Recently came back from a vacation visiting my wife's family for the Chinese new year. My father in law gave us each a red envelope with a bunch of Chinese money so I decided to pick this up while I was over there.
Huge fan of these. I usually hate new border anything over old border anything, but chinese FoWs just look so pretty.

WB Fifth Edition blast are always an option :)? I don't mind running WB for language purposes but your opinion might be diferent

I'm 100% WB 5th edition for Blasts and Brainstorms. I get being white-border averse, but classic card frame >> new card frame.

It's about wasting money purposely :wink: Saying you want Ger foil and buying not-Ger foils is doing it wrong. And it's probably not even like he made the decision to go Ger recently, or else why would he have spent the money on EMA foil Tops when he had many other, harder-to-source-in-German cards already? :eyebrow:

Haha i did it on purpose. i dont mind revealing extra information to my opponents when im playing the deck anyways, its a homebrew.

cant find judge foil maze of iths though, went to 3 GPs and only manage to buy 1.

have 5 different wasteland arts to choose from which is fun.

certain foils are avoided like mercadian rishadan port foils which is way out of reach in terms of value. i rather FBB the trops which will cost the same.

need to upgrade the dark depths soon. good condition dark depths foil are hard to find at where i came from.

added walking ballista but have not taken a photo of it yet. it should be playable as an alternate win con + hedging against mother of runes and sanctum prelate.

I'm already playing walking ballista in my SB. It's pretty good. I'm surprised you can't find judge mazes, they seem easy enough to get. Try online somewhere?

Just make it a long term goal on the ports. Took me 3 years to foil this deck out. :P

I'm not the only one in here that things that WB stuff doesn't belong in the pimp thread :rolleyes:

I see. UNL Hypnotic Specter vs M10 shiny Hyppie? By your logic, the latter wins, yes? Give me the original framed, non-shiny WB any day. That's totally ok, and I won't insult your choice. At least not to your face in this instance. We're gentlemen and should act accordingly. Cheers.

Beautiful deck! Would have made a few different decisions, but I always appreciate a fully foiled deck. What will you do about your duals, now? :tongue:

I will get them altered later on. I am afraid of investing in FBB due to increased number of counterfeits.


Those Thoughtseizes have no business not being Lorwyn :mad:
Those Brainstorms have no business not being Masques :mad:
Those duals have no business not being FBB :mad:

I do not like Masques art. Your other points are fair. I will get my Thoughtseizes altered as Darth Maul, Darth Vader & Kylo Ren in case I can find a good artist in altering business in China. I am afraid of investing in FBB due to increased number of counterfeits.

Never have posted a full deck before, but here is my casual vintage deck. Its not a competitive list, it was mainly built
to be halfway consistent and fun at kitchen table.
as you can see i have no uniform pimping style, for different cards i prefer different languages. if you see a card that appears not alpha or foreign, look again, its a misprint :)
everything that can be foil, is foil (also the russian jace :) )

the only two cards that bother me are the mystical tutor, of which i just dont have a special version, and the black lotus, which is "just" beta,
but i cant afford an alpha atm, this will have to wait a bit.

Not sure if this counts as 'pimp', but I just received my third FBB German Tundra for Legacy Miracles so thought I'd post it. My preference is for original printing non-foil in English or German (NM / SP). The main exception is Ponder, which I'm sure is not new here. Feedback welcome!

I like this style a lot but would try to complete getting all German if possible (don't know if it's all available). Also, I'd go with Lowryn Ponder. For me, it's nonfoil, 1st print, in 1 language. Thanks for sharing!

The russian foils "only" have a part of around 8.5k in the deck, the value added by them is negligible.
Even with regular english nonfoils it would be a lot over 40k. Also note that the guru islands are no normal islands but misstamped gurus. Less than 20 are known to exist. Each is a few grand by itself.

Hey guys, looking for some advice.
I have a nearly full non-foil japanese UR Delver deck - which I also play in vintage with small tweaks.
The only non-japanese cards are revised duals, beta basics and alliance Force of Will.
I am a bit on the fence regarding the Forces.
Would you switch the Forces for japanese EMA ones, favoring consistency over old borders & art ?
I know altering would be an option, but I'd like to keep my cards unaltered.

I hope the mix of foilings (pack v. Judge v. PDS v. FTV v. Masterpiece) doesn't get you in trouble; for example, you can even see how different the PDS is from the others. I imagine it'd feel a lot different, too.

* almost finished my ANT deck (only need the Polluted and Misties in Japanese)
* 80% finished my current Legacy deck: Canadian Threshold
* 95% finished my Tiny Leaders deck (Thalia)

Now I had the most fun with vintage these past years, and today finally finished my vintage deck; thought I share :)

The list I played at eternal weekend had a Tezz and an extra thoughtseize instead of the two thirsts for knowledge I added ( testing them, not sure if I play enough artifacts) ...
In a meta of maindeck pyroblasts, sphere decks with fast ravager/balista kills and fast paradoxical storm decks old Tezz is not so good I am afraid :s

After the legacy playmat was a miss ( really blurry life from the loam image :/) I was really happy to see that the metalworker playmat came out supersweet :)

Not really anything too fancy there as I like to keep it simple and clean, but I wanted to share this deck here as I take this pile of old school beauty for a last spin tonight.
I'm downgrading my Beta duals to those fugly German FBBs to pay for my wedding next year, so I'm 0% regretting having to do this, but it's still the most aesthetic deck I'll ever have built imho so it's still gonna hurt inside :smile:

Sure strictly speaking noone ever "has" to do anything ever, cosmically speaking. Except more or less obey the law of physics by default.

Generally people understand what's meant by such expressions though.


So phrased otherwise: IF i want to get married and have even a small size party /relatively cheap, for some family and friends (which I both do), I have to sell my Betas to be able to pay that. As I will be unable to find another source of income being disabled = unable to just 'get a job'.

More correct now? :wink:

(my fiancee is btw totally okay with me buying expensive magic cards, it's my money after all. So no "wife pressure" into selling cards here at all.
But I'll have to be able to provide my own 50% of the costs regardless :wink: )


Anyway; a big pity they started making the textboxes so crowded after Unlimited, resulting in FBB looking so much worse than Beta in general (in addition maybe to colors, not as broad a border or whatever other uglifications they invented in 1994 :tongue: ).
I don't care for foils at all, but some ancient bordered cards do make my heart go faster!

Sweet deck! Don't Buy foil FoW, they suck (Although I haven't seen the EMA Version live yet, but Judge...No!)

I'm in camp M10 3-Ball Ponder too, so let's ignore the haters :D

Thanks! I've seen the EMA foils live and didn't like them, nice arteork ruined by M15 frame and a hologram. So comparing the signed originals to the not so horrible as the EMA version Judge FOWs I'm gonna stick with the originals.

On the of case the Vendilion Clique, I like both the Judge promo art and the original a lot but the judge version available to me for a good price. The DCI stamp is horrible I know. Thankfully there weren't much Miracles in my meta so I haven't played the card a lot.

I actually like the the MM15 Art the most and that's what I am currently playing. Yeah it has the worse frame and sticker but I just like it.

Im speaking of aesthetics and not the actual card (quite surprised i had to point that out).
But seriously, anyone who finds young pyromancer as acceptable art probably loved the new alien cgi in covenant.

So for those of you who saw my S-chinese foil elf deck, here is my current project: S-chinese (foil when possible) uba shops. I am still missing 1x Barbarian Ring (S-Chinese Foil), 1x Chalice of the Void (S-Chinese Foil), 3x Crucible of Worlds (S-Chinese Foil), 1x Mana Crypt (S-Chinese Foil), and 3x Uba Mask (S-Chinese Foil). Overall, pretty close to done.

Appreciate it! Especially at the time when I started, conspiracy or eternal masters had not been announced. There were just too many cards with no foil version (at the time), so JPN was the way to go.

I don't want to start an argument, but claiming that going jap non foil is the best way of pimping is an insult to those actually going full pimp.

And I think that land deck is beautiful for example, but claiming that non foil jap is even on the same page as full foil rus/misprint and even just full foil jap is nonsense.

Pimp, in a way, has to be linked with the actual cost of a deck, and that lands costs less than getting 4 foil jap ports...

Ok first of all, saying Jap is insulting. Stick to JPN or Japanese instead.

I must agree that the very high end Foil, bèta and misprint is true pimp. More Pimp is more expensive.

Unfortunatly i have had very bad experiences with Foil card in compative environment causing game losses etc. So i decided long ago to sell the crap and 'stylize' my favorite decks rather then pimping them and buy NON-foil JPN (signed/altered).

Morale of the story is that i like to call my NON-foil JPN decks 'styled' rather then pimped. Or Maybe it is just budget pimp. Whatever. Please Keep on posting beautiful cards and decks and stop bitching.

Get's boring too read the same crap every 5 pages from you... the english basic+italian Dual+jpn rest-guy, how feels, he has to judge everyone's deck because obviosly he is the head of the totally objective pimp council

Full non-foil jpn is aesthetic for sure. But full pimp? No way. You can buy most legacy decks full-jpn for less then a playset of jpn foils of the most expensive cards like noctalor said. They are (mostly) not even hard to find and cheaper than english foils mostly.

I almost never bitch about decks posted here, I only feel triggered by full FTV being called pimp.

As I said, I think that lands deck is cool, and it's pimped, but even the guy owning the deck is calling it not full pimped.

And I'm just honestly tired of reading "animeguy" claiming that jpn is full pimp, mostly because I know how hella hard is to actually complete a single foil japanese deck or even getting a bunch of misprints, while I could buy a japanese kernel just by selling the few actually pimped decks I own and buying cards online, japanese non foil card are not expensive/hard to find.

In a way, reading those posts is like spending years of hard work for a PHD in astrophysics and having to hear people claiming the Earth is flat.

PS: I've always said jap, even when dealing with Japanese people, what's wrong with that?

I know. I am not aiming at you or anyone. I am ranting on the topic in general.

I can appriciate any effort one has put into his/her collection and love seeing exclusive cards. It is just Painful to see people in such a fruitless discussion. Maybe we miss a Guide-to-pimp with some do's and don'ts.

So I'm on vacation back home. Find 3 old long boxes. Find some hidden gems from back in the day, cracked a ton of packs of tempest and urzas block so it was mostly chaff from those packs. Had stuff like wasteland, 4 ancient tombs, random ABU jank, staple commons and uncommons etc. Went down to the local to ship em. After all is said and done I get a store credit amount and inquire about the Chaos orb they have marked MP (I've seen this grading sold as NM on mkm, their grading is definitely favourable for buyers) quick browse on mkm and the price is right. The MP sol ring looked great til I pulled it out of the sleeve. Lower right corner is lightly inked, big bummer. So they call the store buyer up front to look at it, I walk him thru what's wrong with it. He ain't happy but has to eat it. Basically get it thrown in 😂 only paid $230 for those two in store credit, nothing out of pocket, after trading in a whole bunch of junk. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170605/e19c110914796fdca97aa4835fe3f858.jpg

LOL yes, I usually arrange the deck lands first alphabetically, then creatures alphabetically, then planeswalkers alphabetically, then other spells alphabetically, reversing order in alternate rows. Then I arrange sideboard the way it looks better. Pimp world problems, totally :)

At that time there haven't been neither Grixis Delver nor UR Delver in Legacy yet. It's just a legacy so to speak from a time when other decks used to play Foothills as well: Zoo, Goblins for example. Doesn't make
any sense nowadays.

I've had some land hands where I didn't do something turn 1. You can apply the same logic to elves/aggro loam/infect with slow hands. I've found with the fetch lands being printed as widely as they are now it's a lot harder to tell what someone is on just by the fetches.

Deadeye_Mongoose
06-20-2017, 02:27 PM
at this point it's been long enough since Canadian was common that most people think I'm on UR when they see foothills. If they realize I'm not on grixis I don't really care since most of their decisions won't change that much. I'd rather be able to bluff something like lands which has a much bigger payoff.

Mr Miagi
06-20-2017, 03:03 PM
we derailing the thread a bit but let me just say i'd pick foothills in RUG before other fetchlands. Stfiling from foothills is just so dirty.

Finally getting back into the game after selling out a few years back.
GP Vegas was a blast, despite ending up X-4 at the end of round 9.

Still managed to get some sweet things over the week, and a few packages in the mail when I returned. Also made a sweet spec on Drop of Honey before the tournament and snagged 3. Still waiting on several signed cards, a few alters to make their way back from artists.

Pimpers, I have a pimp Q. I'm not trying to incite a riot here but I'm having trouble choosing the right Snapcaster Mages. They will be played in both Vintage and Legacy.

Here's the dilemma. I'm mostly an "older is better" guy as long as the card in question is, in fact, old. 2011 doesn't qualify as old for me so I go through my next few guidelines, namely art, language available, promos available etc etc. I don't really care about foils unless it's a particularly standout foil (I love the judge Sword of F&I/Sword of L&S for example). I think the art on each of the three Snapcaster Mages is completely rubbish (just my opinion :eek:).

So, the point of my very long story is; do I go for Japanese Innistrad non-foil, Japanese Modern Masters non-foil or English Judge foil? Completely torn on it. I kinda want some weird combination of the three. What a brat!

Again, not trying to cause a ruckus and I know the traditional hierarchy of pimpingness too, just looking for some advice on what to splash the cash on for an upgrade to my bland, shite looking snapsnaps...

IMO the best possible tron playset. I suppose if someone had a Foil Autographed Japanese set, that might be superior.

So, the point of my very long story is; do I go for Japanese Innistrad non-foil, Japanese Modern Masters non-foil or English Judge foil?I really feel like the original art is superior, not because it's the most aesthetically pleasing art in a vacuum, but because it's what a Snapcaster Mage looks like. It's the best version because it looks the most like a Snapcaster Mage, if that makes sense. In the same way, I think the MM art for Tarmogoyf is a lot prettier than the original FUT, but a FUT Tarmogoyf is what a proper Tarmogoyf looks like to me, and for that reason I always play those. Same with Wasteland, I absolutely love the art on the EMA version, but I play with Tempest because that's looks the most Wasteland-y. Well, that's my jam anyway. We all have different reasonings for our choices, and iconicness scores very high with me.

Regardless of all that, I'd like to add that I think the promo Snap looks like dog shit. The MM one is miles better.

Great points. Agree completely on Tarmogoyf too, when you see one hit the board you immediately know what it is and that's whats important about the aesthetic. I think I'll stick with Innistrad for now and see what comes in the future. Thanks!

Inninstrad snapcaster for sure because that's an actual person there. I don't really like when they do new art for people's invitational cards. The guy MADE that card, you know? It should be the OG art for all eternity and reprints.

Another general pimping question, is new RPTQ Emrakul the Aeons Torn cool enough to displace ROE Emrakul? Not being original set/old border hurts the new one, but the art is way way way cooler IMO.
