Post by: Sparkle Ninja on March 13, 2014, 11:31:45 PM

Either that or my foil Emrakual

The fact that I finally have 2 revised shivan dragons makes me quite happy.

This or my 2 Arabian nights Sorceress Queen

When I was a youth, these were so much and no one ever wanted to trade it without taking my whole binder

I still look at my friends Juzaam Djinn with incredible envy still

My most expensive card is either {Wooded Foothills} or {Arid Mesa}, both of which are in my {Uril, the Miststalker} deck. I should probably offload the Mesa while it's still worth a lot.

Man I am a collector through and through.  I love my huge collection of lands.  Everything from my FtV Realms, full art Zendikar lands, tons of foil lands, fetch lands, and tons of so many other lands.

I also loved when they came out with the Swords of .... I don't have any foil but I have a playset of {sword of body and mind} and then at least singles of every other Sword of.

My newest collection I have been working on is getting Legacy staples and I am working on cards like {Tarmogoyf}, {Dark Confidant, {Force of Will}, {Jace the Mind Sculptor}, and so on.  I already have a decent amount of these staples like 3 {wasteland}, 3 foil {noble hierarch}, 3 {Lilliana of the veil}, and so much more.

But honestly my biggest pride is my unique decks for casual play.  I keep 20+ decks completely sleeved and full of great synergy cards and blinged out either with full art Zendikars or foil basic lands and of course all of the good rare lands like duals, fetches, man lands, utility lands, etc.

I am excited to have the new artwork on him.  I am going to make a modern mono black with {phyrexian obliterator} that's all I know.  Working in a legacy BUG deck with him too.  I mostly play casual but I like deck building for the fun of deck building
