I think the art looks insanely awesome. I saw Dan Bock post this and didn't realize it was something actually being done, o thought it was someone's Deviant Art or something. Super cool concept. I thought either Yu-Gi-Oh or Pokemon did this already. It is interesting if it's a single set, but I hope they don't keep doing it (or do it as a collector proof so I don't have to see it in a tournament). |

I think WotC just wanted to get into the game with an exclusive SDCC promo, since those are all the rage now. Just about every booth now has something that you can only get at that show.
Unless Chandra 4.0 is something amazing, I don't imagine the set will be worth what it will likely end up costing to get on the secondary market.

Ahhh, makes sense. I wouldn't have expected SDCC to be a big Wizards event.
I still may drive out to SDCC for it, but I need some more details.

They have upped their presence at a lot of events recently. Steve Port has done stuff for them at PAX and even the Warped Tour recently. Last year, they even set up a special store front near the convention center for SDCC just for WotC products.
I'm not sure how they are handling distribution on this one though and how limited quantities will be. They might have a daily allotment or a lottery system for buying them. It varies widely from company to company on how they handle exclusives at the show.

Yes! A playable Chandra!
I love how they have been pushing the power of planeswalkers. A good Liliana and now a Chandra.

I'd really like the SDCC promos (there is 1 for each planeswalker). They should go for at least 100 for a set. Possibly triple or more.
Cheers

Scene opens inside Wizards Dev office: Dev 1: Let's remake Odious Trow. Dev 2: I'm tired of regenerate. Dev 1: I guess that's true, We've put regenerate on everything. Dev 2: How about dies? It's got FLAVOR! Everyone loves dies as a keyword! Dev 1: But we don't want it to die!? Dev 2: How about... we make it live again? Dev 1: Return to the battlefield? Dev 2: BRILLIANT! Dev 1: BRILLIANT!  |

You must have come into some wedding money or something...Chandra and Mutavault aren't exactly cheap...
I'll be getting foils of Primeval Bounty (Yeva), Sporemound (Wort), Young Pyromancer (Wort, cube), Dark Prophecy (Chainer), and a non-foil Chandra (cube).
EDIT: Also getting Elvish Mystic, Imposing Sovereign, Liliana's Reaver, Kalonian Hydra, Banisher Priest, and Shadowborn Demon for cube testing.

I got a raise a short while back and am no longer funneling money into the wedding so there's that. Plus I was planning on trying to get these anyway since I knew rotation was coming and they would provide me with standard playability for the next year-ish
All those sound sweet btw for EDH, and yay for cube.
I'm probably going to do at least 1 prerelease, if I pick up anything small and relevant for cube I'll let you know

Travis I can hook you up with Elvish Mystic, Banisher Priest, and Shadowborn Demon for the cube. I'm going to hang onto my Soverign because he looks like he might see significant standard play from the buzz I've been hearing and initial playtesting I've done against him online.
