    Best looking swamps?

    I've decided for Christmas, I am getting myself a "pimped out" magic deck. The deck I have chosen to waste some money on is called the Nightmare Effect (http://forums.mtgsalvation.com/showthread.php?t=231984). I've always had a soft spot for mono black decks. :)

    I've pretty much decided what version of each card I want to get, except for the basic swamps. That's where you guys come in! I need help picking (mainly because I am lazy). I need twenty-two swamps total, all with different art. Suggest any and as many as you like. The only thing I want to stay away from is cards with alterations done to them.

    Happy Thanksgiving! If I am rambled in this post, I apologize. I am really tired. :P

    You must at least get the two Alpha swamps (and the 3rd original picture in Beta). I guess the Guru and APAC are pretty nice, too. Then just pick the ones you like. (I've got my favorites, but I'm not telling, except for the Alpha ones). Foil if you have to (but I advise against it because foils suck).

    These are my two favorite, and look quite awesome in foil:

    I like a couple from Graveborn, in foil... (dunno if they are exclusive to this deck or not though.. I'm kind of stuck to a few expansions ago :D )

    I would keep it all old card frame. Will look much cleaner.

    This one, only in foil though. When you foil it out, it looks like a big giant penis in the middle.

    It's hard to beat Portal's land art.

    Agreed. Portal lands aren't pimp but they sure are pretty, and that can count even more.

    The alternate art portal forests and islands are cool, you can see them here http://magicsphere.net/?page=31&menu=1&id=15032
