I have to disagree. There are foreign foil versions that are not always available and therefore NOT easy to find. The reason why they can be so damn expensive is because those that have them are only the stores who are willing to let go of them only at a certain price due to scarcity.Quote:

This is completely untrue. The only cards where you can get whatever instantly if you have the money are english foils. If I wanted to waste money I could build any deck in legacy in english foil within a day. Finding japanese foils or korean cards takes a lot more effort and is a lot less dependent on how much money you want to spend, but more on how dedicated you are to tracking down the cards. This is why english foils are not impressive to me.
Here's another example. A lot of people complain about seeing bb duals instead of decks. Well tbh finding a nm alpha underground sea is much harder than building a completely english foil goblin deck. Its not even an issue of price, but of rarity. How often do you see a nm alpha sea on ebay? Not very often. What about fnm foil goblins? Theres tons of those up all the time. Seeing foil edh decks is much more interesting as they don't contain mainstream foils that are extremely easy to find. I personally have a foil binder I use as trade fodder and even though I never tried to build foil goblins or anything like that I can literally pull out over half of the deck in english foil just from that binder and fill in the missing cards with japanese foils and korean cards.
Anyway, how about we try and stay on topic instead of reopening the discussion of what is pimp every few weeks. I'm pretty lazy and don't feel like pulling stuff out of binders to scan them, but I do want us to get back on topic so here are some cards that came in the mail today...

I have to say that I'm really not a fan of pimpness, but I have a couple of beautiful cards in my T.E.S. deck:

Forget that Dual/LED part and check the black cards.
PS: I'm selling the entire deck if someone's interested.
P-M
Nice! That's totally my tendrils! I'm glad you like it man.

Did I hear someone say Gedenkenwirbel?

ignore the now useless Brands, didn't have the effort to cut them out of the picture.
That Lands deck looks awesome. I love German cards.
Also, the Thriller yawgwin is pimp!
I can't decide if that's awesome or terrible. Like, on any other Sol Ring, that would rule. But... Summer...
Ownership of a card confers certain privileges, like being able to decide what to do with it.
That sol ring, however, is ruined in my opinion, sir. One less summer sol ring in my books then.
You can almost hear the price climbing another $1000.Quote:
