I thought about getting original foils, but to me pimping is all about what I find good looking. Judge Deeds have the better art and card border for foiling, imho. I don't like the old multicolored frame. Other old borders are superior, and hence are foil in the deck. Same holds for Japanese or Korean, I don't like the way most of them look so I stick to English and sometimes German (funny language that I can actually read). Don't forget, English is already foreign language for us Dutchies.

Some even speak Canadian, eh?
Yes, I do recognize the value of Japanese foils, but I'm only really interested in English, German or Russian. Russian is too hard to find and impossible to fully foil out, though.

oh it is possible, just takes some time :-)
everything that can be russian foil in my vintage deck, is so. and i helped a friend finish his russian foil dredge deck, just missing one narcomoeba atm. and there are few other people here with russian foil legacy decks (hukstor, smallfish, subzero)^^
Picked up some awful awesome russian/koreeeeen stuff at low TCG english prices ...
Steam .... floggaaa ... boss ....
Russian Undead Warchief FTW! Are they for Vial Zombies?
Just ordered a German Phyrexian Dreadnought off of SCG. Im not very knowledgeable, but I feel like 15 for the German one while the English one was also 15 is a good deal.
Just picked up these foil jap beauties

I don't always play blue cards
But when I do, I prefer ko-reen
or Russian if they are Polymorph ... because they match the only Emrakul I currently own ...
or German if they involve donating illusions and / or Gedanken(anything)

Mind Pastry. Wonder WTF it means in Korean? Anyway Psychic Vortex is reserved list gold just waiting to be broken.
New package came today with 4 Shardless Agents, 4 Fragmentlose Agentins, 4 Polluted Delta, 1 GroBeres Wohl, and 1 Zerzauste Heide. I'm pretty pumped.

If they were called Strudel Puls i'd definately be playing them.
Strudel your Jace. Problem?
The nice thing about getting your PhD in philosophy is being required to speak every language since the birth of time. That's why my decks are usually Chinese/Japanese/German/Russian.....Ancient Greek? If you can read some Japanese you should be able to nit-pick out some characters on Chinese cards. Putting them together is the hard part![]()
yea, very few have the same meanings as their chinese origins, thats the problem :-/
so i usually dont even try to do so^^
