When I see Healing Salve, I'm often like "Oh girl, I wish I could turn every card into this." Thanks they removed the gain life part, otherwise this would have been broken.
As much as I love the crap out of foils, I've realised recently that I love old cards much better. I've been seeking out Beta, FBB and original versions of certain cards recently and I love the look of them. I've even relaxed my "no foreign cards" rule just to get affordable black bordered old versions of cards like Balance, Mind Twist, Nev's Disk etc.
Just made an order for a Beta Lightning bolt (to replace foil M10), Beta Fireball (to replace foil Darksteel), Beta Dark Ritual, and Antiquities Triskelion (to replace foil Mirrodin).
Now for the obligatory inane questions:
Fav version of Fireball?
also, Fav version of Lightning Bolt?
PS. also, wtwlf I am aware that you have a badass Fireball alter that kicks other Fireballs' asses.
Just got to say, you've definitely earned distinction as an MTGS hero

I had the opportunity to get the Lightning Bolt judge promo or the Beta at roughly the same price and I ended up going with Beta. I think it'd stand out better against all the other red foils that I have.

Beta Lightning Bolt 100%
its black-bordered
it has original typeset
the artwork is perfect
when i have an old card in my hand, i feel like its 1994 again
if i had the money, a Beta Lightning Bolt
would be up there with Beta Black Knight, or Serra Angel in sheer awesome..

What's considered more pimp? A regular foil, or the card in Japanese?
For me, it's Japanese, but my group are making D: faces when I say this.
Back when I was a part of Vintage world, Japanese/Korean foil > Japanese/Korean > Regular Foil > Regular Card. I don't know if that has changed in recent years.

The original is so much better, it's not even funny.
I personally like the FNM one here by a lot.

Fireball (I would say the MPR Fireball but I hate the art).
Lightning Bolt (if my previous avatar wasn't clear enough).

Only those 3 even placed
For fireball: in order of priority again. but I haven't been able to snag an alpha/beta one, so i run the rewards promo.
to be fair, i'd run the arena promo (far right) over the rewards promo, but still, the rewards looks better.

Have you seen the company store serra angel promo? that thing comes damn close to competing with the alpha/beta.
but i'll agree with you on black knight.
Speaking of knights: White knight, alpha/beta or fnm promo?
Let's be frank, the legions version could never really compete

for me, the regular foil, since value-wise only foil japanese cards really carry the premium

But after that I like the foiling process on the F&L Bolt best.
