Haven't posted here in a while... I scanned my EDH today: http://imgur.com/a/5e9Uc#0

Nice deck. I have never seen that EDH general.

Hua Tuo, Honored Physician

He's like a green Volrath's Stronghold!

I do not own the card, but I've seen it floating around my LGS and plan to get it if it's still there. Anyway, it's a signed, foil, original Lorwyn Garruk Wildspeaker.

That EDH General is Hua Tuo, Honored Physician, a legendary and mythological doctor in the 3 Kindgoms era as it's name depict, while the other guy in the picture is Guan Yu, Sainted Warrior.

most pimped deck i have ever seen was a 50% promo card deck for EDH, this had sakura tribe elders form an FNM, box promos, tons of stuff.
another pimed deck was a vintage deck that foiled everything but things that could not be foiled, such as moxen. as well as a legacy deck with foil JTMS playset that is signed.
the most pimed deck i have is probably my EDH mimeo one, i tuned it a lot, not perfect and no foils, but pretty good despite not using removal.

My current EDH:

^ WOW!!!!!! I'd be scared to carry a deck that expensive. I get nervous with my foiled out Niv-Mizzet deck prolly worth ~$2500 and only a couple of jap foils in it.

Can you use that Island since it has blak mana symbol on it? LOL?!?

Not as an Island. Cards have to be played as whatever the card name declares it to be.

201.1. The name of a card is printed on its upper left corner.
201.2. Two objects have the same name if the English versions of their names are identical.

Wizards has answered this question a few times. If a card is misprinted with the wrong art or border you play it as whatever the printed card name is. The card name and text on that card is Dark Ritual and at an official event it would have to be played as such.

For casual of course anything goes, you could play it as a Black Lotus as long as everyone is agreed.

That Skyshroud Claim is awesome!

Probably my favorite in that deck... and that's saying a lot!

How do you get test prints like that Wrath of God/City of Brass? How much are they worth?

Quote from ToshiUmezawa

Wow, where'd you get the dark ritual island? I was convinced that only 1-2 exist

There are at least a few dozen and probably more. I have personally laid eyes on 8 or 9.

There are currently several on eBay for $1k-2k. That is on the high end but not unheard of. I got mine for a few hundred.

Ladies and gentlemen, I have finally completed my collection of Unlimited.
Now just 15 cards left for Beta and 19 for Alpha; wish me luck!

Man, I am *so* jealous of that. I would love to have a set like that, unfortunately Revised is all my income bracket will allow me to do, and even that much only because I stumbled upon a bunch of duals in a bulk bag.

Nice work! Hope you can finish those Alpha/Beta sets soon!

Great job Savage Dream Lord! The old sets are the hardest but the most beautiful!

Hey SavageDreamLord,

Awesome job - congrats!!!

Unlimited was the set I started Magic with, and as such it is still my favorite set ever. I had a complete set I assembled from ripping boosters back in '93 that I sold right before Ice Ages came out. Years later I missed it, so I began to rebuild it. It's now done in mint - 152 of the cards are graded, in fact. I have several cards I'd like to upgrade, but overall it's finished :D.

As for Alpha and Beta? I never really set out to make sets of either, but if I wanted to I'm 11 cards short on Alpha and 4 cards short on Beta. Of course, since 9 of those 15 cards are power, it might be a while before I ever get them (lol).

Take it easy,
Jared

Pimp cards I own?

2 Chains, set of beta Llanowars and Bolts, An (Unfortunately)altered Abyss then a Legend Sylvan Library.

Here's my fully foiled as pimp as I can afford (without BB V. Islands, Timetwister, Forcefield, etc) Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind EDH deck. That and I just cannot get my hands on a foil Command Tower!!! It is SO much fun to play!!!!

Was it a poorly done alter?

No the alter is fine, the only bad part is that it ruined the value on such a rare card.
