Pulverfaß

Death Wish is actually "Todeswunsch". The reason it is not spelled "Todes Wunsch" like the the other wishes, is that "Todeswunsch" is a real word in German, whereas "Listiger", "Brennender", "Lebender" and "Goldener" are just adjectives.

"Todespresse" is Black Vise. Oh, and the plural of "Wunsch" is "Wünsche" :wink:

Man I must have had Black Vise on the mind. Such a powerful banned card. So why isn't Black Vise, Schwartzpresse? Any card with the angry ß in it is good, the ü is a close runner up. Also watching neophyte affinity players not understand that Pulverfaß is one sided Armageddon and Wrath is amusing.

And this is the deck I brought to the Old School 93/94 tournament. The deck is nothing special, but the Old School format is super fun :smile:

I got my FBB's in different languages. Partially because i found some signed and in better conditions while not being absurdly more expensive for just being German insttead of French (or whatever). In the end i found that i really couldn't care less about the language of FBB duals. I am not noticing anything of the language. Maybe thats because there is so many text and the font is so small? The only thing i notice how awesome duals look with a black border and that Rob Alexander is awesome for doing so many signing that i can now enjoy signed FBB duals. Makes me wonder, does Jesper Myrfors sign cards?

If you reach out to Daniel Chang (vintage magic owner), he might be able to set something up for you. He's the handler for Myrfors, regarding MTG.

I'm European, and speak german (somewhat decent), and understand french (somewhat poorly), so to me there's a difference in the languages. I can understand how americans couldn't care less.

Also, my entire deck is in german. It'd be a disaster if my duals were french or italian then.

That's nonsense. It's even more gentle and flowing than british unless you yell and rasp with intend to sound like Hitler in his speeches. Maybe you want to listen to one or the other german pop song to get an idea how the language usually sounds

edit: It's however indeed a bit clunky ;)

That is a good idea. first upgrade all Rev's into FBB before i would invest into letting them be signed in one go.

Btw i am not American. Although i would move out to the US if i would be given the option.

Even if you dislike foils, the atrociously that is the six different languages in your deck is just awful. Have some hierarchy man!

For example, I want zero English cards in my deck with the base language being Japanese. For a card like Underground Sea, that doesn't default to Japanese, I then go to german. Foil means less than language to me, but at least stick with a theme or common concept.

Thx, the goal is to make everything foil (exept FoW) and get some german FBB duals, but the duals & onslaught fetches are reeeally expensive. It took 3 month to get those fucking foil Goyfs :eek:
So I'm not done yet but wanted to post the current state especially after getting those super sweet Goyfs.

Also, I like mismatched languages, partially because it bothers other people so much.

While the altered duals pretty good i think that the alterer should get a slap in the face for those signatures... Also non-Steve Argyle alters with his signature... really?
That being said, i really do like seeing original series foils like those Dazes, Goyfs and Tombstalker. Especially those Goyfs and Tombstalker, them being from Future Sight makes them unique in a positive sense of way.

The whole alterations incl. signatures were made by my wife! So I will not slap her's face :tongue:

I love the alterations, but yes the signature is not the best, dont care it was for free anyway :wink:

I got the altered Lili first and were at the GP in Paris, so took the chance and got this signed. I have problem with this....

Thanks. I actually bought that card when i found it in Japanese. Was pretty rare. Not seen any other on either ebay and mcm. I put it in sometimes when i play with friends to troll against them and lose in style. Plan to put it in a Jund commander deck someday.

Unfortunately, it looks fake. I would not buy it, or if you have, I'd get a refund. I know this only from being a lurker on the signed cards group on facebook. This is the signature put out by a fellow named Joaquin Hernandez who was forging Quinton's sig for a while and selling them on ebay and MCM. His forgeries have very distinct characteristics that don't match up with any of Quinton's known sig variants, and this one has all of the telltale signs.

Markers would probably be the best to confirm this outright though.

I would absolutely love the Judge Dark Confidants because I love the old border, but the fugly shooting star in the middle of the text box is hideous. If it was at the bottom like the old foils, or where the set symbol normally goes... I'd have them instead of my set of foil Ravnica.

In my opinion is not a good idea if you plan to play big tournaments. Modifying the art of a card to the point that the card is no longer easy recognizable may lead to judges not allowing to play it. Another thing is extending the art, or making little changes, which won't affect the cards playability in big tournaments.

Example:
This card should be allowed to be played in a tournament:

Hello

This is my deck: http://imgur.com/a/iHbnF

Sorry for the recent elf spam, but I wanted to post this because I recently got some commissioned alters back and I think they looked great. I thought this deck was finally good enough to show.

I started playing Legacy around a decade ago and from the start, I knew I wanted to play Elves. It was fun and I was a high school student with little to no income. It was no where near tier 1 back then. Back then, it was an all-in combo deck with Summoner's Pact, Emrakul, and Grapeshot as the finishers.

Over the years, I slowly upgraded my deck. I took a break for a few years during college. When I came back, Elves became a whole new deck. With the new legend rule change which made Gaea's Cradle insane and the printing of Craterhoof Behemoth, Elves was finally good. I have a little more income now since graduating college and I upgraded from English nonfoil to English foil, and then now it's almost complete as Chinese foil.

It's the only deck I keep built. I don't really buy cards anymore unless they're simplified chinese foils that i'm missing. I plan to get almost every card altered eventually, so if anyone has any alter ideas, let me know. Stuff I like: superheroes, tv shows, random nerdy stuff, movies, pop culture references, etc.

When this deck is completely 100% chinese foil and altered, i'll probably work on simplify chinese foiling a vintage deck, career and/or future wife permitting :P

I chose the Khans of Tarkir fetchlands because they're cheaper so i'll feel less bad if I have them altered.

Why did you choose Simplified Chinese?

Why did you choose Simplified Chinese?

My parents are from China and I moved to the United States at a young age. As a result, I learned English as my primary language. I can speak and listen to Chinese fine but I can't read or write it. Over the years I've been trying to be Chinese literate so anyway helps. Using simplified Chinese cards helps me. Plus they look cool xD

He explained why he prefers Chinese cards, but not why Simplified over Traditional. I guess it's because its easier to understand for him, but I'm curious if it's for other reasons, like finding it more beautiful, or because there are more cards in Simplified than Traditional Chinese, so he can complete his decks, or because Simplified is less rare, etc. I asked for some reason.

Pick the language you prefer the most, and check which language has the most cards you need...

S-Chinese vs. T-Chinese is "tough". Old, super bold, blocky T-Chinese I like a lot, but it faded off at Odyssey. Meanwhile, bold, scripty S-Chinese looked good from Prophecy, and then started looking like crap at Fifth Dawn (but Urza's Saga depends - if it has flavor text you still get a bit of the good font).

The latest hunt for Vintage S-Chinese cards has been brutal for me. Think I'm up to a 5 Ichorids, 4 Duplicants and 3 Petrified Fields in T-Chinese.

Anyways, I'm toying with taking Dredge to Vegas for the hell of it (and I'm too much of a coward to travel with Power when I have trips on either side). Hopefully some rarely-opened foreign binder has my Ichorids, Duplicants and Petrified Fields.

First of all, do you have 10k per deck?
If yes, go foil japanese, if not go foil chinese.

You cant go full foil korean in any deck, and most likely you will have trouble going full foil japanese too (fow/duals/commander things/Karakas and so on)

German goes a little deeper than Japanese because you get Alice. Italian Legends are hideous and ghetto but Italian goes a couple sets deeper than German (Dark and Legends).

Old bordered Korean || Beta >
Old bordered German >
New Bordered Russian >
New Bordered German (Coldsnap / Kamigawa / Mirrodin)

Signed. Double signed if possible. I also like T-Chinese in Old Border if it can't be Koreeened (Legacy, Destiny, Masques). Sometimes I just get Koreeeeeeeen in addition to Russian for new stuff because sometimes I like that Koreeeeeeeeeeeeen feel for Vintage.

Edit: Like Magic the language game is exception based. If the name is more amusing in some language it can supersede the rules.

Im considering going all japanese in my pimped out lands deck.

That would mean swapping these:
3 Korean smokestack = Jap
2 Korean manabond = Jap
4 Korean Exploration = Jap
4 Korean Mox Diamond = Jap


And potentially:
4 foil wasteland (the good old kind) = Jap wasteland.

That way everything is either japanese or old original printing in english only (Alpha, Legends)


Any thoughts? It would cheapen my deck sure, but might be prettier?

Man this is up to you, i think pimping is not all about having the most expensive deck, is more about playing with the cards you like.

For example i got foil japanese Conspiracy's Brainstorms because i just prefer the artwork.
And umh, in your case i would definitely go for a japanese only deck :laugh:

I don't think you losing affected my placing in the top 8 in an event where it didn't matter I'm pretty sure I would have had my decklist* posted on the mothership either way. *My list is 57 cards on the mothership missing black lotus, mox emerald, and yawgmoth's will out of all the cards they could miss they miss those 3...one does not simply forget black lotus in a vintage decklist.

Yeah I was playing the TPS deck with a bunch of foils but some glaring omissions that while not all have been replaced at this point some have like the hurkyl's recalls being WB english was pretty bad luckily foils dropped like a rock from their $120 pedestal to less than half that.

Some doomsday lists in vintage run 1 dark ritual. I don't ever play doomsday in vintage though as I like TPS far more. Covered on the sweet playsets of rituals front though.

Pimping Merfolks (for Legacy and Vintage)

Want to go signed russian but not all cards are aviable, should I go:

A)
Signed russian (newer than 9th - commander)
Signed german (older than 9th + commander)
Signed english (only power)

B)
Signed russian (newer than 9th - commander)
Signed english (everything else)

I know it is a matter of taste, but hopefully you have good taste xD

After seeing so many rituals here, I decided to show my ANT, I've posted previous versions, this is the most pimp. ENJOY!:
Full Foil.
Almost full Signed (scaldings, gitaxians, past in flames, volcanic, tropical, dreads).
Almost full English (duals..).

I say Russian for the newer stuff that can be Russian. German for all other things that can't be beta. Then beta.

Reasoning being True-Name is stone fucking retarded and only in German. Villsenkraft also German. Stab de Nichts flavor text in German is awesome.

Beta Lords are ~$200 now so you could use Russian Timeshifted on the cheap.

I went Korean. Sadly there are no Korean Lorwyn block cards, but I make do.

Does the positioning of DRS's right hand (the one below the floating skull) look off to anyone else? The way it is positioned looks unnatural, like it's contorted. The left side of the hand and pinky finger should be more open to the viewer...

The print is sweet though, I'm just picking nits. :wink:

Now that you point it out I see it, but it's not "off" like the MtG Origins Jace. I think it's just that the shadows and the fact that you can't see his thumb make it awkward.

Keeping the thumb out of view definitely adds visual confusion because the brain is looking for one and wants to make the index finger into it. I assume the thumb is positioned in a manner similar to how it would look if you supported a basketball using only the tips of your fingers and thumb.

Primary source is better than picture of a picture. :laugh:

Edit: The positioning is also awkward. It's like her hands went numb and she can't bend her fingers.

Quite unfortunate BGS can't grade anymore of the cities, or at least there lack of willingness to get authentication from wizards. Either way, that's a beautiful test print. Is it magic backed or is it one of the white backs?

Las Vegas the city sucks. It was horribly unwalkable, hot, and expensive. The GP on the other hand...


Late but ... from Vegas. Yeah Las Vegas is the hell where people are skinned alive, if you aren't a degenerate gambler it's not ideal. Food is fun, but honestly we could eat better for less hundreds in SFO, NYC, CHI, ATL, SEA or any other real city. There is an unending supply of pussy, but if you are there being a magic nerd it's tough to leverage that.

I mostly got stuff signed and didn't buy a ton of stuff.

So, as promised earlier in the thread, here is a scan of a test print that (to my knowledge) has never been posted publicly before. To boot, I've asked around, and this print (as well as the rest of its brethen that I have access to) seems to be the only one of its kind. To put things into perspective, there are probably a couple hundred of Exodus test prints (each) running around and a BB foil Sotf/CoT from there is worth more than a grand. Foil 8e proofs have 2-3 copies of each running around, and the cheapest of those (for a crappy common) is going for 800 now.

http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff281/twol84/EE1-1-1-1.png
http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff281/twol84/EE2-1-1.jpg

The test foil EE above (regardless of whether it is actually turns out to be the only test print EE kicking around) was created to test certain aesthetics, as can be seen from the scan. I'll upload another (larger, better) scan with a normal foil EE beside it for contrast later. From an objective point of view, the most expensive other test prints are the 8e foil painlands and the textless Bargain, and the EE is easily at least in that ballpark. Same playing area as Splendid Genesis (higher than Fraternal) and certain blue summer duals. Some members (Yawg07?) here know about fifth dawn prints as well, and probably can vouch that they are 100% legit and exist.

In any case, the EE may be English (read non-jap) and not legal, but it is still a great collector's item, has a hefty price tag to go with it, and part of the game's history attached to it as well. I enjoy owning it, and I hope everyone enjoys seeing a new test print as well. This is the only place I'll be posting this at for at least a couple months :)

On a side note, I picked up another foil test print with the EE, but no other test print deserves to share the latter's spotlight. I'm going for a playset of the former, and will post the playset then. They are BB, legal for play, and no stax/chalice stompy deck can be fully maxed out without them. Till next time.

Edit: Clearer scan.

IMO JD is one of the best of the lot. Obviously there are some very desirable signatures there in Fricker, Hildebrand, Walker, Zug, among others. Obviously there are some more noticeable and more aesthetically pleasing signatures like Rahn, Swanland, and Cavotta's event signature. But what other signed card gets a funny string of comments every time it is posted on this forum? JD's signature is always a conversation starter and people enjoy it, which makes it a very good one to me, even if it is for unusual reasons.
