Of course fish Ponders are the best and only ones. Only the first released foils are the real PIMP in my category. :smile:

My buddy is into signed cards and needs Chris Rush Alpha Forests, so I was thinking of getting him one or two for Christmas. However, I have no idea how much they’re worth or if the ones on eBay are real signatures.
There's a few FB groups where you can post a pic and you'll get confirmation from some very reliable people. I'd suggest Givememana. The increase in price varies per artist. Since Rush is dead you add about $15-$30 depending on the card.Quote:

Cheers Scott! Unfortunately I’m not on FB (which has made all my high end shopping pretty annoying) but I’ll see if I can find a way to make that happen.Quote:

Nah. Superior card frame, card stock, colour scheme, history and lacks childish 'oOoo shiny' gimmick.Quote:

I used to really like foil cards, all my decks were full foil... until I saw the real beauty in 93/94 cards. Those are the real magic cards. Foil cards are for people who want to brag for wanting to spend money in 'make up'. Real cards don't need make up. Foil is for pussies.Quote:

So 93/94 is real pimp, as is fish Ponder.
Speaking of 93/94, almost done with my casual pile, 3 cards short of Swedish legal!https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...f57d506fcd.jpg

I love old black cards... nothing comes close to the hate and pain that killing with Mishra's Factories while your opp is locked under a Nether Void and Chains.
I played this pile at the weekend

Side note: brand new double sleeves under florescent lights with a crappy photographer leads to that sort of photo.
For foil Japanese basic lands, what is the pimpest choice? I usually play Urza's Saga basics but I don't think they did those arena promos in japanese.
This thread needs more love :smile:
.. and cool Pauper decks :tongue: :cool: "Eye Candy" (btw, that's a real deck name)

Whichever one you like best. I like Odyssey / Invasion basics for regular art and Battle for Zendikar for full art.Quote:

Once upon a time, I was trying to make a full 4x set of Arabian Nights (in the days when prices weren't crazy). That idea got scrapped for a variety of reasons, but I had picked these up before then, the last of which I had traded a foil Deathrite Shaman for.Quote:

I actually think now I am misremembering, I don't even know what I traded away for the last Drop, but pretty sure it was about 40 dollars in essentially junk (that was the going price, this was probably about 2013 or so).Quote:

I figure this will be my final update as the deck is done for all intents and purposes. I still have a few pieces I need done, but it won't be worth another thread. Anyways, this is my elves deck. It's by far my favorite deck to play and I put my heart and soul into finishing it. I started playing Legacy over a decade ago and from the start, I knew I wanted to play Elves. I was a high school student with little to no income when I first started working on this deck. It was no where near tier 1 back then; it was an all-in combo deck with Summoner's Pact, Emrakul, and Grapeshot as the finishers.
Over the years, I've slowly upgraded my deck. I took a break for a few years during college. When I came back, Elves became a whole new deck. With the new legend rule change which made Gaea's Cradle insane and the printing of Craterhoof Behemoth, Elves was finally good. I have a little more income now since graduating college so I slowly upgraded from English nonfoil to English foil to Chinese foil to now altered. All of the alters were done by u/ScourgeEffect.
So, here's the deck:

When this deck is completely 100% Chinese foil and altered, I will probably work on finishing S-Chinese foiling a modern and vintage deck. I'm a sucker for tribal decks so my I want to play Merfolk in Modern and either Goblins or Humans in Vintage.
BONUS: Modern deck progress: https://imgur.com/a/KnR7I (Most of it is S-Chinese foiled, except for random cards I can't find anywhere. This deck isn't a priority though, just a side project)
The Cavern of Souls is my favorite alter. :tongue:
Seriously beautiful deck though!
Kylo Ren is 1BAMF.
I really like the Totoro Pendelhaven:smile:
Recent pick ups. #janklyf

Question for the pimps: Do you request your opponents shuffle your deck carefully if they decide to do so and does this upset them? Every time I mention this my opponent seems somewhat defensive. Also, I double sleeve with perfect hard making my deck like edh and lot of mtg players are not so careful and are used to a smaller feel. (Innuendo intended :cool:)
When I had a semi-pimp Imperial Painter, i didn't give a damn. Then again, prices then were much more reasonable.Quote:
