For a German Forest, I think I gotta go with this guy

hue hue hue indeed
I would if I could D:

I'll eventually pick up another, more-German-y forest, I just like the art on the Korea forest best at the moment.
Maybe I'll just wind up with German copies of these

Maaaah man! I have a copy of that Odyssey if you want. It was part of last year's SS from Quasim0ff, but I only really use one or two of those Forests at a time and it's currently just sitting lonely in a binder. It's only one copy, but I'd much rather see it fly free at a tournament if it can.

Why are Italian Pyroblasts from IA so hard to source? I mean, it'll probably be reprinted in EMA in Japanese so I'll own those (if, soon). But for now I'm on the hunt for the IA ones... these are harder to find than JPN Portal 1 Pyroclasm...

Yeah I'd be interested, one of the more beautiful forests printed. I'll shoot you a PM.

I can buy you some on MKM if you send me those Japanese Portal 1 Pyroclasms you have so many of ;)

Yes, that deck is more beautiful than a lot of recent stuff that comes in a non-fantasy frame, with forgettable art and wrapped like a corrugated metal due to low-quality foiling.
The black cards are especially nice due to the black borders, but otherwise I'm kinda not thrilled with the BBs, as they tend to suffer with chips and w/e else. In my Magic world there'd be none of the alternate borders, frames and such, and there'd be far more cards with crappy wording (even though maybe not exactly Beta-like kind of 1993 Sumerian.)

PS: With black it's more than obvious that 93/94 needs to expand to 95. The missing Necro is missing. :-)

I know that feel 😆

Mini1337s is cooler tho

Wow, how could I forget about Ihsan and Lake!? Very, very nice deck! It's a shame that there can't be similarly powerful monocolor pile built in non-black. Or at least I doubt that it's possible, as Necro is too much of a nonsense to be matched by anything else.
Lovely factories.

Hey there folks,

Regarding the language topic from some pages ago that I've just read: I personally like my cards in English only, for consistency and legibility issues. I like to know what my cards are exactly doing

Today in my stupid little blog, a Vintage deck that plays with dead things. No, is not Dredge!





And here's the sideboard:

Note to self: never have Adam Rex sign anything. Good god, that signature is worse than the Stoneforge Mystic guy.

Add peter mohrbacher to that list too.

We should have a sticky thread that maintains artists you do not want to sign your cards.

And anyone who, by default, includes the date or location of when/where you got it signed.

But what if you can read and understand the foreign language in which your deck is written?

PART 1 OF 2 (too many images!!!)

Promised I would make a post when I finished getting in my FBB. Warning 56k or whatever. Culmination of about 2 years of effort. Every card that can be Japanese is, everything else is either Italian or the most expensive printing of that card (namely the Karakas and Moat). I am not a fan of foils, so even if I could afford them I wouldn't be playing them. I doubt I'll ever be upgrading to Beta duals (at least, not any time soon) so I guess this deck is just about finished (save for the Spares pile being constantly in development as new cards get introduced). Hardest card to find: Pyroclasm. I currently have 2 Italian Pyroblasts coming in the mail, though if they get reprinted in EMA they will be Japanese BB in a heartbeat. As for Japanese FoWs, I'll own a set out of principle but I love my burning man too much so I will still be slinging the Alliances art.

Sorry for the blurry sleeves. Everything is triple sleeved (damn Inked sleeves and their printing method).

Maindeck:









I like the art of the KTK Strands better. Sue me. As for my basics, the Venice art is extra flavorful since the anime that my sleeves and alter show takes place in an alternate version of Venice, which is double flavor for the Italian language stuff. Also, I think Gurus are ugly as fuck so I'm not spending money on those, and Summer would ruin the BB nature of everything as well as not having as appealing art.

Sideboard:




Spares (here are cards I can swap out to make just about any good build of Miracles. Mentor (w/ or w/o Daze); 3 or 4 Ponder; Partial Legends (though I don't like the Legends build all that much since seeing 2 Karakas'es over the course of a game is really awkward and a lot of draws feel clunky--I'm guessing Joe felt the same way since he's now running some number of Ponders). Helm x RIP combo is jank shit so the eponymous card is absent, and I am against playing a Mountain in my 75 since 1) in G1 drawing a Mountain is ultimate feel bad and 2) we shouldn't be relying heavily on red cards post-board, at least not to the point where we would ever bring in all 6 or however many red cards we have and thus need access to red 100% of the time.):

PART 2 OF 2




Yes, those are spare basics. The backwards card showcasing the custom sleeves that everything is sleeved in is a Revised Tropical Island. One day I'll own a second Trop so I can play Bant Countertop for fun and jam my most favorite Planeswalker of all time: Kiora (both versions). The loose Entreats are just in case someone calls a judge on me in a tournament for my alters even though it's obvious what the cards are but some people will be jerks. Monk tokens are supposedly in the mail so I will be sleeving them behind the 4/4 Angelbeats.

I also have a 3rd Jace but he's currently sleeved up in my Japanese JvC duel deck.

Well, there you have it.

As an added bonus, here's my second project. Again, sorry for the blurry sleeves, and extra apologies for those silly black and white proxies. Everything except for the Karakas and 2 Mox Diamonds is in the mail so I should have the maindeck finished by the summer. The SB is a work in progress and will likely not be finished for a while. I won't go as crazy on the spares for this deck like with Miracles, however.

I've never been so offended by such a pretty pair of decks. Great job!
