You are 100% right, I was just saying if the thread is only for the most expensive version of a given card derived via eBay value the thread gets pretty lame pretty quick.Quote:

I pack them in my board more for their Germanness than their utility over Spell pierce.
Surely you don't believe that Flusterstorm has more German-ness than Spell Pierce...Quote:

The best thing about German Spell Pierces is the flavour text. It's really just a direct translation from the English one and Loch is such an ugly word.
I have to say this before we get a mod warning for off topic, but leasing is fine so long as you can write off the payments. If not, it's not a bad way of "owning" a car, but it does leave you with nothing in 2-3 years, since the buyouts are insane.
Back to the pimp thread...
Nice German stuffs! :)

You win. Must hunt down GE Pierces now.Quote:

The duals obviously aren't impressive, but at least they're in nice condition. I also dislike the English Dryad Arbor and I'm looking to get some German Forces.
Still no love for foils.
Those natty-o's are hot dude. I've read that M12 is going to have traditional and pimplified printings. Are you going to go back to traditional?Quote:

Not to derail, but...why?Quote:

I play Top in EVERY Edh deck I play with. It adds way too much consistency to ignore. Only n00bs take forever to top and/or use Top incorrectly
Picked up a Beta Royal Assassin from StarCity at the Seattle Open. Only 13 more cards to go for my set! :)

..at least the car was properly foiled..
See, I used to really like Chinese. Now it's just fugly.Quote:

They were visually different, and I really liked the bold, cursive S-Chinese. Now, it looks fugly.
Agreed, Mr. C.
I liked the old T-Chi, actually. The bold squares were cool.
Now the chinese cards look terrible, I dunno, I just really dislike it.

Nearly 100% Jap foil reanimator :D (All cards are foil, my scan doesn't get it) I hope you like those flusterstorm, they have been hard to get...
Do the Commander cards only come in nonfoil?
-Matt
Yes, unfortunately. Well, except for the oversized legendary dudes.Quote:

I also prefer non-foreign foils, but my favorite foreign language on a Magic card is German :)
here it is:

the duals are not pimp, but they are super clean and minty

edit: I forgot my Brainstorms in the picture too, but they are not pimp, so it really doesnt matter :P, and I redid the photos (Thanks paulmaster!).
Here is the photo I posted yesterday.

Don't link to attached files in your mail cause we can't see them.
Thanks, I had no idea!Quote:

Otherwise, it's a beautiful deck and the new Confidant is fantastic! Nice job! :)
-Matt
Thanks dude, I appreciate it! :)
By "casual", I just mean that I wont be playing it in anything more than a win a box level tournament. I am going to the SCG Houston Open in October, and will probably play something like BUG Landstill there, but after that, I will most likely play this for a while.
I´d like to post my version of the greatest and best deck in the world, but before I can do so I need your help:
I´m looking for a japanese, non-foil Odious Trow. Yeah, really... he is THAT bad... but I need him... if you have one, could get one or know somebody who can get it, you´ll be my friend. Oh, and I´m going to pay for it, obviously... just send me a message, please. Thank you!
Nice deck ElvishPiper.Quote:

but the last time i only commented without pix, so here a pic that the thread will live again :0)
enjoy!
http://www.fotos-hochladen.net/uploa...8kh9oyetp3.jpg
btw i am looking for a playset of summer dark rituals for my TES deck. anybody who can help me will be rewarded!
also looking for 4 really mint unlimited seas to replace my betas and for a summer volcanic or a miscut one, and i really mean mint, not nm or anything like that..., the betas became boring over all those years. they will be kept in the binders forever.
cheers
Those Alphas are hot, but please tell me you're not piloting that miserable pile of garbage.
-Matt
Picked up a collection earlier today.

You're a sicko. I'm envisioning you going to a garage sale and finding those in a shoebox.Quote:

That's freaking amazing. Throw it in the garbage, all those Alphas are terrible.
No seriously, I want those duals.
-Matt
There is one word that I can think of to describe that collection...savage! That is all.
Damn!!! those look hella clean. Story time!
EDIT: Thought I'd throw some goodies into the mix...
http://images.community.wizards.com/...e52911b77b.jpg
Story has it, that this was Douglas Schuler's copy; and because of good care, is actually flawless and has never seen play. Yum yum!
I thought I picked up some killer garage/craigslist sales....Quote:

How do you know that was Shuler's Copy?

I pilot everything. I didn't have Nether Shadows and I needed them to still be able to play every single deck in Legacy.Quote:

As Alpha tends to grade lower than Beta in generally and the fact that those cards were unsleeved while taking the photo I would highly doubt than all cards would get anything above 8.5.Quote:
