So German is pimp now?

So German is pimp now?

Does someone ask this like every 10 pages? I swear I've seen this question multiple times.

[Tha Gunslinga]

Yes, yes it is. Also, pimp is in the eye of the beholder.

[Julian23]

It's funny because almost every German would trade his cards for the English equivalent without any hesitation.

It's funny because almost every German would trade his cards for the English equivalent without any hesitation.

and every jap would trade theirs for eng. It just seems that everyone wants cards that aren't their native language.

[fyrisen]

That's because it only sounds dumb in the owners ears. But Swedish cards would be effin' awesome.

[yawg07]

The one Arabic card they did looked so sick. I wish they'd continue that.

craptalk ...

so many people i know are playing german cards over english cards because it is their native language.
also german is considered more pimp than english which results (most of the time) in slightly higher prices for german cards than for their english equivalents. no one i know would generally trade german for english.

Oh. My. God. That would be Wizard's best move since printing Life from the Loam.

I agree completely. One day I was really bored so I looked up a bunch of different alphabets. By far the coolest were Urdu, Korean, Arabic, and Aramaic. It would also be awesome to get bazaars and AN cities altered to be written in arabic, but you would need to find a calligraphist.

I like the full art Mutavault sitting in the corner.

I just crapped my pants - look at that foil russian mutavault.
Guess I have to visit my home country sooner than intended.
Where can I get some cards around the Kaliningrad area?

[theteeg]

"Craptalk"...yeah, that makes a point. I'm sorry if your peer group doesn't go with the general trend but unless it doesn't matter English staples like FoW, Goyf etc. will always sell higher than German ones. Only by a slight margin but it is in existance. I'm not talking kitchen table Magic players that want their cards to be in the native language.

you simply said that "almost every German would trade his cards for the English equivalent without any hesitation" which is just not true - and it does not matter if it is about competitive or casual magic. staples - especially foils - in foreign languages are more rare and german ones tend to sell for more.
as you mention it - english forces go for more than german ones ? nice joke :)


the fish deck is very nice. many lovely foils. well done even if think i would do it a bit more uniform regarding the languages.
ohh ... and what is the card left of the middle wake trasher ?

By far the coolest were Urdu, Korean, Arabic, and Aramaic.

you mean hebrew and sanskrit ?

[majikal]

ohh ... and what is the card left of the middle wake trasher ?

Looks like Thada Adel.

[andrew77]

you mean hebrew and sanskrit ?

Hebrew is similar to Aramaic. Urdu is spoken in Pakistan and seems to have some ties to sanskrit, but looks quite different. Here is force of wills textbox in Urdu....

اپ کی زندگی اور ایک جلا وطن سے ایک لاجور
دی کارڈ ہاتھ بجائے پیٹرولیم ادا کریں گے فورس
کے ذریعہ . عبدالرحمان دمڑے پڑھنت ہدف ہے.


And in Arabic...

ويمكنك دفع واحد أزرق بطاقة من حياة المنف
ى منكم يده بدلا من دفع تكلفة وهبة في قوة
الإرادة/البرلمانان. مواجهة توضح المستهدفة.

And Korean...

당신이 하나의 삶을 지불하는 청색과 망명 네
손에서 카드보다는 의지의 힘을 지불 폭격 같
이 갑시다. 카운터 대상 마법에 걸려 있습니다.

[xTrainx]

Thada Adel, Merfolk Aquisitor 1UU

Islandwalk
Whenever ~ deals damage, search their library for an artifact and exile it. Until end of turn, you can play that card.
