I really don't understand why they keep printing promo cards that have ROTATED OUT. My god
It could be because standard isn't the only format. It's not even the only format for FNM. Something like Gitaxian Probe is useable in lots of decks. I've never seen something like Squadron Hawk in any deck outside of standard or as a 23rd in sealed. (including casual formats)
This is pretty awesome, IMO. Great card in Modern and Legacy storm combo, and in Pauper storm combo if you are one of the (lucky) few who play pauper in paper.
I'm not surprised to see a card like this as the promo next month. After all, starting next year, Modern is officially sanctioned for FNM. Why not celebrate with a card that all Delver players love?

The original art is better -- even psychologically. With that giant eye staring back at me and then having to reveal my hand, I always feel violated and a little ticked off when someone probes me
This should have been a promo while the card was in standard. Sure I play it in some legacy decks, but its not really a hard to find card or anything of that nature.
The arguement "this promo sucks, it's already rotated" is a little bit silly. Not only is Git Probe a very, very good card that is playable in vintage, legacy, and now modern, but it's highly unlikely they will ever bring back Phyrexian mana in a real set.

One might say that this will PROBEably be the next FNM promo.

Doctor, my eyes, tell me what you see. I hear their cries... just say if it's too late for me.

Squadron hawk sees some play in Modern mono-white decks. word on the street says it's rediculous with martyr of sands
Not sure if I attached it right
The art isn't bad, but the old art is way better (even if I don't like it).

It's alright I guess.
It's no Lingering Souls, but at least it isn't something awkward like it could have been.
Oh well, at least the original art is much better.
Thanks to Gabgabdevo for the awesome sig image!
