This has been said in every thread I've read about FNM promo's since I started playing. Lol.
Good! Goes to show that they're picking a good diverse mix of cards that people seem to need - though Dismember seems to fall into everyone's "need" category.
Are there any deck still using Dismember? Or is just a cube/casual thing atm?
it sees random amounts of play in certain decks. Esper Delver sometimes runs it as a two-of if they want something a little more hard to go with a few Snags.
Take your monoblack deck, then set aside 14 swamps. Add 4 Creeping Tar Pits, 4 Darkslick Shores, 4 Drowned Catacombs, and 2 Jwar isle Refuge and add 4 Jace, the Mindsculptors. Your monoblack deck is instantly better. Better yet, drop those refuges, throw in some islands and some mana leaks, and lo and behold, you're now playing a real deck. Congratulations. Welcome to the world of competitive M:TG.
Well, dismember is already a sought after card - $2 for an uncommon is rather high. I imagine a foil version (assuming it has decent art) will go for $5+ or so.
This will be worth $10-$15 steadily for a long time once it leaves standard
Of the 4 cards you named, one is from a 6 year old set, one is from a 7 year old set, and one is from an 8 year old set. The last is from a 16 year old set, from a time when print runs were not nearly as extensive. In 16 years, Magic has produced far more than a few good uncommons, and yet so few of them have held these prices.
Dismember is good, but it's not good enough to be the main form of removal in a Legacy/Modern deck. Further, it's just removal. It doesn't excel any more than other removal in the way that the four cards you listed are the absolute best at what they do. Its only claim to fame is that it's colorless, but 4 life is non-negligible.
Of course, I'm not saying I won't be picking some of these up. Just that they might not be the great investments that buying a thousand Force of Wills would've been in 1996...
A better comparison is Path to Exile and its FNM promo. Its ~$6-7 on ebay at the moment, Modern Staple and boarderline Legacy Staple.

So that would make it easier to get a hold of than a FNM promo?

Why don't we have art yet? I'm pretty sure we had the art for Tec Edge back in January. Seems strange that with this being the promo in a matter of weeks we have yet to see anything.

Tech Edge, Dispise and one other art got spoiled over MTGO all at once.

I'm super-stoked about this one. And I was really excited about Tectonic Edge and Despise, believe it or not (I love Tec Edge, mostly because I love nonbasic lands).
Hopefully I can get a playset. That'd mean getting 1st consistently where I go. :/ It's doable, but even if I manage it, I sorta feel bad for everyone else. 'Course the crowd here is semi-casual/play for fun and other random people still get promos as well.
Reprints the one card that people point to when saying that art objectifies women.
Well done Wizards.
Liliana does not objectify women in any way at all. We have gotten to a point in our society that every single picture of a women must be objectifying a women in some negative way......blah blah blah.. That is not the case. (((Sarcasm)))Picture of a girl drinking a milk shake, must be sex related and putting women down, picture of girl sitting on a beach, picture of a girl driving a car, picture of a girl on the moon at a new space station.)))
You have a picture of an attractive strong power women who girls dress up as for anime conventions. What more do you want? The picture is fine, happy to see a reprint. Sick of of seeing people claim that everything in existence must be putting women down. Then all I have to do is replace the word "women" with anything else to get the same mentality; fish, cats, arabs, blacks, jews, men, environment, whites, chinese, old people, etc. It doesn't matter what word I put in. Stop sucking life out of everything man. That artwork of her is awesome. Stop putting stuff down man. Just stop. If the picture was really as negative as you claim she would totally nude, in a kitchen, making sandwiches and giving blow jobs. Her abilities would be horrible as well. +1 do nothing -2 do nothing -6 do nothing. Instead liliana of the veil is an amazing planeswalker comparable to jace, the mind sculpter with great art to appreciate.
My suggestion listen to some comedy radio for a while, pandora is free, youtube is free there is something out there for you. ***** go make fun of somebody. The whole world is so serious and campaigning for some cause, or someones rights, everything is a hate crime, racist, sexist. blah blah blah.
"O no mcdonalds must be slandering a hate crime against skinny people every time they make a big mac." hahaha jeeze You're just someone perpetuating another groups negative perspective that they've made you believe is correct. Look at the picture for a hour and tell me what's wrong with it? I don't see anything.
I have heard vague rumors of a moustache-dispensing vending machine in a distant laundromat, across the street from a tattoo parlor. However, this information is shaky, and time is of the essence.

Dismember at its peak - $10
Spell Snare - $12
Sensei's Divining Top - $13
Aether Vial - $13
Force of Will(technically uncommon) - $70
This will be worth $10-$15 steadily for a long time once it leaves standard

Slight error, there was no FNM Path to Exile, it was a WPN promo, like Shrine of Burning Rage and Maul Splicer.

Arcana on the mothership usually spoils these the friday before the month of the card (if that makes sense).
