Title: Bling now or later?
Post by: redwolv on April 21, 2016, 08:11:03 PM
So I am working on upgrading My current commander deck. I know that eventually I will want to foil/foreign everycard in the deck. Should i focus on getting all the upgrades, or getting less of them but grabing some foils for cards I know i will be keeping. (I can only do one atm cause of budget constrants)

Upgrades first. Foil out what you have later. Simply because function > looks.

You can have a full foil deck but if you're running guildgates and {Shock} over {Lightning Bolt} I'm not going to be impressed.

Actually that would be impressive but you get my point.

I know it's hard to stay away from the bling but you must until the deck is done my friend

For some people the bling impression is indeed more important than the win impression.

Fair enough, I just saw a shiny deal at my lgs and could not decide on my own. (Namely a foil {sylvan library} for $70)

Good price. Ever think about selling blood and or sperm? Sometimes things have to be done for foils

Both. If you need a card and you can find a foil 2 birds one stone.

I donate blood, and selling my sperm is something I have never even thought of, I mean really, who would want to buy my sperm.

See that was what I was thinking, but then it will be awhile before I can get some other parts like sensi's top. {Liliana vess}(so upset I traded mine back when she was around $70)
