Here are my crazy Brazilian translation skills at work: "Sometimes you die a glorious death with your sword held high. Sometimes you're just target practice."
Consider me in the minority. I was actually hoping for Modern cards, especially the "rumored" Sleight of Hand. You know, especially since January will be the first month that Modern hits FNM. A slightly wasted opportunity imho. Still... could be worse!

So it's the exact same as the M13 edition.
This is a great promo is you play FNM in Standard, but useless everywhere Lightning Bolt is legal.

What I don't like about it is that it further suggests that we won't see any Lightning Bolts in standard any time soon. I already know that Wizards doesn't like lightning bolt because it makes all other burn spells look bad, but a red mage can dream... can't he?

Whenever a player would gain life, flip a coin. If heads, that player loses that much life instead. If tails sacrifice [card] and that player gains that life as per usual.

Lightning Bolt was in Standard for two core sets. It won't be back for awhile, especially given Snapcaster Mage's existence in the format. Standard has not had Lightning Bolt in it before, just like one-drop white removal spells. WoTC doesn't want every Standard season to look the same, so they try to mix things up a bit. I'm sure Bolt will come back years from now, just not any time soon.
The problem with defining this format by what is "fun" is that everyone seems to define fun as what they don't lose to. If you keep losing to easily answered cards, that means you should improve your deck. If you don't want to improve your deck, then you should come to peace with the idea that you are going to lose because you chose to not interact with better strategies.

To be fair, this is true for all FNM promos. They always print commons and uncommons.

"Stoned players can't attack, block, or play spells or abilities."
Still, I'll probably end of getting it for my Pauper Cube. Better than me not using it at all.
