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

[Michael Keller]

People who've watched Commando and think it worked due to Arnie instead of the legend that is John Bennett have missed the point tbh :)

I wonder about Chinese Tempest print runs, I've gotten ahold of multiple Korean starters over the past 4-5 years but rarely see Chinese. Tempest may have been Hong Kong and Taiwan only and a smallish run, but Korean has more "value" so it gets eBayed and MOTLed around a little more.

It also took longer to find 4 Chinese Wastes than to get 8 Korean ones.

i agree, i am looking for traditional chinese myself, but it's much easier to spot korean/japanese ones.

There's a lot of Chinese stuff floating around on MKM but, as an American, its a pain to ask a third party to order a ton of playsets of random Chinese stuff from an equal amount of sellers there.

i live in HK and the locals here prefer Jap & English cards more than trad Chinese.
done even try to start with simplified Chinese ones :)
actually, even in drafts, English boosters cost more than trad Chinese.

problem here is that the legacy scene is dead, and you'll only see old cards in EDH decks.
everyone's binders is just chuck full of Standard legal cards or EDH staples.
i dont play EDH so I dont know if Wasteland is a staple since I haven't seen a Chinese Wasteland as well.

so in HK, it's Russian (no way to get them here) > Jap / Korean (a bit of preference since it's easier to get Jap cards than Korean ones) > English > trad CHinese > simplified Chinese

It's also painful paying in Euro.

Taipei is much the same, a ton of limited and miserable standard. They were getting EDH going last time I was there, but after taking a fucking beating from my mostly old Clique deck they started the next league as EDH with 'Modern Plus Commander / Planechase Sets'. Failure.

I got a bunch of T-Chinese I had no luck finding in the US whilst I was over there and generally everyone was happy to swap their TC stuff for Engrish.

Another 9 cards closer...

Is that playmat custom?

Is that playmat custom?

I think it's one of those limited playmats that Ultra Pro mailed out to random people?

The playmat in that picture is the mtg pimp version of the humblebrag.

Anyone knows of a place which carries these now? Need a couple more of the black ones.

I have never seen these. I'm assuming they released them for all 5? That would be awesome to get a playset! What are they even referred to as?

Yes, they're available in each color.

My tezzeret I've been playing on and off since GP Atlanta and the printing of Uncle Skills.



Don't think i'll ever get the sol lands and wastelands signed, but the rest of the mana base is signed ... micheal monte moore was difficult to find ...









felt nostalgic and put THE Abyss back in the last couple of weeks ...



two great tastes that taste great together ...





board ...

[Lord_Mcdonalds]

Curious, are they simply that hard to get signed (I know wasteland is)

[nedleeds]

Well none of them are going to be state side that I know of at any event. So getting them signed likely involves their representatives, mailing then across the ocean, etc.. Now that a Korean City of Traitors is worth (???) I don't know $200? I'm not going to stick them in a mailer. I could insure them but even if I got the claim ... there are no Korean CoT to buy. See eBay

It's a bunch of jap garbage and english ones ... 1 auction for german and 1 for t-chinese ...

Kev Walker isn't signing via mail and only appears like once or twice a year at a big tourney.

Colin MacNeil...Well, it isn't impossible but a lot have tried and failed...

Hey,

I was wondering if in HK people prefer T-Chinese much more than S-Chinese? In which region use traditional Chinese and simplified Chinese? Also is it hard to find Foil Polluted Delta Simplified Chinese?

Thanks!
