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

[mikekelley]

I've seen this thread on a few vintage forums, so why not here? And it's friday, and i'm waiting to go out, and I'm bored beyond belief. So here we are: Post your deck/other decks that you've seen that are 'pimped' (god, i hate that word)

edit: need new pics

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.

I am like you.

If I could have anything, I'd get rid of those janky white bordered Serendibs for some Arabian Nights ones. Same with the Psi Blasts, Alpha/Beta all the way.

Pimping cards unless you have them all is generally a complete waste of money. You could be buying other cards you need with the money you used to get Beta or foil versions of cards you already do have.

[The Rack]

I just boght an entire Slide Rifter deck with the stuff from chinese Loxodon Heirarch, to signed alt art Eternal Witness, along with German FOil Lightning Rift and DCI Slides. Foil Life From the Loam with Chinese cycling lands. 4 Japanese Solidarity Confinement and DCI Wall of Blossoms. I'm actually trhinking about getting German Basic lands.

Oh come on, lighten up. You honestly want to look at Iff-Biff efreet with a white border?

Style is so clutch.

[Anarky87]

I'm really more of a BB border/original art kind of person. Foil is fine and all, and sometimes I eventually foil some decks out, but mostly if I can get the deck entirely BB'd, I'm content.

This is usually my stance as well. I don't mind if the foils are easy to obtain, but I'm not going to go out of my way and drop a ton of cash for cards I essentially already own.

I literally have a ton of German Plains and Mountains, as well alot of other German basic land I got for about $2.

[The Rack]

Don't you know that decks with foils and signed stuff plays better? I thought that was a rule of Magic...

[mikekelley]

That too. Unless the deck is all foil, the hell with foil. It is kinda cheeseball.

You should buy summer magic serendib efreets.

So you wanna be a playa
But yo cards ain't tech
You gotta hit me up
To get a pimped out deck.

[iOWN]

My green stompy deck has some nice stuff (2 Foil CotV, 2 Signed CotV, a couple of Arabian Erhnam Djinns, several other foils) but I haven't really finished anything.

I recently won this on eBay*... Japanese Foil, signed, altered, and painted, but I'm not sure what to do with it yet. Pimped Eternal Garden, most likely.

Oh yeah, all of my basics are Alpha, although I really have been wanting to replace some with Guru (the art is absolutely amazing).

*I suck at ebay -- setting the snipe up twice which raised the price by 13.00 dollars.

I was gonna outbid you on that, but when it jumped to over 30 I said forget it.

I personally would not play with an Ifh-Biff Efreet if you held a gun to my head. However, I personally would not care in the slightest if it was white-bordered, black-bordered, green-bordered, blue-bordered, whatever. 2GG 3/3 fliers do not impress me.

[The Rack]

My Fluctuator deck is currently all pimped out. (costed about 20 bucks:P). Signed Fluctuators along with artist proof Sandbar Merfolk and everything else Foil. A cheesy but pimped deck.

He was referring to how the Revised Serendib Efreet has Ifh Biff Efreet's artwork.

That...isn't an ifh-biff efreet.

I constantly see you bidding on the same stuff as me on ebay. You have a much higher spending limit than me, however.

[kirdape3]

I personally like spending oh, $15 for a Revised Serendib Efreet playset rather than say $150.

Color me an idiot otherwise, but I could care less. That extra $135 is a Library of Alexandria for Christ's sake.
