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

[Chimera87]

I prefer uniformity, one reason why I pimp in German.

I had the same thought until I remembered Karakas... :(

I play beta duals, I'm fine with some english cards.

German Time Walk is a tough find also. But to r3dd09 's point ... if you want non English then German and Italian provide the most coverage. German is clearly the superior language because of the absurd amount of text required to describe a MTG card in German. Italian Legends are ghetto.

I usually go with english foil/german nonfoil BB.

Always in original printing, ie. Perish will be tempest etc. (also, any reason to play "Untergang" is highly appreciated)

There are only a few cards that can keep up with german names.

To be fair, Тармогойф is read as "tar-ma-goiph". The third letter is Roe, the 6th letter is Gamma, the last letter is Phi. R-G-Ph.

People are just too stupid to realize that letters exist outside the English alphabet.

The 3 I listed are not German. I'm saying those are the unique names I like that aren't german.

'Murica, right?

Тармогойф is probably the only card I'd play over the German counterpart.

I'll stand by Frostbringer as my favorite non-English card name.

I feel like I get to get in there by "booping" my opponent. Teehee, indeed. 0 masculinity lost.

I tried telling them that for over a year. It didn't sink in.

Quick question, I am pimping one of my vintage decks. I don't like foil (only Goblins do). So I wanted to make it Korean signed or Russian signed. But not all cards are in those languages. Moxen are English, duals are FBB German (prefer this over beta). But what about the other cards? Would it look riddicolus to mix Korean and Russian? What about signed / non-signed? Some artist have told me they don't sign anymore (Adam Rex) or don't sign by mail (Kev Walker). Should I try to get whatever edition just as it is signed? Or go for unsigned Korean / Russian?

How I rate:
Signed before unsigned
Russian -> Korean -> German -> Other Asian -> English

I think mixing Korean and Russian looks particularly good together. But I don't mind mixing languages as much as some people seem to. I think if you're committed to pimping out a vintage deck, then pretty much your only option is to go with maximum value, right? Korean and Russian are almost always the most difficult to find of any language and give you decent coverage (4th -> Saga, Rav -> now). The difficult part is the Urza's Legacy -> Kamigawa gap. I think that S-Chinese looks really good in that era, but to each their own.

Thank you, the best answer (or at least the one that suited me best)

Will see how far I can get and post the result in a month or two. Cheers!

Maybe for you, but for me, it was almost criminal.

Ancient Tomb and CIty of Traitors come to mind ... but most sweet robots are not available in Korean. WHAT TO DO?!?!?!
