Man, I really like that art. Too bad about the FNM stamp...
I'm going to go ahead and give a thumbs down to the art. If it was a close up version of the same scepter from the original art, maybe, but I think this new scepter looks dumb.
I'm just return from GP Rimini and I bought this cards.
1 x Street Wraith (foil french)
2 x Simian Spirit Guide (foil french)
3 x Ponder (foil french)
2 x Overmaster (foil french)
4 x Elvish Spirit Guide (french)
1 x Echoing Ruin (foil french)
1 x Manamorphose (foil french)
1 x Reverent Silence (foil french)
1 x Echoing Truth (foil french)
3 x Goblin Chalbelcher (foil french)
LED in french $34.00 each and buy theme is very expensive for me!!!
As usual, pics or it didn't happen! And yeah, that scepter is fugly.
I'm sorry, but I'm lazy:

Your focus-skill sucks by the way :tongue:
What did the echoing truth cost you? I saw them at 5 euros each in paris, but i passed thinking it was a bit high. Same on the ponders. I passed on 8 euros each.Quote:

The price of ponder foil (italian language) on Italy is 9/10 euros each.
PS : Frenger you know stores on-line where I can buy french cards??
Only cool french stuff i have is:
4x Revised? BB Kird Apes
4x Revised? BB Llanowar Elves
4x Ice Age Counterspell
1x Mox Diamond
2x Homelands Merchant Scroll
4x Ice Age Dark Ritual
Magiccorporation.com but theyre quite overpriced. Occasionally there are good deals (french foil cabal ritual for 3 euro XD) but generally it's not worth it.Quote:

From the FOIL Powder Keg (previous post, last scan) and further the cards are my "sideboard". Basically the cards that didn't make it into the deck, therefore being my sideboard for the wishes that I play. The amount is not legal, but no one in casual really bothers.

Some duals, I've got all 40 of them, but these I use in my deck except for 1 Underground Sea (only got 1 in the deck atm).

Where's a good place to buy Japanese/Korean cards on the internet besides Ebay (I'm not a patient man...waiting a week just doesn't do if for me, and I swear if I get outbid at the last second one more time because my !@#$%&* internet is slower than the other guy's, I'm going to throw my computer at something...)? I'm looking to non-foil pimp my FT list. Maybe my 4c Landstill list as well, but I need to know:
--Are FBB or Beta duals more "pimp"?
--If FBB, which languages were they printed in and which one is most sought after?
--Is Japanese still the most expensive language? I find it to be a LOT prettier than French. Chinese I'm not fond of, but I LOVE Korean. I may do it in Korean, but I need to know what sets were/are printed in Korean. Any opinions?
I'm not doing foil because a.) the cards seem to bend due to what, temperature fluctuation? I can't deal with that, and b.) Not all the cards I want are foil, and I'm a freak that way. All or None.
All foil + duals = not possible. Therefore no foil...
Thx for your help, and sorry if this is the wrong place to ask this, but I gave it my best shot.
Pce,

For Korean cards, Ebay and Flea Markets are your only hope. I love how the language looks, but it's hard to find. The first set printed in Korean was Visions, and the last Urza's Saga, which puts Fourth Edition and Fifth Edition in Korean also. 4th Korean is BB, which mainly includes BoP and Dark Ritual. Fifth is WB. This means Korean Foil doesn't exist, and really no deck can be fully Korean. Hope that helps some.Quote:

For me, pimping a deck means getting all cards english foil, for cards not available in foil the oldest version of the card and Unlimited Duals.
I like them unlimited because the coloring is way better than the revised versions, and I like to be able to search fast for my duals. Making them the only white bordered cards in my deck really helps. I never had any Beta duals however, so I don't know the difference. However, I think I'd still prefer Unlimited.
In the end, pimping is building and collecting a deck in the way you like it. I want to feel good when playing a deck, I'm not playing a deck to impress my opponent. Blinding them into playmistakes is always cool, but really an urban legend.
I'd stick to a certain theme however. When going foreign, stay to 1 language. I personally hate decks which are totally asian, but have japanese, korean and chinese cards in it.
The only problem with that is that it's almost impossible. Japanese is the only asian language that's been in print since Mirage, Korean died in Saga, as did T Chinese, which is when S chinese started, I think. I like the variety of asian languages in one deck, it makes it more interesting than staring at fairly simular characters the whole time.Quote:

I've got tons of cards memorized down to their flavor-texts and who the artists were, but the order is what screws me up. I need D-Days in Japanese. I know that they were printed in 6th ed., but I'd rather have WL ones. Also, was 6th ed. printed with BB in Japanese (or at all)? I can't say that I've ever even seen a 6th ed. Japanese card...Thx again.
I'll be Asianing out DDFT, and I'll put up scans when I get done. Fetches, IA Brainstorms, Ponders, and LEDs are gonna suck. Oh well, 'tis life.

Japanese 6th edition is very real.
They ONLY do BB for base sets when it is the first set in a particular language. (or it is Xth edition)
BB English - Alpha/Beta
BB Italian - Revised
BB French - Revised
BB German - Revised
BB Spanish - 4th
BB Portuguese - 4th
BB Japanese - 4th
BB T-Chinese - 4th
BB S-Chinese - See below
BB Korean - 4th
BB Russian - 9th
Very sadly, BB S-Chinese was neglected, it would have been 5th Edition.
English Sets - All, Fallen Empires is only English, Starter is only English, Un-sets are only English, ONE Salvat deck (rats)
Italian Sets - Legends and up, Revised and up, Salvat
French Sets - Ice Age and up, Revised and up, Salvat
German Sets - Ice Age and up, Revised and up
Spanish Sets - Ice Age and up, 4th and up, Salvat
Portuguese Sets - Ice Age and up, 4th and up
Japanese Sets - Mirage and up, 4th and up
T-Chinese Sets - Tempest/Saga/MM/Invasion/Odyssey/Onslaught BLOCKS, Mirrodin (not DST or 5DN), Portal 1, P3K, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th
S-Chinese Sets - Urza's Saga (not UL or UD), Invasion and up, 5th and up, Portal 1, P3K
Korean Sets - 4th, 5th, Visions, Weatherlight, Tempest, Stronghold, Exodus, Urza's Saga (yes, that's it)
Russian Sets - Ravnica and up, 9th and up (Coldsnap was NOT printed in Russian)
Wizards has lots of blunders in the language section.
For whatever reason, FE was only English, it should have Italian, too.
They skipped their ritual of a BB set for S-Chi 5th.
Korean was practically "sprinkled" around on the set list.
PO2 had no Chinese, but PO1 and P3K did, and then Starter dropped foreign languages all together.
Coldsnap was inexplicably skipped in Russian, and the Special Theme Decks weren't printed in Chinese.
Two sets in magic have 10 languages (5th and Saga)
This is really annoying for people who collect all of a certain card that happens to be in one of those sets. (9-pocket binders)
