I think if somebody white bordered acetoned an entire Wal-Mart Burn deck, with Fire and Lightning everything that can be Fire and Lightning'ed. With matching shit Fire and Lightning foil mountains, shitty foil m10 lightning bolts everything, shitty new bordered foil shit for a shit deck. Then put on overalls, threw a dip in, and got some pics ... that would be pimp.

About the german/russian nonfoil list, I think that for people who doesn't like foil but like rare languages, it was really pimp, as those cards are not easy to find, and there was consistency in the deck (all the available russian cards, and the rest in german).

Agree. It also differs by country, I mean good spargel is hard to find in Atlanta ... but probably easy to find in Germany. I also bet a good plate of bbq pulled pork is impossible to get in Munich. I'm sure in Siberia my Russian Signed Emrakuls are blech.

In the US I can just go buy 4 foil Ravnica or hideous Judge Foil Dark Confidants at 10 different sites with a swipe of a card. I can't buy 4 German Dunkler Mittvissers or 4 Russian Confidants signed by Bob Maher and Magic Johnson. But many people think a Foil English Dark Confidant is more pimp than a signed Russian one. I don't. I can have 4 foils in my mailbox in 2 days. Good luck finding the others. It goes beyond aesthetics sometimes and starts to become a dick swinging contest (which incidentally ends when somebody like Occam throws a fistful of Summer duals down). I'd even say japanese foil has become blech SNIP because japanese foil is all over US eBay.

Hey folks,

This week, in Super Secret Tech a lovely Legacy deck!

Enjoy!

Got this nasty thing in the mail today. Probably taking an eraser to it in attempts of cleaning it up tomorrow. Sorry to break the blackborder brotherhood code.

Does it cost 0 and generate 3 mana? Good enough for me.

Quit stealing my analogy! :tongue:

Nice Lotus, bro.

I kinda want to buy power just for ownership purposes. Sadly, I doubt I'll get to play with them.

I bought the Honda to help someone out. The Ferrari should be purchased semi soon.

Some cards I picked up recently - nothing too nuts.

Here is a guide that I think a lot of people can agree with.

Basics (in level of prestige):
Summer > Guru > Arabian Nights Mountains > Foil Unhinged > Foil Zendikar > Beta > Apac/Euro/etc. > FBB > MPR > F̶o̶i̶l̶ ̶Z̶e̶n̶d̶i̶k̶a̶r̶ ̶> etc.

Duals:
Summer (mostly unattainable but here as a placeholder) > Beta > Alpha > FBB > Unlimited > Revised

Fetchlands:
Original Onslaught Foil > Zendikar Foil > Judge Foil > Original Onslaught > Original Zendikar > J̶u̶d̶g̶e̶ ̶F̶o̶i̶l̶

All other cards:
Original Foil (STP/Wasteland) All languages > Beta/Alpha (if available) > Original art black border (ie: Kird Ape) / Foreign version (korean, etc) > O̶r̶i̶g̶i̶n̶a̶l̶ ̶F̶o̶i̶l̶ ̶(̶S̶T̶P̶/̶W̶a̶s̶t̶e̶l̶a̶n̶d̶)̶ ̶A̶l̶l̶ ̶l̶a̶n̶g̶u̶a̶g̶e̶s̶ > Original non foil black border (Karakas, Dreadnought, Show & Tell) > Judge foil > FTV foil> White border

Unsigned vs Signed card
This one is the only truly subjective category IMO. Some dealers do not like them, some do like them. Some people consider signed cards "destroyed" and/or "ugly". Others covet them.
I will not rate them because of that.
Same with altered cards.

Edit:
Added FTV foils

Had to add my 2 cents. Bold = where I think it is. strikethrough = where you placed it. Just as a side note I prefer decks that match language and foil / nonfoil. I just wouldn't mix Beta Swords to Plowshares and foil Stoneforge mystic, for example. Make both foil, or none!

Power 9 are all over ebay too so what are you trying to accomplish really? How often can someone afford to pay for a Japanese Foil Polluted Delta? Stop bashing asian foils if you can't afford them and convince people that cheap german/russian cards are uber pimp.

This is supposedly the PIMP thread, if you don't like foils, GTFO!!

My preference is non foil, black border English, earliest edition. Looks good, new folks can read it, no issues with warping. Sadly those duals are beyond my reach, but it is what it is. Love to see it here.

I am looking for non summer, non guru basics though. Tired of full art. Any suggestions on a basic by basic basis?

Euro lands. I use the red pack for everything but the Swamp; the Swamp I like comes from the blue pack.
