Hi

I thought of this idea while sorting through my magic cards and other possessions.

I'm going to list a bunch of weird magic the gathering items. if you own the item and would like to participate, simply write your username on a scrap of paper, and post a photo of that scrap of paper next to the item in question.

Much like the popular Magic: The Gathering trading card game, this is purely for fun.

some of these items are easy to come across, others are really rare. I have some of these, which is where I'm getting some my ideas. The rare expensive stuff i don't have.

I wonder if we'll be able to complete this

8. Empty "Saviors of Kamigawa" Booster Box
10. 6 Loxodon Peacekeepers from Mirrodin
12. Alternate Art Foil skyship weatherlight from planeshift

Some new ones since there's only 4 left

14. playset of siege gang commander from elves vs goblins
16. Mirrodin Pentavite Token (Player Rewards)
17. Foil set of all 10 Ravnica block Shock-lands
18. The box that the original Portal starter came in
19. "Chainers Torment" Novel
20. Playset of Ancestral Recall

More Suggested By Others
21. A rules booklet from Nemesis

From now on, when you get one, you can post a new item of this type for the next person. (idea thought of by Viperion)
Every so often, I'll edit this to reflect the new ones posted. If you got a previous one, then you can post a new challenge and I'll update.

Thats all i can think of now. There's no older stuff because i started in invasion, so i don't know what kinds of obscure old stuff there is. If you got ideas for more, PM me. Lets see if we can fill out the list!


Completed (I'm too lazy to type names, so let the piece of paper with the name stand for that)

1. Alan Comer Hall of fame card from 2005
http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s113/Liseduen/Random%20Magic%20Pictures/S6301434.jpg
2. Foil set of onslaught pit fighter legends http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk196/coasterdude84/FoilPitFighters-1.jpg
3. Zendikar Angel token with a back that advertises the "path of thee Planswalker" Novel (Use a mirror to get both sides in your picture)
http://img72.imageshack.us/img72/170/img0062u.jpg
4. Wrapper for a Judgement booster pack
http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk196/coasterdude84/Judgmentwrappers-1.jpg
5. Rules insert that came in Onslaught Tournament Packs
http://img339.imageshack.us/img339/9451/onslaughtrulesinsert.jpg
6. Foil Jace The Mind Sculptor (A mythic rare from the worldwake set)
http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c240/caquaa/mtg/cube/blue.jpg
7. Set of zendikar basic lands that are not full art. one of each type of lands (plains, island, swamp, mountain, forest)
http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs625.snc4/58537_160368 1174388_1306863495_1712064_6196755_n.jpg
9. "Super secret Tech" from the unhinged set
http://img375.imageshack.us/img375/9016/scavenger.jpg
11. Foil Balthor the stout and Balthor the Defiles
http://img375.imageshack.us/img375/9016/scavenger.jpg
13. 7th edition foil thorn elemental in the packet thingy it was in when it came with the starter decks

15. FNM krosan tusker

that is so easy to complete, its almost a joke... why not take a little bit of time to research so this can actually be fun and challenging.

Things that come in standard packs like proplayer/tip/advertisement or even regular foils are just not that rare.

Pick things like:
Summer Edition Rare Card- Tundra, Mana Vault etc
Urza's Saga Textless Foil Testprint
Original Artwork from Arabian Nights
certain percentage of an alpha print run
Miscut P9 Showing another card
Magic Card signed by a celebrity
etc

Unless you have a large bank account, those are impossible.

A scavenger hunt where you can pretty much just buy the items you're looking for seems pointless.

thats exactly what I am saying, now maybe I chose some extreme alternatives, but the "obscure" description in the title is misleading.

Do you have all of the things I suggested, maybe if you post pics of them you could do the next round?

yep, they are from the precon decks. I have 2-3 of the islands. I'm not sure if the exist in other languages besides english. They likely do, which means I'm screwed. Good thing I neglect my island collection fairly often.

They are 1.99 at scg?? The defiled I'm guessing are harder (sadly just traded one away but it was just sitting in my binder)

I like the scavenger hunt idea. I don't have any of the cards but have a few decent ideas for good cards.

Ihateworking needs to read the entire post.

"Much like the popular Magic: The Gathering trading card game, this is purely for fun."

Not everything has to be "lawl how much japanese foilz can i getz to brag about?"

Is it really that hard to find? Foil?

$1.99 at StarCityGames says otherwise.

This is fun. Judgment wrappers

EDIT: It occurred to me that having a complete set of Onslaught in foil would give me the pit fighters.

EDIT #2: Woops, had Kamahl instead of Silvos. Fixed.

This is a great and fun idea - and I have a small suggestion for it if I may? When you "complete" one of these tasks you must set another one for someone else to do (no fair you doing it yourself! ) That way it just keeps going and going and we get to see the cool and obscure stuff people have.

To Ihateworking: It doesn't have to be a challenge; it's just a bit o' fun!

Nice to see you both actually looked at the picture.

Sure, Balthor the Stout is super easy. Balthor, o Resuluto, however, is not.

That's a really great idea, but it might be difficult to get running. I'll edit the first post to reflect the change.

How about a sealed Beatdown Box? Well... that may be a bit too easy, so I will also suggest the Foil Alternate Art Tahngarth, Talruum Hero from the invasion Block
