Gunseng, Those sure are pretty Grim. I would need 2 more of those to accompany my Foil Delvers & Nivmaguses. Also Snappys.

Cool deck, and i guess its the first time i see a SoA russian Elspeth. Does anyone own a Rus Foil copy of her?
I've got a regular Foil + a nonfoil Russian, maybe i can mash 'em together? :P
I'd rather sleeve up a used maxipad than the new goyf.
Blitzkrieg!

New Goyfs are sweet. Being able to tell what the fuck is going on in the art is pretty pimp.

Reprints are never pimp. I think that's something we can all agree on.
Sometimes ... one needs justification to destroy permanents.

I don't actually agree with that fully.
Sometimes, you get a card reprinted in foil where there was previously no foil version (Flusterstorm, Brainstorm, Dark Ritual, for example). Most people would say those foil versions are more pimp than the nonfoil original print run cards.
I'm a little weird in that sometimes, I'll just like the reprint art more. A big example of this one for me is the promo Path to Exile vs the foil Shards. I do recognize though that the foil Shards is considered more pimp - that one is just a personal preference of mine. In general, I do like foils from the first version they're available from as is typical of most people who like foils.
2 Beta Volcanic Islands incoming, meaning that I only need 2 Sea, 2 Trop, 1 Tundra and 1 Taiga and I'm finished

reprint foils are never going to be as pimp as the original foils.
also, karakas foil is ugly as hell and i would rather play the original art english than those ugly foils w/ starburst all over the bottom of the card.

are you the reason I havent been winning the Beta duals auction's i've been bidding on?
on rare ocasion the Starburst at the bottom doesnt bother me if the card has the old bordern as cards with the older border are typically more vibrant. for example, the judge dark confidant has the original picture which is the preferred and the border makes the card really pop while is on the field instead of just look dark. The foils with the newer borders often look dark instead of shiny and thats one of my main complaints with the new border foils.
Oh yeah, original foils hold their value better.... take the rav lands as an example. Foil rav lands are about double their reprint counterparts. Not to mention that their artwork is better imo.

why cards are so expensive...hoarders
Yeah I had an emblem. Fetching for indestructible Comrade Dryad Arbor to save EKE was sweet also. In his defense I had Deed and he had nothing > 2cc.

I am all for original foil cards, however I am not a fan of the future sight boarder, so a foil goyf in MMA is sexier in my opinion, but to each their own.
