I much prefer to see legacy decks then those single cards. Single cards can be googled, pimped out decks are atleast different with each incarnation.

eBay is flooded with judge foils ATM, so this might not be a bad time to look if you're interested in picking some up.
I noticed and grabbed up some. What's the new influx for? Anyone know?
3 Grand Prix and a Pro Tour in the past 5 weeks, I assume.Quote:

2 is right
3 is right
4 is definitely not right because korean comes before japanese
I'd say on the topic of foil LoA's that 7th is better simply because there are less foil 7th japanese lord of atlantis's than there are of foil japanese timespiral LoA's.
Nice japanese foil dredge deck by the way very hard to acquire some pieces.
I gues you're happy as hell to have bought those Grim Monolith in time, it will be a bith to get the fourth one though.Quote:

Revised German Black Boardered, Beta or the old promo foilQuote:

4) German BB (has blitz in the name/old pic)
5) Old Foil promo
6) Foil Jap M10
7) textless promo
8) does it even matter at this point?
Isn't regular M10 Foil above the textless? It's so easy to get textless bolts.Quote:

That's a Swamp. But one hell of a pimp swamp.
I agree that it can be awesome. I was playing in a 10 proxie tournament and I had a basic land with BOLT written on it because I forgot my bolts. I forgot to add summer bolts to the list. They have the added appeal of looking like crap to the untrained eye. It would be fun to play a summer bolt, have someone come up and ask why you have such a lame bolt in a pimped out deck and just let them think its worth nothing.Quote:

I have no clue if all sets are printed in these languages, so my question is: In what language are all of these cards printed, blackbordered, if any?
The cards I use:
EE
Top
Standstill
Humility
Brainstorm
Counterspell
Force of Will
Spell Snare
Path to Exile
Swords to Plowshares
Elspeth
WoG
Vindicate
Fetch/Duals/Factories/Wastelands/Basics
Slinga, I love the Swamp.
Everything is available in the european languages you mentioned.Quote:

I'm looking to get a play set of all the languges that Sensei's Divining Top was printed in. If you have any that you are willing to sell please PM me.
My hurricane.

A valued part of my collection (and part of my next scan), but to be honest, if I had to take a blowtorch to either the hurricane or a card like say the EE test print, there'd be one less hurricane in the world. I also passed up on trying for the summer serendib because I just paid for this and a couple other things :(
On lightning bolts, without being partial to something I own, textless saga > all else by a considerable distance. Full albino bolts are next (anyone who's seen these know that they are gorgeous), followed by summer. Double prints are next followed by heavy miscuts. The rest don't really matter compared to the preceding.
summer being labeled as revised is so nice ... psa got some experts :laugh:Quote:

Sorry if the picture quality is questionable.
I don't really follow any pimping "rules" I just went with whatever I could find and what I felt looked good.
Couldn't decide between foil DCI Swords and Beta Swords so that's why there's the 2/2 split.
fool - better teach yourself and take a look ... look closely ...Quote:

That tormod's crypt is ugly and I dont enjoy promo foils as much as real. But otherwise its perty
Is there a website with pictures of these? I didn't even know some existed...Quote:

Nice Landstill deck! Except for the Fetches. What are they, the judge promo ones? Ugly, really. The old layout is much better.
Anyways congratz on the rest, it's awsome! :wink:

I have to say that I actually like the Judges' Onslaught fetches better than the originals because they foiled up the art; I was never particularly a fan of the shooting star thing, and I personally enjoy foils solely for the way they highlight the art.Quote:

I know that almost any artist will sign cards if you mail them with a self addressed stamped envelope. If you google it someone put together a decent contact list on the Wizards forums iirc. Also, if you are ever near Boulder CO, Dan Frazier loves to have people to his house to sign cards. He does it so he can try to sell you art though. Was kinda akward...Quote:

Metal bolt? That's not something I've ever heard of.
