Though I am extremely grateful that he did sign them, this wasn't the nicest experience I had with an artist. Getting them back with four different signatures and in a (at least I think so) slightly worse condition doesn't help, too.
But oh well, I got them back, so that counts ;D

Matt, if I make it to Denver I'll bring a deck. Are we using http://oldschool-mtg.blogspot.com/p/banrestriction.html rules? Reprints (except for unlimited) are not allowed.Quote:

If I am at one life, can I use a city of brass, go to zero, then mirror universe for the win?
Of course you can. Also, REB from alpha is unplayable. Interrupts are strictly enforced.Quote:

So I have been testing 93-94 magic on Cockatrice and its a blast. I would probably drop Type1 for it if there was a stronger player base here in the US with tournaments and such, but for now it wont happen.
I have a small pile of stuff for it, but unfortunately all of my duallands are revised as I didn't care to spend the extra amount at the time I was picking them up. But here is some of the other stuff I have..

Why is it that revised is not one of the sets allowed? I mean, it was printed in early 1994 wasn't it?
It was, and it was also printed before Legends and The Dark.Quote:

Ditto! Here in Halifax, there is a group of 10-12 people who have interest, but only have Revised duals. We've added Revised as a whole, just to ease the cost of entry.Quote:

They wanted more of an old-school format and I personaly hate the look of rev-duals but I can definatly understand why people choose to play with them.
Also, here is my decklist from our recent event, I made it to the finals but we didn't have time to play the finals (but it will be at a later event, I'm trying to get people to film it). We were around 25 players or so.
4 Tundra
4 Volcanic Island
2 Underground Sea
4 Mishra's Factory
1 Library of Alexandria
1 Strip Mine
3 City of Brass
1 Maze of Ith
4 Swords to Plowshares
3 Disenchant
1 Divine Offering
4 Mana Drain
4 Counterspell
1 Ancestral Recall
1 Recall
1 Time Walk
1 Braingeyser
1 Mind Twist
1 Demonic Tutor
1 Lightning Bolt
2 Fireball
1 Mox Pearl
1 Mox Sapphire
1 Mox Jet
1 Mox Ruby
1 Mox Emerald
1 Sol Ring
4 Fellwar Stone
2 Disruptive Scepter
3 Jaymaede Tome
SB:
1 Disenchant
1 Divine Offering
2 Greater Realm of Preservation
4 Red Elemental Blast
4 Blue Elemental Blast
1 Control Magic
1 Balance
1 Giant Shark (This is a requirement since I won a signed one in a tournament before, every time you win a signed Shark you have to play it.)
Thanks for the list, I could not find it on http://oldschool-mtg.blogspot.ca/. Why not take a nice picture of the deck too and post it her :P !Quote:

Wow... in all my time here, I think I can say those are the most beautiful decks I have ever seen!!!
Having played back in '93-'94, it is great to see such beautiful "old school" decks - well done :cool: There's just nothing that compairs to original pimp. Thanks for sharing.
Take it easy,
Jared
Wow the 93/94 decks are great and aside from the 10-12 white border cards they really do look stunning.
Cheers and congrats on putting them together.

I miss the times when these cards were good.
It's almost a year since I finished my completely signed Beta set. I continued collecting signed beta cards (naturally) and this is now my current state...Somewhere around 900 signed Beta cards
I present it a bit differently than the previous sets to make it more interesting...Each signed card has it's own space...
I hope you like it (it took quite some time to scan this whole thing and to write this post) :-D

Since this page still only allows no more than 11 pictures (and I don't have the nerves for 10 posts) here is the link to my collection at MTGLibrarities:

Enjoy!
HAHAHA ... I mean a resolved Haunting Echoes is still an epic horse raping; it's just that resolving it is tough in Legacy. Some kind of mono black deck that has made it to mid game against a RUG deck resolving this would be hilarious.Quote:

I don't currently have it put together, but when we play the finals I will make sure we take lots of pictures. Sadly, though, it's a battle of beta vs unlimited and I am on the white borded side :( My opponent has all alpha/beta, but it will be interessting to see who will win :) I could get his decklist if anyone is interested.Quote:

Back story, I had a buddy run into the same guy a few weeks back. Ended up getting a moat, seal, sea and some other stuff from him. Upon further inspection, we found out they were fake, luckily he got all his stuff back * I might have told this story*
The Japanese player bought a collection for a decent chunk of cash * he didn't specify total price* in japan.
So, continuing with the story, we continued talking. I pulled out my beta stuff, and the unlimited/beta power I had with me * the stuff I'm selling for a buddy* and we started comparing. You could easily tell the difference once you see a real card. * I knew right away, they were all dark prints and semi low res stuff* Everything * 30+ beta duals, power, moats, seals, etc* ended up being fake.
Funny thing was I compared my beta scrubland to his, he held both in hand and said he could tell the difference, then places both down on the table, the fake more towards me implying that's my scrubland, and the other towards him. I obviously noticed and switched them around. I imagine on accident, but still sketchy.
On a serious note, I might be picking up a beta ex volcanic island soon. :)
Picked up a playset of russian Ponders, a russian Angel of Despair, and a russian Seachrome Coast from a guy that wanted some of my commanders arsenal. Now to find a home for all of the cards :/ Thought about picking up a german foil Seismic assault but didnt want it at the time... now I want it!
So, are we allowing revised/foreign for 93/94 in Denver? If so, my deck will be much better, lol.
Please please elof: TAKE PLENTY OF PICTURES !!!!! Wait, even better why not video tape the final and post it on youtube ? In the name of the 93/94 format: This is the Right Thing to Do !!Quote:

I work for an online retailer and I'm afraid I can't provide a link since we have stopped selling them and I couldn't find them elsewhere online after a half-assed search.

They're a good size and heavy. Nice box too.

Sorry to intrude, but if you have the card in a more recent edition I would suggest to use a high quality proxy done with a color printer in order to not ruin the "nostalgia" factor. This is the direction we are heading to in Toronto.Quote:

We are researching the possibilitys for tapeing it and post it on youtube/the blog. I will update as soon as I know more, right now we are looking at playing around christmas.Quote:
