So, here's some background. A few months ago, my friend Soly suggested I play an all-misprint deck. I have an all-misprinted EDH, and I thought that I should build a Legacy deck for the upcoming SCG Madison. I have a LOT of misprints, since I've been collecting them for at least 8-10 years, and I have a lot of playable ones, especially blue ones, so I went with a blue-white control deck. Sdematt helped me design the deck, and I think he did a pretty good job. Remember, this had to be a 75-misprint deck, so that's why I went with Jace Beleren instead of Jace the Mindsculptor and that sort of thing. I went 5-3 with it, beating a lot of top decks. I had a TON of fun and I will definitely be playing a lot more Legacy in the future. Here's what I played:
If you can't see the card's misprinting, it's probably crimped. My misprinted EDH has no crimps in it because I thought that would be too easy, as I have over 6000 crimped cards, but I played some crimps in my Legacy deck because otherwise it would be impossible to field a playable deck.
The decklist:
UW Control
4 Force of Will--Miscut
4 Counterspell--Miscut Ice Age, Spanish Mercadian Masques, Miscut Tempest, blurry Mercadian Masques
4 Brainstorm--two differently shifted-text foil Mercadian Masques, miscut Ice Age, back-printed Mercadian Masques
1 Cryptic Command--full-art promo crimped AND miscut
4 Jace Beleren--miscut LO, miscut M11, miscut JvC, LO with two huge white bars
3 Elspeth, Knight Errant--miscut EvT
4 Swords to Plowshares--miscut 4th, miscut IA, miscut RV, blue-bordered Ice Age
3 Wrath of God--crimped Beta, miscut Revised, smeared 10th
2 Engineered Explosives--crimped foil Fifth Dawn
2 Crucible of Worlds--blotched 10th, blackened Fifth Dawn
1 Decree of Justice--crimped Scourge
2 Snapcaster Mage--one miscut, one ink-blotched
1 Vendilion Clique--twisted foil Morningtide
2 Flooded Strand--crimped Onslaught
3 Polluted Delta--miscut Chinese ON, miscut Portuguese, ON, miscut foil ON
1 Misty Rainforest--miscut
5 island--miscut French 4th, miscut Unhinged foil, miscut Portal 2, miscut 8th (matches the Plains), and blackened Alpha
2 Plains--miscut 8th (matches the Island) and miscut Unhinged foil
1 Karakas--miscut LG

--SIDEBOARD--
2 Circle of Protection: Red--miscut IA and crimped Beta
1 Pithing Needle--10th with massive line through it
1 Oblivion Ring--blackened LO
3 Tormod's Crypt--2 miscut Japanese CH, 1 miscut CH

I don't think so. The cards I have owned have never changed color over the years, and the Swords is very light-printed in general, not just the border. The text is a lot lighter than on a normal one.pp wrote:Question: StP, blueish border? I have a lot of ice age, homelands, fallen empires cards becoming more an more like this :-/
It has smth to do with ageing!? My cards are always in a binder, a dark place.

Blade Splicer. I just am wondering how the miscuts can be so bizarre, yet nearly identical. JasonTha_Gunslinga wrote:I've seen other cards like that from various sets. If they can miscut it in one set, they can do it in others. What card do you have?

Re: Crimped cards
Absolutely Awesome!!!!Tha_Gunslinga wrote:Sorry for the poor photo quality. This is one crimped card from each Magic set ever printed, excluding Championship decks and such things for obvious reasons. I have been collecting crimped cards for around 10 years now and have slightly over 6000, including about a hundred non-Magic crimps. I'm always looking for more, especially Beta crimps, since I have 55% of the Beta set completed.
Thanks a big much for posting this. It is a pain to photograph cards (or scan them) and post them. This is a real addition to this board and this section.
Thanks for sharing.

Hi Tha_Gunslinga,
I'm not sure what crimps you need for your set, but this is what I have kicking around.

I also have a walk but I'm not ready to part with it yet (it's in rough shape anyways): http://imgur.com/a/0foDZ#0
