While the Fastbond is really top notch and the 3 Sol Rings are not bad either I feel like the attitude towards alters changed so drastically that in that progress they became mass produced goods. 2-3 years ago people (outside out Italy and Spain) would rarely touch that kind of stuff and now they are everywhere and close to everything is available for money on ebay, mcm or directly at the artists. The attitude towards signatures changed in a similar way - with similar results. Even leaving out all the negative stuff like fake signatures or alters I still feel very strange about that kind of [once rather personal] stuff being available in bulk for mere money. Once again it is solely about those funky green pieces of paper.
Regarding the non foil russian Goyf ... non foil cards in moonrune languages are among the biggest traps I have ever dealt with - decently rare, completely overpriced while the demand is super small. I hope none of you buys that kind of stuff with the intention of ever flipping it. In that case they would usually stick to you like dogshit to your shoe.
Nedleeds to say I will never ever touch either segment again.
PS. At least you can read Russian like a western language if you spend the one or two hours to learn basic Cyrillic while the other funky looking moonrunes are at best aesthetically appealing.
This isn't mine, but I thought you guys might like to see it. Someone posted on reddit with their fully pimped cube. He said that he was trying to encompass the history of magic, so there are some foils, some alters, some miscuts, some alpha, some incredible cards, some mediocre, and a couple of Anime girls.
The cube is rough and there's a lot to both love as hate, but it's a pretty sweet collection:

I honestly LOVED the Wrath of God. That was just insanely nice done.
That Timetwister too, though... And the BigUp Fact is just out of this world.
That is a nice cube.
It's also nice to see a lot of cards that I have painted getting some action.
I hope it is getting played a alot.
Just daily russian trades. Here we don't give a

The only reason you could do that is because I was brushing my teeth. You should have taken the chance and tried to run off with them :P

Do I have to dig up the video of the Philippine Vintage event with guys playing in top loaders?
Lol, I remember seeing this one 2-3 years ago I think. It was on a Manila eternal blog which they used to keep pretty active if I'm not mistaken. Haven't seen any content/results/decklists come out from that for a while.
