Fantastic, and it looks like a really pretty Moat underneath the QFT:able message, no? :)
It's NM/NM- :smile:
-Matt
I approve of your approval, Moat is awesomely evil to play against unwitting opponents. ^_^Quote:

You have to remember gents, it's 2012. Give the females in your lives some agency but making them pay for their own stuff once in a while. Feminism finally working in my favour. Also, if they overhear what you're spending on cards, just remind them you meant "$10.50" and not "something absurd...." for a Beta Sea :P
Edit:
Also, I got some random crap in the mail today, but nothing super pimp. Part of the incoming 150 Beta Basic lands came in today, but it was just Forests :(

I find joy in going: Ancient Tomb. Chrome Mox ... Imprinting Moat. Trinisphere.Quote:

Just read about you getting these for the Cube. A shame; if I'd known earlier, I could have shipped you a bunch, as I got about 4-500 a few months back in a "trade" with the local store, as I sorted a bunch of 4-5 row boxes of theirs. I bet yours are in better condition, though. Heh.Quote:

But, epic plays in regular cube today:
Game 1:
Turn 1: Plains, Black Lotus, Elspeth, token, pass. I won this.
Game 2:
Turn 1: Mana Vault off a plains, tap for Morph Exalted Angel.
Turn 2: Plains, Lotus, crack for Blue, flip my Morph, with the last blue Floating, Ancestral Recall.
Turn 3: Swamp, Contract from Below.
I won this one as well :p
-Matt
Wait, how could you possibly win those games? Contract in a cube makes me smile however... My absolute favorite card ever. Still attempting to get an alpha playset (for 5color), but they have been hard to find.
Also, after some extremely irritating mail issues in germany, Blizzard96 has shown that he is quite the stand up individual, and is sending me another shipment of #jpfoils (if you are on twitter, use this tag!) that I needed for Zur, along with some extras at a discount! Thanks man! For everyone else, Zur is roughly 6(?) cards away from complete pimpness, and I will be rescanning once it has been completed. After that has happened I need to convince someone with a mint A/B twister to swap for my mint ( signed :/ ) one. Oh, and that summer upgrade...
I already unloaded the extras. :/Quote:

True, but that's not how I roll. I'd prefer a straight up beat to Hell Beta copy to even the greatest altered UL copy.
I would be interested in those Beta lands, Aardvark.

Finally got around to putting my Nic Fit (Rector build) up. It's still a work in progress, but it's getting there. It's almost entirely foiled except for new additions (the Mindcensors). Old stuff that can't be foiled is going to be Korean, new stuff that can be foil is going to be Jap Foil (not doing Korean foil....don't like the new Korean stuff). Duals are going to be German fbb (2 Bayous and a Savannah done so far). I'm not sure how the pictures turned out -- if there's questions about what's what, let me know. Note that only 3 of my Explorers are Korean right now ... if anyone has any beads on a 4th, I'd greatly appreciate it.

In other news, Russian Tarmogoyf deals are sealed. It's Tapmoron time, children.

Spike, who did the Hymn alters? They look awesome. (Wonderful deck, btw.)
Stuff I got in Ghent.
I have no idea why all the pics are rotated like this >.<
It seems that either these get traded a lot or Christopher Moeller has a stamp.
http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y29...120726_012.jpg
Some OK Karl Kopinski alters.
http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y29...120724_008.jpg http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y29...120724_007.jpg
Some much more detailed Svetlin Velinov alters.

The deck I took with me to Ghent:
http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d1...G/IMG_1129.jpg
And some cards I bought during GP Ghent. The Islands and Plains ended up in the deck before the first round started :)
http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d1...G/IMG_1170.jpg
@Spike: neat looking deck ! I really like it :)
I will try to post my deck soon aswell.
Chimaera,
how did you do with your list?
-Matt
@ Matt: He unfortunately went 1-2-3 drop, due to 0 blindflips countering stuff and losing to burn twice :(
1-2-3?? This is why friends shouldn't let friends play Countertop.
Hehe, he really loves the deck tho ;) I would post my Nic-Fit but i'm still lacking a lot for it to be really pimped out, and posting BUG again would be useless :P
Deck looks awesome thoughQuote:

Well, this thing called variance is not really something I can control. I won almost all my game 1's, but then lost the second due to variance. Imagine not drawing a single answer/threat after 5 fetches + Top in Play and brainstorms. That's just unlucky.Quote:

Got some compliments on how the deck looked though :)

A good week...
Here some examples from Ghent. Thanks a lot to the people who helped me out here:
http://i1178.photobucket.com/albums/...ki_velinov.jpg
and this week's artist alters...Finally got the signed Top playset and the signed/altered Ancient Tomb

Deck is indeed awesome, mad props on pimp stuff.Quote:

I wouldn't call 3 draws and 2 losses 'unlucky' or 'variance'. Seems your deck just isn't fast enough and/or your sideboard(ing) is bad if you lose all game 2's.Quote:

Kind of a shitty scan, but this one's foil. I have trouble resisting German foil, and for once my wallet agreed.
http://i1233.photobucket.com/albums/...6/scan0004.jpg
Not Legacy, just hilarious. (It's not miscut, apparently my scanner is just disagreeable these days.)
Oh, and I got one of the uber-sexy playmats (via a deal with Fry).
5 Euro each for both Velinov or Kopinski. If I knew how cool they'd turn out I'd get a lot more :)Quote:
