my deck right after I acquired $ 100 of new asian cards, not to mention I'd pity the many other asian cards I already own and play for several years.

So, basically I'm questioning whether I should revert back to basics and simply use a complete-Eng deck (and throw away all the jap/chi/kor) stuff or if I should just say "bah, screw the style" and keep the asian stuff, improve the English one wherever possible (read: of course no FoW and duals, but also no Goyfs) and laugh at the pimp police.

/ot

And to not be accused that I just brought a wall of text and no pictures to pleas anybody's eye, I post a two-cards riddle plus a one-card query:

1) Which deck may play the next two cards?

2) The following card - hot or not?

Mirrodin Moxen and Lorwyn Ponder as well as the Timespiral stuff look simply ugly Artwise, what's why I choose the other versions. On Probe I already mentioned, that NPH ones have a better picture.

In your list I can also see a lot of cards available in a "much better Version", starting with your italian Duals which are by far the cheapest FBB and could also be Beta or Summer, as well as the whole cards could be in Japanese FOIL too blahblah. I still think it's pointless to debate on such stuff or seriously pick on people.

Summer duals may not even exist in a complete playset. it would be unreasonable to think that anyone could even acquire a playset of 1 type of dual. Therefore I'm not sure why they were even mentioned. If I'm wrong about the scarcity let me know but I have been policing ebay for cards for a long time and I havent seen that many roll through there.

Both these problems have easy solutions. Either go all German/Italian/French (or only Italian if you're playing Chain Lightning), or take an eraser to your cards.

First of all I think, that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but you definitely can see, if someone spended a lot of time adjuncted a bunch of money (most of the time) in his deck and that`s it what makes it unique and "PIMP". Doesn`t matter if someone goes with Jap, Jap Foils, foreign languages or even all white boarded (nice idea) and so on... we all know it.

I am sure, that I`am pretty alone with my kind of Pimp taste here,... I putting together T.E.S at the moment. I like it clean and "antique", so I go for all over English (German player, so the pimp police might legitimate, because it`s a foreign language for me :tongue:), Arabian Nights + Beta, some signed and altered stuff and at the end Beta Duals, but for now Unlimited Duals have to do the job.

Btw: Really nice looking T.E.S Lemnear, pics of mine will be coming end of the month, when it`s done.

As I already said, foil onslautght polluteds are the next objective.
Also, about the Italian FBB discusion.. I think that Italian should be more pimp than German, as Italian was the first FBB version (you can see it in the tap symbol, Italian is the only language that still has the 'T'). And yes, I prefer Italian FBB than revised, even if it's in another language. The rest of the deck is 100% English.

kmc or ultra pro perfect fits have no warped my foils. I've had a foil polluted delta in a kmc for years and I took it out the other day to check and its as clean as the day it went in there. Ultra pro's seem to be the same although I havent had mine for as long.

DO NOT however buy any off brand perfect fits. They are crap quality control and i have a pack of "max fits" or something that slides off the cards when they are put into the second sleeve.

I've been fine with Ultra Pro's "pro fit" instead of KMC, but I haven't used them with foils.

If I'm wrong about the scarcity let me know but I have been policing ebay for cards for a long time and I havent seen that many roll through there.

Supposedly (and to be frank I have never checked), some guy on salvation had used summer duels for his zoo deck.

There should be enough for like 2-3 playsets to my understanding (there are like 12 summer serendib efreets, which was rare, so I assume the same for the rest) but that's it

Okay, I am 3 efreets away from a set, so anyone willing to help me out can do so, and we can post the most amazing faerie stompy deck ever. Or go old school and play serendib in a thresh-style deck. I don't have enough duals for that, though. There are definitely enough summer cards to create playsets, but a playset is tough to put together.

I've wondered if a full summer deck would be more expensive than a full test print deck. Assuming you don't play 40duals/4efreet/4hurricane/random restricted cards.dec, I actually think a deck full of test prints might win out.

Quick question, I am pimping one of my vintage decks. I don't like foil (only Goblins do). So I wanted to make it Korean signed or Russian signed. But not all cards are in those languages. Moxen are English, duals are FBB German (prefer this over beta). But what about the other cards? Would it look riddicolus to mix Korean and Russian? What about signed / non-signed? Some artist have told me they don't sign anymore (Adam Rex) or don't sign by mail (Kev Walker). Should I try to get whatever edition just as it is signed? Or go for unsigned Korean / Russian?

I prefer uniformity, one reason why I pimp in German.
When a deck contains 4 different languages, while it's still pimp, I don't like them.

Also depends on the deck, you could get a lot of dredge in Russian foil, compared to other decks.

There are only a few cards that can keep up with german names.

Justification, Tapmorono and retard to name a few.

I'll stand by Frostbringer as my favorite non-English card name.

To be fair, Тармогойф is read as "tar-ma-goiph". The third letter is Roe, the 6th letter is Gamma, the last letter is Phi. R-G-Ph.

People are just too stupid to realize that letters exist outside the English alphabet.

I tried telling them that for over a year. It didn't sink in.



Quick question, I am pimping one of my vintage decks. I don't like foil (only Goblins do). So I wanted to make it Korean signed or Russian signed. But not all cards are in those languages. Moxen are English, duals are FBB German (prefer this over beta). But what about the other cards? Would it look riddicolus to mix Korean and Russian? What about signed / non-signed? Some artist have told me they don't sign anymore (Adam Rex) or don't sign by mail (Kev Walker). Should I try to get whatever edition just as it is signed? Or go for unsigned Korean / Russian?

How I rate:
Signed before unsigned
Russian -> Korean -> German -> Other Asian -> English

I think mixing Korean and Russian looks particularly good together. But I don't mind mixing languages as much as some people seem to. I think if you're committed to pimping out a vintage deck, then pretty much your only option is to go with maximum value, right? Korean and Russian are almost always the most difficult to find of any language and give you decent coverage (4th -> Saga, Rav -> now). The difficult part is the Urza's Legacy -> Kamigawa gap. I think that S-Chinese looks really good in that era, but to each their own.

Thanks. I just keep what I pulled and get it signed or when I see a signed foil I don't have I buy it. I don't actively search for them. The Promos (Release / Prerelease / BAB) also count. Problem with the Squad is that the art is the same as the regular version that's why it didn't get a seperate slot (behind the promo are regular signed Earwig Squads)...Morningtide had 151 different arts (2 Gates / 1 Squad art).

Mine were signed at the 2005 or maybe 2006 Gen Con. I have four that are identical. It was so long ago and it's sad to hear how jaded he has become. It only takes a few bad apples I guess.

Actually, that's how we do it. As you said, because of the singleton nature of EDH and the limits of '94 (we allow Fallen Empires, not sure why most people don't), allowing power doesn't make much of a difference.

I have a Rubinia Soulsinger deck that goes all in trying to steal creatures (Old Man of the Sea, Seasinger, Preacher, Willow Satyr, etc). I figure since mine suck, I'll use yours. :laugh: Whenever I play it no one complains that I have 3 Moxes or the big blue trio. After all, even though I'm in blue my card draw after Ancestral consists of... Braingeyser and Jayemdae Tome. :tongue:

Versus, say Tooth and Nail into almost anything? Or any of the other million broken spells/creatures/combos available to everyone else at the table?

To be honest to pull off the combo you mentioned above I'd need 4 cards out of 99 in my hand - without any tutors. Statistically very unlikely... and once I did, then what? Hope everyone else has nothing to stop me? Odds are they'd let me go - what can I do? Hope they have something worth stealing... and I can hold on to it long enough to use it. :smile:

My theros russian acquisitions were pretty simple since the set is a steaming pile of horseshit ... I also thought the God Weapons were also indestructible and thus thought they were barely playable. Turns out godly weapons are fucking utter trash. The plus side to a set being eternal feces is you get everything you need for like $100.

Heres the deck I played for the Seattle SCG last week:

That just reminds me of GP indianapolis a few years back where I played against UB shadow walls in round 1 or something with just mana leak for interaction while I was on TES. Absolutely crushed of course while he tried mana leaking my city of brass trigger when I was just going to cast brainstorm with a fetch in play and he lets it happen...win next turn lol.

I did have to get a different Volcanic than the original one set aside for me; it was terribly misgraded. Ended up getting a NM copy instead, so whatevs.

I ended up with about $10.5K in trade; basically everything I don't play with. I'd set it up weeks ahead of time with them via email and got sale prices, etc. After I got that stuff I still had like $3K left.

For EDH. I had been wanting to upgrade my FBB duals for a while (pretty much since I got them), and I had the opportunity, so I went for it. I already had a Bayou, which is good, because they had none of those at the time.

Still need a handful of Beta things, like Wrath, Meekstone, and such. Blah.

The bank statement is inverted so that means it got pressed against the Karakas, presumably while the ink was fresh or became wet and the ink got transferred onto the Karakas. I think it can be replicated, but the ink transfer on this one is pretty strong. If the letters were the right way, we have an incredible misprint.

Occam is correct. It sat on a desk and had a bank statement on it in that was fresh off an older ink jet printer. There it sat below 4-5 overpriced text books for several days whilst I attempted to pass classes.

So I have a dilema and was curious what you all thought on the matter. GP DC is coming up and some great Legacy cards artists will be in attendance. I have a nice set of dual lands that I use in Legacy, along with fetch lands to match. I personally think getting cards signed is cool, and I like the look of it. What is everyone's opinion on getting expensive cards signed by the artists, be is dual lands, fetches, or high $ cards (something like a Candelabra or Tabernacle)?

I am leaning towards getting my duals and stuff signed, since I personally like it and it adds a nice little story to the "pimp"ness of the deck. The only real concern I have is that signed cards sometimes LOSE value in secondary markets and if I ever want to sell out of Magic, I am wondering how big of a chunk I will lose cus some guy wrote his name on my pieces of cardboard.

Thanks.

nedleeds

If they are just revised duals and english fetches then you aren't really dealing with much value. If you take the time to sell to individual parties you'll get more, a dealer might be less interested in your signed stuff because of the limitations of shit like tcg, amazon and crystal commerce.

If you are talking beta/alpha duals I might think a little harder and the decision would be based on whether you consider that stuff to be something you'll basically never sell. I don't intend on selling my stuff a nd love metallic ink so I get my stuff signed. I think it looks sweet and those who don't can eat an AIDS sandwich.

Also:

I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you are looking for ransom, I can tell you I don't have money. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills; skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let my daughter go now, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you.
