Wow really wizards? Why buck convention and give out a foil common instead of a rare? The pic is sweet, but it is sad.
However, free cards are free so no real reason to complain I guess.
BTW the cancel is freakin awesome is that Barron?
What mono color spell (chase rare) were they going to give out from Shards Block? Banefire? Its not like they had a lot of options. Lightning Bolt is a solid pick and is easily worth nearly as much as the promo ***/Damnation/Cryptic.

Does it have to be mono color? The coolest textless by far and away would have been cruel ultimatum.

Keep in mind that the textless cards are commons, too.
Seeing Cancel on this list makes me sad for blue players. Then again, I'm optimistic because they just printed textless Remove Soul and made it useless rather quickly.
I realize just after the wrath, damnation, and cryptic, I was hoping for a pulse or some chase rare like that as I missed out on the other textless rares.
Well they've never done a multicolor textless spell (foil premium), but Maelstrom Pulse was a decent possibility I guess.

They've done what, three foil textless spells so far? Cryptic Command alone would make me think that they could break boundaries like "This needs to be monocolor," if they broke "This has to be a spell that people don't need the oracle text for half of the time."
Seriously? If they wanted to give us an m10 rare or waited until Zendikar, I would have been fine with that. Even if the FOIL was Day of Judgement, which I think would take some player-hate off of WotC for not reprinting ***, I would have been happy? With Bolt? I don't know what to say...guess I'll trade bait it off. :/

Cryptic Command was so well known it didn't really matter if it was textless.

Who said it had to be mono-color? Also, doesn't even have to be simple, as proven by Cryptic.

I've had to call judges to my games many times because my opponents couldn't tell me the order of the modes, or if the "tap creatures" mode has a target. It's been important, too.

Its soooo lame! I cant belive this....
They've done what, three foil textless spells so far? Cryptic Command alone would make me think that they could break boundaries like "This needs to be monocolor," if they broke "This has to be a spell that people don't need the oracle text for half of the time."
I'm guessing that the next foil after this will be a green spell considering that they have now done white, blue, black, and red.
As for the foil Lightning Bolt, the art is pretty sweet, I'm just curious how much these are going to go for.
Cancel?
FOIL Bolt? :@
Seriously? If they wanted to give us an m10 rare or waited until Zendikar, I would have been fine with that. Even if the FOIL was Day of Judgement, which I think would take some player-hate off of WotC for not reprinting ***, I would have been happy? With Bolt?

Better choices, IMO:
1.) Banefire
2.) Maelstrom Pulse
3.) Cruel Ultimatum
4.) Violent Ultimatum
5.) Silence
6.) Time Warp
