Holy crap Scepter!!!!
Its not even good but I want some because the art is so sick. Also epic fail for making Arrows. Nobody ever used it outside of block Mono Blue, and TSP block is rotated already. Oh well.

Welcome to FNM promos.

[URABAHN]

Welcome to FNM promos.

Aww, I think the arrows are neat. I'm nostalgic like that. They're useless in Legacy, I don't know about Extended or Standard.

[Sanguine Voyeur]

I don't know about Extended or Standard.They're not legal in Standard and worse then most things in Extended.

There's little reason to run them in constructed.

[mercenarybdu]

Art wise it is worth every penny. Otherwise don't go for the Arrows at all.

[DeathwingZERO]

There's little reason to run them in constructed.

Unless of course you were forced by arbitrary rules in Standard that required you to play with at least 1 card from each expansion legal at the time.

[Sanguine Voyeur]

Unless of course you were forced by arbitrary rules in Standard that required you to play with at least 1 card from each expansion legal at the time.That would be relevant if I wasn't talking about the present. You see that line of text above my name in the dark blue rectangle? Thats the time I'm talking about.

Just for future reference.

[The Rack]

Arrows looks cool, scepter looks really ugly. Might be good alteration bait. But altered foils look kinda goofy.

[sadface]

So, they finally ditched the FNM textbox stamp. About effing time.

[AngryTroll]

A ton of people really hated the FNM text, but it never actually bothered me. I was pretty indifferent and didn't understand why some people were so upset by it.

I wish the FNM promos were cards I was excited about, but I suppose printing cards that are exciting for Legacy players don't excite the main audience, Type Two players and drafters. Sceptor is cool, though, and I remember Mogg Fanatics. And Reanimates, too.

[sunshine]

Are we sure the FNM stamp is gone? These don't seem to have any foil texture at all, which makes me wonder if they just didn't add it yet.

Isochron Scepter looks nice , but this one shines :

Topic bonus : December FNM -> Shrapnel Blast

[Jaynel]

Wow! Too bad Shrapnel Blast is terrible. That art kicks insane amounts of ass.

[yawg07]

Also take note, that is a Mindslaver exploding on that mans head! :D

Me wants! Very cool art.

[TrialByFire]

Seems like they're sticking to Extended cards... sigh. FNM Counterbalance anyone?

[yawg07]

That would be a total kick in the balls for Extended players to print an FNM Counterbalance after banning Sensei Top! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

I don't know why , but that sounds to me as a great idea xP

[mercenarybdu]

FNM Counterbalance would totally knock the socks off of anyone.

How about an FNM top to knock them over some more?

[hi-val]

All that art is bad : (

For Shrapnel Blast, is there anything about the art that tells you it's specifically Shrapnel Blast? The art could be Ignite Memories easily. I'd rather see some art showing an artifact controlled by the wizard blowing up on someone else, instead of their own helmet detonating.

The arrows are okay, but they look too CGI.

The easy fix on the scepter would have been to replace the eye with some sort of spell representation that is different from a bodily object. For example, can you look at that art and tell that it's an artifact? Could the art be for Peek or some other blue Instant?

[The Rack]

That shrapnel blast is sweet. It looks pretty high energy and intense. I like it.

[zulander]

I want to see a kakosho FNM.

[TrialByFire]

FNMs are usually not rares

I almost got Calosso into the top 8 of a States with Serrated Arrows. The card has some silly interactions in UW Control with Desert and Repeal.

I'm also surprised it didn't see more play in T2 this year. Comboed, again, with Desert, it was better than Wrath against most Tribal decks, especially Faeries.

Wrath was bad against Faeries. Mistbind Clique and Bitterblossom made Wrath too bad to even talk about it. Desert by itself was also bad on Faeries. I can't see how Arrow alone would be good. Obviously, Arrow + Desert would be much better at the level of actually being good. At that point, the issue would be resolving Arrow.

[TheInfamousBearAssassin]

Yeah, I never found Wrath bad against Faeries. I mean, granted it would be better as an instant, but the mentality against it was, "Oh, well, Faeries runs counters, you know, so it's no use playing good cards. They'll just counter them."

Which was fundamentally retarded. I found that simply running as many good cards as possible to diminish the chances of their countering every single one of those good cards was enough, usually.

The only real problem with Desert against Faeries was Scion, which Arrows tackled nicely. I was always glad to draw Arrows against Faeries. It's true that they ran 12 or so counters, but it's also true that they had to shuffle those counters in their deck at the beginning of the match, which I found was really the field leveler.

But then, I only played T2 for a month or two this year, what do I know?*
