i guess tarmogoyf is the creature, that translates equally into most languages of all cards i know (dont know about chinese because i cant read it)
but in russian it´s also tarmogoyf and in japanese tarumogoifu, which pronounces tarmogoyf
and that russian goyf is hyperpimp, by the way!
hmm I don't even really know if this is the right forum for this sort of question... it is pimp related, anyway, here goes
my LGS completely randomly just has x4 boxes of Russian Guildpact... completely random set and language to buy a set as they are mainly a draft / FNM store (read: standard card centric)... anyway I didn't think much of it's the packs are 5.50 and I didn't ask how much a box is but its probably like 120$ or something...
the question... do you think its worth going in on a box or two over the possibility of relevant foils? I mean I'm looking at the Guildpact spoiler now and thinking if I get a foil Electrolyze, Mortify, Shattering Spree, Angel of Despair (that would be nuts), Debtor's Knell, any Shockland, or Niv-Mizzet... It seems really tempting but if I got a bunch of eternal irrelevant junk than it would be pretty close to wasted money, I mean, what does any serious magic player want less than more bulk junk.
I hope it doesn't sound like my minds made up, I really am looking for advice, what would you guys do? They probably won't have them for long if somebody is thinking the same thing I'm thinking. I lurk forums and I knew Russian was a really hot / pimp language right now so that's what made me think about doing it...
The is probably going to be a shock land or 2 in there as well.Quote:

In other news, my Korean Perishes and Russian Marsh Flats came in. Huzzah!

leyline of the void too
Just recently bought 1 Russian guild pact box and 22 loose packs and got 1 steam vent and one stomping ground , made me realize I'm never buying boxes again. I would rather buy singles.
i already had 23 russian booster boxes (2more incoming..lorwyn and time spiral, never had boxes of those), and i have pulled some decent stuff:
foils:
doubling season
trygon predator
knight of the reliquary
progenitus
mutavault
elspeth, knight errant
surgical extraction
mental misstep
nonfoils:
1 dissension filler card
lots of shocklands
2 dark confidants
6 knight of the reliquary
5 noble hierarch
2 sword of feast and famine
4 mutavault
5 vendilion clique
6 progenitus (funny that I pulled a mythic so often, i cant explain it to myself, some other mythics from that set i only pulled 1x)
the worst edition was, as jamied1981 said, guildpact, i only pulled crap out of it and where i had the lowest foil ratio.
once i bought loose time spiral boosters (only 10), and i pulled 5 or 6 foils out of them - now that was quite funny =]
at the moment i cant find them, because i´m making a small re-inventory of my russian stuff
also the differences between displays from the same edition can be tremendous, and i am speaking nonfoil-wise.
i wont make a lot of dollars out of it, but i just love opening sealed product!
basically i´m keeping just some foils lol...
Some new stuff:

Duress is so trashy, it's pimp!
Buying and cracking Russian boxes must get a bit expensive.

You are truly the keeper of progenitus, that's a bizarre ratio of a mythic. So you can swap me 4 of those progo's?Quote:

which of these moxes is not like the other, which of these moxes is not the same?
Scans aren't high def enough for me to say which might be a fake, but your Ruby has a shuffle crease. It's not like the others.

I'm going to say your "Beta" Mox Jet is a rebacked CE one. The borders on the back don't line up with the borders on the front.
