Pack foil pretty much always wins, if you're just gonna buy one online, but if a Judge version shows up at a local shop or in a friend's binder I'd take that as a sign from the gods and use that version
I got a Judge Promo of Deranged Hermit for rather cheap recently. Thought that I should better pick it up now, since I don't see the price going anywhere but up in the future. Now I have the original (nonfoil) and the JP and was wondering which one I should put into my cube.
I just recently bought a Deranged Hermit very cheap because it had been written on. It says, "I kill you! Die Die Die" in sharpie and I found it kind of funny, so there you go. It's in my cube now.
This! The original art was soooo bad. The first redo looks really cool. Not sure why the made a third art for it. Maybe because the Argyle elf doesn't look dynamic enough for a haste creature? Even so, it looks much cooler than the new Swanland elf, imo.
I just will never sleeve up a Raymond Swanland card when there's another option available
Is it something against the guy, or just a dislike of his art? I just went through and found I liked Arid Mesa, Rescue from the Underworld, Temple of Deceit, Wastes, and Watery Grave all just fine. Lots of his creatures have the scaly angular look, and he always seems to have some vague bright spot of light. See Nyxathid, Vengevine, and Wurmcoil.

BBE: Argyle's art is the best one, but the only foil version of it that exists is unusable because of the big ugly FNM stamp. EMA art is also nice, but has the ugly new frame. So pack foil is the only option here. Art isn't the greatest, but it gets many bonus points for being the original.

Appreciate the reply, but C13 reprint definitely isn't an option. Just the two Portal versions
