hi dahcmai...i'd be interested in some betas/alpha basics as well. Signed or not, but only in nm condition.Quote:

They can be depending on how you have your deck sleeved, but generally speaking as long as you are using opaque sleeves I've never had a problem running my alpha basics over beta ones.Quote:

NM A/B anything is always a nice find.

Only stuff I had was some random junk signed by him. Guess that is one hard sig to get. I did have one card signed by Myfors that wasn't that little M looking thing though and was a full signature. Too bad it's an Artist Proof.
Was that the guy who took the money up front instead of the royalties? I remember something about that from ages ago.
Alpha lands are hard to come by because we destroyed so many of them making Christmas wreaths, Paper airplanes, making lunches to losers and the like out of them. They were some of the most hated cards of all time back then. Open a pack, WTF another Land? The idea was to have packs give you the land you needed, but it got annoying real quick after you got a decent set going. Starters of Beta and Alpha were especially bad at giving you way too much land. Never open one of those if you can help it. It's worth way more sealed unless you luck out, which is pretty hard to do. I used to hate Beta Island more than just about any card due to the fact it would replace your rare a lot. You can find joke pictures still running around of how people destroyed Alpha lands making stupid junk.
Meh, I've seen infinite Alpha lands for sale. I've sold through hundreds. There are probably at least 50-100k out there, which is a fair amount.
This is the deck i'm playing at the moment (nassif gp09). I just want to point out that i do own jace 2.0 etc. but this build is more fun.
I just put the deck together a few days ago, so
-1 Ponder (player reward), couldn't find my lorwyn ones
-1 STP (IA), couldn't find my 4th asian
-1 Brainstorm (eng), Use my 4th jap. in my vintage deck
-4th CB, don't own that one!

I'll try and post German Legacy White Stax tonight. Stax is just one of those decks that feels like it's got a German personality, almost. Japanese would also work too, but I hate Asian language cards, and the deck can't be done entirely in Russian, so German was the next best.
I'll post the 2 versions hopefully, Armageddon and Dutch. It's not completely done, some are still in the mail, so cut some slack.

nice decks btw ...
Not! Korean 4th are way better even with the misprint. (Which is quite numerous)Quote:

@Hook
I suggest finding someone on MOTL from Germany, or in Europe in general, to get cards for you, and you just pay them and have them sent. Or, I can probably hook you up, Hook (no pun intended). They'll be a bit more expensive than English counterparts, but I'm sure I can get it for you, as I have a few sources inside Europe :wink:
@Oren
Don't you wish you could run those as Forests and Plains, and still counting as Basics? Seems to me like they're going in your Dutch Stax build :D
10 Savannahs seem good :D
@Catitas
Not your run-of-the-mill Zoo build, but looks super sexy! Nice job :P
-Matt
Not double posting to be a douche, just to keep the responses separate from the photos, and so it isn't cluttered. I'll put the two together if need be.
Jacestill
My UBGR Landstill deck. My idea of pimp is the nicest art I can find in the language I prefer, and this usually ends up being blackborder English copy with the nicest art. Duals are Revised since I don't play with my Beta/Alpha duals, so don't rag on me about them. Highlights include 10 duals, Decree, Jaces, massive gravehate for Vengevine :cool:, Mirage basics (I like these a ton), and running Firespout in the main. Deck's fun to play, and decent to look at.

Weiss Stax
Mono White Stax done mostly in German, not totally done. Since my photography skills are terrible, I'll provide a list of translations of the English titles into what they say on the cards. Mind you, German City of Traitors and Mox Diamond are a real bitch to come by, as I've seen more Korean ones for sale than German. Haven't done the Ancient Tombs or Trinispheres yet, and I hate the look of German Wastelands.
Highlights include Tabernacle, Alpha Savannah (not shown), German stuffs.
Armageddon = Götterdämmerung
Smokestack = Schornstein
Magus of the Taber = Magus des Tabernakels
Suppression Field = Feld der Unterdrückung
Trinisphere = Trinisphäre
Karmic Justice = Gerechtigkeit des Schicksals
Crucible of Worlds = Schmelztiegel der Welten
Crystal Ball = Kristallkugel
Chalice = Kelch der Leere
Horizon Canopy = Blätterdach-Horizont
Baneslayer Angel = Bannender Engel
Ghostly Prison = Gespenstisches Gefängnis
Mox Diamond = Diamontmox
Flagstones of Trokair = Steinplatten von Trokair
Leyline of Sanctity = Ley-Linie der Heiligkeit
Ghost Quarter = Geisterviertel
And you can just barely see my Tim Hortons coffee cup... :laugh:
Edit: I'll go look for the other stuff, then retake the photos and repost.
@SDEMATT: jaw.dropped.on.the.floor...
i would love playing that white stax and announcing each card name being played! AWESOME!
