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

[sdematt]

I'll post some more duals when they arrive in the mail (damn you Holidays and your slow mail :( )

Grandeur, nice stuff! Could you show us more of your Summer stuff?

Just a little of those, wont be scanning in my sol ring, demonic tutor & duals, their conditions are way too pristine.

How can I see that those cards are summer edition? I can see that the decks grandeur 84 posted are very pimp. But those cards there are just total crappy, white bordered cards, they look quite shabby to tell the truth. This stuff may be expensive, but it still looks pretty ugly actually.

The decks are the most pimp ones I've ever seen however and have many beautiful cards in them.

Summer Magic has darker colors, and also there's the 1994 copyright plus artist credit.

if you do not even know how to distinguish revised and summer none will care about your opinion anyways.

i got to admit that i definitely like the dark coloring on summer cards regardless how rare they are. i like 5th korean as well which also fit into "white bordered shabby looking cards".

thanks grandeur for presenting all that insane summer cards and legacy decks to the public.
one question remains. do you completely unsleeve your cards for scanning them ?

[sdematt]

You can keep them sleeved and scan them for us, you needn't damage them in any way.

Also, did you manage to pick these up by chance or by careful trading and collection over the years?

I completely agree with this. I know how to distinguish between Revised and Summer, but it's not obvious on first glance, so what's the point? Summer cards look terrible, expensive and rare though they may be. That being said, it's pretty impressive that grandeur84 has so many.

So that's why I can't find any summer islands to buy.

That si EXACTLY the point. I like summer cards BECAUSE you have to know your stuff to appreciate them.

Christmas present.

For the people that don't notice it, you don't care. The people that do notice it will be the ones who are impressed. When you're playing Summer, that's all you'll really care about anyway.

If some kid came up to me and called me poor for having white bordered duals (but were Summer), I'd let him have his fun and wouldn't say anything. But, when the aficionado comments on what spectacular pimp you have, that's when you care the most, and you feel proud of your collection.

I used to play Deadguy in Legacy. I had all Japanese foil fetches in the deck. 2 Deltas, 2 Strands (fetches Scrubland), 2 Mires, 2 Heaths (fetches Scrubland). No one ever noticed. Ever. So I eventually sold off most of my Japanese foils. Do I regret it? Not at all.

[dahcmai]

I actually prefer the older editions of each of the cards I have. I don't like foreign stuff much and really push to get the English version. Unfortunately, that means I end up getting alphas a lot for things, but at least they look good. Kind of like Triskelion. I only use Antiquities ones despite the fact there's a foil one out there. I guess I'm just nostalgic. Though I do like Summer and Guru Islands for sheer pimp value. I use Arabians for Mountains, Sunflower Euro for plains, and alphas for Forest. That's about the only exceptions.

@Shaneswa: /jealous. Nice mat dude. How was it made?

You were doing it wrong. You get pimp cards because you like them, not to be noticed.

Also what's the point of playing Mtg to be noticed? Pimp cards is just a part of the hobby, not the main focus. You should not worry of being noticed for playing this edition in that language instead of regular english, you should worry of playing good... :)

Guys what's going on? If you don't like pimp, get out of this thread.

Slinga still rocks pimp. Just not the typical Japanese Foil that everyone else brings to the table.
