Ugin is going to get really bad once all the fatties are colourless. I sold all mine. Sell sell sell!
He's going to be absolutely rotten. Hangarback walker has already nerfed him quite significantly. I reckon he'll be $3 junk within 2 months of rotation
Chandra, Torch of Defiance - Oops! All Chandras.
Prime Speaker Zegana - Draw for Power.
Pir & Toothy - Counterpalooza.
Arcades, the Strategist - Another Brick in the Wall.
Zacama, Primal Calamity - Calamity of Double Mana.
Edgar Markov - Vampires Don't Die.
Child of Alara - Dreamcrusher.
So one thing I don't understand is who specifically gets these? The wording is so nebulous in terms of "associates" of WotC. Honestly, how many of these get printed and how many get given out and how can I freaking get one???
MTGS Wikia Article about "New World Order"
Every time I read a comment about "Well if this card had card draw/trample/haste/indestructible/hexproof/life gain...", I think "You're missing the point." They're armchair developer comments that fail to take into account the card's role in the greater Limited and Standard environment. No, it may not be as good as whatever card you're comparing it to. There's a reason for that. Not every burn spell is Lightning Bolt, nor does it need to be or should be.
PSA to everyone who keeps forgetting about the Reserved List:
You're on a website dedicated to talking about MtG. You're only a few keystrokes away from finding out what cards are on the Reserved List. You're also only a few keystrokes away from finding out why some cards on the Reserved List got foil printings in FtV, as Judge promos, or whatnot, as well as why that won't happen again. Stop doing this.
That is brilliant... I want to slip it into my cube, and see if my playgroup notices.
IIRC, each WotC employee gets one of these? They seem to turn up on The-Auction-Site-That-Shall-Not-Be-Named fast enough.
And one of them actually started turning up on the front of the Walmart repacks about six months ago. So they can be found easily enough if you start hunting.
Choose a food you know your playgroup cannot stand: donate this and the food token (then kill the token), watch them suffer as they choose to either concede or eat the gagh (double evil points if you can put meat in front of a vegetarian).

WOTC employees each get one. Store owners at a certain level get one. Some judges probably get one.
WOTC doesn't release print run data anymore, so it's impossible to know how many are printed, but the short answer is that unless you have a business relationship with WOTC, you will not get one (these are included in their annual holiday card, so if you work in a business that sends out holiday cards to their partner businesses and best customers, think about it that way).
I have a friend who owns a store. Every year he gives me his card in exchange for me making a donation to his favorite charity. But they'll be all over the secondary market, so don't feel like you have to know someone in order to get one.

Usually only higher level store owners and WotC employers get these, but there was pictures last year of Stocking Tigers making their way onto Walmart shelves in blister packs, so maybe they will do that again this year?
Either way I now have to get one, as I just recently started collecting the Holiday cards for my cube. I have all of them except Gifts Given (which just so happens to be the most expensive one :/ ) but typically these show up in the $25-$35 range when they first come out so they aren't that hard to come by on the secondary market.
We have a monthly Cube group, this card will go in. It's already been discussed that the tokens created will be Bertie Bott's Everyflavor beans. "Wrath of God. Enjoy your vomit bean!"

I'm looking to add a "holiday season" expansion to my cube for special occasions.
