this is a really interesting take on pimping this deck, i've partially pimped dredge (my version is way hotter than yours btw :p) and i think that along with enchantress, this build is the prettiest in legacy

mad probs Fern :)
I was quite desperate to see it done actually! But as cyberjar said already, please please change the sleeves. Either to WB sleeves as i used but i think black sleeves are even better as the contrast makes it look even better.
Another topic: anybody knows if these artist will be at any PT or GP any soon?
Greg Staples
Kaja Foglio
L.A. Williams
Donato Giancola
I would like them to sign and hopefully alter a few cards to finish my TES deck...
ohh and @ jamesh: pictures of your dredge deck pls ;)
I dint talk about the colored sleeves, i meant the double sleeves with this silver ornament
hey nice wb deck
so whats the best way
to go about wbing a deck?
any tips?:smile:
Tape the parts you dont want to erase, then go over it with Acetone. Easy but takes some time. Dont scrub hard, be gentle ;)
@Fern: Nice that you've finished it, I am almost done with it as well, good job!
Towards WB-ing cards: It is just way more easy and safe to tape the parts of the cards you dont want to erase and then gently get rid of those blackborders with a rubber/eraser. I used one from "Pelikan" which has a blue (more rough) and a red (soft) side. Just use the blue side and make sure that you dont rub too hard and that you taped the card accurate and with very loose tape, otherwise you will end up with tearing apart some thing when you remove the tape... . Happened to me quite a few times at the beginning.
Acetone has some risks and cant ruin the card way more easy than the tech mentioned above and is, AFAIK, cheaper.
Yes, I remember when Giancola was in Lucca, but unfortunately I didn't have Peacekeeper back then.. :frown:
Well, at least I got my Stifles artworked from Orizio.. :tongue:
Anyways, to post a few pics of my decks is it necessary to have a imageshack, photobucket etc account or is there another way?
Thanks!
@ Francesco: thanks a lot for the info! Waiting for further info once its confirmed that he will be there :)
@ pippo84: i use photobucket as it is very easy to handle and the page is quite fast. Try it!
Again some people will hate me for posting this in a "pimp-legacy" thread but heres some stuff i picked for my casual "Golden Highlander", i also think its in the eye of the beholder as its on the card flavour and not on other players opinion whats pimp or not. Also i think as some of those cards are actually hard to find too, some stuff of this collection will be worth some $ at least in 20-30 Years :D
(i didn't post the whole collection as i will remind the "decks" in the title)

its too small i can barely see it.
yeah my browser had trouble to load the pictures up at all so even by clicking them doesn't work?
Heh, gold highlander, novel idea. Nice.
Well i am still waiting for some stuff, but already have the whole list of 1996 - 2002 complete, most of the stuff was hard to find as playsets thought :rolleyes: I am not sure if i will play it as cube or just as a good stuff build since its not for tournaments.
More like a nerd calling a nerd nerd with nerd analogy. What the hell is Game of Thrones? Boardgame?
Anyway, I find the deck pretty cool. The thing about pimping is that it's in the eye of the beholder. I personally think summer cards are ugly as hell, yet many consider them ultimate pimp.

F**KING AMAZING STUFF !! :D
I realy like the altred birds :O WOW!
Those Birds are still my favourites so far, wasn't it FFYouth who did those ones?
Also love all the basic lands, mainly those with full/new art. Nice to see that all those amazing alters found a good home.
Amazing stuff.
Still can't stop looking at those alters. Who did the Qasali Pridemage?
My wallet cowered in fear from that last set of pics. I hope you did a lot of those yourself. Man, that would be expensive. Either way, they are really spectacular though. Thumbs up.
Most. Beautiful. Magic. Cards. I. Have. Ever. Seen.
Especially the lands. The wasteland series. <3 Made my day, thank you sir.
Nevermind, I see who you are now. XD
Squadron Hawk aka. Voltron killed me.
Those Survivals make me sad :(. Very nice cards.
so you're the person that always beats me on buying some of those cards >.> you should probably stop doing that if you know what's good for you ;)
awesome stuff man.
You're right, the birds are from FFYouth. The basic lands are from Marta Molina (http://magicalteraciones.blogspot.com/) and Sandreline (http://sandreline.com/ but you should already know that :p)
French artist Demonium. He's used to doing unique altered cards with vibrant colors. Here is his portfolio : http://m868.photobucket.com/albums/demonium71/?src=www
I could have, remember my Wild Mongrel mock up on Paint, they weren't that far from what you did... :D (no, please don't show them, I was joking! :p)
Garobidou, I dig your collection. That is totally my brand of pimp. Keep up the good work.
So, I managed to pick up some massive loots at the GP, and meet a bunch of fellow pimps. More than a few people recognized me by my binder :)
I picked up a Beta Tropical, Badlands, and Plateau. I'll scan them when I get home :)
I've now completed my beta dual set for my Beta set, I now have one of each. I'll post them all together when I get the chance :)
-Matt
Grats, it's the greatest feeling in the world finally finishing your goal.
I'm still a little upset that I both sold my playset of rev duals before they jumped in price two years ago, while simultaneously passing up on beta duals. Only consolation is that I upgraded to FBB duals right after I sold my rev ones.
Gari has broken the thread, and my heart for having such lovely cards. Every card was amazing, so much credit to all the artists. Much credit.
