[DO NOT TRY TO SELL IN HERE] Pimp Legacy Decks

[GrAsH]

I have a little question: Do you guys consider Portuguese as a pimp language?

I do, it's pretty hard to get in the states.

Not if you live in Portugal. Pimping is about getting what's hard to get, not what's widely available.

[JeroenC]

Personally, I consider every non-English Western language to be un-pimped. I want my cards either Asian or English. Only exception is FBB duals and cards that sound silly translated. Like Retard (French Delay).

I don't like Chinese cards. The languages I prefer, in order, are:

English (boring right)
Japanese
Russian
French

I don't really like other languages, although I haven't seen many Korean, and those look okay.

Korean > Russian > Chinese > Japanese > German > English > Other Languages.

I agree that non-Romance alphabets look a lot better. For some reason I think I like Russian the best. I always liked the Hebrew Glory that was passed out at the Judgment Prerelease (and I seem to remember liking the Arabic card...what was it, Laquatus' Champion?), and I was a little disappointed that they didn't make more.

Really? IMO JP and Russian are at the top. S-Chinese is terrible tho. Worse than English even.

Yeah, I normally like to get a mix of the languages, not exactly pimping the deck, but I like all foreign languages. A deck of mine can have Italian, French, English, Russian, Chinese, all mixed. I also like to put textless spells.

Not exactly pimp, but like some sort of sentimental value, or... Hell, I can't explain really well.

And I HATE PORTUGUESE CARDS, some cards have silly and stupid translations (if you can understand portuguese you know what I'm talking about, lol) .

Wow, Sanskrit is beautiful. I wish that would exist cards in that language, I'd build an entire deck in Sanskrit.

[Michael Keller]

Less talk. More pimp.

Does Richard (pickle.69) have that? Because he fucking needs it if he doesn't!

You'd expect the cards like the Arabian one or the Hebrew one to have P/T to be written down as T/P, but I guess that would be too confusing.

[Occam]

He does :) I made this scan specifically to ask him about its authenticity, as he told me previously that he owned one. Never been an expert on such cards, especially the non-cardstock versions.

[JeroenC]

So is this like just a piece of paper glued to a card? Still:

[Waikiki]

probably not even glued.

It isn't glued, although some other copies are. I bought some of these as they're pretty important parts of magic's history. Most of these are on cardstock, but some are printed on a weird type of paper (like the dragon above), and the latter are basically distinguished only by the paper type and the seller's reputation.

@Yawg: Oh, I think I can get a giant growth for you if you are interested. Lmk.
