So, Judge Promo FoW

[Megadeus]

I think it's hilarious about how much discussion that a card that get all 4 copies boarded out in 60% of matches is.

New art is meh. Shooting star is Fugly. Foil is boo. I predict 400 (in the long term). Short term probably more like 700

Also Old art for force is sweet.

[Dice_Box]

I like the MTGO art. Granted I have a set of Force already and only play them in fish so I do not like it at 400, but I like the art all the same.

[aluisiocsantos]

This art could just be like any counter spell ever.. Just name it. Dispel, Unspell, Dispell, Spell-Whatever. The composition is boring as fuck, so is the pallete - All that red before just becomes beautiful agains a blue frame. Now it's just EVERYTHING in blue. Mehhhhhhhh

And the new border just makes it even more generic-looking.

[Megadeus]

Same with the new Show and Tell. At least the old art was kinda wonky and colorful.. Now its: This card is blue. Draw something and color it blue.

[Higgs]

Oh man, this is such an annoying trend with recent art. DRS, this card is a green/black elf with death in its name, so draw an elf with skulls and paint it greenish blackish.

[death]

ikr

New frame, foiled out, shit for art. PASS.

Now let's talk about that Sword of Feast and Famine...

Yes... that sword is awesome! Can we PLEASE get an old border Gitaxian Probe while we're at it?

[Deviruchi]

Thank God I don't collect foil counterspells. Oh crap...

In Phyrexian language, ok?

[Erdvermampfa]

I'm rather let down seeing Force of Will to be printed as Judge Foil because it basically destroys all hope that we will ever see a regular reprint. Now it takes its spot alongside other 'antiquitated' cards that have been printed as JP and represent an forgone time like Show and Tell, Sneak Attack etc.

Sure if you want. I would rather it be "Beta-ized" myself

Who wants to certify me as a judge? Pay me $100 for dibs and get your free FoW.

The article reads "In recognition of this milestone, we sent promotional premium Force of Will out to judges who had certified other judges after 2005."

So being a judge isn't sufficient requirement. You had to have certified other judges.

That Sword of Feast and Famine and Elesh Norn are sick

@bmemike There'll be more opportunities for judges to get the card in the future

@DeathriteChamon Not this time, but there'll be more opportunities for judges to get access to this promo card


:D

[lordofthepit]

Whaaaaat? The original art is awesome! The new one is just generic, and the border/foil make it all Pokefail.

Old border sword is hot though, minus the foil.

This man is in the X-0 bracket on this post alone.

[Scott]

I'm going to destroy all the computerized paintbrushes in WotC's art department.

[Barook]

The new art is subpar compared the iconic original, but as a MODO player, I can tell you that you'll get used to it.

And that Elesh Norn is gorgeous.

Naw. Entomb was in a box set, so it can still happen especially with this limited supply that's not intended on helping the availability anyway. Wotc likes creature spamming not counterspells, so I find it hard to believe it would ever be in product form like stoneforge or catacombs. I don't see why people want a reprint of this if there are complaints of blue duals rising in stock value. The limiting factor are the duals, not the spells and a force reprint will just ensure the rise of the duals since blue shells would be more accessible.

Can we just go back to old borders for everything?

Yes, so you could charge someone $100 to certify you, because they're be getting a grand in return.
