The trick is to use white sleeves. If you do a lot of the wear on the sides of the duals won't show and even a beat beta dual will look like its at least in Ex condition. I really should try and post some pics if i can get my scanner working.Quote:

Ooh, Alpha Tropicals. Pretty snazzy.
So, no one has foil Survivals? How about City of Traitors? Pygmy Hippo? Or any of the other terrible cards they used for test prints?
It's not much, but in magic there are also basic lands....
These are from my deck.

I need an island GURU! Arena 2003 island is horrible.
GURU Lands and Arena Island 1999 > all
I don't really worry about basic land.... I've got 20 of each basic land from Japanese "Beta"... which is what, basically FBB 4th Edition to us?
Doesn't matter. Old School borders, rules text, etc. all in japanese with the old ABU artwork. Gets the job done.
I just roll with beta basics in all my decks. I fucking love how rich the colors are.
Unglued lands ftw. Guru is the only thing better imo, but I can't justify dropping that much money on basics.
I'm not a fan of un-lands. I just hate that they don't flow with the text box-art size theme of the rest of the deck.
If I could get all my cards to be full art, then we'd talk :D
Well since this is legacy and I usually only play TES or thresh all I really need is a single island. It's the same island I use for type 1. I have normal guru lands I use for extended, but they don't even compare to this beauty. Anyway, the scan didn't turn out great, but you can still appreciate the card.

Misprint? why is the icon all the way on the right in the art?
Yup. Very nice indeed. I had 2 Guru Islands once. Then eBay ate them.Quote:

OMG! I want it!
great basic andrew77!
I dunno if these are brand new or what, but I've never seen them before. Got one at the T2 City Champs event today. No one else liked the art so I traded to get a play set for my wife's Gobo deck.
I like em. Moby Dick quotes FTW.

Ugliest art ever.
I'm a big fan of these. What'd you trade for them at? I almost went to City Champs :( If I had known these guys were prize, I would have been there!Quote:

I was pretty surprised myself these were handed out. I've only been doing Magic at FNM's the past few months and long gone are the days of Duress and Engineered Plague. All I have to show for my efforts are Cabal Coffers, Wing Shards, and Roar of the Wurm. This was a nice surprise.
So these were given out at other events then? I thought maybe they were a brand new release.
The Fanatics are DCI Tournament Kit foils. Any store with a Wizards sales account can order them. Stores can give them out for any tournament they like. Mind Stone is the other foil in the current kit (and Llanowar Elves in the "Intro" kit).
The Fanatic art is so bad that it's awesome.
