Re: [Bragging] Pimp Legacy Decks
Don't usually pimp out things, but I'm a dedicated Death & Taxes player and a colleague said I should post some of my foiled-out stuff, so I figured I'd share.
Sorry for the low-fi quality; the only camera I own is on my phone.
First, authentic foil Mother of Runes (none of that FNM business).

Next, Stoneforge Mystics and the swords they're forging.

Went for all-promo equips (I prefer the swag of each) over authentic foils.
Foil Thalias, Flickerwisps, Revokers and Grunts--all very nice, esp. the wisp art. I love the green hues in the clouds being highlighted by the foiling.

The Mangara foil is also spectacular, the lightning bolt in the background practically crackles off the card when you hold it.

Some targets for the playset of enlightened tutors in the SB:

And, finally, possibly the most unique thing you can pimp out in D&T--boxless CHAMPS promo Serra Avengers.

These were the hardest to find by far, and certainly the most expensive of the cards I've purchased for this deck. Nevertheless, worthy every damn cent.
Admittedly I'm far from fully foiling D&T--I still require four Swords to Plowshares, Wasteland, Rishadan Port, Enlightened Tutor and Aether Vial foils, along with 11 foil snow-covered plains. Here's to hoping FTV: Realms has goodies!
Thanks for reading!

Lovely, very nice.
I especially like the commentary that accompanied each picture :)
Re: [Bragging] Pimp Legacy Decks
For once in my life, I want to play D&T... but only YOUR deck. I admire your hardcore dedication to your craft.
Re: [Bragging] Pimp Legacy Decks
Nice D&T deck! Working on one myself, if I ever finish I will post.
Re: [Bragging] Pimp Legacy Decks
Thanks for the positive feedback. I fell in love with D&T almost a year ago and, while I've played other Legacy decks and am in the process of building a few, this will always be my baby. Will post any additional foils I amass soon!
Re: [Bragging] Pimp Legacy Decks
So basically all the pimp I was waiting for came in today in one batch. Of course the mailman bangs down my door like a madman, so I think it's a neighbour with an emergency, so I answer with no jeans. Of course.
I'll put scans up later, but a rough list:
Beta Hypnotic Spectre (switching out my Alpha one for it for the Beta Cube)
Beta Zombie Master (upgrade for my played one)
Beta Ankh of Mishra (switching out my Alpha one for it for the Beta Cube)
2 Legends Sylvan Library (so now I have 4)
and most of the stuff I needed to finish pimping Rock fully into Russian, ex. Surgical Extraction, Zealous Persecution, Fetchlands, Garruk, Tracker, etc.
/so happy :laugh:

Re: [Bragging] Pimp Legacy Decks
Never imagined I'd pay this much for a mox, but I needed a BB Sapphire for my collection. The prices on these things keep going up so I figured I might as well bite the bullet now. I was very close to buying a HP Sapphire at the SCG Kansas City event this weekend. It was in worse condition than this and they wanted more money for it (plus I got some ebay bucks :tongue:). I'm glad I was patient and waited a bit.
A year or so ago I picked up a really quite nice looking HP Beta Emerald for $400 at an SCG event. Those days are gone.
They also had a really beat up Beta Lotus they wanted 2K for. That's about double the price it would have been a year ago. My friend picked up a pretty nice looking HP Unl Lotus for 1K.
Now I just need to get a BB Jet and I'm done with this craziness... (well, I need a BB Time Vault and Time Twister too!:confused:)

Anyone else trying to finish out their BB or Unl Power set?

I love this stuff. Old stuff with multiple signatures and artist doodles don't get enough love on this board.

That seems like a lot of money for that condition. I don't think ebay is the way to go for bb power any more - too many fakes or overpriced.
Re: [Bragging] Pimp Legacy Decks
Where would you go? It's hard to find local individuals willing to sell them off like you could 5 or 6 years ago. I used to get good deals that way by bringing cash to big tourneys and finding someone who wanted to cash out on some power cards. People just don't have the cards anymore. They're all sitting in collections. The big retailers have all jacked their prices up and the BIN's on ebay are usually crazy expensive. Auctions rarely fire. A played crimped one just ended for over 1200. Does the crimp really make it that much more valuable?

Re: [Bragging] Pimp Legacy Decks
Sweet homarids brah. So here at Gencon, the Toad officially gave up on getting foriegn cards up on the site and threw out 3 5,000 count boxes of korean, russian, jap, chinese, german and spanish stuff. All you can eat, .50 each. I got there first. 202.00 later and after cleaning the spooge out of my pants .... highlights include, korean serenities, veteran explorers, land tax, humility, mana severences .... it was a hat and circle orgy.
Re: [Bragging] Pimp Legacy Decks
So jealous right now. I will literally kill for a Korean Veteran Explorer at this point, if you have extras. Dunno how many you got. What sweet stuff was there in the German box?
Also, why wouldn't they have gone through the boxes and pulled out stuff like Land Tax that's actually worth money. 50c foreign commons and uncommons I can see, but I'm really surprised they didn't pull some of that stuff. Here's hoping they bring more unsorted boxes with them to GP Boston...I'd love a crack at that :|

Mad jelly. That's insane value.
