Well my deck may not stand close to some of decks posted on the previous 40 or so pages, I would like to claim that it is "pimp" so here it is. The general idea is that its enchantment control and can eventually kill with proggy or go EPIC with ideal and set a lock with Form of the Dragon by either taking infinite turns due to Second Chance and Wheel of Sun and Moon or holding off the hordes using Solitary Confinement. clearly the deck needs work, the mana base is not all duals and fetch lands, but, I truly do love the deck. hope you guys like it
note: i mis-scanned hallowed burial its upside-down
He paid $51 for it. Far above the average. Lol. I normally don't bother with SCG as they tend to be *ahem* overpriced, but I checked out their Rectors since you mentoned it and that's about right. So maybe I'll just order one and get it over with. I was hoping to snag a bargain on eBay but it's been months and no luck so probably time to just suck it up. Thanks for the recommendation.
Can't wait to get home and put up the pics of Damia. It isn't complete, but the cards just go really well together (functionally and aesthetically). Has anyone else found a particular combination of colors that they really like because they look good together, not necessarily because they work well together?
Shunma, excited to see your Damia later. I'm working on pimping my Ghave as well, so you've set the bar for total pimp-ness in that deck. It's about 60% foil right now, and I'm getting un-foilables (Earthcraft, Volrath's Stronghold) altered by some of the talented users on here. I'll post it when I'm done.
I need a new pimp project after that, haven't decided on it yet. It's going to have blue in it thought for sure. Just because I want an excuse to search for my favorite islands, which are these http://magiccards.info/in/en/337.html

At long last I can post these. Enjoy Damia and her clone army!
Notice the gold-bordered Wasteland? Lol. I inherited 4 of them from a friend. Might as well use them. And I forgot that I took some of the unhinged basics out of this one. They used to be all unhinged, but I relocated some of them to a standard deck I'm working on.
Aside from the Time Stretch, your deck looks like a blast to play against and with Shunma ;D!. Need to get some moar pimp, but still looking decent ;D!
Time Stretch isn't so bad once you get to know him. If you're lucky, you'll meet him more than once thanks to his wingman Snapcaster Mage!
Haha ;D. That's the problem! It's too good ;D!
Also! I reckommend playing Kederekt Leviathan, sometimes you just need an answer, and that card is just to good. It's always nice to have a board reset avaliable with Tooth and Nail :D. But all in all, looks like a sweet deck
Some European Foils, German being the most common language in my scans. There are some Japanese, Chinese, Korean, English cards that I left in the scan. Everything in there are foiled except the few cards that can't be foiled. All (except 1 Mana Crypt) are excess cards since I only play with Japanese Foils.
Dug out my dinosaur of a scanner (got it in 98), got it running and took some janky scans. Everything's foil cept the things that are marked as non. The foils don't even look foil 77% done. I wonder if the double sleeves neutered the foilyness.
I share your sentiment about not wanting to take my edh deck out of the house. I also play sharuum, and my deck also tops out around 5k.
I like your list.
Cheers! I'd love to see your deck/list. Do you have Alpha/Beta duals? That would be sick and easily push it over 5k. I agree that Sharuum is by far the hardest deck to pimp/complete due to the portal tutors and Mishra's Workshop.
@ Bringing expensive stuff out of the house. It really depends on the community. If its the Local LGS where everybody knows everybody, it's fine. If you are talking about a GP/Pro Tour with a ton of strangers, it is EXTREMELY dangerous. There have been a million snatch and grab cases. Be extremely cautious!
I used to bring this long box of legacy staples out to construct decks on the fly for tournaments. Ie, I'd scout the meta (who was there/who wasnt etc) and then build my deck accordingly. However as my collection grew in value, I started realizing how dangerous it was. Once my legacy collection passed the 10k range, I started being extremely careful and only brought my long box out for quiet testing sessions with a trusted friend.
It also helps to always keep your stuff in the bag and hold on to your bag at all times. Even when you use the washroom, bring your bag along. If your stuff is too heavy to carry to the washroom, its a sign that you cannot properly care for the stuff you are carrying. Just bring less stuff out!
I just posted this in Magic General, but you guys are my guys, so it needs to be here too. Three months and done!
Damn Galspanic, your alters have been getting better, I swear. The matching on most of the cards is soooo seamless. Very impressive deck. What colours do you use? How do you match so well? (This is probably talent, but I'd still like to hear it from you ;).)

Finally got a program to drop the file sizes of my pictures, been wanting to post my decks forever. So here is my Jenara deck all foiled out. Will have to double post since I couldn't get the photos to turn out well with 20 cards/pic.
More decks to come...

...wow...
I will never be able to call anything I own "pimp" any longer... In fact, this makes me just want to stop trying to do anything with my decks because I'll never have anything that even comes close to a single card in this deck... let alone 100 of them.
You win at Magic now and forever and if you really did all of those yourself... I just don't know what to say. I'm speechless.
The irony behind the fact that you extended half art zendikar basics is increasingly amusing to me. Your deck definitely is the deck with the highest pimp factor on here imho. I find alters to be way more esthetically pleasing than foils. Unfortunately, pimp factor seems to equal monetary value around here.
Kaylee: Also nicely done. You have some highly sought after foils in there!!

I like most of the alters, but I'm curious as to the reasoning behind only altering the top half of the older-frame cards.
Consistency. The City of Solitude, Solemn Simulacrum, and Liege of the Tangle actually bother me a lot. I wanted every card to look as similar and unified as possible and doing the text boxes this way means that all the art fades to black at the bottom and has the text bar up top.
The foreign foils in this are really awesome!!

I also have an FBB German Regrowth coming for this deck. It gets more and more devious all the time.
