    They can be used in tournaments so they are valuable, hard to say how valuable they are compared to the standard cards in English, I'd think that they might be a little less desirable than the cards in English but if it's a tournament worthy card it's going to be desirable regardless of the language.

    As someone who collected magic cards for about 10 years, yes they are still quite valuable depending on the card. I had an Italian mana drain because I couldn't find an English version on EBAY and sold it 2 years later for a 225% markup. That card is now an NES game lol. Yes, you can use a non English variant card in an English tournament if you have a copy of the cards text printilee from the cards database off WOTC website or if it's a smaller tournament like Friday night magic they will usually let you utilize your phone.

    Interesting. I started just after Legends had been discontinued and I remember buying Italian or Spanish packs at a card show for dirt cheap. I'll have to dig them up and see what's there  .
