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

[Tetsu0]

Two arrived this week,I has four a year,one is coming

[sdematt]

I have found memories of watching students cry in the first year Chemistry class. It was amazing. I fed upon their soul crushing defeat.

Back to Magic.

So, I happened to get this with my package this week:



We had joked about how someone had said in passing that "my house is nice" after I thanked them for sending a package to me. Would you find it weird looking up or having your place looked up off the package you sent/received? I'm not saying I've never done it, but has anyone else ever?

Anyway, completed this playset this week, thanks to Farang and Minileets:



4 Russian Goyfs. Yay! This actually completes my Junk deck (minus Russian Abrupt Decays, but those are questionable additions depending on your opinion, so I don't have those yet).









Russian Thoughtseize Playset was hard to find, but managed to piece it together from Russia, Spain, and somewhere else...Thanks Markus!

I'm still salty that you didn't sell me the thoughtseizes, Matt :P

-ps Nice russian stuff.

Also, I'm looking for a single set of beta duals, know anyone that's selling some that are beat/cheap?


I saw talk about korean rtr box openings. My friends rare was a Chromatic Lantern.

Received a set of these in the mail today;



An absolute steal, via Boulder Magic on eBay. It arrived quickly (I paid for them Sunday), they're pack fresh, and the price was nuts. I can't say enough about them, and I'm definitely going back for more. Though most of what they have seems to be Standard-legal. >.<

Also, re: SupREME-10's life counters, I don't know how he sticks the cards together or if he wraps them in electrical tape or whatever, but the abacus seriously feels like quality plastic, kind of like those Texas Instruments scientific calculators you get issued in high school. I do keep in in a deckbox with my cards rather than free-floating in my dice bag, but I have no doubt that I'll be able to keep it for years and get some serious mileage out of it.

Matt, PM me here or email me.

MOTL is blocked at my work ( I also can't view PM's on my phone, network issues)

[nedleeds]

Is it just me or is the new forum lay out nugging the right side of peoples pimp pictures?

It's the new layout, making it a difficult time of me catching up on not viewing for a few months.

I'll have more stuff to post by the end of the month.

Nedleeds, I must say, you have some awesome stuff. I've gone through 30+ pages * I've been busy for a couple of months* and just love everything that you've posted.

Hopefully I'll be a high roller one of these days ;) Til' then, German foils is all I got haha.

Just curious, but why not these:

to take the place of the non-Russianifiable cards (also German Tops, Heath, and Virtue's Ruin, but I don't actually have any of those to post pics of)? And why Ice Age Plows over Alpha/Beta?

@ mini1337s: I have seen your almost all foil Maverick and your Newer almost all Russian decks in real life, and bot of them look AWESOME. I am not even a fan of Foil Cards and I like the way you pimped that Maverick deck. Bloody Sweet and thank you for sharing it with us and for beating my face in with when I was throwing some Merfolk at you.

@ coraz86: in regard to the Abacus, The Royal Assassin was the 15th abacus I have nade now (about 1 a month on average) and the guy above you (mini1337s actually got the first one as a gift because he has been instrumental in my return to MTG and Legacy MTG in particular. His looks pretty shitty in comparison to yours as I learned a lot over the 15 builds. But I will assure you that the abacus is made of 100% card stock, some glue, some paint, some wire and some beads, oh and a lot of patience.

I assure you that they hold up well to usage; but like all cards, they should not be thrown into your dice bag randomly. I keep my Merfolk Assassin in my deck box in a smaller plastic bag and it is well over a year old now and going strong - it does need a few touchup on the black edge paint; but I sealed yours with laquar so it should be even more resilient.

Oh and the Abacus' take me several hours to build to that level of quality; but as each one improved I have refused to skrimp time or effort on the next so they just keep getting better. Here is a pic of yours again from another agle; and a couple pics of #16 that I traded out before I even had the build completed.






@ The Pharmacist: I saw that you commented that you might also like to get an Abacus. Fire me a Private Message and I will see what I can do for you.

Now back to the cool decks/cards in here.

As much as I don't like Foil cards, I love signed cards and my Rob Alexader signed Steam Vents is in my "Not for Trade" binder as it was the first signed card I ever got. Double signed is over the top, and man I wish I could get some T. Neilson signed cards such as a FOW... that would be through the roof in my books.

My hat goes off to you dernestor86, as those are some very nice "Signed" cards.

[dernestor86]

thanks, it was pretty hard to track them down. i had so many people looking out for them, especially the vampiric was a lucky punch!
afaik markers doesnt play the game, so i am the only person i know that has both tutors signed in a deck ;-)
maybe one day i´ll go for imperial seal but currently i even dont own a nonsigned one. should be equally hard to get as those tutors

[Atlanos]

@Matt: The Karakas and Maze looks like it seen a lot of plays.

[sdematt]

Yep. I have NM copies, but they're in my pimp binder instead of the deck.

As for the other cards, I'm actually not a huge fan of the original STP art. It's fine, but I actually like the IA one better. I guess the Deeds and stuff could all get upgraded to German, but for now, they'll do . My philosophy has always been Russian/original Korean or best art (in my opinion) in oldest English, but I guess I could run a few German pieces as well. Hm, IA did come in German, so those STP's could be German'd as well.

Well, it was my birthday, and I didn't get myself anything yet. Hm. Maybe :)

It's a mans game.

On a normal day I would "just" show you this:



and be done with it. Because it's an AWESOME haul...but today is not a normal day.

Because today I got this:




and that means that I now have my 8th completely signed set complete...Everything from Beta to Ice Age...


And now here is a link to my latest completely signed set: The Fallen Empire Set (if the mods would pretty please (with sugar on top) removed this stupid 11 picture limit I will start showing it here as well...)

[socialite]

Congrats man.

Do you take Commissions?

[nedleeds]

I wonder what lurks within these?

[nedleeds]

Also ... some russians ...
