Re: [DO NOT TRY TO SELL IN HERE] Pimp Legacy Decks
Is pithing needle 10th edition in foil considered pimp. I'm wondering since its about half price of kamigawa, but maybe that's how it always is with original series vs. later ones?
Re: [DO NOT TRY TO SELL IN HERE] Pimp Legacy Decks
Generally that's the rule, unless the original art is contemporary and sucks. See Ponder for example. Any other version looks better than merfolk titties

So, the point of my very long story is; do I go for Japanese Innistrad non-foil, Japanese Modern Masters non-foil or English Judge foil?
I really feel like the original art is superior, not because it's the most aesthetically pleasing art in a vacuum, but because it's what a Snapcaster Mage looks like. It's the best version because it looks the most like a Snapcaster Mage, if that makes sense. In the same way, I think the MM art for Tarmogoyf is a lot prettier than the original FUT, but a FUT Tarmogoyf is what a proper Tarmogoyf looks like to me, and for that reason I always play those. Same with Wasteland, I absolutely love the art on the EMA version, but I play with Tempest because that's looks the most Wasteland-y. Well, that's my jam anyway. We all have different reasonings for our choices, and iconicness scores very high with me.
Regardless of all that, I'd like to add that I think the promo Snap looks like dog shit. The MM one is miles better.

Tried finding Grr's images on Photobucket and even the pages on their site don't let you see the content.

Pictures seem to load fine on their blog though strangely enough

Damn. Thanks for warning me folks, if someday I manage to sit down in front of my home computer again I'll try to fix it :/
Re: [DO NOT TRY TO SELL IN HERE] Pimp Legacy Decks
Unfortunately I also use photobucket, so guess I won't be uploading pics . . . but yeah, just got my first Power! Unlimited Ruby and Emerald. Perhaps not exciting by the standards of some posters, but I'm pumped. I'm hoping to have a playset of Moxen by Eternal Weekend so I can play in the Vintage Champs.
With that I'm also picking up Japanese shit for White Eldrazi. I'll try to post something once I have the deck together.
Re: [DO NOT TRY TO SELL IN HERE] Pimp Legacy Decks
Hey, new to the thread. Been having fun checking out the previous pages, lot of cool stuff posted.
Anyway, stylized my legacy burn deck a few months ago. Took a while, but i'm pretty happy with the results. I know burn isn't a legacy favorite, but it's definitely fun to just relax sometimes and just throw some bolts at the face.

Lol I love when people do that shit. I had an all white bordered Imperial Painter deck. I must say though, I'm not a fan of the way the new card face end's up looking.

Great points. Agree completely on Tarmogoyf too, when you see one hit the board you immediately know what it is and that's whats important about the aesthetic. I think I'll stick with Innistrad for now and see what comes in the future. Thanks!

I did that with my UR storm in Modern too (when I was still playing that format 1-2y ago). My basics of choice were Starter 99. They are WB already but the ink on the pictures has something
special to it. They look sharper I'd say.

You're just a custodian of those AR Mountains. Don't WB them! [emoji44]

Inninstrad snapcaster for sure because that's an actual person there. I don't really like when they do new art for people's invitational cards. The guy MADE that card, you know? It should be the OG art for all eternity and reprints.
Another general pimping question, is new RPTQ Emrakul the Aeons Torn cool enough to displace ROE Emrakul? Not being original set/old border hurts the new one, but the art is way way way cooler IMO.

Well, seems they want to move away from that as all the invitational reprints got new art.

No, a promo can never overthrow the original.

I think the only exception is the Judge Elesh Norn. They're more common now with the latest wave but still, that thing is a beauty.

Apart from the PT box, sure.
