I love pimped decks, don't get me wrong. I just dislike pimping as the only focus of the hobby.

firstly, haters to the left
secondly, pimpness is essentially related to value - it might be hard for people to deal with, but the reason people value jap foil is fundamentally not because it looks pretty but because everyone else values it and this pushes up the value, thus making these cards more valuable and therefore more pimp
ditto Korean academy
ditto beta duals
and double ditto summer
it looks ugly - no one gives a fuck - it's rare as hell worth a lot of money and is therefore pimp
welcome to capitalism as brought to you via the lens of american gangsta rap
Nice minty Korean Swords! Very nice :D

I want to see Slinga's crimped Beta Seas/Vaults and miscuts FoWs. He used to have a link somewhere in his sig. I totally gasped at the oddities he posted. Occam (I think his name) also has a bunch of collections that are insane, but Slinga's the one going for the oddball misprints in MTG, which makes it very interesting to watch his decks (post one up slinga!)
I remember the miscut fows they are still my favorite thing ever posted
Counterspell / Brainstorm Mistprint that gunslinga has and will probably always be my favorite I have ever seen.
:eek: Nice decks grandeur! So awesome!
Couldn't be since it had the Mercadian Masques pictures in it and Pyroblast wasn't in that set. I hate the Ice Age pictures, that's the only reason I remember that misprint so well is it was of my favorite pictures of the cards too.
Holy crap at kids in a pimp thread talking shit on Summer Magic. That post is probably worth a NM set of Beta power and 10x as rare.
the miscut i mean was out of ice age. that simply means that he owns both which is not too hard to imagine. ;)
ice age got counterspell as well which made me think you refer to the card i mean.
to keep the thread going ... something neat i received some days ago.
nothing too expansive though but i am pretty sure it is one of a kind - it is signed by bader and maher.

OMG so many random asian cards here and there! xD
But all in all it looks awesome! Props on non-MPR Cryptics and Champs Muta! :D
I'd at least make all the Duress the same pic/frame though, I think.
I'd go 4x 'Saga Foil' for them.
i've got other duresses - 7th foil eng and saga duress - but for me as a collector i always go for variety, it's an issue when i post a 'pimp' deck because it's always random and peps complain :( but i like the variety in my collection and i ain't changing :)
Yet another deck

I don't know what you do for a living, but if it's not being a male hooker, I would like this job that pays well enough to build decks like this. lol Beautiful deck.
