I was going through my collection putting together some decks and taking apart others. Thought I might as well scan a few of the cool cards. T1 and T1.5
Picture 4 has cards from the Oath deck I am building.
The genesis foil is crimped, squint at the bottom.

Not sure if this counts.

Recently done for me by Tom.

Apparently there are a few Black Lotus in the tree line that are not in the picture he sent me, can't wait to receive it.

Oke,

So I posted the beginning of my gameroom like two years ago (which I still haven't finished), but here is my latest "pimp my non-card objects" project. Big credits for my dad, thanks man.

My dad does airbrush a little, but only as a hobby. Since he is an international trucker, it takes him a lot of time to finish a project. I've waited 5 months before he finished this one.

He sometimes does a few jobs, mostly helmets and motorcycles, but at the moment he only does jobs for friends and people he knows, since he can never make any promises how long it will take him to finish.

I don't mind seeing any nice cards on this thread, regardless of whether they are playable in legacy or not. I prefer to post weird cards and stuff like that instead of power, though.

Here's a scan of a juggernaut (I always scan such cards before grading) I'm sending in to BGS for grading together with some other stuff.

http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff281/twol84/sjug1.png
http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff281/twol84/sjug2.png

Here's a playtest dark ritual, to add to the shivan I posted a couple of months back:

http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff281/twol84/dritual.png

Like most playtest cards but unlike the shivan, this one is printed on card-stock.

If I decide to grade any other non-power stuff, I'll stick scans of them here before I pack them off. A fastbond I have might be able to get at least a 9, so probably that.

Those alters are awesome. I have like 10 alters and always intend to use them but I end up just admiring them in my binder.

My gf came back from Japan today and surprised me with 1 japanese phrexian dreadnought, 3 japanese bb mana vaults, and 3 japanese bb balances, among other things like 20 KMC 100s perfect fits. :smile:

I know this is a personal preference thrad, but I'm in the camp with everyone who is original print/English/best artwork. Only Beta basic lands for me. Only Beta versions (Bolt/Ritual/Elemental Blasts/Etc.) for me. Arabian Nights City of Brass. Hell, I even prefer Weatherlight Gemstone Mine over TS, even though the only difference is a symbol for the set. The best original artwork I've ever seen is the Winter Mishra's Factory. So beautiful.

Other than original stuff, I don't have anything brag worthy. The way some folks go nuts for foil asian signed stuff is beyond me. In the end, the most beautiful card ever is a NM Beta Black Lotus. At GP: Rotterdam there was a French vendor who had one that was mint, like it was pulled from a pack that day. He wanted 1,800EUR for it, and I can imagine that being a fair market price. NEver have I seen a lotus as fresh as that one. Get a certain Mr. Rush or Garfield to sign it and it'd be enough to make ya want to rub one out.

Pimp is not a matter of money like most people think, but a matter of art. Make your deck look nice along one theme and consider it pimped regarding your preferences.
As far as I'm concerned, I hate foils (I'm not playing Pokemon), I don't like asian languages (don't want my opponent to be calling the judge every single card I play) and I think alterations and signing can only be made by the artist or Richard Garfield himself. I don't mind people scribbling on Tarmogoyfs, but it really hurts when it's on a LoA or a BoB.
English and mothertongue are better for play, and there's nothing like the look of an Alpha/Beta card. The art is also very important for me, that's why I'll always play the Tempest Dark Ritual over even Beta ones (one of the only exception I make about the "A/B rules" rule!). Having the first version of a card is also classier, that's why I play IA Brainstorms over Mercadia ones and hate those timeshifted cards.

For all these reasons I don't post pictures of my decks here because most people won't appreciate it (due to their standardized -bad- tastes) and I don't want to hear "boo you're fetchs are not jap foils!"
About that, one thing that made me want to cry during one tournament long ago when I didn't have all the cards I wanted for my landstill deck is a guy complimenting me about a foil Counterspell (used as a "proxy" of a Beta one) after I played 2 Alpha ones during previous turns...

First saying that pimp is a matter of personal preference, and then saying that 'standardized' taste is bad makes you a hypocrite.

I like Japanese foils alot. I don't care if guys like you label it as 'standardized bad taste' or Pokémon.

Sea R Hill: I would love to see your deck. I hate foils, and i always go for the oldest version. Although im a fan of asian cards, there is nothing more beautiful then a full BB deck with everything that can be betaed out and the rest beeing non-foil just plain versions (for example just a plain english tendrils).

elof

08-27-2009, 04:17 PM

I tired almost everything, english, japs, foils, WB, jap foils etc. The thing with japs was that it was so hard to collect a full deck of them. With foils, well, I like Force of Will... and for jap foils, well, same problem there.

German cards is the only ones I play with now. I both like that there not foil and I like to read the cards because it appers funny to me. I will post pics of my new deck as soon as I can, but it will probebly take a few weeks.

Back, oh, six years ago when I was playing I had (and still have) a full foil UG Madness deck. Now, it's just a pile since who the hell wants foil Mongrels, Wurms, Logics, etc.? Pimping a deck can be fun, especially when others ooo and ahh, but when your deck goes from the shit to just shit it takes the wind out of your sails. :laugh:

Luckily, pimping a Legacy deck has a longer lifespan than Standard or Extended. :smile:

Sometimes, though, I don't like to play nice cards because people always want to pick them up and look at them. :mad:

Opponent: Ooo, is that an Alpha Demonic Tutor in mint condition? *Grab*
Me: Well, it was mint condition. :rolleyes:

I also took it as a snappy one-liner and chuckled.

I lent a friend a deck a few years ago that had some good stuff in it, a couple nice foils--nothing huge, but a deck I liked to play with. The dude is a bodybuilder who apparently still doesn't know his own strength, and all of those cards are U-shaped to this day from the force with which he bridge-shuffled them. I wasn't about to pick a fight with a friend, especially not one who lifts weights, but I liked that deck, and I wanted to use it again someday.

That sort of thing annoys me a lot. Why do people still bridge shuffle magic cards? There is no way to do this without damaging them in the long term. Side and pile shuffling isn't that hard to do...

One of my pet peeves is when people shuffle my deck out of habit after they ask if they can look through it. I rarely rip sleeves on my own, but I've had so many ripped by random opponents during tournies or people just looking through my deck.

On a side note, I've taken to just pile shuffling my TES deck for many reasons, not least of while is to preserve the foils.

Byrant, I have a request, can you post TES on here, in one complete post, it is one of the most pimptastic decks I've ever seen in parts, would be nice to see it all in one piece.

Are you aware that pile shuffling doesn't actually randomize your deck, and you will be penalised if your opponent / judge catches you only pile shuffling your deck?

Do you know who has a 8th ed foil Karplusan Forest? It's probably top 5 highest priced test prints and might make it onto a top 10 list of the most expensive cards ever. I would possibly like to make an enquiry about it.

Nice. Never seen one of those, or heard about it. What's the story?

Same as other 8e test prints. Single 110-card sheet used to test frames, foiling and various other aesthetic details. I believe there were huge sighs of relief when BoP wasn't on that list. As for the counterspell, like all other foil 8e prints, it cost quite a bit, but it is quite collectable.

Does anyone know if there are foil survival of the fittest and where I can get those?

As stated, they are currently available as foil Exodus prints in plenty of aesthetic permutations. SotF will probably be released as a judge foil, though. There are a couple of people on motl who have them, but they're a bit steep, and are silver-bordered, whereas a BB one (I have one but isn't for sale at the moment) would be worth quite a bit more. As far as rarity, they are rare, but nowhere near as rare or expensive as certain other test prints post-Exodus. Get a couple if you can. They're a great addition to any collection and would look great in your survival deck. LMK your price range and I'll keep a lookout.

I acquired all of them from various sources. I picked up the one on the right recently, and decided to start the global set, as the textless one is likely the hardest to find and I already have it.

The all-black foil is a filler -- a placeholder to fill up empty spaces on a sheet. In this case, the filler was used as the eleventh card on the sheet which led to the printing of the foil textless saga cards. It is part of both a filler collection and a textless collection.

Pending upgrade. I plan on keeping the duals FBB, anyone who's met me knows I refuse to play with English cards.

Heh. I have quite a few contacts who deal with Japanese cards (even though I personally don't). If you're looking to upgrade and have a price in mind, you can let me know.

I'm collecting just AN also 'cuz I'm Italian and here there is no culture about save your money in graded cards or slapped coins, here magic is just for players so you cand find a lot of PIMP rarities but rarely collectors decide to graded cards.

BGS is more correct than PSA but it's too difficult for me find, due to custom problems I can't send card to grade ( I would pay tazes for the value of the cards and not for the grading service) so PSA that is a little bit quite famous is easier to find for me.

Hi Jared,

Always good to see someone from the libraries around. I mainly prefer BGS because I feel that their grading is stricter and more consistent (the half grades are useful too), and I prefer their slabs too. :) I guess that from the point of view of someone who collects graded sets (iirc you fall within this group, whereas I don't), PSA is easily preferable as their documentation and support of their graded stuff is a lot better than BGS. There are some people who believe that PSA is tougher than BGS, and I don't know where you fall on that, but my opinion differs on that topic. PSA also has more overall grading experience for MTG than BGS, so I guess some people may take that into account too.

PSA is a lot better with authentication work, though. If you'd elaborate on your preference for PSA, I reckon that would be very helpful.

Hey Occam,

Pleasure to see you too. As for grading, I think your sentiments fall right in line with mine :tongue:. If I was only going to have a couple of graded cards for "showcase" purposes, BGS would most likely be my choice, as their slabs do display better imo, and are sturdier (so safer to carry around). As a set collector, the slimmer and simpler look of the PSA slab is preferred, and their Set Registry is incredible. Both seem to do a good job with grading, although PSA has a guarantee and BGS doesn't. On the other hand BGS is cheaper wrt grading fees (unless you submit a lot, also a benefit of PSA to setbuilders). Personally I'm fine with either - I may have chose PSA, but wouldn't hesitate to pick up a BGS card if the price was right :wink:.

geosgaen0,

Beautiful cards - good luck with your submissions!!! Alphas are a killer, as I'm sure you're aware. LMK how it turns out - are you going PSA or BGS? I have a PSA 10 Unlimited Lotus and a PSA 9 Alpha Lotus, as well as a PSA 9 Alpha Underground Sea (no Alpha Ancestral sorry to say, although I do have PSA 10's of both Beta and Unlimited :cool:). Always nice to see other "minty" ABU classics - thanks for sharing.

i dunno, which one do u think best for grading? PSA or BGS? i mean im still confused, bcos, some ppl said bgs are stricter than psa ( including that psa card 10 could be bgs 9.5 or even bgs 9 ), but some ppl said that psa is better in database.
what's ur opinion?

btw, i still have 5 alpha minty moxes, and 1 minty beta ancestrall signed coming for grading too.^^

thx^^

Hey geosgaen0,

Good question - truth be told I think either one is fine. Most of my experience is with PSA, so naturally I'm biased towards them, but I think you'd be fine with BGS too. When crossing between the 2, a PSA 10 usually equals a BGS 9.5, and the rest of the grades are about the same for both (9, 8.5, 8, etc.). A BGS 10 is a rare bird indeed - that being said they always make me think of the movie "Spinal Tap" (... ours goes up to 11 - lol). If you're looking to sell I'd probably go with PSA, as there are more people looking for them to fill out their sets; otherwise do whichever you feel most comfortable with. Good luck and best wishes on your sub!!!

Take it easy,
Jared

Black Bordered, Oldest Edition possible is my preference.
I'm not big on foils, but I really love some of the alternate art on the DCI foils, so I buy them over regular versions.
Occasionally the new art is so much superior to the old art that i'll take a newer edition over an old one.

Only exception is for asian language, I don't like korean letter so I just look for japanese.

- merchant scroll homelands signed > foil japanese merchant scroll

True thing.

For me, I like my basics to be all the same. And if I have to play 2 or more colours, I play lands from the same expansion. In my old Solitaire list I ran 7th edition foil forests and plains and my Angel Stompy ran 1996 Arena plains. Nowadays I play all my decks with Unglued lands, except for my Survival Elves list, where I use P3K lands.

Comeback is about right on the price. FoWs are not only widely available (with some still sealed) but never had some of the printing errors that older editions had. The alpha BoP is a good example of this. With that said, a gem mint FoW doesn't really mean much from a collecting point of view. A gem mint summer rare or bb mox/lotus, now that's a different story altogether.

Hey guys,

I'm new to the forums (been iraq for awhile now and haven't been able to look at the game much) but here is my merfolk deck. Not really pimp yet since its pretty basic and I'm still trying to find foil standstills. Not sure what to do with the deck but I'm looking at going to GenCon next summer and I'd like to take this with me so I'll take any advice on it. Oh and disregard the Doran, my wife got confused and just took a picture of whatever she thought could be in the deck.

like I have a foil russian goblin flectomancer, it looks amazing. if I had to pick an fbb original art serra angel, I'd pick an italian one. cause I can imagine her being some big tittied italian blonde. fbb original art counter spell would have to be in french, cause of their reputation for being stank. original art STP would have to be japanese after the alt art I think yawg did turning the farmer into a samurai. braingeyser looks pretty pimp in german. I dont know if antiquities ornithopter comes in italian, but that would remind me of da vinci. I like german lightning bolts cause germans are insane masters of war.

Yeah, Hong Kong is really a different beast altogether, perhaps because they were under British rule for a hundred years. I'm not sure if it's because of the Mainland's insane nationalism or pure economics (they're aware Chinese cards are worth more), but in the Mainland finding English boosters, let alone anyone to play limited with English, is nearly impossible in my experience. :cry:

Irony: When a newly released version of Survival of the Fittest looks inferior in every way to its predecessor.

Honestly, SotF was a good choice for a judge foil. The art, however, looks like a cross between a PETA poster and a farmsex advert. The original was clean and promptly conveyed the meaning behind the card. Disappointing, as newer art these days has been pretty good for the past few sets.

Not to mention the HUGE DCI in the middle of the card. The art is ok, too cute though.

These foils are the most un pimp crap ever.

Edit: I integrated the links to the images as somehow I couldn't get the images to show in this post. It just didn't show anything but empty space when I put the images themselves in this post. Any advice on how to fix that would be nice.

UMMM this is the Pimp legacy forum not the "I has a crappy type 2 card forum"

now if it was a mint Beta Wrath of god that would be sort of pimp but still I can not think of a deck in Legacy that uses it.

I'm quite blase about the foil asian cards that everyone seems to love when pimping decks. To me obsessed with foil asian = generally a weeaboo. Give me English Black Bordered and that's enough.

I used to think the same way, except english foil, but now I really dig the asian stuff, But non-foil asian, you'd be suprised how hard it is to track down non-foil japanese random commons/uncommons... anyway... to each his/her own... everyone pimps it unique... come original(311)

These were taken with my phone so they aren't the best, and there's a glare and some lighting problems so some of the cards can't be seen very well. One of the Imperious Perfects is Japanese foil (the rest are English foil), the languages of the Fyndhorn Elves are Spanish, German, French, and Portuguese, the Savannahs are German FBB, two of the Bayou are German and one is French, and the Forests are Avon Onslaught Foils, a personal preference although I can easily do better.
