Dragon collection

Post by hunterjwizard » Sun Feb 09, 2014 12:58 am

Hey folks, not entirely sure where to post but here goes. I have been attempting to collect every single printed, legal, version of every singe dragon in the game. I'm doing fairly well, but I was wondering if I could get some help with my list.

In particular, at the moment I am trying to decide if the Japanese version of the Nalathni Dragon counts as separate from the English version. Both were apparently part of a special redemption program, but I cannot tell if it counts as two separate cards by my criteria.

My criteria and reasoning is as follows:
*Only tournament-legal cards(no interest in "world champion" or "Collectors edition" cards)
*Nationality is not important(WAAAAY too much effort to get one card in each language it was printed in, though I do go out of my way to put foreign-language cards in when I can, just don't count that as a different printing).
*Every time a card was printed, I count it(So each edition, reprint, time it was included in a new set, etc).
*Pre-release Stamped/Release Party cards are counted seperately from regular set cards
*Only collecting dragons and drakes(I think I'd go insane if I tried to also get every single printing of every single card that had a picture of a dragon, refereed to a dragon, or was somehow related to dragons. Not that I'm terribly attached to my sanity...)
*DON'T make the Shichifukujin Dragon joke at me(I've heard it too many times to be funny anymore.)

I'll post my entire list next.

I'd say get both Nalathni Dragons because they are from different "sets".
English version was a promotional release for DragonCon (and then some extra in a magazine when people complained about not being able to get one). It has a DragonCon expansion symbol.
Japanese version was a couple years later as part of a (Mirage I think) redemption program, and doesn't have an expansion symbol.

Well, that clears that one up quite clearly, thank you very much!!

Hey so the Nalathni wasn't printed in any other cardset, that means somebody selling an Japanese-language version will be selling the japanese redemption one, right? That will certainly make finding it a crapload easier. Was starting to think I'd just have to break down and start cold-calling cardshops in Tokyo and hope somebody spoke enough english to communicate with me in any kind of meaningful way :P

Found these missing from your list:

Broodmate Dragon - Retailer promo
Darigaaz, the Igniter - Phyrexia vs. the Coalition Duel Decks
Eternal Dragon - Commander 2013
Prossh, Skyraider of Kher - Commander 2013
Rorxi Bladewing - Planechase 2009 edition
Shivan Dragon - 7th Edition (only have Coro Coro promo listed)
Two-Headed Dragon - Junior Super Series promo
Two-Headed Dragon - Japan Junior Tournament promo

You have Mana-Charged Dragon listed once in Commander 2010, and once in Scars of Mirrodin, but there is only the Commander 2010 printing.

This makes 229 different versions at the moment.

Well this is helpful so far, lets tackle these:
berkumps wrote: Broodmate Dragon - Retailer promo
Where can I find information about this one? What sets it apart from regular printings?
berkumps wrote: Darigaaz, the Igniter - Phyrexia vs. the Coalition Duel Decks
This is funny, I actually have this one and even saw it in one of my decks just yesterday - and somehow missed it when I was assembling the list.
berkumps wrote: Eternal Dragon - Commander 2013
Prossh, Skyraider of Kher - Commander 2013
Looks like Commander 2013 just completely snuck past me, going to have to go through it. I'm not counting Prossh at the moment because he is on an over-sized card, but given how cheaply I can pick one up right now I should probably just grab it in case I change my mind later.
berkumps wrote: Rorxi Bladewing - Planechase 2009 edition
Missed planechase 2009 all together! Thanks!(Only had the 2012 cards listed)
berkumps wrote: Shivan Dragon - 7th Edition (only have Coro Coro promo listed)
How on earth did I miss that? There's ALWAYS a Shivan in core. Always. I probably even already have one camped in one of my decks!
berkumps wrote: Two-Headed Dragon - Junior Super Series promo
Two-Headed Dragon - Japan Junior Tournament promo
Much like some of the others I'd like more information on these - this is a cardset I've never heard of, and it would help to be able to identify them better.
berkumps wrote: You have Mana-Charged Dragon listed once in Commander 2010, and once in Scars of Mirrodin, but there is only the Commander 2010 printing.
Yes I do have Mana-charged dragon listed twice, too which I shall reply "Oops". I pulled both out just to be sure, then double-cheked online. Apparently there was no mana-charged dragon in Mirrodin. Who knew?

Well, looks like I have to COMPLETELY re-number the collection for about a third time. But, hey, its much much more complete!

I really appreciate everyone's help on here. I've been working on this collection for around 10 years now, and normally when I ask for help on a forum I get between 2 and 6 people asking why I don't already have a play-set of Shichifukujin Dragons, and at least 1 person asking why I haven't included all of the shapeshifters and various cards that say "Becomes [blank] creature-type". Typically only 1 out of 10 people even tries to be helpful, but you've all actually contributed and I just really want to say thank you.

The card has the astral expansion symbol, cool mana symbols in the foiling, and also numbering of A3 2009 on the bottom. This should set it apart from a normal Shards foil Broodmate. :)

I've been asking myself that question for many years... haha. Well that's kinda the best part about a project like this, every year at least 2 or 3 new cards are released and there's always going to be a few I haven't picked up yet.

So I found this guy:

http://www.magiclibrarities.net/40-408- ... tml#return

Junior SUper Series 2-headed, looks like I can buy them on one of my favorite card sites for not a lot.

Then there's this one:

http://www.magiclibrarities.net/32-123- ... tml#return

Just a japanese-language version of the other but counts as a seperate printing. That'll be touch to find! Ah well, got information at least. I'll be back up to only missing 10 or so in a bit.

Alpha and Beta Shivans, Zodiac Dragon, and the Niv-Mizzet top-8 promo are just prohibitivelys expensive. I'd love to find somebody with just like a beat to hell alpha shivan who'd sell it cheap, haha. I heard a story many years ago about a guy who bought a barely-recognizable set of Power 9 for like $100. Who knows where you even find stuff like that, though.
