I'm fairly certain that Poole was originally commissioned to do the art for Tropical Island but the painting that he did for it was instead used for Birds of Paradise. I'll see if I can find a source on that, but I know I've heard that from multiple sources. So in short Alpha would be the misprint.
Yeah I found an article from MTG.com that references it.
Took me a few months to assemble this awesomeness. Everything that can be foil is foil (except for my FBB Demonic Tutor).
Just got my general altered last week and am about finished. The last things I might do are alter a few more cards, OD foil Coffers, TO foil Chainer's Edict, and possibly add in a Grim Tutor. Hope you guys like it XD

The last image is kinda blurry. The cards are (from top left to bottom right): Phyrexian Reclamation, Haunted Crossroads, Corpse Dance, Grim Discovery, Petrified Field, Urborg, Reliquary Tower, Volrath's Stronghold, Vesuva, Strip Mine (FTVE), Thawing Glaciers, and Boseiju. Then Coffers and 30x foil Snow-Covereds :D
Veeeeeeeeeeeeeeery pimptastic. I love the idea of the only altered card being the general, though, because the uniqueness of the look corresponds wonderfully to the unique role a general plays in EDH.Quote:

That's a pretty cool looking EDH deck. I definitely agree about going with real foils over fnm ones. FNM hurts my eyes. I would go for korean yawg will, volraths stronghold, nevs disk and strip mine. I think I'd also go for a planar chaos foil damnation as well. Either way, very nice deck. I love seeing pimp EDH and highlander decks.
Thanks for the kind words everyone XDQuote:

I do have an FBB German Strip that I was thinking of using instead (the FTVE foils are terribad), but that's still far off. Planar Chaos Damnation is a very good call - that and the TO Chainers/ OD Coffers will have to be my next targets.
EDIT: and Prophecy Plague Wind.

Not much happening in here lately. Anyway I keep saying I'm going to post my highlander deck so I have decided I will just post the parts of it that are fully pimped. It would look silly if I posted the whole thing as only 60 or 70 cards are finished, another 20 or so are chi foil or what not and there's still 15 cards that are just plain old english foil or even nonfoil and are complete eyesores.

A lot of the missing cards are in the mail, but I do still need the following... Japanese foil coalition relic, sharuum, sphinx of the steel wind, baneslayer angel, crumbling sanctuary, compulsive research, ajani vengeant, garruk, obelisk of alara, chrome mox, tezzeret and signets. Also missing a moat since I sold my beat up one and want a nm one, some alpha duals (tundra, savannah, taiga), alpha twister and korean exploration.
the miscut Bazaar is sex! i so looove the way it shares border with that red card. I'm saving a photo of a very similar card, did you happen to just recently acquire it off the market?
andrew you are a pimp's pimp.
So you were the one who outbid me on the Bazaar, actually, I think a bunch of people did, I went up to about $350, but figured I wouldn't win. Amazing deck and the bazaar is the best part IMO.
great deck ... the general style is really nice ... many korean, alpha and foiled japanese beauties!
i love the upside down guru island but i dislike the mox diamond because of being signed.
anyway i think the bazaar is too outstanding for being played ...
i badly want to join you andrew :)Quote:

I think that card actually costs more now since Bazaars are selling for ~50 more. I would rather stare at it all day long rather than a PSA 10 Black Lotus, unless that lotus is miscut the same way LOL.Quote:

Now that i actually uploaded the picture i noticed those cards are missing on the photo:
6 tundra (rev)
4 bayou (rev)
3 badlands (rev)
3 Underground sea (UNL)
Are you by any chance selling any of those?Quote:

My preference is for the older picture (aka not 9th ed Foil or FTV).
So it's a tossup between the Arabian Nights version or FNM Foil.
A large portion of my Zoo deck is already foil, so I'm leaning toward the FNM version, but i'm not a fan of the FNM text on the card. What are other peoples opinion?
It's got to be Arabian Nights. They go well with Chain Lightning (which hasn't a foil variant) and an Arabian Nights Mountain. :smile:Quote:

As far as old picture, it has to be just Arabian Nights. Otherwise foil Russian is definitely the way to go (isn't it always?).
