One of my next metas is to finish that playset and try to find 2, maybe 3 Tabernacles (to build Stax/ Angel Stompy). :smile:
I deal with speculators daily. Nothing against them. He posted some nice cardboard, Don't get me wrong. I just remember when Marvin post 30+ Lily's and multiple people flamed him.Quote:

Just need some Foil Karakas and you're good to go! Especially because this seems really close to marking cards.
Beautiful deck!
Not super pimp, definitely not legacy, and only a portion of a deck, but I don't care. Just finished this and I'm pretty damn proud:

Awesome man! It's such a good feeling, and playing with the real deal is unbelievably fun.Quote:

Congrats!
Congrats Sam and Mini on joining the power club! I'll see you two at Eternal Weekend (and I'm going to fucking sphere you back to wanting to play standard).
You lucky bastards, grats on your on new, complete set of power. So nice.
I actually really like the choice of OG Karakas.. For me oldest printing > foil for anything pre-Fallen Empires.Quote:

Original > New always, plus the new Karakas art sucks. I do like foils though as you can tell. And the STP is the original art and in foil! Best of both worlds! :cool:
Ah ok, worth asking.Quote:

Agree. Original Karakas > Judge foil Karakas.Quote:

In general, people tend to like the first versions of cards. For foil StP, that means the FNM promos with the original art.Quote:

I am just not sold on the FTV foiling process. I avoid those at all costs.Quote:

So I mix it up by choosing the version that looks best to me.
You are foiling in an effort to pimp. By playing foils it means you don't mind them, or maybe even like them. However you can't afford the good version, but you still want to draw attention to yourself with the shiny shine. It's like spinning rims on a '98 Hyundai. Another favorite is foiled out decks (FNM typically) and revised Bayou.
In other news here's what I won at the Atlanta SCG

and this one ...

I feel the personal preferences, but why the straight out bashing? Just seems like too much haterade to me.
Not exclusive to Magic; this happens with any collectible. Just the nature of the big dick game in general.Quote:

Cataclysm isn't even a staple of the deck. All the staples can be had in foil. The same only goes for a handful of other decks (affinity, goblins, burn) , and all of them can be Modern-bordered even too except for port (That's actually my goal right now, so I'm praying to WotC to make it a judge promo).Quote:

All the smudges are on the sleeves, not the cards.
What's the story on the altered corners of the 4x Karakas? Personal aesthetic preference or hiding damage on the cards?
I'm normally not a fan of owning altered cards, they were not damaged at all, but with the rest of the deck foil (and there for special in some way), I felt like the Karakas needed some loving. The Judge Karakas is down right Fugly to me, and so I figured a fairly basic alter would nice, give them some character without detracting from the card itself. Supreme-10 did the alters for me, he also made me a Cheatyface abacus.
Ah, makes sense. You win style points for not going with the Karakas judge foil. Whole deck looks sweet.
agreed. judge karakas is hideous looking.Quote:

As mentioned by others, it's the FTV foiling process (hideous) and new promo starburst that are a huge turn off for all judge foils and cards w/ the big FNM foil stamp.
So here are some of my latest acquisitions. I took the pictures on my phone, so they aren't the best... I hope you guys enjoy!

I was told this was a waste of perfectly good legacy staples ... but I've almost got it the way I want it (minus beta volcs which I'm not paying for).

I played this at the Atlanta Open and went 3-2 drop. Of course taking the 3rd win and then dropping.
