Figures more crappy WPN cards. I miss Con. which was amazing and get the reborn and these :(. What did they do think Path was to good? I would rather get good commons then crap uncommon.
I wish they had gone all-out with that pic's old-school picture and just used the pre-Mirrodin card frames. I don't get the hate on the Mind Control art- it looks like its something straight out of a pack of Legends.
like the art on both promos. the mind control art is actually better than the original card by a long shot.

Mind Control art is much better than the original, Rise from the Grave is decent but not as good art. I guess they can find a home in an EDH deck since they're foil and free.
Almost anything would be better than the M10 Mind Control, and this new art is pretty unusual compared to normal Magic art. I like it. Rise from the Grave is okay, I guess, but it's not as weird as Mind Control.
I don't like that Rise From the Grave at all, the regular artwork for that is much better. But Mind Control is great, the regular one is just awful(which is weird coming from Tedin).
I like the Mind Control art; its far superior to the standard one.
RFTG is ok, but the original was better.
That's because the M10 Rise from the Grave is one of the best illustrations in M10. I have come to dislike Baxa's work lately though. The, "****! I am messily painted with lots of black and white paint mixed in and I am shocked!" look got old a long time ago to me.
I had hoped for White Knight and Black Knight, but it would be churlish to turn my nose up at free cards.
Scan attached.
Rise is pretty cool.... but really, the standard art is better as well (that one is awesome).

Mind Control is good as a SB card, or in a very specific deck. But still, it doesn't compare to Thoctars and Path to Exiles.

In that mindcontrol I get that the one guy is crying, but the guy who is raging looks like he is throwing up. It's kinda just weird.
Also, the rise from the grave art looks like it could have been leftover from Ravnica block.

The other one... Man, why do they keep using Baxa? His recent stuff seems to just keep going downhill.

Then again, time walk is my favorite piece of magic art, so I may not be the best example of what most people want.
There for the WPN(Wizards play Network). Your store has to be signed up for it. Its like Friday night magic but alot easier to get.
