Personally, I would much rather obtain an alter than I would a foil. There isnt anything all that interesting about a foil other than it costs more. Alters are cool to see and get done.
I still try to get foils but I think I might be shifting more towards alters for pimping.

I have officially moved to MTGNexus. I just wanted to let people know as my response time to salvation decks being bumped is very hit or miss.

Although I certainly enjoy altered cards, I'm a big fan of shiny things. Foils are often very pretty versus the nonfoils, too.
At the end of the day, though, just being shiny is enough for me. I'm a simple person.
Still, Eldrazi Monument, Akroma's Memorial, Swiftfoot Boots... so many foils that are especially pretty versus nonfoils.
In case any of you doubted my genius, today I once again proved that I am the smartest person in the world. My kids play Slug Bug all the goddamn time when we are in the car. It's heated and contentious every single time and usually ends with me yelling at them to stop fighting in the back seat. Normally the point system works like this:
Slug Bug = 1
PT Cruiser, I'm no loser = 1
Slam Van = 5.
But today, I added Pig Car to the mix for 2 points. Pig Car or course = Police car.
So, now when I am driving around I have the most keen eyed kids on a constant look out for hidden cops and speed traps. In 20 miles of driving so far they picked out 3 of them hiding!

It's genius until the first time they yell out at the top of their lungs "I SEE A PIG CAR!!!!" with your windows rolled down.
So, I'm working on an article about how to mulligan in EDH, and I need a decklist to draw sample hands from. I need something that has "the basics," i.e. ramp, removal, aggression, etc... and is easy for a relatively uninformed reader to grasp (no complex combos for example). I was thinking of a Rafiq of the Many list, but does anyone know a good "goodstuff" list around here I could use? I was thinking of drawing from ISB's Jenara, actually...

You should do 99 mountain ashling first off to make your readers scratch their heads. And play it off as if its not 99 land ashling and your confused as to why you are drawing so many lands.....

New frame black border Regrowth and Winds of Rath?! Who cares about Sun Titan? The other cards are where it is *at* with this Duel Deck. The only way it could be better was if the Regrowth also had new art.

Woah. Ok. I was on the fence about if I was going to pick this up, but not anymore. Needs dat Winds of Rath! I just hope they keep the old art...which seems unlikely.

I'm 95% sure it doesn't have any new art. I think they already showed all of the new art and nothing new was shown for Winds of Rath.
I actually prefer the promo to the Greek art. The new art isn't bad per say, but for me it just doesn't fit what Sun Titan does. Both the OG art and the promo art look more like a blazing sun that never sets.
In a year I'll pick one up off the "for sale" rack at the LGS for 10-12 dollars.
In my experience it's usually get it when it comes for MSRP, or don't get it and never get it because it jumps up to like $50 or something a year later.
As for the Titan art: Original art isn't bad for me, but I like this new art the most. Promo art is just horrible lol.
I certainly am interested in Korean foils. I know many people who are. It's a relatively small print run for any given set and it looks pretty.
I still try to get foils but I think I might be shifting more towards alters for pimping.

It's the original art or nothing for me, too. It's probably gonna go straight into my trade binder.
