This batch of Judge foils is crazy good. Not a bad card in the bunch, and the Elesh Norn, the Sword and especially the Force of Will are basically printing money. One hell of a 'thank you'/bonus to the judges! I'm scared to think how expensive the Forces might get.
I wish my 4/4s with haste and first strike that acted as Goblin Warchiefs were better and didn't die to instants and overshadowed all other 4 drops in the format. And that they had evasion too, and some way to dodge wrath effects.
I only quickly glanced at the Elesh Norn and thought it was Sanskrit. Needless to say, I was quite surprised upon a closer examination and totally want one now. They need to make the other 4 Praetors like this as well, or at least my favorite, Jin-Gitaxias.
And yeah, I want that Oloro, like now. The Force of Will is awesome, too, but I would need 4 and that doesn't seem too easy on my wallet. lol
They're all great promos but realistically I'm only going to try to get one of them and a cheap one at that. How much do you think the Greater Good will go for?
Last 2 years ago, some my friends decide to become a judge and ask me to try the judge exam.
He said that become a judge, you get the a cool promo. While stay as player, you get suck product.
I think it bull*****, now I really feel that he is correct.
I like the cards, bummed at the overall quality. Really bad when it comes to value for judges working events. These all look to be $30-40 judge foils. (ignoring the Fow) Almost all of them are casual only, which don't tend to hold high Judge foil value when they are in print. Judge packets are not going to Buy side for much at events which makes it harder for judges to travel for GPs.
The Elesh Norn was the card they teased her with during the lead up to New Phyrexia. It was a huge disappointment to many people that they never actually released the phyrexian text version. I mean there was a whole thread was dedicated to the translation. It'll be a hot item.
I'm not sure how much money I need to spend but I'm getting that riku and a playset of elesh if I to whore myself out on a corner.
Honestly that statement killed me, sums up mtg's effect on me in a nutshell. Do you mind if I use that quote in my signature because I honestly can't get over how often I think like that.
Classic is classic, but that new art is still fantastic.

I mean obviously this is their only printing in foil so that's something, but that seems like ridiculously quick turnaround.
Feel free to bid on my cards here!
Little bit disappointed on the FoW, but it's still great to see a foil version.

I would not be surprised if that FoW is worth a thousand dollars or more. It's certain to be rarer than a Beta Underground Sea.
Edit: SoFaF looks spectacular and makes me nostalgic for pre-8E foils...
