I was trying to quote something from his quote, namely:

But its pretty much all about what you want in your deck, for example picking a card like Birds of Paradise, the Poole art is nuts, the 7e foil japanese are insane as always, man even the promo art from terese is super good, i would like all 3 of them in different ways, based on the rest of the deck.
As far as im concerned there are only few things that ill never consider, mostly based on the glossy FTV foil

I only go for English foils. I want to be able to read my cards, besides when you live in Europe and play against people with mismatching French, Italian and German cards and have to judge call every time some player uses an obscure sideboard card, between sensei's divining top, ponder, sfm, fetch lands and other shuffle effects, you lose precious minutes in the round and draw because of it. Jap foil I can appreciate, but the other non-English languages to me are worthless. German in particular, given the language is so close to Dutch the card names just sound stupid to my ears.

Japanese is also easy. The rest of languages, not so much. It depends on the deck, of course.

TCH is Traditional Chinese. SCH, Simplified.

Well, that's the price to pay to use foil Japanese cards :) That problem is even bigger with Korean, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese and Russian. If you want uniformity, you need your deck in English.

---

Sources from a quick Google search put the Italian print run about 10% smaller than the English one, although I could have sworn that it was actually larger.

Personally, I like the deeper color of the old FBBs compared to English (when I can't get them in Japanese) despite the fact they are approximately 25-50% less but that's just me.

This has probably been discussed but I am to lazy to search for it. If you had an all english deck would you go for the new art pack foil FoW or judge promos? How about wasteland? The player rewards looks decent compared to the ugly DCI symbols.

Player rewards wasteland all the way man, EM art looks aight though.

Incidentally, the prices on these are pretty low due to the EMA announcement so if you're interested, I'd jump on 'em.

Not sure why; those are the pinnacle of Wasteland pimpage.

Tell me about it. I could have bought those Wastelands $400 cheaper by waiting. That will show me to be a go getter.

Because not everyone has the same opinion?

Casuals eat up Expeditions.

I actually think Korean ones are classier.

I think I'd just play the original Alliances ones. I don't like reprints (except in very exceptional cases, like Mercadian Masques Brainstorm, Gateway Path to Exile, 7th Edition foils...) nor the new frame.

About Wasteland, if it has to be in English, either Tempest or MPR. Anything printed later sucks.

The others are in the mail. Will take a deck pic when everything is assembled.

Another pimp question...


Ojutai's Command regular or buy a box promo? I'm leaning towards regular but the BoB looks fantastic

original.

Original > Promo.

those beta volcs and tundras on last page :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

No foils, or signed stuff, or foreign cards, not really a fan of those.
But made a few "upgrades" to my pet deck that I've been playing since 2010.
I hope some of you may like this.
I feel a lot of pride and love for the deck when I play it. :laugh:

EDIT 1: Waaah! Sorry it came out too big, let me figure out how to make it smaller.
EDIT 2: I apologize I don't know how to make it smaller. :(
EDIT 3: I found an alternate way, haha, sorry I',m so noob at these things. :)

Anyway, after all that trouble hope you all enjoy or like it. :laugh:
