Does anyone have any info on what promo alt-art Jace will be distributed with the M11 deckbuilding challenge?

I won the 2nd place prize, and I am just seeing if there is any information about the card coming out.

If it is a new alt-art, there would only be 80 of them released with this mailing. 8ea for 5 First place winners, and 1ea for all 40 Second place winners.

If anything, it will probably be the "Media Inserts" art shown here:

May or may not be a different symbol. I'm only saying that because of the recent Arcana articles of the Sorcerer's Apprentice mock up cards.

This is the Agents of Artifice Jace promo. I think they will at least use another piece of art.

Well, you'll be the one to find out then I suppose. Post pictures of it if it is special and new.

My guess is it is a previous promo-card, perhaps with a new symbol. It would be very awesome if it was new art. But I think they would have used the words, "Never before released" somewhere in the arcana describing the contest.

Well, congratulations! Post some scans when the card does come.

I thought the media insert was a pretty cool art and I'd be happy to see it agian, does anybody know where the full art of this is? I've lookd fr it before and its been quite elusive.

It's the art used on the cover of Agents of Artifice. I don't know where to get a digital image of it, but if you can find a hardcover copy you can at least get a look at it if you remove the book jacket.

Was in last wednesdays arcana.

It ended monday.

If I were you I'd be pretty confident that you're getting eight of their leftover book promos (as shown above). This isn't Yu-Gi-Oh!, and Wizards isn't known for doing super short-runs (read: 80) of anything. On the other hand, they ARE known for recycling old promos to clear out back stock. On the plus side, those promos often sell for $60 or so apiece, because they look really nice and are incredibly rare. They're not foil, though.

I got my 2nd place prizes this afternoon; It's the promo Jace originally released with the novel.

Still awesome.

Can you post a scan of it?

See Post #2.

I'll be very surprised if this has a different expansion symbol.

If it does, you're probably sitting on a small fortune. Well, a BIGGER small fortune anyway...these typically fetch about $40 a pop as-is.

Congrats, PB.

There's really no reason to scan it, because it's no different from the one you could get if you bought the novel at a game store. Same expansion symbol, copyright date, etc.

I didn't expect it to be a different card, personally. And it was free, so I'm certainly not complaining. Maybe I'll finally build a mill deck instead of just talking about it.

Second report of receiving my non-foil media insert promo Jace in the mail today, just to confirm.

Please don't keep us in suspense. Will you kindly post the decklist you created that got you 2nd place in this event?

you'll laugh.. but here it is

Artifacts
4x Steel Overseer
4x Juggernaut
4x Ornithopter
3x Gargoyle Sentinel
2x Voltaic Key
2x Steel Golem
2x Triskelion
1x Temple Bell

Red
4x Pyretic Ritual
4x Lightning Bolt
3x Chandra Naalar
3x Chandra's Outrage
1x Fireball

Land
23x Mountain

O.o That list doesn't seem very Chandra-flavored...Were they looking more for flavor or competitive value?

Its a very interesting aggro deck.... the only artifact in there that makes any sense for chandra is triskelion(direct damage is completely red).

From there you add steel overseer to make triskelion good.

From there you add more artifact creatures and voltaic key to make overseer more nuts than he already is.

All the red makes sense. Pyretic ritual to get to triskelion and chandra that much faster.

Though.... I don't know. It seems interesting to say the least.

I don't want to risk leaving any Victorian-era ladies of proper breeding in suspense, lest they tumble back on their fainting couches from breathless anticipation, so here's the one I submitted to win:

I openly admit I was aiming for second place since I assumed the judges would choose one of each planeswalker, and the first place winners would be monocolored. Plus I submitted this the morning of the announcement, so yes, Mother, it probably could have been better.
