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

[RJM]

Who likes to have fun? Not my opponents.

I saw you posting inquiries in some threads over on MOTL about Workshops... I highly suspected this might be coming.

Very nice.

[kratos]

Nice stuff Koby.

Unfortunately I have not enjoyed playing shops in quite sometime, although it is arguably the most dominant deck in the format. I hate seeing my set of Workshops sit in my binder, but i do like interactive games.

good luck on finishing that deck

[jamesh]

tonight I traded

2 gaea's cradles (english)
2 foil COK tops
1 tawnos's coffin
1 foil Michiko Konda, Truth Seeker
1 foil Troll Ascetic (mirrodin - fold damaged)
1 foil Sword of the Paruns

for

1 foil japanese top NM

[Viridia]

That is quite a good trade you got there :P

[jamesh]

It's good, but I still think it's fair.

[blackberrybold]

more foily stuff



all nm foil except the sword is exc-

[dernestor86]

What is fair on this trade? U basically traded your crap vs an uberstaple. U know that jap foil top is a 400$ card, no!?
I say well done. I dont even wanna know the other guys face when he recognizes how stupid he was

[jamesh]

more like 300
and im pretty sure he got it relatively cheap

I'd say it's retarded, but then again I have no idea what are jap foils actually worth.. so I'm just astounded that jap foil Top would pitch such a price

Greetings All!

Long time reader, first time poster... anyway could someone enlighten me as to why foreign cards cost so much more than their English counterparts? Are the print runs smaller in other languages? Is the product just more difficult to come by in the US? Is it a combination of these factors or something else entirely? I have always been astounded as to why foil Jap/Chinese/Korean cards are so crazy expensive. I prefer black bordered (usually old school ones like Beta if applicable), English, foils... but then again to each their own. Thanks.

merfolk is like the blue version of burn. when you lose to it you want to punch kittens.

I hate merfolk because people can just stumble into wins with it, especially on the play. Dazing incorrectly and just barfing lords. Burn and merfolk ... 2 decks I really hate losing to.

Anyway ... I sent matt that archon in the hopes that he can high mount some lowly merfolk player.

[Mirrislegend]

Amusingly enough, I had a slight contribution to these coming into being. Deadpool is my favorite Marvel character. I recognized that cover art on sight. The person doing the alter didn't, which I realized when they posted a work-in-progress photo in the MTGSal altered forums. I found a big pic of the image (so the artist could see, and thus illustrate, that it's Daredevil and Punisher fighting in the scope view) so it could be altered correctly. You're welcome :P

@ Nedleeds,

PM me back about the Thoughtseize.

Also, I'll try to get a pose of my Gangnam-Style mounting the local Merfolk player. I'm pretty sure Blazing Archon is pretty similar to this:



While this is technically not Legacy pimp, nor even Magic pimp, I thought since most of us grew up in the 80's and 90's, I should share.





The box isn't isn't in amazing shape; it is definitely played especially at the corners but is intact and stable. I picked it up to even out a trade for a Revised dual land. I've been looking for a box ever since I got rid of my copy's box in the late-90's. Plus, now I've got a backup copy of Goldeneye...because I can. Anyone else have fond memories of Goldeneye parties?

In the past, print runs were smaller (although I'm not certain that's as true these days).

There's also in part, I believe, the American love of Asian things which pushes Japanese and Korean in particular to go up in value (I don't think Chinese is usually that much more than English).

German and Russian cards are also getting a fair amount of attention these days.

Just my $0.02.

I do...we played the hell out of that game. Perfect Dark was my favorite though. Remote Mine FTW. The previously mentioned games are probably one-third of the good games made for the N64.

[sdematt]

Our house rules included no Oddjob, no Caves, and Proximity Mines. Proximity Mines while playing Caves was BRUTAL. No fun at all.

Sorry for the crude cut and paste job, but I guess they can't attack you if the song is too catchy?

Couple questions, I found a ton of old simplified Chinese cards and need some help figuring out what's worthwhile. Was traditional Chinese around in darksteel? Are traditional Chinese cards sought after from recent sets? Or is it the other way around.
Thanks,
John

Asian languages explained for Magic cards.

Pretty much, the blocky T-Chinese looks horrid compared to S-Chinese. Around the original Mirrodin block, they stopped printing S-Chinese, and have continued printing only T-Chinese. This accounts for the blocky Chinese font rather than the stylized cursive font. Finally, they stopped printing S-Chinese with the stylized font and returned it to blocky font. This makes S-Chinese in the stylized font more rare and collectible.

[Teferi Planeswalker]

Actually it was T-Chinese that was discontinued after during the Mirrodin Block and did not start up again until M11.
