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

[thecrav]

Do you know what lynching is? How many sharp ropes do you know?

just under a dollar a foot

[sdematt]

Lynching doesn't have to be by hanging, it just USUALLY is.

It's mostly just complaining anyway, past 100 pages contains very few gems.

Coitus brainstorruptus. And those hurkyl's recall, voltaics, tezzs, and duress are ugly.. (but the rest of the cards are nice :D)

Do you guys think there might be some correlation here? I'm sure people would post more stuff here if people in this thread didn't make a sport out of pissing all over every smallest little thing.

(I almost started this post with "not to critizise, but …" - but that would be a straight up lie.)

Since the "pimp status" is in the eye of the collectors and some people appear to be the pimp-police I think there is definitivly a connection there.

Those people are trying to compensate.

I realy like them. Its the nice art with the new foil.

It's the nice art, with terrible foil compared to Masques.

Fixed that for you :)

[Togores]

Sweet, I like it. Congrats on the win too, Time Vault forever and ever, amen.

Thanks ^^

@ Togores: Super cool decks, I like them! I'm intrigued by this Vintage deck too. Unfortunately I don't own the cards to play, but if I would this looks like the perfect deck for me ;)
Did you do a report or talk about the deck somewhere?

Thanks^^

Yes here is my from spanish googlw translated report:

Sweet decklist for vintage.

FNM brainstorms.

I have them since 2004. And I like so that they are the same frame like all my other cantrips in the deck. I also own a foil mercadian brainstorm just for my vintage deck.

Coitus brainstorruptus. And those hurkyl's recall, voltaics, tezzs, and duress are ugly.. (but the rest of the cards are nice :D)

I dont care about pimp level, I have my decks like IIIII want and find them cool. Im not less pimp because I like the foil key. Its foil and also the flavour text is cooler. Thats some reasons I play it.
I just own 1 foil tezzeret of the others. If I play just 1 I play the other. But if I play more I play the promo ones. Also I like the duress a lot, there also pete venters who is one of my favourite artist, he has also done the tendrills. So...

^^just watched the video in your sig and that's definitively the pimpest thing in the thread. Just better hope Occam doesn't decide to film a test print pageant

Since when do people hate on foil 7th?

Since the "pimp status" is in the eye of the collectors and some people appear to be the pimp-police I think there is definitivly a connection there.

Not to mention comments like this that play right into that:

So question...

Now that we've all had a chance to see the new foil "Expedition" fetchlands, how pimp are they exactly in the Pimpness Heirarchy for Legacy fetchlands? Are they the pinnacle? Are they not even as nice as unfoil Onslaught fetches?

How much do you guys actually like the look of the new fetchlands?

That's the issue though isn't it, what people are posting is pretty mediocre and feeds into the trolling. At the end of the day, to each their own but it's pretty established that when one posts in a "PIMP" thread the cards should either be highly valuable or difficult to find (which could mean a less expensive but hard to find card). There's way too much emphasis put on neging the negative people when really its just a bunch of people with garbage collections compensating for their lack of effort.

If you want to post a bunch of MM or FNM cards feel free to visit MTG Salvation or the Reddit MTG sub.

I've just never understood the issue with setting a bar.

Those people are trying to compensate.

I liked your NicFit, I wouldn't say this statement is entirely true though.

[French Alters]

Now I'm kinda scarred of being roasted if I posted this :



Those are cards I got during the french legacy cup. Haven't done much in regards to results but pretty happy with the trades. Everything that can be foil is, either french or english.

As for the expedition lands: beautiful pictures, but not full art, bad framing and bad foiling. If I ever get one I'll either trade or sell it immediately.

[Ace/Homebrew]

There are differering standards for pimpness.

Usually people go by rarity, which means foil asian signed junk. I'm sure there are some solidarity players with foiled/signed almost everything.

Some people, like myself, go by aesthetics, which means BB, old cardface, english, and best art. But that's an uncommon criterion.

That's the 2nd post in the thread.
I was checking the OP to see if any guidelines had ever been set. There aren't any...

Should there be guidelines?
Should there be a separate thread for foil cards? Foreign cards? Old cards? Miscut cards? Maybe a Pimp Sub-Forum instead of a Pimp Thread? The Altered Card thread could probably go in there too.
Or do posters just risk getting flamed?

No one is coming in here just to post their FNM loot from 7 years ago. The entire deck posted was foil, and he chose to go with the FNM Brainstorms. Who gives a shit? Maybe it's not the most expensive or rarest deck possible but it's something he's proud of and wanted to show off. Pat him on the back and get on with your life.

I could also make a Fire and Lightning burn deck, and call that pimp?

The deck was beautiful, but the brainstorms stands out, due to simply being (by definition) the worse foil.

Like, he made a choice with regards to the Duress - Either you like that or you don't (Artwork is insane on those - even better in german ("Zwang")) which means that reasonable. The FNM foil is just poor compared to the mm, which is why you see people complain....

*Also, the biggest problem, is by far the lack of consistency in language. That's appearance 101.

He made a choice with the Brainstorms too. He said that he owns MM foils but specifically went with those because he wanted all the blue cantrips to match with the new border.

I just come for the pretty pictures and mono-trolls.

[thegrinningdemon]

It's probably true that many decks don't get posted here because many people continue to criticize what they don't like about the deck. I mean this guy prefaced his deck with his doubt that anyone would like it. Well at least a few of you proved him wrong. I for one thought the FOWs were really cool.

We have been down this road before.

[bop2]

nonsense

You're a disgrace. What are you even doing here? If you don't like it, leave. Every time i see your nick, it's to complain about something. Am i affected, no, but i'm sure some people are discouraged to post their collections.
