I have a peasant cube, and I really don't like foils. So my version of pimping my cube out is finding the original printing for each card in my cube. I don't strictly adhere to making sure all cards including in alpha and beta are alpha, for my uses Beta is close enough.
The thing I like about pimping a peasant cube is that you get to play cards that don't make the cut in regular cubes, but have been around forever. Peasant cube is where I got to cast Juzám Djinn for the first time in my 17 years of playing magic. It was a good feeling
Hard to tell from the pics, but the 4 cards I need to get to be fully pimped is Alpha/Beta Counterspell, Savannah Lion, Demonic Tutor, Swords to Plowshares and a p3k Imperial Recruiter. Getting close!
Wow...I never notiticed that flavour text on Jackal Pup. Now I need to get an altar with "Dogs" changed to "Hogs" and the jackal into a Piggy. And the name of the quote's speaker ofcoarse
That flavour text is only on the FNM foil version of Jackal Pup btw.

The only reference I can think of would be from the show Archer.

On the topic of interesting German translations of cubable cards: For those who want to go beyond just running a Wild Nacatl in their cube, there is the option to run an even Wilder Nacatl.
That Incinerate really is amazing. I slightly prefer the Mirage art, but Ice Age promo foil.... *drool*
I agree! It was a tough call, but since both arts are nice, I sided with the foil. I have both, of course. The Ice Age art is a little more nostalgic for me as well, since I started playing around Ice Age.
To each their own, but after seeing the dark Planeswalkers in person, I'm just not a fan. They are certainly cool, but I found them tough to read, so I'd rather spend the money on a pack foil.
I have all the black on black planeswalkers and players complain all the time especially when it comes to planeswalkers with wordy abilities like Ajani Steadfast's +ability. Still, they are extremely pimp and I'm not taking them out of my cube.
That looks sharp. I have a few altered cards that hang onto their borders, and they look pretty sweet. I've heard other artists refer to them as "Eldrazi Frame" alters.

Those are really sweet! I love the Alpha/Beta stuff too; it's what I always try for. I can help you out a little bit on your remaining Peasant A/B needs... Savannah Lions has never had a printing other than Rare in paper

Yeah a number of peasant cube owners play pretty fast and loose with rarities. If it appears on MTGO as an uncommon, then BAM, straight in the paper cube. Not to mention the somewhat hazy rarity system in Arabian Nights (that didn't technically have what they called rares, but it totally did). At this point, you might as well play Library of Alexandria too.
One of 1,100 of those Fastbonds ever made Pretty amazing!
Anyway, after swapping Beta Bolt for a CE one and having Jeskai Ascendancy combo show up big at Worlds, think this is my new top-dollar card at Peasant:
There's a matching Ghitu Encampment a couple feet away, too. Still begrudging the cost of Treetop Villages, though.

Thanks guys I appreciate it! I think they'll most likely be going to someone's (from MTGS) cube.

Thanks again gentlemen
It's my mission this summer to get into art-replacing alters. Need to start practicing.

Legacy Conclave truly is a gorgeous card. Looks like you got a nice clean one too - 'Grats man!
