Nice Loam Deck!
Just, PLEASE tell me you are getting a second pack foil pulse and 7th foil assault, then this would be truly a work of art! Still, major props on the duals/fetches/asssorted foils!
Are those bobs foil? cant tell

Just picked up a NM Beta Tundra. Pro tip: counting out $600 in 20's takes a long time, especially in an IHOP where everyone thinks you're dealing drugs :tongue:
-Matt
What can I say Beta duals are your fix you junkie!
I am a junkie, I know it :P
-Matt
You probably are dealing drugs to pay for all these beta duals, I see through your cover Matt :P
If I was dealing I'd be done my set by now. I'm up on the interview thread on MOTL, and thus, I can't lie while on the stand. You can ask me then if you want :tongue:
-Matt
I actually just picked this up today.Quote:

Smallfish, +1 to your username, and 7th ed foil Jap LoA? Those are insanely rare even for regular English foils. Those Mutavualts are pretty dang expensive/rare these days as well.
Great work!
Picked up some new additions to the deck in the past few weeks:

I paid a little over $900 on Sea. Its close to SCG prices relative to the condition. The big thing on purchasing a Sea was I did not want shuffle creases on the card as the prime criteria for condition. The whiting, while noticeable, is not bad by any means. I purchased it from a local tournament organizer over the weekend. I may have overpaid a little... However, unless I could trade into one, I wanted to purchase it locally to support the B&M stores/event organizers if at all possible. After doing extensive research with shops throughout the state, this was one of three that I could locate. Concerning the other two, one owner was not interested in parting with his and the other wanted close to $2,000 for it.
The person who sold me the card is an awesome guy. He was telling stories of Beta drafts at GenCon in the early 2000s. He played without sleeves for the sake of nostalgia since ten years prior, he was drafting Magic at its first release at GenCon. He did tell me that he wasn't playing Blue or Green so he put the Tropical Island he drafted into a hard case for safe keeping. (Which will be my next target after I acquire another Beta Sea).
List of things left:
Japanese Ponder (M10) x2
Japanese Ill-Gotten Gains x1
Japanese Duress (Urza's Saga) x4
Japanese Lotus Petal x4
Guru Island x1
Beta Underground Sea x1
Japanese Rebuild x2
Beta Tropical Island x1
Japanese Xantid Swarm x4
Japanese Krosan Grip x3
I decided to sell my Korean cards (Duress, Lotus Petal, and Ill-Gotten Gains) in order to go all in on Japanese cards. I would rather have everything Japanese as opposed to a mix. I've had a growing feeling over the past several months that continuity of language is more appealing to me than rarity.
I am somewhat torn on cards like Hurkyl's Recall which I can get FBB Japanese or original set. As a general rule, I tend to favor first set printings of a card over latter ones (Ponder is the exception because the Lorwyn artwork is terrible in my opinion). If the earliest set in which a card is available had a Japanese printing, I would prefer the Japanese version to the English one. However, Antiquities never had a Japanese set run, but the appealing factors for the Japanese version is that its black boarder and it has the original artwork... decisions, decisions....
First printing non-Foil English > Japanese Foil.
much love to smallfish. awesome deck
+1 Foil 7th Japanese Lords and full art Mutavaults, hotness.Quote:
