Yes, I realize some people think altering is tacky but I really want to keep my deck altered, so if I get the new NOs, they'd be a 4 seasons alter (Polar bear killing seal in winter, Cougar killing monkey in spring, Tiger killing boar in fall, Lion killing gazelle in summer).
The 4 seasons sounds amazing. I say go for the new ones. Alter them. Then make a thread so we can see this awesomeness...then make a pollQuote:

Just get him to only sign black cards, or CoP: Black. Or Invoke Prejudice, for extra bonus points.Quote:

Soon we'll be able to play with foil Japanese/Simplified Chinese ones, but you know, something feels bad about it. Even if foil Japanese, even if it's the first foil Japanese version... it's still a reprint (and a new frame one).
It's hard to define some rules that you can follow in every case. For example, if you considered the first foil Asian version as the pimpest, you would be playing foil Japanese Explorations. Sorry, but I prefer original ones, specially Korean or Traditional Chinese ones. And if you stick with the first Asian reprint, then you'd have to play for example 5th Edition Pyroblast, Brainstorm, painlands, etc.
Only if you need to justify half assing on English foils.Quote:

Trying to define pimp standards is just silly, my reprint bolt could buy a beta lotus, i dont think is really that far behind an alpha bolt for example.
Trying to define the most pimp is silly, different people prioritize different things. For example if I were to play only the most expensive version of a card I'd be playing ONS foil Heaths alongside Expedition Verdants which IMO (and a lot of other people's opinion...) would look trash (but if you like it, then you do you). Instead I play Khans heaths with my verdants because having them match better means more to me than price or original print.
We've never had this conversation before, would you two like to elaborate further?
