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

[Shursh]

I'm concerned with weight and flow - of which T-Chinese and Russian both carry. The reason why Russian looks so appealing (imo) is the fact that the characters all have a level cap height creating, visually, "lines" across each row of words. It flattens out the round and bobby look of the roman alphabet and gives it a very crisp, hard edge.

don't know about asian font, but all russian cards made with cyrillic 'times new roman'. none unique fonts here.

I've seen the 8th foil stuff, though, and the silver-bordered Exodus test foils just blow away EVERYTHING when you see them in person. They are RADIANT. I will be bringing these puppies to some of the SCG Legacies, as well as GP Columbus. Hell, I'd play them if the judges would let me.

At least I can probably bust out these guys

Those took me I think 5 or 6 years to put together.

Different strokes for different people, I guess. The 8e stuff is divisive in terms of looks, but they are almost certainly the most prestigious of the test prints for their rarity and cost. None of the other sets save fifth dawn even come close, in my opinion. Saga won't cut it when neither the bolt nor cradle is worth more than an 8e Counterspell, which is itself not the highest priced 8e print by a long shot. I'll say that the Exodus prints look pretty good (although I went for bb over sb), especially with the lighter coloured ones, just a bit tarnished by some of the foiling errors (a lot of foiling lines etc). I personally think that the textless bolt is the prettiest test print and that the staff of domination is one rare instance where sunburst foiling works.

Back during Origins in 2003, I tried to trade a full set of Beta Power 9 for a play set of test foil Survivals.

Even back then, I wasn't offering enough to get the guy to trade me.

Apparently these are now in the terretory of workshops and bazaars. One of them is very mint and the other is NM-.

Really?

What are these worth? I have one (and some other Exodus test prints but they're not really playable cards so I expect they're not as valuable).

[Julian23]

I can't give exact numbers but those will go for A LOT of money.

i hope this is a joke..

Well over a month of searching, but I finally found a volcanic...





And some pics of the deck I am working on(have jap foil 7th cities in the mail so I won't bother posting my AN ones)









Pretty much everything else is in the mail. All I am actually missing and cannot seem to find are as follows... 1 korean ill gotten gains, 4 japanese foil chrome mox, 3 japanese foil infernal tutor. The chrome moxes seem to be impossible to find though. I have asked everyone. If anyone knows of some please lmk.

[badjuju]

Dude...
Dude...

My heart can't take it. It's too beautiful

I'm still hunting for the jp LEDs. Anyone have word on where I can reliably find some, let me know.

They are quite valuable. I was searching for the Survival and ran across one, but it passed out of my range of what I would spend on a card at $1000. Give you an idea? The City of Traitors obviously is another quite costly one.

Scan them up and post them and I'm sure there's quite a few people who would love to see them and could tell you most anything you would like to know about them.

[elof]

Awesome.

I think I saw 4 signed jap foil Chrome Moxes in sweden a couple of months ago, shall I see if they are still for sale?

Ever notice most of the heavily pimped out decks are Tendrils decks? My most pimped out deck would be Tendril also. I'll have to post it sometime, though I like English and Alpha.

[DownSyndromeKarl]

I'd like to see a NOGen deck get pimped. Russian Foil Progen would look sweet

Simple explanation: Combo players love to masturbate. + You don't need to pimp goyfs.

And it seems like combo players invest more heavily into their decks timewise. (And decks rarely change outside of a few cards. Compare that to Probasco CB-Top to Supreme Blue to NOBant as the pre-eminent CB-based strategies of the past year)

Some decks just take a lot of work and money to put together. Combo pieces are usually fairly easy to come by. A completely jap foil and alpha black countertop deck will cost close to $7,000. It will also take a lot of work finding nm alpha duals as well as jap foil deltas, goyfs and confidants.

[badjuju]

I also think that combo players invest more time into their decks. Yes we masturbate in front of our cards a lot, so lets make them shiny and twice as fun!

7th Cities are Hottt.

I still need 2 Mox. I'm down to 2 Mox, 2 Ritual, 1 Xantid Swarm.

No, it's not a joke. I knew the card is valuable, but I was unsure of how much - 'valuable' could refer to a wide range of prices, and that is what I was asking about. It could have been $200 or $2000, I didn't know. Now I have a better idea.

I'll scan them tomorrow (if the scanner at work is fixed by then).
