[DO NOT TRY TO SELL IN HERE] Pimp Legacy Decks

[Kathal]

They added S-Chinese this year, since there were problems with faked MM1 cards (if I remember correct).

Greetings,
Kathal

[CutthroatCasual]

So did they just pull it at the last minute as a f-you to the mainland Chinese because of the counterfeiting problem? Or is it so rare that no one even has pics of product?

[gRR!!]

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.

I have to agree. jD's sig (or my Simian Spirit Guides signed on the back) are always excellent ice-breakers :laugh:

I can say s-chinese mm2015 cards are over flooded here now and I am tired of seeing my friend crack booster boxes after boxes...

I absolutely have no idea that they are rare.

Tell your friends to sell their stuff overseas, the stuff is impossible to find over here. :wink:

Got two cases of S-Chinese MM15 from my LGS... doesn't seem to be any problem around here getting cases of the different languages.

Any 'mericans looking for non English would just get the original printing. Reprints are fucking shit.

Anyone know if there are any old-boarder foil Basics that have the art actually foiled? Or are all old-boarder foils the old process?

[guillemnicolau]

All old-border basic land foils have non-foil art :(

The only legitimate cards that have the old border with full foil art are the old border judge promos (SoFaI, SoLaS, dark confidant, noble hierarch, crucible of worlds...), and the old border Time Spiral cards.

Can you please let us know how you aquire all these cards? From friends, auditions or do you contact each dealer seperately? Do you get everything in gold? Do you send them the marker also?

[KIP_NZ]

Some of this has been posted in here before but I wanted to make a post about finally completing my vintage SB play set of 3 Tabernacles for shops & I figured I'd stick some other cards in the shot.

http://i.imgur.com/N5va36u.jpg

Top 2 rows is stuff from my EDH deck. My deck is old frame only, original printing where possible unless there's a cooler card option (I'm going for 40 FBB duals currently). The deck is far from tuned, basically it's a bunch of cool old cards slapped together, one of the tabernacles lives in that deck day-2-day.

Bottom left is my progress on getting AN Mountains for my Imperial Painter deck, managed to source 4 so far and would like 3 more. Bottom right is my 3 Tabernacles, it's funny how I didn't blink an eye at paying $4600 for my beta lotus but I wish washed for a week on spending $600 on my 3rd Tabernacle :)

[Rokkastut]

All cards aquired in German, will now start to get some signed and altered.

Got them from a friend; paid about 4,5€/each in the end - we were both kinda unsure what the actual value is, since they vary ALOT in price on MKM (2-15€ dafuq). BB 9th is just awesome - and russian kinda fits into the Tron-thing-theme :cool:

I feel like Omniscience is the bigger offender. No more casting 3 DTTs for free turn 3 to find your Emrakul and cast it for free while your opponent sits there.

There is no question Dig is the offender, lol.

[iamajellydonut]

There is no question Dig is the offender, lol.

Basically. As much as I think that Dig is too often used as a scapegoat, in this instance it's clearly Dig that's the enabler of the deck.

[Kanti]

Not sure if I would call it enabler of the deck, as Omniscience was a deck before it existed. It definitely benefits the deck that it can be used pre-combo or post-cobmo, so it's not a dud in hand, which is a Show and Tells deck biggest and most basic problem. Anyhow, format or SCD should not be held in this thread, so lets refrain from doing so without posting something regarding pimped out Legacy cards.

Semi related.

The test print engineered explosives, who knows how many exist and who owns them? Im very interested in this information.

Two. One with me, one with another guy who will never sell it. I wish I could be of more help, but I think these are safely off the market.

On a semi-related note, I think last weekend was the first time a high end 5d test print (staff) was seen in public

Now those are textless bolts, not that stupid oval frame MPR crap. I'd do terrible things for a playset of those.

[Rokkastut]

Quick question;

When getting a complete deck signed, I have started to get it signed in silver because it looks good. But how do you feel about mixing colors on signatures? Should I just continue in silver or go black and just get the silver cards double signed?

[iamajellydonut]

I've always preferred the cards that are candidly signed with either the artist's choice or whatever is on hand, but if you're going for an organized "I gotta have it look sexy!", then changing up styles mid-way through is probably not the way to go.

[CutthroatCasual]

whatever is on hand

Yo, Mr. Rush, can you sign my Beta Lotus? All I've got on me is a BIC Ballpoint though...

Yeah probably just stick to silver, but it will be alot of extra work. Hopefully it will be worth it. I did this when pimping Vintage Russian Humans, it kinda got out of hand... ;-X

[Rokkastut]

Sorry for doublepost, I really hate that... but:

Is there some place where members can discuss signed cards?

* Autenticity of signatures, list artist that will be at premier events, discuss difficulties to get signatures from some artist, share experiences when dealing with artist, and just show off signed cards?

There is some going on in this thread, but I feel it would be mostly off-topic (Except from the showing off part ofcourse)

Are you the guy on MTGsalv, or bought it from the guy on MTGsalv? If you got it off of ebay, or a similiar auction site, would you mind giving me the sellers username so I can try to see if there's a link between them? I think I tracked down an owner of another red Meditate basically, and want to know if you are him.

Thanks a ton for replying.

Wow that's a steal on the usea, Chris Roberts sold his Trop at 10k? And that was a private sale. It's nice to see a non-blue summer dual too, wish I was in a situation where owning one of those beauties was possible. Still need to pick up a summer island for UWR delver

The condition wasn't really good, that's why it had that price. They were at the Giulio Trapani's (Arcana was the store) booth.

[jandax]

Any idea who the vendor is? Would like to have some words with him :)

Haha I actually took that pic with you in mind, occam. As stated the vendor is Arcana, and those didn't move all weekend so he surely still has them

Of course they didn't. Not while you were looking. I'm pretty sure Librarities has a decent write-up to help prevent dangerous purchases.

Hey Noctalor, do you still have those Japanese Foil Cabal Therapies?

I've got a set of S-Chinese ones (the rare script-looking ones) I'm trying to trade away for Japanese foil since the rest of my storm deck is in J Foil.

Yes i still own them but i play 3 decks, grixis pyromancer, storm and dredge, all of them in foil japanese and all of them with 4 therapies MD, so i will keep them most likely :wink:

Two. One with me, one with another guy who will never sell it. I wish I could be of more help, but I think these are safely off the market.

On a semi-related note, I think last weekend was the first time a high end 5d test print (staff) was seen in public

Hmm... I wonder who got to see that 5D test print? :wink:

It was a pleasure to finally meet you.

I might be visiting again after GP Sydney, just an FYI.

Enjoy!

Impressive as always. I am making two full signed legacy decks projects myself, so I know that it's not about just having money. I am wondering if you have future sight signed tarmogoyfs. Have never seen those so far.

[thegrinningdemon]

I just traded for this Alpha Time Vault. I thought it was interesting being so far off center. I am slowly collecting an Alpha set and it's slow going.

[Dat_Gentleman]

I have seen and own some seriously tricky artists, such as Una Fricker, Tom Wanerstrand, and Anson Maddocks. I honestly don't believe signed FS Goyfs exist. It's one thing if they were just all personal and not for sale, however I have never even seen a single copy period. Maybe someone has better info about the artist, but I think it's a case of refusal to sign at all.

:(

[Chimera87]

Last weekend, at GP Lille (where I played horribly in the high temperatures, I think I'm part eskimo), I got a chance to meet Matt. He kicked me out of the tournament as a nice greeting (We were 1-2 at the time, he had a great matchup).
Of course, meeting a fellow sourcer from abroad (Canada, woo!), I required something in return for the thorough beating he gave me... behold.

It's always awesome to meet great people when a tournament itself isn't going so well. GP Lille had some serious issues with the AC (it was broken, thank you France).

[jandax]

If this is Matt, he recognized my source playmat on Sunday during a MM draft and said "hey, a fellow sourcer"

To which I returned the salutations and he then departed.

Nice to happen to meet you! [emoji120]

Because it's hideous compared to the Tempest ones...

How do people in here feel about FNM promo foils in general? Are they even worse than "non-foil"s?

[Julian23]

Where I play, any kind of FNM promo is considered a proxy until you get the real card.

Unless it's the only old frame foil around, like Swords to Plowshares.

[iamajellydonut]

Are they even worse than "non-foil"s?

You tryin' to say something about the master race non-foils, bud?

Anyway, some promos are actually better than the set foil. Like the WPN Path to Exile and the FNM Bloodbraid Elf. But by and large promos are shit. Like, if you have your choice between original non-foil and new bordered FTV foil with patented X-treme Fold technology, the original non-foil will always win.

[KevinH]

I prefer things to be foil, Japanese, and original printing. If this isn't possible, then here's the hierarchy of importance: Foil > Original Printing > Japanese.

[iamajellydonut]

If this isn't possible, then here's the hierarchy of importance: Foil > Original Printing > Japanese.

I would rather play with a shit-flecked border-erased Tempest Lotus Petal than that FTV abomination.

Can anyone help me to decide if this card is fake? Should i post this somewhere else, i can't find a dedicated thread for counterfeit card discussion.

it looks (to me) to be discolored (somewhat brighter) than a normal card, especially visible on the black border. I don't have any original cards from antiquities to compare side by side. It's a NM reserved list card for 300 and i don't want to be suckered with it. Your opinions will be much appreciated.

If "counterfeits" get to the point where they're literally mimicking the WotC official printing process (text is printed separately and doesn't use Rosette pattern), then they might as well just be called "genuine" MTG cards.

What are your thoughts on FTV Trinisphere? It is much cheaper than Darksteel Foil Trinisphere and actually in some places even cheaper than non-foil Darksteel Trinisphere.

Generally speaking the 'premium'/special foil sets have a crap foiling process resulting in a card that folds over like a lawn chair. Freshly opened FTV sets will often present a stack of curled cards that look like mtg Pringles

[Julian23]

In the foil-loving community, I assume this price reflects a distaste for FTV Trinisphere and possibly FTV foils in general? Can someone explain to me why?

For a lot of people (including me) any kind of reprint of a card is considered just a "proxy" if the original is already available in foil (preferably old frame).

FTV foils are the one thing that can unite the foil-loving and foil-hating communities. They just look nasty. Don't bother with them IMO. They used a weird foiling process with all FTV (and some other "premium" products) that just makes them look cheap and gaudy. If you're going full foil and have no other options, then okay. You gotta do what you gotta do. But if a set foil option exists, you gotta take it. Because those FTV foils look like doodoo. That's really all there is to it.

Hello Kings!
Was busy, haven't posted anything for a long time. I see there were many foil English and Japanese decks this year. Very cool!

I've got some cards last time, mostly nonfoils but there were many foils) Had no time to manage that pile since May. Decided to show you before sorting, hope you like it =)
Want to post a deck someday =)

So here are foils I got in June(and May).

Sorry, if I'm off topic. A friend recently purchased an 8th ed test print. In order to guarantee authenticity, is there anything I should be looking for? Any help is appreciated.

I assume you are referring to jud 8th. White backed, thinner, test print frames and printing look pretty crappy. Colour deviations are part of the package. Or, post a pic.

Source: I probably own more of these than any of the other folk named have at any point in time.

So nice.

I'm still disappointed I sold out a few years ago. I was working on a German pimp EDH deck at the time, but it's all gone. Can I have my foil German Thoughtseize back plz?

What trading websites are out there? I remember doing a lot of German trades on one specifically, but I can't remember it for the life of me.

Is this the "just in case" option pickup?

[Allcoin]

Is this the "just in case" option pickup?

I've picked up 4 foils now, and 2 nonfoil Russian. "Just in case" falls under the same category as "origins sucks" for me

So, I know it's not a Legacy deck, but I wanted to post a few scans of my Krenko, Mob Boss EDH deck. This is a project that I started once I sold off my Goblins deck two or so years ago; while I love that deck and all the crazy interactions it has, it simply can't keep up in the post-DRS Legacy meta; however, I honestly applaud those few Goblins players who keep the faith.

Anyway, here are my rules for "pimp" as far as EDH is concerned:

1) Foils (usually) reign supreme, unless the artwork is abhorrently ugly (I'm looking at you, Seventh Edition Goblin Matron!). I'm also a sucker for promos.

2) English language. Yes, yes, I know. Korean, Russian, Japanese whatever is "better." However, if I'm derping around with some EDH scrubs I want to have some kind of clear way to explain how I'm stacking Goblin Assassin triggers, or pulling of the Kiki/Conscript combo. And, as a poor person, English pimp is cheaper.

3) Snow basics are a must. This deck features 28 of them, all the Coldsnap edition. I guess I could run Skred or Scrying Sheets for fun, but I mostly love snow lands for their art.


Now, to start things off, the Mob Boss and his cronies (many props to the wonderful rk post for his awesome tokens):

To wrap things up, here are some closeups of my favorites. First, one month's rent in paper cards:

While I was buying these (the Recruiter especially) I truly wondered if I had some kind of mental disorder.

My three favorite goblins out of the deck:

https://i.imgur.com/bnFbnCj.jpg

And lastly, my favorite non-goblins:

https://i.imgur.com/7EGjKLe.jpg

I really love foils that expose extra detail that non-foils obscure simply by their flatness. Purphoros is especially awesome, as I had no idea he was covered in molten gold! Finding these kinds of details make pimping an even more rewarding experience, even if it is more expensive:

https://i.imgur.com/8cLry29.jpg


It's not much compared to some of the stuff on here, but I love it anyway. Pimp is, after all, what you make of it.

Thanks for reading!

Guys, I need some advice.

I have an opportunity to buy nearly a playset of Summer Magic off someone I recently discovered locally. He has most of the cards in the set, including all the duals except for the Tundra... and multiple copies of a few.

Needless to say, he wants A LOT of money for all of this stuff. I definitely don't have the money to buy everything off of him, but I do have the funds to potentially buy some of the dual-lands and most of the commons/basics that I'd want.

I don't think an opportunity like this comes along very often - should I just completely blow my budget and buy as much of his Summer that I can? If I'm more conservative, what should i prioritize buying first? I don't know how much longer this offer will be available to me as it seems as if he's a bit eager to move this stuff.

I actually had some of this money ear-marked for buying playsets of Beta duals but now that this opportunity came up, I have a hard time deciding which direction I should go. I don't think I can justify buying Summer AND Beta at this point.

[socialite]

Summer will hold value regardless of reprint policy down the road, questionable of ABUR. To me Summer seems the safer long term bet despite it being harder to move outside of collectors. TBH Beta Duals are the most overrated thing on the planet, half of the shit posted in PIMP threads might as well be Unlimited or Revised it's so fucking beat.

I loveit when someone wants to trade a bunch of little rares against such good gards like that. The biggest cards I threw in were noble hierarch and damnation, also ulamog and monastery mentor. Then he took some origins (crappy) pw and almost a hundred of bulk rares. But hey, we're happy on both sides so why not eh?

To hungry to watch.. rage quitting forum now.

Also mad props nedleeds for you will to accumulate all these cards in such a wide spectrum (playable to.. well very fringe playable). Also the consistency with foriegn languages. I'm not really into signed cards, but having all these piles of signed cards (pretty much every deck imaginable must be, what 90% signed?) must be cool :cool:

ps: once I finish my set of goyfs I must post my crazy amount of Russian cards, so we can see who's got more of em :cool:

[nedleeds]

It's gotten to where there isn't much left to buy at Gencon magic wise, besides maybe getting double power. I need a few beta/island duals but trying to find beat ones that I can riffle shuffle at real prices is tough. I bought the Shadowrun deck building game I demoed, that beat Volc, and some stuff for old school. There were some $2500 beat seas, but SCG has dragged them to like 4 events now and I think they are overpriced. But with paper sanctioned vintage so infrequent it would be idle mostly, and I've got a CE set for loan in proxy events. On the ferrin' front there just isn't anything, maybe korean Show and Tells, but I'll likely never play that card unless it's Eureka 5-6. So now it's mostly about getting stuff signed, and hanging out with people I don't get to see very often and getting drunk and eating food. This year was great because I caught Paolo, Richard Thomas and Matt Wilson who are usually pretty busy at Gencon.

Hey guys I have a question. I'm building a Anafenza EDH, and I'm missing a sinkhole and I'm not sure wich edition to buy. I'm trying to foil the deck so promo foil would be the only otpion, but I saw that Alpha sinkholes in fairly good shape aren't that expensive (around 50 euros). So my question is: wich should I get?

The last two times we've gone to GenCon, we've spent way more time at the zoo, Children's Museum, etc. than at GC itself, largely because there isn't as much I am interested in, Magic-wise, so we just use it as a vacation and hang with our friends that live in Indy.

Oh, and thanks for torturing me; I am currently on a clear liquids only diet, since I have a procedure tomorrow, and seeing your food pics really felt great!

I'm about to kick off my journey into pimped out, foiling where possible, themed deck. I've got a few ideas of where I want to go, and I'm wondering if there's a good site where I can view *all* permutations of card including different arts, promo versions, and languages. Vendor sites are hard because they really only show what they have in stock, and a lot of times they don't even have pictures of the foreign cards.

I'm playing esper thopters and think it would be funny to go with a 'Superior German Engineering' theme, but there are lots of options out there and want to make my complete list of wants before I start picking up random cards.

And in the same vein, where do people get foreign cards from? I know there are some foreign card FB groups, is that a good spot, or are there some specific foreign vendors that are common (and good) to deal with?

[Undomian]

Facebook and large events are really the only places I find things anymore.

hotlikedimes, your best bet is one of the groups on Facebook. Most of the sellers also sell on ebay or have plenty of good references. If theu don't have what you need, many will also act as a proxy for Magic Card Market, which has a lot of foreign cards, but only is available to those in the EU.

Do you guys accept pimp casual decks here?

I hope they do, because I'm one package in the mail away from posting two. Also Wurm.dec looks awesome.

[iamajellydonut]

You're showing off a foil Crush of Wurms. A foil Crush of Wurms. The card that shaped my childhood career. In foil. In a deck.

If that's not pimp, I don't know what is. I am legitimately all sorts of fanboy for Crush of Wurms.

+1. Sweet, sweet nostalgia. I used to crush my friends from school so much with it they asked for it to be removed from the deck.

[Zupponn]

Glad you guys like it. I guess the next quest is to get it all signed.

[Pringlesman]

Man you guys aren't going to like this deck. English only, foil promo where possible. Modern border where possible. Now to get the rest of the deck signed.

Take a broom, you replace the handle and later you replace the brush, and you do that over and over again, do you still have the same broom? Well the same theory applies to this deck. At one point this was the first deck I built back in 05. Back then my goal was to use llanowar elves and fyndhorn elves to accelerate into that foil Thorn Elemental that came in the 7th edition starter deck. Later I used Wirewood Channelers to make massive Consume Spirits. Around Lorwyn I went with Elvish Champion/Imperious Perfect/Gaea's Anthem/Wilt-leaf liege. I've streamlined this deck quite a bit and it's a ton of fun to play.

I see often this whiteboarded asian Brainstorms. Are they so rare??

4th WB Korean are rare, yes.

Hello everyone, this is my pet deck for Legacy, which is an Enchantress. I've played with it for so long and still have so much fun playing it. :) I don't really have any foils as I am just not a huge fan of those, and not really into any foreign cards either, and I don't like my stuff signed. But I'm really proud of it and I play it with pride. :)

And this is my playmat, I don't know if anyone will recognize or know the value of this thing.
Most people don't even know its valuable. :)

On the picture are Chinese Fifth though...

[jrsthethird]

They're 5th edition. Brainstorm wasn't in 4th, and 4th was BB in Korean. A single copy went for $90 on eBay auction, with playsets at $160 and $240.

That said, those are certainly Chinese. Not as valuable, but still rare.

T-Chi would be cheaper than Korean but S-Chi (which has expansion symbol that all other languages in 5th lack) is actually harder to find than Korean.

Edit: There used to be a bunch Korean BS on MKM but someone bought them all. Massive spike incoming...

Very nice, I played a lot with that deck, in every format. Even in Vintage!

[supremePINEAPPLE]

It's such a shame UG madness isn't available in modern. It seems like the perfect home for the deck and people would go nuts. Even just having the core pieces would be awesome.

Great looking deck!

Simplified Chinese 5th was printed after the release of 5th edition, this was the first time the two dialects were printed in tandem. There's no real information on size of print runs (that I'm aware of) but one could extrapolate by the re-release of Korean in M12 and it's subsequent shortage from being printed after the initial release of M12 that S-Chinese is indeed more rare than Korean 5th. It's not as impossible to find though and it doesn't seem to really carry a premium over other 5th edition languages.

-awesome madness deck-

Beautiful deck, and good nostalgia. Thanks for posting that. Also, I miss the days when you could play standard with little-to-no rares. Now you need 50%+ of your deck to be bomby rares/mythics.

[thecrav]

Take a broom, you replace the handle and later you replace the brush, and you do that over and over again, do you still have the same broom? Well the same theory applies to this deck

If you ever feel like diving into the wikipedia hole, this thought experiment is called The Ship of Thesus (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ship_of_Theseus)

Yeah I had the same feeling, especially because the whole deck costs only 100-150€ in foil, maybe do that :smile:

I just had my EDH general Zirilan of the Claw altered by a fine fellow by the name of Eric Claar.

Truth, Modern might actually be worth playing in that case...

I've been having quite a bit of difficulty getting my hands on two more brainstorms. :/

Ask around, Librarities/MCM/Facebook Non-English group.

They are rare but part of that is also due to the low demand. I guarantee there's plenty out there that are just not posted due to the lack of interest in Chinese. I never thought I'd see as many 5th Korean Brainstorms for sale as I do now, stuff just comes out of the woodwork once people know there's a demand for it.

[Pringlesman]

I'm not sure if this is un-pimp or super pimp.

Necropotence circa 1996. Still need to make a sideboard for it. I could have either made the deck with grimey played revised cards and thrown them in an Ice Age starter deck so it looked period and then played the deck without sleeves(which is what I did) or tracked down beautiful beta and antiquities copies of everything and played the deck in sleeves which I did not do.

Next to work on turbo stasis.
