- Pick based on how pretty the picture is.
- Try to make each art different.
- Spend at least $1 on each basic.
- Choose full art lands if possible so people know how much expendable income you have.
- If possible, foil them all out so people also know how big your dick is.
- Also if possible, have them all be foreign too so people know how much you don’t get laid.
- Make the border style match your tiny leader’s border.
- For super spicy times, use Pokemon energies instead of MTG basics— it adds that little extra bit of douchery to an already douchy game.
- If you really wanna show off your BDE even more, get a local artist to do alters on all of them. Make the alts a little edgy and slightly sexually inappropriate to have something to discuss at the table.
- No alpha or beta lands? Just sharpie the border to make them look expensive!
- Ask your local game store around 7:05 on a Friday night if you can sift through all their basic lands to find the ones you want. Sit at the most central location and spread out as much as possible.
- Ask others around your at your local LGS if they have basics for trade. You’ll make lots of friends this way.
- No time to stand in line and get your lands signed at a local GP? No problem! Take a metallic sharpie and scribble chicken scratch on them! No one will ever care or be able to tell that they were signed by the artist anyway.
- Bonus tip! Buy smoke inner sleeves and put them on backwards inside an non-glare oversleeve. That way no one can see any of the cards you’re playing.
