If you had to pick 12 decks to live with for your whole life, what would they be and why. It can be based on their value moneywise, how much they mean to you etc.

Your Ultimate Custom Brick!


Would you please lock this topic and just go over there?  That topic expanded to cover dream bricks of stuff people don't have, and mystery bricks, and what not.

As a matter of fact, I know this topic exists. I was kindly asked by a couple of the members to make a distinct thread for it as the Ultimate Custom brick is for our favorite decks ONLY.

Ultimate; Best decks you OWN
Dream; Decks you wished you owned but don't
Mystery; Make a brick of decks you own, everyone has to guess what they are

Them's the rules.

I thought the dream brick was restricted to decks you don't own... :/

Yes, dream brick is limited to decks you don't own. It doesn't have to be 12. And all of them have to exist.

Hmm... well then it shouldn't be called a "dream" brick because dreams aren't usually real and can be anything you want.

Dream more as in 'I have a dream, that one day...' not so much 'I had a dream and I don't want to talk about it, you don't want to hear about it.  I'm sorry for even bringing it up'.  As in desires.  If it was dream deck as in actually, while sleeping, dreams they'd all be completely messed up; a deck depicting my mother waving a flag, cheering on a river of molten rock that I'm trying to run away from for the entertainment of faceless onlookers?  That'd be a TERRIBLE deck!

O I didn`t notice that, I would take out the Deck One IE then.

My choice would be extremely simple.  A mixed red/blue brick of Tally Ho Circle Backs, all dip-coated using cotton rollers like the J-Nuggs but with Magic Finish and on the original Tally Ho stock, and at least two of each color cut as high-grade stripper decks before being coated.

Does it really get any better than that?   8)

Haha but do those really exist? Because the dream brick is existing decks that we would like.

Sounds like we need to have a Fantasy Brick or Wish Brick thread. This brick is made up of cards that don't exist, didn't exist in the past, aren't on the horizon, but you wish they were available. This could offer some ideas to the deck producers which may come to fruition.

Haha we would need:
Ultimate; Best decks you OWN
Dream; ONLY decks you wished you owned but don't
Mystery; Make a brick of decks you own, everyone has to guess what they are
Fantasy; Make a mixed brick made up of cards that don't exist, didn't exist in the past, aren't on the horizon, but you wish they were available
Best; Mixture of ultimate, dream and fantasy

That would be fun!

Do we REALLY need that many topics on this?

Just because a dream brick is made of decks that don't exist now, doesn't mean it will NEVER exist.  Tally Ho stock is still out there, even if USPC isn't using it - someone has to have made it and still knows how.  The process used for creating the cards, while antiquated, is still known - though it would remain to be seen if Magic Finish applied in such a manner is compatible with that stock or not.  Making some strippers would be the easiest part.

But the whole process would probably make the decks VERY expensive.

Haha it doesn't really matter. The whole point is for it to be fun. I was just kidding around. Let's not make that many topics.

Here is my dream brick:
Smoke v1
Mirror v1
Black Ghost 1st Edition
Jerry's Nuggets Red
Jerry's Nuggets Blue
Gold Monarch
Gold Arcane
Red Artifice
Smoke v2
Mirror v2
Smoke v3
Mirror v3

I chose those decks because I am not a fan of vintage decks and most of these are non-vintage decks with a lot of value. If I owned duplicates of all of these, I would open 1 brick and keep the other sealed. If I owned 3 duplicates, I would sell 1 brick, open 1, and keep one for collection.
