I'm assuming there will be a large one of these at GenCon.
What awful promos though. Naya Sojourners? Really? I mean come on, really?! Couldn't give us like Putrid Leech or Pridemage or something? No one is going to give a flying crap about this.
Mycoid Shepard is marginally better but still, come on.
What we're doing here is akin to taking the text of Moby Dick, locating specific words therein, rearranging them to create a passage from Fight Club, and concluding from this evidence that Tyler Durden is based on Ahab.
Dr. Jeebus is right, the promos will be everywhere. I guess they just wanted to choose a card that people wouldn't bother having an impact in the market.
Sojourners is just a really odd choice. Works decently with last block, persist and whatnot, but still the timing is pretty awful considering it's a M10th event. I think I'd rather have foil basic lands given out or something. That way it's be useful for to some degree.
Random foil common becomes a promo card - wth?
Isn't it like the worst card to be ever made a promo?
I know something like Lava Axe is at least as bad, but at least it was somewhat appealing to the newbies.

I'm fairly excited to see full art Mycoids, a playset would look great in my deck. Also, who the hell would come up with Naya Sojourners as a promo card? I'd rather have a Plains.

I like mycoid shepherd personally it's underrated. It should see some play in standard post rotation hopefully I've been stockpiling some in trades.
I want a fullart mycoid shepherd though.
WTH @ naya sojourners in draft that card is pretty worthless but in constructed it see's zero play because it sucks. I would've liked a foil terminate or a lot of other commons in the set but not that guy.

Naya Sojourners I can actually dig. Uncounterable pump+draw, go, go, go!

I also run 2 at least in a week, the most I got was 24 players for prereleases.
In the future I will try to break the core number attendance with a legacy tournament or so with a BIG prize support of my own. Hope that will work...
Naya Sojourners is like a spit in the face. It's not even that hot in limited as Naya's 5 cc slot is so crammed, and the cycle effect is meh... compared to Jund Sojourners. I even like Grixis Sojourners better because 4/3 for 4 in those colors is pretty decent.
Anyway that's limited... If another ARB common was picked at random, chances are it would be a more interesting promo than Naya Sojourners.

Nope, you'll print format defining, absolutely necessary cards at mythic instead.

at least the axe is somewhat iconic
This is not a release tournament. This is a constructed tournament being held simulaneously worldwide in August.

Well at least they know to give each player 50, thus maybe getting some fun out of them.
interested in the certificate, who knows what it could be?
I've also made over 95 bucks on this site since I started on 11/24/09. Give it a try!
