[DO NOT TRY TO SELL IN HERE] Pimp Legacy Decks

It also depends on the rest of the deck (or collection). If everything is Asian non foil, then I prefer Korean 4th Edition ones. If it's a Modern deck and everything has the new frame, then 8th Edition foil is more coherent. If it's a Legacy deck where you already are running other Alpha cards, like dual lands, then Alpha ones may be the best option. Etc.

Having rules makes decisions easier. And then the deck should look more uniform that way. If you randomly pick whatever you prefer in a vacuum, then the deck may look like a mess.

Also, from a financial point of view, I prefer to just stick with something that already exists. Otherwise, you'd have to keep buying the newest "pimp" version that is released (that probably happened to some people that had original foils but prefer expeditions). Also, if others also stick to a previous pimp version, the price resists better reprints (as they aren't seen as substitute goods). That's a relevant topic, as those with pimp collections have lots of money invested there.

Pimp to me, closest I'll ever get to A/B lands. I got a couple revised forests for later use but I'll stuff these in my tide deck.

I don't think you understand this thread, if you're posting revised basics.

edit: need new pics

Not once is there a guideline. Pimp is pimp.

It's your opinion on what's pimp.
I posted my opinion on pimp, thought it was "nice", " cool".

Maybe there needs to be 'I'm poor but this is cool topic".

Also 4th edition

Everything isn't pimp, just because you want it to be. Just like peanuts isn't tomatoes, just because you claim them to be.

Feel free to make a "I'm cool but I like my wb lands".

4th, revised. Both are not pimp, and don't belong in here.

I love Revised Basics, so easy to fetch and drive people crazy.

In other news, got a new new basic for Lands. Foil Unguled. Fucking gorgeous. Still thinking I will get the Judge Forest later though.

We're talking about shitty basics, ill post mine :rolleyes:

Got those recently

https://i.gyazo.com/13be3ae45b63d03e...5ca093f51e.jpg

Im really happy about them, as you can see they are printed both in italian and in french

https://i.gyazo.com/49623e1f789572cb...e4e31c6dbe.jpg

Factory cut double prints are pretty rare nowdays, id value those avacyn basics pretty high in my scale of pimp for example, im glad to play them in my deck over ABU/Guru and such :laugh:

That's a very practical thing to do. I don't think there are any foil white bordered basics, are there?

Eight Edition, I think?

Hmm, really? I do see they at least used the same art I currently have for my Forests and Swamps... Couldn't care less about my Plains (those are all boring).

This might have potential, turning all my fetch targets sans Dryad Arbor white bordered. It's maybe not as pretty as it is now, but it does save time. And it helps others separating Dryad Arbor from any lands I may have (I tend to lump it in with the creatures anyways, but still).

I know my Eight Edition (german) blood moon is white bordered, as well as the eight edition mana leaks I got somewhere (I was a modern degenerate, trying to ruin people with a mostly wb Blue Moon deck.)

You sir are well en route to make my day!

Nope, foil cards from 8th/9th are black-bordered. There aren`t any white bordered foil cards, barring some weird exception that I`m missing.

I run white-bordered basics for that reason, fetching takes literally three seconds plus shuffling when your fetchable lands are your only WB cards. I love that to the point where I`m actually considering Unlimited duals. But you will not catch me alive trying to pass it off as true pimpness.

And hey, if you really want to drive legacy players up the wall, go with modern frame WB cards, non-foil basics from 8th/9th. My hands down favourite troll basic is this tacky piece of shit right here:http://i.imgur.com/bvlQTVZ.jpg

Too bad.

Be sure to wear a Hawaian shirt when fetching that.

Fat gold watch, khaki shorts and a straw hat with not one, but TWO fucking feathers in it.

I would drop, if someone went all hawaiian against me, with that land. Like, I'm not in the right place anymore, what can I even do?

Speaking of white bordered for ease of fetching:

I'd say not for pimping purposes. It's why my Hydroblasts, Pyroblast, and Brainstorms are proudly white -bordered: Japanese Ice Age doesn't exist, so 5th Edition is the earliest available printing. Pretending it's equivalent to running English 5th is absurd.

Shitty esper deck I played at a GPT. Too lazy to order the Chinese version of the few engrish cards still in the deck.

Yup. Getting back into the game after a few years hiatus. Kinda surprised anyone remembers me. I think I usually posted in Mish-Mash and Zilla's Angel Stompy thread.

As for the matter on basics, I don't run Guru because quite frankly they're 1) ugly and 2) played out and I don't run Japanese (mentioned above but so below) because the only art I would want outside of the 2 I have now are the Torii island and Sunflower plains and they aren't available in Japanese script.

While I can see why to some it looks bad, I honestly prefer the Italian versions. The colors look so much better.

And at the same time getting upset shows that the game is something that matters to them. But yeah, it appears they have issues.

Should send that in to "Near Mint" or whatever the project is.

I guess this is the beginning of a very long journey to foil my Miracles deck....
