*blink* Talk about getting miscuts clustered... This was in 2 boxes today, though the cards themselves are not 'pimp' (other than a simple swamp and evolving wilds):

Thats no Swamp, that's a Guard Duty. And that's no Evolving Wilds, that's a Lay Bare. Still, I'd be thrilled to find all of those in a box. The Mountain in the bottom right is pretty awesome I think :smile:
Got the last Foil Scalding Tarn today to finish this beautiful set.

Now if I can just finish this one. Slowly finishing it. Though it sure got rough lately. Scary to think how much is on that table, none of those are CE.

I had the chance to aquire a playset of every Beta dual land back in 2002 for roughly $5000-6000 dollars and I had the money at the time. I'm still kicking myself in the ass for not showing any interest in that Ebay auction when it was avaliable.Quote:

Pimping is done by the following rules:
1: As ugly as possible promo Foil
2: Foil
3: Japanese
4: anything else.
So the Islands are MPS, there are GP Jittes and Moxen, FNM Mulldrifters, FTV:E Efreets and your general random foil crap. The Control Magic is Beta, I have no idea what to do with the Force of Wills as I don't think Willenskraft fits the deck and I'm currently in a deal to get Japanese Sea Drakes.
What's that card between the Sea Drakes and the Forces?
Sword of Fire and Ice.
man you need to fix them jittes, mulldrifters and chrome moxes, thats some unpimp shyte
You obviously didn't read. He is trying to ugly pimp.Quote:

seems like a poor excuse for not having the means to really pimp something out.
GO BIG OR GO HOME
If he REALLY wanted to ugly pimp, he'd use acetone or something to remove the ink from the border of the cards, thereby making them all white-bordered.Quote:

If you're not pimping ugly, youi're not pimping, you're just making your deck look pretty.

I've also half-heartedly started putting together a white stax deck -- the cots I posted are in there, and the geddons should all be summer by the time I get through, as should the basics. I'm just really ambivalent towards having to gather all the foreign cards that I don't have. I'll post a pic if I ever get it done.
jam jam jam...they where missing for then Bani Survi!

Good call on the duals, but you need to sexy the rest up! Get some German or Japanese in there!
And Retainers sticks out like a sore thumb. Take a sharpie to it for God's sake....
Didn't read the part where I said I prefer English, did you? :P
LOL @ sharpied Retainers though
i also prefer plain english over flashy foils and asiatic signs nowadays. pretty nice imho.
could you make a picture of the playmat please ?
The playmat is the one of M10 lifelink

But that's the same as like... 90% of people's decks at tournaments except you have BB duals.Quote:

THE PRIMER FOR PIMPIN/BALLIN:
0) Miscut versions of the below list are the defacto BALLER
1) FOIL (if available) in order of pimpness: Japanese, English (original set non judge version), all other languages/versions
2) Dual lands: Summer, BETA, FBB
3) Basic lands: Summer, Guru, MPS, FOIL Unhinged, FOIL Zendikar, APAC
4) Non foils (if FOIL not available), Japanese, English (original set), all other languages/versions
I suppose I won't bother taking pictures of my recently "completed" Aggro Loam since it's basically "just the same" as majikals deck. The only "pimp" cards in it are the 6 fbb dual lands and maybe the lone Guru Forest.Quote:

For me, signed cards are "the thing", and getting more signed cards would be the only way for me to get my deck more "pimp". So far I have only playset of signed Wooded Foothills and a lone signed Engineered Explosives.

To be honest, I'm actually enjoying the "ghetto pimp" that's happenin in here... Foil japanese decks are everywhere now, fuck em. I appreciate that someone wants to make their deck as expensive as possible, but I'd rather see a clean looking english, black bordered, non-foil deck because while it may be easier to acquire.. it's certainly prettier in my eyes and not as gaudy or flashy as 52 japanese foils and 8 revised duals or FBB duals.
Though, now that I'm going to have a bit extra free time.. maybe i'll acetone/erase down and whiteborder one of my decks.... not sure which one though... I really don't wanna WB out my LEDs, Fows, Fetches, Goyfs, Wastelands, etc..... doesn't leave many options.
So LEDless Ichorid?Quote:

Polluted Delta (Chinese)
Pernicious Deed (Chinese)
Morphling (autographed and altered with gold/siver finetip sharpie)
Portal 3 basics
Duress (korean)
Fact or Fiction (Chinese)
Cunning Wish (Japanese)
Beserk (beta)
Misty Rainforest (russian)
Capsize (korean)
But really, the most pimp deck I've ever made for anything was a 100 card highlander deck called 5-color-(my)-trade-binder, which has:
Tabernacle at Pendrell Vale
Mishra's Workshop
Library of Alexandria
Moat
Nether Void
The Abyss
Mox Diamond
One of each dual land
One of each onslaught fetch
One of each beta basic
Rishidan Port
Reflecting Pool
Karn, Silver Golem (korean)
Tezzeret (foil)
Solemn Simulacrum (Chinese)
Vindicate (Judge promo foil)
Tharan Dynamo (foil)
Gifts Ungiven (foil)
And a bunch of neat stuff.
Wow, what a pimp List! >_> Seriously how do people still not understand; PICS OR IT DIDN'T HAPPEN!
17 Beta Black Lotus
Playset of Beta dua....
You mean we're not on the honor policy? Then you might wanna just ignore that list... =P
my beta black lotus is crimped, and foil japanese. it's really cool. my mom said it was the coolest card she'd ever seen
