Hi everyone! I'm back again! I've got a photo of the CON Pre release card and Release party card, I've check and appearently no one has posted these images up. If it has already been posted. Then please accept my apologies
These are both kind of disappointing, but I guess it's better than using one of the chase cards from the set and lowering the value like they did with Ajani Vengeant.
EDH/Commander is a social format, right? So why don't people use their social skills to discuss what they like and don't like, instead of adopting a list with 60+ banned cards?
thank you so much. malfegor looks bad ass. and it does look like there are masses of land floating about the obelisk.

Take your monoblack deck, then set aside 14 swamps. Add 4 Creeping Tar Pits, 4 Darkslick Shores, 4 Drowned Catacombs, and 2 Jwar isle Refuge and add 4 Jace, the Mindsculptors. Your monoblack deck is instantly better. Better yet, drop those refuges, throw in some islands and some mana leaks, and lo and behold, you're now playing a real deck. Congratulations. Welcome to the world of competitive M:TG.
I like Malfegor... I'm happy that he is the prerelease foil and not the anoying obelisk. BR is one of my favourite color combinations.
I don't see why is good to give Obelisk as the release card. The card itself only usable in limited... but you couldn't use a promo card in those formats... this is stupid
Most promos aren't playable in constructed, so nothing new there. Malfegor isn't so constructed worthy either. Personally, obelisk is going in my ramp deck as a one of. It is fine for constructed in certain decks.

Nice Art on Malfegor can someone see the Flavour Text. I read something like: " A demon can not be trusted, and a Dragon will not be ruled" I now it don´t make much sense but am I right ? ^^

Thanks to DarkNightCavalier from Heroes of the Plane Studios for this sick Signature.
The Malfegor art is nice, but he still looks like a winged centaur and not a demon dragon, so I'm glad that's not the main art.
Why does Obelisk of Alara have a date on it? I thought they only did that for the prerelease cards. I know Ajani has one, but I thought that was just b/c he did double duty as the card for both. I don't remember my promo Figure from the Eventide launch having a date on him...

Really, I've been surprised that this many release cards have been playable in the last few sets. Conflux doesn't really look to be the same, but still... you never know.
This will pretty much cinch me into playing at least one sealed flight at the prerelease, just because I love dragons, and a demon dragon is about as cool as it gets.
The Obelisk, OTOH, pretty much cinches that I will not play in the release event. What a terrible promo.

I have to agree with Lollol3r, these cards are quite lacking in the power level and same goes for its artwork (Just like the Ajani). And if you check neither of those is a planeswalker, effective finisher, or a efficient beater.
If they really wanted to wow us, they could of made the promo Bolas.
Well having a promo be a planeswalker would be much cooler then the dragon.
In terms of just cool factor Planeswalker > legendary creature or decent playable rare.
Closest deck i think that might use that dragon, would be in the dragonstorm deck. But that's a maybe, i think knollspine dragon is a better card then that him.
Thats all for me for this set, I will provide more information for next set Take care everyone ^^
Both of the arts are meh. Maybe they'll look better in person.
Reading the dates stamped on the cards is svg tch.
Malfegor is Prerelease, and the Obelisk is Release.
The MR will be the card for the pre release. The normal R will be the card for the Release party.
Is it just me or are pieces of land flying around the Obelisk?
Let this great clan rest in peace (2001-2011)

I really hope the regular version doesn look like such a rip off. Obelisk looks rather dull.
Looks like i will be drafting.
Ajani Vengeant, Demigod of Revenge and Figure of Destiny would like a word with you.
