Do people actually like Black on black planeswalkers?
I love their renders and with good lighting they are pretty cool, but through a sleeve and in person they are really hard to read... In my experience it actually led to these cards being drafted less, because it was a hassle to read them. ( when i put in nonblack versions their play skyrocketed)
Splintertwin looks good with MM15 foiling. Its kind of a bright card so the darker foiling looks good on it imo.
I only have one of the SDCC planes walkers Ajani, Caller of the Pride. I don't think its necessarily a great card but still very playable in the decks that want it. I do want the 2013 SDCC Chandra because it looks so good. I can completely understand not liking them, they are a bit unnecessary.
I have the Nissa, Worldwaker one. I don't really like the style tbh. The text is not white enough imo, and that makes the card very hard to read if you are drafting at nighttime.
So I recently got Serendib Efreet because I still think it's one of blue's better creatures (and I refuse to play True-Name Nemesis because it is the nemesis of elegant game design:). I thought it would be cool and nostalgic to have the Revised "green" border but now that I look at it in my cube...it's going to be confusing as all hell isn't it? I used to play back then and it still weirds me out seeing it in a pack. I havne't played with it yet but plan on introducing some new people to cube who aren't too familiar with the format (and may not have played before the 2010s in some cases)--is it just not worth it?
I have the green one because it's the only copy I own right now and it's definitely confusing. One of my friends, who has been playing for a long time and is familiar with both the card and the misprint, was playing UW in a draft and had a brain fart and skipped over Efreet because of the border.
Some day I'll replace it, but I'm not super worried about it right now.
How are people feeling about the four options for Path to Exile these days? I currently run a foil from Modern Masters, but I'm leaning toward the FNM promo because it's the most literal one.

Can you name all of the creature types with at least 20 cards? Try my Sporcle Quiz! Last Updated: 6/29/20 (Core Set 2021).
Guay promo > VVK > Conflux > FNM Promo for me. Guay promo is heads and tails above the rest. The VVK one would be closer if it was available in foil, but still end up in second place.
Since I started playing magic I have had my elf deck. It is still technically the same deck as when I first started playing, it's just slowly changed over the last decade. Currently the entire thing is foiled except for the Concordant Crossroads (because they can't be foiled). So I'm not sure what to do with the cards. Should I get English Legends and be done with it, or should I get a playset of chronicles ones and alter them. I don't know how much I like the idea of having only one altered card in the deck.

Legends is pretty pimp in my opinion, I prefer my Legends Force Spike and Sylvan Library to the available foils of them. Old border is also a plus, and I'm usually not a fan of alters.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder though, so get whatever you personally think is cooler.
Legends cards have such a huge nostalgia value for me (they were sort of the cards everybody drooled over when I was a kid) so I have a soft spot for them. I would certainly go with that.
OG Mom for sure. I love that new Terese Nielsen artwork, though. I'm really sad that's on Mother of Runes and not some other awesome creature. My preferred Mother of Runes would be an old bordered Urza's Legacy pack foil.

I also like the original art on Ultimate Price more. I like the new flavor text more, though.

One altered card in an otherwise unaltered deck isn't ideal.

Pack foil. The promo art is OK but I much prefer the original in this case (and most, really).

Mirrodin foil or Modern Masters foil?
