It's like WotC actually believed a ****tier Dust Bowl would actually be well received.
Also, the banisher's legs and torso are displaced. Zapata should have paid more attention to the anatomy and composition before wasting so much time rendering.

Yes sir, I take fantasy art and character design commissions, PM me for rates.
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.
It probably should against Devotion decks for Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx & Mutavault but most decks are using up the same slot for those very cards lol.
Why beat em when you can join em sorta eh? makes sense. I forgot that this wasteland was a thing

The true mind can weather all the lies and illusions without being lost. The true heart can tough the poison of hatred without being harmed. Since beginning-less time, darkness thrives in the void but always yields to purifying light.
I invision a future where one is not mighty when he can silence a crowd with brutality,
but when he leaves them speechless with wisdom.
i still dont see the point in ****ty promos for fnm.
if this is to entice people they need to pick better cards, mediocre cards like these arent making me want to go to fnm. People already going to fnm... well its irrelevant what the promo is as that person is already there.

Maybe playable FNM promos are too valuable? Idk. Anyways, I already got my playsets of FNM Experiment One, Ghor-Clan Rampager, and Rakdos Cackler, so I'm content.
Because it's a good card, it sees play in a lot of formats, many people already have a play set that they could use, and folks would have loved an alternate art foil version.
For something where you can only put 12 cards in it a year, why would you want an entire month to be wasted?

I don't see it as defeatist, more like stating an observation. WotC plans these promos out ( like all their sets ) well in advance, not only that but they also considers these cards to be playable in some format when they design them. They probably thought Encroaching Wastes would see play to counteract Shrine to Nyx, but they were too cautious given their current stance on LD.
Not everyone can afford Wasteland. I run it my EDH deck.
Also, the reason they pick these cards is because they're representative of the sets. It's no surprise that both cards are from M14, but not every promo can be Scavenging Ooze.

Stay reasonable, be mindful of your expectations and don't feed the trolls.

good in the sense that it was a great game, bad in the sense that i could have used any video game from the 90's for my comment. it's cheesy looking.

I recently started getting into sanctioned play with Magic 2014. Are you saying there was a time when we had Modern FNM promos?
