Nice art on the Avacyn. Homeward Path is throwing the EDH players a bone. I have 6 foiled out decks (a 7th in progress) and I know Path is in at least 3 of them so I appreciate the upgrade. Hopefully it follows a price trajectory similar to Command Beacon, which settled at $13 (although realistically I'm predicting ~$25 after the initial rush).
Who do I have to assassinate to get the Judge Foil Avacyn?
My guess is that the secondary market on Avacyn won't be that bad. Her reprinting as a foil in FTV Angels crashed the pack foil price HARD, and the FTV will still be the go-to foil for those on a budget or just watching their card costs in general. If FTV goes for $26 and a pack foil for about $52, I'd expect this to settle in around $40, give or take $5. Just my hunch.
I don't usually go for alt-art cards, especially not premium ones...but I really, really like this art. Like damn...

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.
They overdid the green a bit imo. (although it is the color of hope and the origial artwork had it as well)
It's still nice but I prefer the old art.
I think that's probably just the foil effect that shows up when they show cards digitally. I highly doubt her armor and spear will be green. They're just showing that those parts will be the foiled portions.
The art itself is nice. But I feel like it depicts a moment rather than a creature? But maybe that's just because this is like the first art ever on a angel creature card of an angel actually stabbing something, lol.
I had to do a double take that they didn't just copy/paste the art from Cloudshift. lol.
Coincidentally those are both from the same artist...

Good to know I'm not the only one who prefers the old Avacyn art. It's not bad, but not as good as the original. Homeward path is looking pretty good though.
that avacyn art isn't terrible... if i'm shooting for a foil one though i'd much rather have the original art. can't quite explain why this one does nothing for me, but i find it very forgettable and bland.
Unhappy about avacyn. It being a Judge promo does nothing to lower its market price.
Good thing then that as far as cards go, Avacyn isn't exactly in the upper eschelons of high-priced cards. A bit of a shame for the judges though, I'd rather they get some truly pricey cards for their efforts rather than a roughly 15 euro card, but alas.

They already have foil avacyns, but the art is better IMO. Homeward Path needed a foil, too bad it has that colourless mana symbol. I can't wait to see what colourless creatures come out in the next few sets that require generic colourless mana to necessitate that symbol.
