How Pimp/Ghetto are you? Version 3

[Kowal]

These are always fun for the first ten or fifteen posts.  It's been about six months since the last one, so it's time for an update.  I've not been pimping as hard as I could be, so my list should coax others to post some sexy decks.


Ninja Mask

4x Survival of the Fittest (2x Japanese, 2x Korean)
4x Illusionary Mask (unl )
4x Volrath's Shapeshifter (one asian, looking for help here)

4x Phyrexian Dreadnought (desperately looking for Japanese ones)
3x Quirion Ranger (two korean, one french.  the french one can't attack)
3x Birds of Paradise (one foil 7th, one signed portuguese bb, and one signed german bb)
1x Phage the Untouchable (pimpest Phage ever; Samite Healer found it for me, S-Chinese foil, looks so hot)
1x Squee, Goblin Nabob (Japanese)
1x Gigapede (Japanese)
1x Psychatog (Foil, looking for Japanese replacement)

4x Force of Will (signed)
4x Duress (3 korean, one chinese)
4x Brainstorm (all Japanese)
1x Ancestral Recall (signed)
1x Time Walk (unl)

1x Black Lotus (unl)
1x Mox Sapphire (proxied, ouch)
1x Mox Jet (unl)
1x Mox Emerald (unl)
4x Wooded Foothills (one foil, one asian, two mundane)
2x Windswept Heath (one foil, one mundane)
2x Forest (one APAC Japan, one APAC Korea)
4x Bayou (two mangrovensumpf in bb, one french bb, and one ugly ass revised)
4x Tropical Island (one beta, one unl, one french bb, and one italian bb)

The sideboard changes too often to be pimped out, but it's usually 90% foil at any given moment.  Right now it has signed artist proof root mazes, a pair of gilded drakes (one in korean) and some foil naturalizes/xantid swarms.

[MuzzonoAmi]

I try to make my decks as ghetto as possible, as I hate foils alot. Foreign BB is awesome for me, though.

I am t3h foil h8ter too, but I'm completely in love with non-foil Asian BB cards. My Keeper isn't really all that pimp since the power is UL, but then again: it IS all NM/M.

Cards in italics denote work in progress: I want to change these.
- Gorilla Shamans need to be signed
- R&R's need to be Asian BB
- Stifles need to be Asian BB
- U. Seas and Tundras's need to be German BB

Then I'll be finished. Like I said, I hate foils, and there's no way in hell that's I'll ever even consider buying Beta power.

Obviously I still have a way to go, but there it is as it stands right now. I need another foil Anger, I might try to foil some of my SB, maybe find a foreign LED, and maybe upgrade some of the duals and the Sol Ring at some point. I need to purchase/win a Mox Sapphire too .

[Jacob Orlove]

Which is considered more pimp, Alpha/Beta basics or Unglued basics?

It goes something like this:
A/B < Unglued < Guru < super hot anime basic lands

Other than those, my deck has 4x foil wastes and 4x foil chalices, ugly BB factories (spring and foreign 4th), AQ strip mine (no tower), and Drops of Honey. Oh, and my Emerald is Beta. I think that's about it; who pimps out cards that only go in one deck?  :D

[Zherbus]

I went with Unglued, because they stand out the most. Being pimp is about being flashy enough to stand out, right?

[waSP]

Who plays with power! (oh right me, kinda)

4 Taiga (Revised baby, yeah!)
4 Treetop Village (Foil as can be)
4 Wasteland (DCI Foil)
4 Wooded Foothills (Foil)

SB:
3 Blue Elemental Blast
3 Tormod's Crypt (Dark)

3 Chalice of the Void

Alpha is the bomb and the most pimp in my opinion.  1100 rares in print if they survived over these 10 years.  To have the complete set of Alpha that I have I feel blessed.  I have a love hate thing with foils.  I had many in my TNT deck which is definetly more pimped that this, hell my keeper would be more pimped than this.

My dick is long and pimped out

As a result all my decks are white boardered, english and unsigned.

 :lol:
Sorry

[ctthespian]

Unless your deck is so pimped with alpha and beta goodness that there is nothing to stand out casue it's all pimped.

[Ric_Flair]

Aghast as all of you will be to learn this, but I GO OUT OF MY WAY to get rid of pimp cards.  I really couldn't care less if they were white bordered English ones or Asian Black Bordered, signed Foils.  I figure that trading this way allows me to get stuff I could never get otherwise.

My Beta Ancestral, though is quite the tempetress.

 :lol:
Sorry

Dammit Ray- I just saw this topic, and came in here to say something along the same lines, but noticed you beat me to the punch.    

Oh well

[CF]

Since the last post on this topic (where I just listed all the cards I have pimped for various decks) I have aquired the following:

2 Foil Spoils of the Vault (for Mask)
2 S. Chinese foil Spoils of the Vault (for Mask)
2 S. Chinese foil Shadowmage Infiltrator (for Mask or aggro-control or control)
1 S. Japanese foil Shadowmage Infiltrator (same)
1 S. Chinese foil Windswept Heath (for highlander or tnt or sligh)
1 S. Chinese foil Flooded Strands (for highlander)
1 S. Chinese foil Wooded Foothills (for anything with blue)
1 S. Chinese foil Stifle (for anything with blue)

I also have a couple of foils for an affinity deck which is actually quite fun in t1, but the new artifacts are too ugly to ever be considered pimp.

I have:
0 foils and 0 beta and 0 signed cards.
(I used to have a NM- Beta Mask, but I hated it and traded it for an UNL Mask + UNL Berserk)

My 4 Drains, 1 Moat and 3 Nether Voids are all Italian. My P9 is all UNL. My 40 duals are revised. My Necropotence is 5th. My Mishra´s Factories are 4th. A lot of my cards are QUITE played.

The only cards in my collection that look remotely pimp are 1 AN Blood Moon, 1 FBB Land Tax, 1 Asian Squee and 1 AQ and 1 FBB Strip Mine.

I´m not pimp. Because of this, I have all these cards, otherwise I would have had a lot less.

Ghetto = Smart

[leviat]

The only cards in my collection that look remotely pimp are 1 AN Blood Moon, 1 FBB Land Tax, 1 Asian Squee and 1 AQ and 1 FBB Strip Mine.

AN Blood Moon? Antiquties Blood Moon? That's beyond pimp and much closer to impossible seeing as Blood Moon didn't come out until Dark.

As for my pimp stuff, I have a lot of it. It's never helped me win a tournament though

[Bram]

AN Blood Moon? Antiquties Blood Moon?

Nah, that's an Arabian Nights Blood Moon. Otherwise, it would have been AQ

[BurningIce]

4 Ground Seal (1 foil)
3 Troll Acetic (1 foil)
2 Naturalize (foil)
1 Ground Seal (signed artist's proof)

Five Ground Seals?  I know it's a good SB card, but still =)

[Kowal]

I will use something Dave Lawrence said to explain why "ghetto=smart" is a false statement.

"Though a fat woman can still bring one to orgasm, would you not enjoy a sexual experience with someone much thinner and more attractive more than one with a large lady?  The appearance is important to the overall experience.  I'm done making love to fat women."

And at that point, he flashed his new beta sol ring and beta demonic tutor, and went on his way at Cape Cod.

Don't sex up nasty chicks.  Play with beta cards.

[MuzzonoAmi]

What's with the 8th Edition Cities? The art on those things is horrible as it is, let alone the bad cardface. Just my opinion, of course.

[kl0wn]

I will use something Dave Lawrence said to explain why "ghetto=smart" is a false statement.

"Though a fat woman can still bring one to orgasm, would you not enjoy a sexual experience with someone much thinner and more attractive more than one with a large lady?  The appearance is important to the overall experience.  I'm done making love to fat women."

And at that point, he flashed his new beta sol ring and beta demonic tutor, and went on his way at Cape Cod.

Don't sex up nasty chicks.  Play with beta cards.

Whilst it may be fun to hook up with attractive females, there are many advantages to hooking up with those who are not very attractive and thusly have mild complexes about their desireability.

The most important aspect, which I will address here, is that hooking up with unattractive females requires little to no effort. This leaves you much more free time to do things like play Magic and what have you while you still get sexual fulfillment. Granted, you may feel dirty and hate yourself afterwards, but you eventually get used to the feeling.

As far as Magical cards are concerned, going ghetto requires very little effort, which leaves you much more free time to hook up with low-maintenence females and whatnot while you still get to play with your Magical cards. Furthermore, usually the low-maintenence females don't freak out when they find out about your dirty little secret.

It's totally worth it to be able to order booty like a pizza.

Don't feel like typing up a list of cards. Let's suffice to say I have most cards Alpha/Beta, or asian/foiled if they can't be found from old sets. I'll make an exception on Brainstorm though: IA pic is still the coolest ever imo, so I'll keep playing with plain mundane english ones.
