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

[lorddotm]

German > French > Korean = Russian > Japanese > Portuguese > English = Spanish > Chinese > Italian

I used to despise foreign cards altogether, but after I picked up FBB duals I started to appreciate German/French.

So wrong.

Spanish>German>French>Korean>English=Italian>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Everything else.

Also, Portuguese is the language that people like Christiano Ronaldo and Kaka grew up with, so there is no way I would ever play a card with that abortion of a language on it. No offense. ¡Víva España!

You need a new translator.

Yeah I was born on Mallorca, in Palma, but I'm a Barcelona fan. (All my friends liked Real Madrid or Real Mallorca, and I wanted to be against the grain, I was a rebel, even at 5 years old. Che ain't got shit on me).

[PanderAlexander]

Sweet cards Bryan.

I swear these "what's pimper" topics pop up here every couple pages. Some like the oldest English set, some like Asian, some like Russian, there's no conformity, I think they're all cool.

Actually Mallorca belongs to Germany.

Also, why does everyone hate Chinese? I think it's pretty cool, especially the older cards.

Actually Mallorca belongs to Germany.

There is a huge difference between Mallorca being infested with Germans (to the point where it is unbearable, Germans are as bad, if not worse, than America tourists), and Germany controlling Mallorca.

A quick Google search shows us this: Mallorca Wikipedia

Nice stuff!

Very true, the Euro really took a lot of our cards. It's very unfortunate, but I'm trying to bring it all back :P

-Matt

You're not lying man. It's cheaper to buy from a US vendor than it is to trade cash here in the EU. I can't speak for other countries, but here in NL the eternal market is quite fair and thriving. But when purchasing cards, it makes sense just to buy in USD. Recently at a yearly Legacy Open, our main trader in the country had a booth, and he was selling an Ex+ (or so it looked) UNL Lotus for 750EUR (just over 1,000USD) Moxen of the same grade were 250eur. The blue spells were 200/250 depending, of course. Of course, prices have historically been lower considering we're at an all time high for people buying into the Eternal card pool.

I brought my collection wiht me when I moved overseas a few years ago and am so glad I didn't trade it away for lunch money back stateside. The strongest currency wins out.

Abortion of a language? What kind of respect do you have for the Portuguese/Brazilian/etc people and for our language?

[sdematt]

Well, if Greece, Spain, Portgual, and a bunch of other countries fail again, hopefully the Euro drops a bit. No offense or anything, just hoping it backs off to something like 1.3 or 1.25 :P

[jamesh]

LOL the silver lining of total economic collapse - cheaper mtg cards!

[sdematt]

Honestly, the best time to buy cards was right when the recession hit. People unfortunately needed to make rent and mortgage payments, which is where I came in :)

Why does everbody hate chinese ?

I prefer chinese always above laguages like, english, french, spanish etc .. ( which I all REALLY dislike )
Maybe that's because I am from Europe, and that's all pretty common here, but still ?

I think T-Chinese from back in the day was cool, but then they started printing S-Chinese, which is just awful compared to the older style. Comparing the stylings of Asian languages, I rate them as such:

Korean Style 1 (Visions, 4th) > Korean Style 2 (everything else) > Japanese > T-Chinese > S-Chinese.

Examples of each:

The start of something Patriotic - UWr Tempo


Also, some Jacestorms (better quality than last time)

Examples of each:

The Rack and Ruin is Traditional Chinese since they didn't print Legacy in Simplified.

Quick version of Simplified I could find:



The text stands out almost as much as the Korean 4th which I like more than the T-Chinese text.

The Korean cards you posted are beautiful.

[Koby]

Oops, my mistake. Ya Visions was a good run for Asian languages, but then it went downhill after that. The T-Chinese from that set is very pleasant, whereas afterwards it was blocked up and just looks busy.

[death]

Korean > S-Chinese > T-Chinese.

L-R: helm of awakening (korean), ghastly demise (S), echoing truth, misdirection, ghastly demise (T), mindbreak trap


I prefer the Simplified and blocky T-Chinese than the newer Chinese ones that are coming out (see Mindbreak Trap).

the last few pages have had some good discussion as well as scans. Loved it. I'm going to be selling my fish deck to help pimp out my TES deck. I as well am sticking with TES even with MM's flying around.

[Harduvel]

Here's my RUG Dreadstill deck. I was having quite a bit of success with this prior to the printing of Mental Misstep, but I've since been forced to put it on the shelf. It's the first and only deck I've "pimped" 100% (all of the remaining English foils should obviously be German, but other than that it's exactly as I like it). Enjoy!

[kiblast]

I absolutely love your Phyrexianisches Schlachtschiff. I do own one myself, probably no other card says ''here it comes armageddon'' better than a Phyrexianisches Schlachtschiff.
