Honestly, I'm a BIG fan of the Hellspark Elemental (as a person who runs burn), and I love the alternate art foil. Also, could take or leave the PTE art, but the card itself is a good card.

Sweet jesus! I loved the original Path to Exile, and now my favorite MTG artist did the art for that stunning alternate art promo. I absolutely have to get a playset or ten of these.
Oh, and the Hellspark is pretty cool too.. but damn I'm speechless at that PtE!
I can't believe there are people who prefer the CON PtE art over this art. Guay = Win. This art looks like 1994-96 style but 2007-09 quality. Every card's art should be like this!
The thing is, even if you are a Guay fan or not, this is a step above her normal work, and reminds me of the classicness of a card like Gaea's Blessing. Beautiful storybook type illustration.
Probably my favorite card in a LONG time to come out of Wizards.
Nothing in this game is degenerate or completely dominant. They haven't banned anything in standard in a long, long time. Hell they should have banned affinity right away, but they didn't until boxed sales collapsed too. Hasbro had to come in and fire people.
I'll enjoy watching all the whiners eat crow monday.
No question about it. That promo PTE art is something I would eat if it weren't so valuable. I'd play normal ones any day.

With all, put the same thing except with / in front of what type of tags they are (like [/card]) to close them.

I'm a bit surprised, as I was expecting Path to Exile to be the next textless MPR. Guess we'll have to settle for something like Celestial Purge then, instead.
I don't have any hard numbers on this, but I'm targeted more often than a black guy driving a beat-up sedan with a broken tail-light and no license plate, and Cy's well aware of that.
Holy Sweet Jesus, Rebecca's Path to Exile is AMAZING.
My thoughts exactly.
Does anyone have an idea of the price these are likely to go at on eBay (I'm looking at rancored_elf and other veteran sellers)? Promos tend to vary hugely and this is a very popular and playable card, but the distribution of Gateway cards is fairly wide, no?

No it won't, TOs give them away for participating in their events, I plan to run a pauper league to give mine away (if they ever come, my event has shown as processed since Wednesday and a TO friend of mine who applied later than I did got his today ) The whole point of these cards is to get people involved in organized play, if you can't get them in your area, I'd say your TO is probably selling them, of course that's just a guess and I don't know what the complete situation is. If you don't have a TO in your area, or feel that he/she isn't doing the job to the best of his/her ability, you could always apply to become one yourself. It isn't hard to pass the "test" and you can get just about any public location approved as your venue.
They are left up to the store's discretion, but Wizard's suggests that each player gets 2 ticks on a sheet for a win and 1 for a loss. 10 ticks = Hellspark, 20 ticks = Path. I just got mine at 6 am this morning, lol.

On spoiled card wishlisting and 'should-have-had'-isms:
Ebay has 1 playset up, set at $65

Those of us who have not yet recieved them should have them by the end of this week at latest.
Are these cards participation prizes, or left up to the store's discretion?

Considering even Gateway organizers get these, there should be events available close by if you are looking to win them.

AH! I'm stuck in class. I hope I don't miss the FedEx guy. Assuming my kit comes today.
The Path to Exile is amazing.
