No, Chinese foil Mercadian Masques and Chinese foil Urza's Legacy and Destiny do not exist.Quote:

Firestorming for like ... 4 while chucking basics ... that feed your Grunt ... is pretty fun

I don't remember 5CW, but I do remember 5CU however. BoP, Quirion Ranger, Disrupt, Stp, etc. Janky ass deck that plays like Gro without the Growth. Nice deck however! Those Land Tax need to be in Korean for full respek. :P
Yeah, I need some better Paths as well. Maybe next time Dern throws a playset on eBay in the russians I'll grab them. I currently have 3 x crispy english legends and 1 Japanese 4th. At this point I just want to flip the Jap one for a fourth english legends. Now is not the time to be buying Korean Land Taxes. At the GP one vendor had them for $90, GamingETC has one for $60 and it sat there the whole event.
Edit: It's also fun to watch RU(g) delver players pack their shit to Priest / Worship.
I know the real Ritual is Whitebordered, I was just commenting that they're highly desirable.

So, as I promised, the Beta Cube is now complete.
I've arranged all the deals for all the Beta Basic lands (god, they're expensive when you're buying 200 of them). When they all show up in the mail, I'll take some good pictures of the Cube in its entirety. :)

Pimp question from an aspiring pimp for all you expert pimps - which is more pimp? Foil fetches or DCI Judge foil fetches?
I wasn't sure which way to go on this one since the judge foils don't have any alternate art on them. Are judge foils in general less desirable than the original foil editions?
Obviously less desired.Quote:

Thanks!
You realize that you get to decide what you think is the most pimp, right?Quote:

If you like FNM foils and you can get most of your deck in new frames, I see no reason not to go for judge foils over set foils. If you just like spending money then drugs and prostitutes are probably more fun.
Yes and no. Prostitutes can leave nasty things that keep on giving, and only last for the evening. Once you buy cards, they're non-consumable. You get to keep them until you sell them! My entire basis of spending money on cards is that if this went towards coke or booze or broads, I'd have nothing to show for it once I wake up out of my stupor. Plus, it appreciates in value. It's not like the booze I bought and turned into urine is now suddenly worth more money three months after I bought that drink.

Your posts are always great and seem to cheer me up. Infact i believe that you are one of the reasons i even come to this board!Quote:

I would love to see some old border on new cards to be honest. Why o why did they change the borders to this crap.
Totally agree on this too, my love for new bordered cards only stretch to FNM and Judge foils, everything else seems more awesome in the old borders :D. The Swords of Light/Shadow and Fire/Ice were simply amazing as old bordered foils :DQuote:

This is my EDH deck I have been working on. I am sure it's not the most optimal decklist, but I used foils I could get my hands on.
Soon I will have pictures of my foil fetch land set and some oldies and goodies.

Mine just arrived today. :) Super happy I got to swipe this from SCG for 32 USD during the sale. Dirt cheap.

Also this is something I've been wanting for a while and finally coughed up the cash for:

I am not a big fan of promotional cards. I should add a DCI Vampiric Tutor and Enlighened Tutor. However, I doubt I will ever change the Beta cards. I really like the look of Beta cards alongside the foils.Quote:

Apparently a kid opened it in a precon, I was just curious (since I'd never seen one) as to what it might be.
Nice deck, your mainboard is actually nearly identical to mine, aside from the lands (both in decklist as in choice of foils etc :P)Quote:
