That's a good question. I hadn't thought about it. The judge gave me a deck check right before Top 8, and didn't mention anything, but it's quite possible that he didn't notice the Trop.Quote:

Even double-sleeved, I suspect you can probably feel the crimp through the sleeves. I'd avoid using it in sanctioned events if that's the case. Best to talk to the judge first either way.
I had a crimped Beta Mox for a long time and no one ever gave me any problems with it. I always asked about it before any tournaments started and they were always fine w it. It's probably more of a thing about what type of sleeves you use. I use KMC blues and those are pretty thick.
The seems like you should be able to feel it through the sleeve, though I guess it's harder if you're double-sleeving. On the other hand, though, I guess it would seem kind of suspicious to opponents if you're gently stroking the top end of cards in your library while playing.Quote:

Those are some nice duals. Damn.

If you have a crimped beta dual you ALWAYS fetch it first anyway.Quote:

True story: gentlemen give their opponent's Intuition piles the pimpest of three, unless it's a strategic singleton pile.
I really like this one, though flavorwise I would have put Kird Ape on the Taiga, Loam Lion, indeed on the Savannah, Wild Nacatl on the Plateau, and Steppe Lynx on all the fetchlands!Quote:

You have to trust who you're lending stuff like that out to. I've let friends borrow Beta duals. Walking into a large tournament, with the rest of your deck pimped out and revised duals, I couldn't have them bear that kind of embarrassment.

Those basics are awesome. Same with the Wild Growths.
I just finished pimping High Tide, so I'll post the deck once the rest of the stuff arrives.
