Why the Dragon package you may ask ? Why not ?!

[blackberrybold]

These japfoil Snaps look awesome.

to the depths deck, i guess there is no reason to not play the turbo version if you want to win, i guess ? also more cards in the same language for style points :wink:

If I could I'd only play with Korean cards but unfortunately it is not always available 😉. My pimp process is: Korean > S-Chinese (because I prefer smaller characters) and of course: old frame >>>>> new frame. I'm not into foils neither. I would also play with Alpha duals if I could afford them !

[TinkerRobot]

Some updates to my pet deck, so take it as it is.

"Some days I'm in my Yeezy's, some days I'm in my Vans." Kanye was talking about his sneakers, but I feel similarly about Guru vs. Summer basics. I just use whichever I'm feeling on a given day.

My favorite cards are scribbled on with marker in a language I can't read. From this deck I especially like the Korean vertically signed Animate Dead, the mismatched signed Reanimates, the miscut Reanimate (look closely at the one on the left, it has a crooked front but a normal back), the miscut Underground Sea/ Wrath of God, the French signed Forces, Japanese Dazes, and signed in gold Chinese Brainstorms.

[whocansay]

Christ, poor Elesh.. One of the most beautiful cards in the game.

Believe me, S-Chinese cards in new frame are garbage, I myself only consider S-Chinese cards from urza's saga, portal and 5th edition as pimp.

Could only play with two, chose the bottom two :)

Whatch'all know about Homelands pimp??

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

Got these two cards signed by the two Marks at GP Richmond.

Mark Poole was especially surprised (excited?) to see someone actually bring Apocalypse Chime to get signed. When I brought it to the table, he loudly exclaimed, "The Apocalypse Chime itself! The card that broke all of Magic, or at least... Homelands."

Mark Tedin just muttered something about "Cyclone..." when he signed the AEther Storm.

Lately I've been playing this deck. It started being a crazy idea to make good use of the unrestricted maze of ith in Swedish rules, but it seems a decent deck after top8ing in our local oldschool league twice in a row.

Eventually I would like to get my hands on a twist and a wheel. Seas will have to wait much more time..

Fucking rad as always. Two questions for you:

1. I've switched to perfect hards and dragon shields and my deck feels like a damn EDH deck, do you have any tricks for compressing it down to more manageable size?

2. What made you choose Godo as your EDH deck? Didn't take you for a prison kinda guy given the style of your other decks.

1. I've switched to perfect hards and dragon shields and my deck feels like a damn EDH deck, do you have any tricks for compressing it down to more manageable size?

I've been using Perfect Hards since they came out, so I can help you there.
Leave your deck in a deckbox where it barely fits for a couple days. This will compress it down and keep it that way.
I've found that the 100-card Ultimate Guard flip style boxes to work well for this.
Compress down your 75 + divider + tokens, put it into the deck box and leave it there for a few days.

[8bit9mm]

Very nicely done! I had to do a search to know the card made by John Matson. Never saw that Pyroclasm art before. Nice find!!

Thanks! The clasms were the last cards that I picked up, since they are very tough to find in the US (apparently).
Had to buy them from Japan and there was only one seller I could find that actually had them and they only had 2.



Nice deck!

What ungodly sum did you pay for those Pyroclasms?

Thanks!

I think in total, including shipping from Japan, it ended up being almost $120 USD for both.
I've seen that they run a little bit more on MKM/MCM but are more available. Unfortunately, those of us in the US don't have easy access to those without quite a bit of workaround.

I'm going stricly for the looks (I'm the kind of man that would have Summer altered) so FBB doesn't cut it for me, especially since I remember them "cheap" and chasing after A/B doesn't make sense for me anymore

And some other stuff to round out storm/doomsday:
https://photos.app.goo.gl/qAZqLBcqEaydRPdt7

There are various cards in there that aren't pictured as sets that I do have complete sets for. Was just running some odd numbers in decks and didn't get the others out to scan. Couple notable things I'm still missing signatures on: Flusterstorms and Reanimate. Aside from those, the signature project that I started about 5 years ago (getting Tin Fins signed) is basically done. FINALLY.

While most Doomsday players are on Experimental Frenzy (including myself), I have to say that this is the most fun storm deck I have played in many years (outside of Bizarro, but we'll call that a tin fins deck and stick with this being the most fun storm deck). Here is where I am at with Draw4 Doomsday. Only updates since the pics are the Polluted Deltas are now Onslaught.

Just saw these spiked to €400 on MCM. Wonder how much value will be sustained

[dericklol]

Need help from the community. I own some beta dual lands (3 tundra and 2 volcanic islands) and I'm contemplating if I should trade them to more duals like German Fbb dual lands or Unlimited dual lands so i can make more decks with them.

What should i choose between them from an investment stand point in the long run and pimping legacy decks.

Or should i just keep them?

Thank you! https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190726/d551460a185bd91f44299b24310fe1ba.jpg

TRADING/SELLING OPTION:

I don't really like unlimited cards, but I believe unlimited cards will hold the value better in the long run than FBB cards. That's due to a very important point. There is no information about the size of the FBB print run, but there is about the unlimited print run. Only 18000 of each unlimited dual were printed. No idea how many of each FBB duals were printed. It might be the same amount, it might be less, it might be more... No one knows. And scarcity is a big factor when collectors put a value on cards.
Also, unlimited cards have beta ink, it just changes the border, and that's quite cool.

Also, I have many FBB cards, and a few unlimited cards, and the paper quality is by far much better in unlimited. So when you play with FBB cards, the condition gets worse faster than unlimited (cards bend even when double sleeved). That will also have an impact in the cards value.

The last point is that FBB can't be in English, and I really like having the whole deck in the same language. And English is MTG's original language, which is also cooler IMO.

KEEPING OPTION:

As a long time investment, nothing beats AB cards.
1100 units of each Alpha rare were printed, and 3300 of each Beta rare (and in the beginning of the game cards didn't have nowadays values, who knows how many of those cards were destroyed by kids at that time, and we all know stories of cards destroyed by the postal service, or lost in floods). And there were no Volcanic Islands in Alpha, so there are probably less than 3000 BB English volcanics . When the game starts to die in a few years, I believe the prices on those cards will hold better than on any other cards. If you don't need the money, I say that you should keep them.

Going to start the process of partially pimping out my legacy pox deck (the only one I play regularly and plan to keep playing regularly). I don't plan on going full foil OG foreign or anything like that, more just original printings where possible, using full arts/promos where possible also and getting the art i like vs the lowest cost version of the cards.

For someone going down this rabbit hole for the first time, any tips? Do you go quantity over quality and get the less expensive ones first, do you go for the staples first, or just get what you can when it pops up?

If you want to play with foil / alternate art / full art cards as soon as possible, then buy what you can buy right away. But this will be more costly than buying the most expensive cards first.
I went through this process before and could'nt wait to get the credit to buy the most expensive cards of my deck (FBB duals) so i bought the foil basic lands (Full art zendkar as i loved the forest from John Avon) and the small end cards also. Then i bought a foil cradle and lost my deck and stopped :( (but this is another story)

Thanks for the reply. I'm not in a rush to play with them right away, as i don't get a chance to play often (hence why i've gone down to one main deck to play). But my takeaway on this is:

-Its less expensive (generally) to get the higher end cards first, but more "enjoyable" to have larger number of less expensive cards first.


Also, sorry to hear about your deck. I can sadly say I have an experience that helps me relate to that as well.

Never had beta duals or power. That was the reason why I sold all my beta stuff. I got close to 8k in trade for it all. Got 3 UNL moxes, 11 UNL duals, 2 serendibs and 1 moat. Even with
how high beta has gone lately I'm still happy with the trade.

[Mr Miagi]

I mean the art is beautiful, there's no deniying that (swamp is bit on the meh side, but the rest are gorgeous). But as in general rule of thumb, you should pimp not for others, but for your self. Not sure how to word it best but personally I also like to see how especially the lands complement the deck, its theme, overall appearance. There are indeed many beautiful basic lands, but there are subjective reasons why I'd run some in a specific deck.

I will be getting a set of 10 each, I think they are the most pimp snow-covered option so far, and I'm expecting a snow matters set between now and 6-8 months, so I hope we get a few extra worthwhile printings. To me, the fact that they are available only 1 day, makes this pimp. Not necessarily the artwork, although I do think it's the best foil snow-covered artwork so far. If I would design them, there would be more snow on them.

[ronco]

Current progress. Love the aesthetics of this but for sanity im going to aim for signed or mostly signed so there are no curling concerns although so far so good. Prob wont get the legends ones signed but maybe I will. Well see. Going to stick with English except for jpn alt art walkers when I can get my hands on them. Got the davriel set already.

Unfortunately, none yet. I had a very random chance to pick them up so I did, thinking I could keep them for when I need them in the future lol. Right now I'm jamming the loam pox list in the big picture (flipped cards in SB are flex slots). I like all things Pox so there is a non-zero chance these get used eventually.

Nice decks! I played against similar builds back in old Extended PTQs, and those were good times.

[Mr Miagi]

Good times indeed. Granted Premodern is not exact copy of old Extended since it includes all sests from 4th to Scourge (sans portal series). Fun casual format, it's intresting how games feel so different from MtG we play today let's say Legacy or Modern, totally different pace and style of games. Oh and the most sweet aspect are the feel goods when you can actually play with real iconic cards as Masticor, Tinker, Oath, Hippie, Tangle wire, BoPs, Ftks, Psychatog, Impusle, Fact or fiction, Gush, Armageddon, cards taht are either outclassed by today's standards or just banned all find home in this somewhat balanced format.

For the record, problems such as this might occur due to a recent change to The Source, where the site is being served over an end-to-end encrypted and private HTTPS connection. The image that Kap'n was trying to post inline is hosted on an unencrypted HTTP-only website, and modern browsers are starting to prevent the latter from being embedded into the former.

Hitting the Quote button for the post with the image that does not display will still show you the URL of the image, and you can copypasta it into a new tab to view it. (Alas, it seems that the image that is missing in this thread here also got deleted from the image hoster, so there's no bringing it back for us...)


If you want your posted images to properly display inline on The Source going forward, make sure to use an HTTPS-capable image host, and use HTTPS URLs to refer to your uploaded images. Browsers usually show when they (will, in the future, or already do) block so-called "mixed content" (HTTP resourced embeded on HTTPS sites), like so (screenshot is from Firefox 88):

https://coloss.us.to/cantseeshit.png

For demonstration purposes, the same image embedded via plain HTTP _maybe_ won't display for you - and if it does, this may change a few months down the road:

http://coloss.us.to/cantseeshit.png

If you see the same picture displayed twice, your browser does not (yet) block mixed content.

Ten months of non-stop collecting later, I proudly bring you the fruit of my most passionate relationship with cardboard to date: full-Chinese Cephalid Breakfast.

My God. I cannot believe this thing is actually done. It feels like a dream hahaha.

I'm planning on filming a video showcasing the whole thing, card by card, with vignettes about each (because each card is worth a thousand words, honestly). Just in case anyone's interested. For now... I'll leave you with these brief notes:

-All cards are in T-CH or S-CH barring a few exceptions that I will justify in this post.

-The Shuko is in JPN because it's a Kamigawa card and it Just Makes Sense that way.

-The FOWs are the two I've always owned, plus two HP copies from a good friend who upgraded to S-CH EMA. Sentimental value wins here.

-The Umezawa's Jitte was my dad's, who handed me his playset at the beginning of 2020 when he discovered I was getting back into Magic. I didn't want to replace them because of their history, so I asked if he could sign it. Yeah... that's my dad's signature on the Jitte, haha. In my heart, I know it'll belong to him forever.

-The Thoughtseizes and Flusterstorms are signed by the person that taught me Magic fourteen years ago: Matthew Danner, WOTC Creative Lead. I've owned the LRW Thoughtseizes for nearly as long as I've known him, and I knew I would never be replacing them, even with TSR SCH readily available. The Judge Flusterstorms are honestly just because I hate the M15+ border (which all its SCH printings come in, unfortunately) and I wanted something special. (Oh, and I'm not playing all 4 Seizes in the board: They're just to show off the signature. I'm still swapping sideboard slots around to find my perfect 15th card, so it's somewhat subject to change.)

-The Marsh Flats I pulled from my very first Zendikar booster when I was like 11. I'm more lazy than sentimental regarding this one lmfao but it's still a sweet story. :)

Finally, the Lt. Surge's Raichu is my Germ token. I received it as a Christmas present in 2020 after my best childhood friend passed away last November. We were both huge Pokemon fans growing up, and while I migrated to Magic and other hobbies, they'd always encouraged me to embrace and express my love of the game. Now, in spite of our celestial distance, their memory can be a part of me whenever I play.

I'm immensely proud of this deck and of completing the journey I took to make it. Nothing compares to the amount of fun I have playing this deck and winning with such archaic, quirky cards -- and creating unbeatable memories with opponents who truly appreciate all the silly flavor that this deck has to offer. Thanks for reading: Here's hoping I can serve you a meal somewhere in the world. <3
