I can't help but assume that they are tapping into the internet's apparent disdain for the Jacetice league. I know I want a zombified Jace and Nissa (two characers I've long felt WOTC has done a poor job managing) so, really, good... job?
I think it's more of a Walking Dead is a big thing for NYCC/SDCC and the setting/timing was perfect to have a zombie theme. I predicted that it was going to be these 5 walkers, but no idea what the theme would be (thought it would be black on black again). Pleasantly surprised
Meh, really not a fan of these. Definitely a let down. I won't be buying these except for maybe the Liliana for my EDH cube, and I have bought the last three years black on black promos
These are hilarious. I thought the latter ones were supposed to be Eldrazified for a little bit (while just looking at the "top row" of Gideon and Jace), but then I looked back at Liliana, and I remembered that she's a necromancer and everything immediately made way more sense.
Chandra reminds me of Shadowmoor's Cinders. Which is appropriate, I suppose. I'd totally want a copy of Chandra, Ashcaller if not for the fact that they'll be prohibitively expensive because of the exclusiveness.

Can't say that I like these, I'm just not a fan of the whole "make a zombified version" of something. Having them be corrupted by Emrakul probably could have been a little neater, at least to me. I will say though that I don't mind promos that I don't like, means I don't have to think of a way to get a hold of them.
I really don't like the "new" art for these. It's really...Meh. I'd prefer the black on black SDCC ones. Would have liked to see Nahiri or something in here. Not just the same five/six planeswalkers over and over.
Um....okay. When I said I wanted Innistrad versions of the Gatewatch, this is not what I had in mind. Well, you get what you ask for. I guess the art is pretty cool, especially Jace and Liliana.

This is beautiful, I'm super down for these promos. I wonder if they'll do similar themes revolving around the other members of the Gatewatch in the future. It would be great to see all of them on fire via Chandra.
Here they are in attachment form...
I'm getting mixed messages WOTC.

Okay, enough talky-talk. Check out these amazing promos available at San Diego Comic-Con this year (and yes, they are foil)!
The article specifies they're foil.
I wish I could pick these up at NYCC.
What if they were double faced, with the back side being the Emrakul afflicted art ? How neato would that be?
Selling some cards I don't want.
Generally less than tcg mid.
