Bleh! I like the Ghor Clan (I think?) but the scavenging ooze looks like a merfolk.....and kinda like a girl....Shouldnt the alt art look cooler than the original? The orig ooze looks scary and this just looks...lame.
I remember when FNM promos were almost never standard legal cards and most unplayable - now I see people complaining about perfectly good card standard legal cards. Wow.

The issue I take with it is WotC supporting Type II over all of the other FNM-legal formats like Type 1.X and Modern.

well Modern being a FNM format is a new thing... and we got early this year Gitaxian Probe (a vintage , legacy and Modern playable)...
and also last year Lingering Souls, Ancient Grudge , Dismember Izzet Charm this year too
its not like they just do T2 cards for promos but you know when a card is good in T2 it has a litle chance of being good in Modern...:nod:

I'm going to complain about all of these Standard-focused FNM promos, because I prefer non-Standard FNM promos.
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.
he was. and its a $35 dollar card...comparing it to an FNM Dimir Charm makes no sense. That's like asking people which they would prefer, FTV 20 JTMS or FTV Realms Desert.
Judge promos aren't just expensive because of the smaller print run, they also tend towards older cards that have been out of print for a while or are decidedly not safe for reprinting in standard and are allowed to be rare or mythics, so there's less alternative.
They're really not at all comparable.
I know judge promos are expencive but it's only because some of them have a much more limited print then fnm. If Cunning wish promo was printed as an fnm, the price would drop significantly. I was comparing the original cost of a no-foil version. Cunning wish 10$, Ghor-Clan Rampager 0.25$.
Fine bad example, lets try this.
Ghor Clan Rampager or Go For the Throat?
Which is the better card....was the point of the statement.
Obviously it was Go for the throat. Which would you rather run? Not to mention which had better art?
Ghor cland rampager is a good creature that doubles as a good instant but is GR and useful only in creature decks. Go for the throat was a good all round control spell. For two mana and only require 1 black mana.
Well you said something about the price....
and for that "Which is the better card" i can't respond ...
They play diferent roles.... Ghor-Clan Rampager can be a combat trick and a creature. Go For the Throat is a kill spell wich is worse than Terminate (another FNM promo...)
Depends on the deck, if I wasn't running red, I wouldn't bother splashing red for terminate on it's own. Go for the throat isn't so colour intensive and so can be used in a wider variety of decks.
Also thank you for proving my point, that the latest fnm cards are not as good as the olders ones from ages ago.
Are you crazy?
FNM since back 2001-2003 where almost cool cards (common and uncommon) that have some kind of potential...
every point you were trying to argue in the Go For the Throat VS Ghor-Clan Rampager situation promptly invalidated with only the first 4 words of this post. If your argument is which you like more...you're not making any relevant points. If your argument is one is clearly better, refer to the quoted section. If your argument is Ghor-Clan isn't a good card...stop playing magic.
My point is that the new fnms aren't as good as the older ones and I never said Ghor-Clan Rampager was a bad card. I simply stated that go for the throat could be played in a wider variety of decks in comparison to Ghor-Clan Rampager. I just don't feel like I am getting my money's worth by playing in fnm for a card that is easy to obtain just by opening a booster pack. Are you telling me you out of all the gruul cards in RTR block, you would choose Ghor Clan as it's fnm?
Yeah just like 11/12 FNM Promos we got every year...
(when Go For the Throat was the FNM Promo it was also in Standard)(if you say anything about monetary proof: before Go For the Throat was the FNM promo it had the same price tag as Ghor-Clan Rampager have today)

you're making too much sense to get through to this guy. just pretend you agree with him and you're mad we dont have Domri Rade FNM promos.

That would be pretty cool. Not sure I would want that for 10 months in a row, though.
