How does one make a super sweet Shop deck? I'm assuming it's not foil, so it has to be either moon language on all possible cards (boringgggg) or fully signed in triplicate by artist/Richard Garfield.Quote:

He crushed me in the final swiss round but I avenged myself in the top 8.

and finally ... ultimate victory ... Bob was a gentleman and kind enough to sign my Bobs. He claims these are the first Russian ones he's signed ... so ... perhaps I'm the only one who has these on Earth.
Nice haul, but especially the last picture. Kudos Sean!Quote:

Meddling Mage was an MVP in vintage all day hopefully Pikula makes it to Eternal Weekend and I can get those inked up. I suppose if Mike Long was ever unbanned I could pull that German Rootwater Thief out of my lap and have him sign it.
Pffffffff you actually went there.Quote:

Thx. I'm really happy with them. Also for those of you wondering / PMing me about dumpster diving at Gencon here is some stuff from the $.50 / 25 for $10 boxes. Not quite the haul from last year but some interesting random ferrin' stuff.Quote:

Dragon Arches, Gush, Cabal Therapy, Stonehewer Giant. Disgustingly awesome finds.
Almost finished foiling my Ravnia Cube. Pictures tonight or tomorrow!
@swoop
You are clearly not aware of what beauty looks like, these bobs are simply amazingly beautiful.
Impressive nedless. Love the swords as well.
Awesome haul! Not gonna lie, my favorite "50 cent" card is the high-five bear.
That's "high-ten" amigo! He's giving you a double high five!Quote:

So, I know that many of you are thrilled to see the Terrageddon deck I piloted to a Top4 finish last week or when, but as there were some troubles with the site's maintenance, I was unable to upload the pictures until now.
Ready? Lo and behold:

There's a story behind each card, nothing special, usualy just some small thing. (E.g. Swords and Geddons I played in NQGw years ago, Heaths are pretty worn, I got them since I returned to game in 2005/6, I used them in Ext and then when I moved to Legacy I played them a lot, I got three Libraries for years and never played them until now, the Angels are from the same Haterator as Heaths and thus look quite the same.)
Oh, and a buddy of mine has a set of jap. Terravores. I need to get in contact with him... :smile:
PS: Yeah, deck sucks by this thread standards, I know it, no need to mention that. It's just a personal thing for me and I was really happy when I played it last week. In fact this is my new take on my old pet deck of past; this is how I would (should?) build my Creaturegeddon when our casual group was active. If I'd return in time back to early 2000's, this is how the deck would look like.
Insane pickups and awesome job Sean.
Occam, you could do better with some sunburst foils and textless karns as well for the shops decks ;)
So, I had the chance to pick up the summer sea that was on the market the past few weeks * would have held it for a buddy* or 2 collections that I could make a nice profit on... Sadly I went with the collections.
Just the thought of being able to say "I've owned a summer sea" is ridiculous. Anyways, I'll post some small goodies I've picked up the past week in a day or so.
EDIT: Who is going to DC?
Not as nice as Nedleed's stuff, just a pic of the cards I went and got signed at GenCon this year:
https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-B...0/DSCN0659.jpg
Sweet stuff, I forgot dude did new Hurkyl. Nevermore guy was always chatting and I never had the heart to interrupt him to sign the one card he did I give a shit about. Oh well.
Anyone going to Illuxcon in Allatoona, Nowhere, Penn?
That's all just digging through the bulk / ferrin' / .50 boxes. It takes some time but I usually devote most of Thursday and the second 1/2 of sunday to dealer room. Honestly compared to what you could pick up I didn't pick up shit. There were $800 beta volcanics, $350 beta non-blue duals ... etc.. Also if you want to get powered up and are OK with unlimited played you can kill it with cash at Gencon.Quote:

Yeah perhaps, but didn't have interest in working with the people selling.Quote:

With a lot of the older artists, you can really tell some of them are bitter about being more popular in our community for their older art, heh.Quote:

I'm really looking forward getting the Lotus Petals back so I can check out those doodles. Just need to move and find an address in Seattle first :rolleyes:
Edit: So that preview window doesn't show actual size. Fixed.
Just FYI for everyone, seems there is some guy Ebaying fake high end foils:

I can't find the thread with all the counterfeit discussion recently, not sure if it's worth bumping.

<insert Bertocheaty joke>
Slowly but surely finding the last few Koreeeeeen pieces for enchantressy type decks. If people would stop bringing deeeeed at my store I'd actually play it.
2 x Exploration
2 x Argothian Enchantress
1 x Energy Field
to go ......... maybe one more Sanctum since now they are insane ....
A friend got these signed at GenCon. As soon as I have them I have Morningtide (my 11th set) completely signed!

Want want to post my tricked out deck, but obviously it will be no good as long as only one exploration knows Taek-won-do.
