Seems like we'll start seeing more foil double-sided tokens. Here's a blurb from the WPN page:
We're planning a new in-store Magic league program, and we need your input!
Between October 10 and November 27, any WPN member that participates in our Magic League playtest will be eligible to receive 30 premium, foil, double-sided, promo token cards with a servo on one side and a thopter on the other, for rewarding players at your future events. Tokens will be delivered to participating stores in early 2017.
4. Allow players to add an additional booster to their pools each week and/or after three losses. It’s not necessary to report match results to Wizards, but you're welcome to track wins and losses as you see fit. (For example, you might keep league match cards at the store and have players report results as the league goes on).
is this a single pack after their third loss, or one after every third loss? if it's the first, why not just give 4 packs at the beginning? it's only punishing the successful. if it's the second, good luck ever getting this off the ground. the price to the stores (and thus, to the players) is absurd. it's already at 6 boosters per player, 7 packs puts entry at $20 bare minimum or $30 at retail, with little extra prize beyond the promos. 9+ packs puts it out of most everyone's reach. I hope I'm just overthinking their wording...

I think it's 3 packs at the beginning and if you want you can buy another booster each week. Every third lose grants the right to buy a booster as well. I would love to participate but I haven't seen any lcs advertise about it.
And the fact that I remember when tokens were originally promos makes me feel old lol
At least they threw the occasional wasteland in there to make you feel a bit better.
I miss the player rewards made you actually look forward to playing and getting something back as a thank you. Since not everyone is a judge or gets to go to GP's or Pro tours.
This thread is full of idiots... Lightning Bolt is NOT being reprinted.
Many times has a writer in Wizards said so, because of the plain and simple fact that it's too powerful for what it costs. x/3 creatures shouldn't be able to die at instant speed for one mana without a signifigant drawback. (like PTE giving you a land)
I absolutely guarantee that LB will not be printed in M10, and you can quote me on that.
