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

[NiRVeS]

Fixed that for you.

Come on, that's just mean. He got his FoW altered beautifully by the original artist - if he's willing to spend big money on that (and takes the courtesy to post the results here) than that's his choice. I agree that him b*tching about someone copying the alteration is unnecessary, but at least he got the real thing so why diss him on his spendings?

Where's that pimped out lands deck? I wanna see that really bad. And if dahcmai is still taking requests: Quinn.

Too bad I can't really contribute too this thread myself, since the only cards I own which are somewaht "pimp" are:
- German Wild Nacatls (since they're "Wilder" Nacatls)
- Foil Foil's (you know, the actual card)
- Korean Lotus Petals
- Judge foil Maze of Ith and Natural Order's, although one could argue about the pimpness of that...

Oh yeah, and I've got a small collection of Scathe Zombies, including some asian ones. Yeah, take that...

i agree nirves, but you can't take life to seriously, or you won't make it out alive...write that down...It's all in having a good time. As for not contributing, its all in what you think pimp really is, some like jap foil, german, french, non foil..It's what you think pimp is. Its all in taking pride of what you got. Its like sticking 24 inch rims on a 95 escort. You may like it, others may not. Post it if your proud of your deck, I cuoldn't care if others hate my decks I likem alot.

43 Lands; I haven't seen another person with it pimped at all.

Very true Judge. I would like to see a pimp 43 lands deck

many on this site could do alterations just as good if not better.

LMAO. Really? They shoulda been workin for WotC or WotC can outsource to China too. WotC pays them $20 a piece, it's a win-win situation.

ITT - buyer's remorse.


Yes, I know of at least three posters in this thread that could do an equal job if not better. Just because you have a boner for T. Nielsen doesn't maker her the best artist ever.

I see, I respect your taste. I also see you are a patron in The Awesome Altered Card Art Thread.

i think poxy and yawg can do the same if not better..poxy is hands down the best, but this conversation belongs in altered thread..

That's mine. The board is way out of date, the maindeck is mostly the same. I haven't gotten FBBs, but I'm going to be working on them in the near future.

I once played a "garden" deck i already posted, which was originally meant to be an improved version of 43 lands (in the french metagame at least). I don't play anymore so i have no idea about that though.

At this point i still had to pimp the top right cards (alterations), and the 4 explorations were meant to be altered as well by BigUp (who did the tabernacle ... that now belongs to a VIPlayer :) )

very nice, great pic

[sdematt]

Unfortunately, I don't have the other 2 in this scan:



Some NM Bazaars I used to have, numbers are from MS Paint. Sold these, unfortunately.



Some T2 greed I had around Christmas time. Sold them to buy Dual Lands and Tabernacles :D



Random old-stuff binder:




A bunch of these are old pics, unfortunately. When school's done, I'll get on getting some more pics. :(

I love the beta balance! People need to post more stuff like that

Especially because it's banned in Legacy! :)

But seriously, the Tabernacles are nice. Now just buy 4 Mirror Gallery and you're good to go.

Thanks for telling me that it's banned in legacy! Like I didn't know this

I'm willing to bet Poxy can do that same FoW alter just as well as Terese. It might even come out cleaner than hers since her alters aren't exactly in the same league as Spencers (who is in a league of his own). In case you haven't seen Poxy's alters take a look...



Oh and if you think I'm not a good judge I'll just let you know that I have probably seen more artist altered cards in person than anyone on this forum. I also own quite a few...

[ivanpei]

I've lots of english foil legacy staples like MM brainstorms, standstills, thoughtseize, goyf, but they're boring so I'll post my harder to find Japanese/Korean stuff. Enjoy! I also own the a playset of foil Altered Jace TMS by Jason Chan. One of em was posted earlier. I'll post mine below.



Everything is Jap except for the Korean BB Wrath of God and the Korean Natural order.


This Natural Order, IMO is pretty damn pimp.

And this is for my iona retainers survival:
Man fetching this out is just insane fun and major jawdrop for opponents:


Hope you guys like it! Cheers, Ivan.

[Plague Sliver]

Those Jaces...I think I just crapped my pants. Even more impressive is that 2 of them are Japanese foil. Nicely done.

[yawg07]

Someone over on MTGS was bitching because someone had a very similar alter commissioned to theirs.
Sorry, but they aren't copyrighted or trademarked, and the chivalry among altered artists isn't that high.
If someone really likes something they've seen, and doesn't want to pay what it would cost to get the other done, someone out there will paint it for them.

[jamied1981]

To the pics by poxy on previous page man i love the cabal therapies and i really like those jaces as well. i would like to meet chan so he can sign my stuff lol.

[Occam]

Not trying to be rude, but anyone calling out Terese Nielson imitators is pretty much not understanding the irony in wanting artistic honesty while commisioning work from someone who has made an altering career of violating precisely that. Not wrong or anything, but glass houses and all that.

Too bad most of my collection is in toploaders or screwdowns. I could post some really nice decks. For example, my geddon stax deck (lacking about 4 of the korean cards now) if I chose to put it together would be multiples of the four thousand dollar solution. Maybe some time soon.
