Something I have received today. Maybe these cards aren't "pimp" because they aren't played, but they are extremely rare and very beautiful in my opinion (I collect foil Japanese angels):

Oh wow, they're amazing O_o
EDIT:
I've really stepped down with getting pimped cards, but i've added these to my collection for my Nekusar deck, its something:
Legacy - Sneak Show, BR Reanimator, Miracles, UW Stoneblade
Premodern - Trix, RecSur, Enchantress, Reanimator, Elves https://www.facebook.com/groups/PremodernUSA/ Modern - Neobrand, Hogaak Vine, Elves
Standard - Mono Red (6-2 and 5-3 in 2 McQ)
Draft - (I wish I had more time for limited...)
Commander - Norin the Wary, Grimgrin, Adun Oakenshield (taking forever to build) (dead format for me)
I would love to pimp out my RG tron deck but i've just stopped trying to pimp out my Kozilek EDH deck, dunno if i should start a different project, and getting foiled Urza lands + all original foil Version of the cards? That would suck.

I really like the twin deck.
I need to take pictures of my R/G Tron deck once the last foil gets here. I'm nowhere near done (still need 7th foil Pyroclasms, FUT foil Groves and TSP foil Chromatic Stars to replace the 10th), but it looks damn good just the way it is.

Hey all... I'm retired, not dead. Check out what I'm doing these days (and beg me to come back if you want):
got to play a sneak and show deck where the entire deck minus the volcanic islands, force of wills and scalding tarn were promos and foils. It was pretty cool since I've never played with duals let alone a deck so expensive
I recently finished my Uril Deck, almost foil. Only 2 cards are not foil. One because is hasn't a foil edition and the other because it is to expensive, so I got a chinese one.
First and foremost, my commander and his maidens:
I'm still looking for an alternative plant token.
The lands he explores:
Keen viewers will notice, that there are 2 Krosan Verge (one foil Italian), which is a fault of me. Some pointed it out an I have changed it to a promo Cathedral of War. I didn't get any duals or fetches, because my budget didn't cut it with those cards.

Because foil my Modern Affinity or Burn deck, would break my wallet I foiled my Modern Silverblack deck.
Modern Silverblack is just Modern without Rare cards.
I made a Sligh deck or Red Deck Wins. The sideboard is frequently changed to the local meta (I will post the other cards):

It may not be on par with the finest this thread has had to offer, but I finally completed the long time project of foiling out UR Twin except for a few sideboard cards that I may want such as a second Keranos, God of Storms and maybe a Cavern of Souls in the main. But for now I'm happy with it until I find more exclusive foils to replace something with! The Breeding Pool in the picture is supposed to be a Stomping Ground however which is on the way. I am also in the middle of foiling out ANT Storm in legacy, should get that project finished next month I hope so I'll make sure to get some pictures of that as well when I do!
The most pimp single cards I've ever seen belong to a friend of mine. They're sculptures made by stacking several copies of a card together and then carving out the features of the image to various depths. He uses them as Commanders.
That's nice. Some of the borders seem to have either wear or distortion from the sleeve, making them look more rounded in the photo.
I've been travelling quite a bit lately, so every time I get home I have pile of letters waiting. It's almost like christmas.
I'm missing 6 Expedition fetches, 1 Verdant, 2 Mire and 3 Foothills. I also have 'few' shocks and battle lands on top of that.
The MM15 foils are for a foil set, which is missing 22 cards, most of which are 1-2$ bulk foils rares. The bigger items missing still are Cryptic, Confidant and Bitterblossom, so almost there. In the pics there are two seperate Kiki-Jiki's, as I had not marked the first purchase on my spreadsheet and bought a second one asap as the prices started going up and I thought I still need it. At least I got some cool trade stock at relatively decent price and if the deck does well next weekend on PT, I will be pretty happy.
I also love the Judge Counterspell on the first pic and the card is getting relatively hard to find in nm condition. MCM was at one point down to just 5 nm copies, but lot more have turned up since last spring. The strangest thing is that there always seems to be at least three playsets of played versions of this around (currently 23 less than nm copies on MCM), so the sold prices reflect that. I think I still need one more copy.
In the pics are also my preorders, so people who visit the Market street Cafe can check if I have actually put my money where my mouth is. I propably need to mention that MCM presales are pretty cutthroat environment for stores and lot of the air TCG has is missing, so Chandra's were under 6 euros and the single Crush of Tentacles was 0.5 euros. So far I'm pretty happy. I 'lost' money on one Eldrazi Displacer but got cheap Darkwellers, World Breakers and the Oaths were 0.1-0.2 euros each, so not even a chance of loosing money. On the Chandra's I know I might loose few euros if the card does not see any play, but if it breaks out, I'll be very happy to have it. I also have few foils coming in, as the private sellers race towards the bottom, but I always try to avoid preordering foils, unless I have a deck for them.
As for the preorders I should have bought Reality Smasher would have been a decent buy at one euro and Thought-Knot Seer at three euros, but both had already started moving up when I actuallly had the chance to buy my cards, so I'll just be happy I didn't buy too many bad cards at inflated prices.
As someone who only collects bits and pieces of Magic that I find personally captivating I admit that I have no truly pimp cards, except for my playset of Dryad Arbor - the one with art from the From The Vault Series. They are stunningly beautiful. I have yet to build a proper deck to showcase them off, but they are amoung the favorite cards I have so far collected.

Those are getting hard to find...
Sorry for the old pic, I've since gotten the tenth one, so I have 9 Judge Bolts without cutlines and the one with.
Anyway, nice deck Rizso, and while I love the old Bolts, it seems that you have there three alpha and one beta, but I might just be seeing things.
