This promo is just terrible. I can't believe they would do this so soon after it was banned in EDH.
Primeval Titan was only banned in EDH three months ago. Cards get printed further in advance than that. Besides, it sees play in Modern (Scapeshift/Valakut).

If they put thoughtseize at mythic I leave magic. Should have been uncommon for starters.
Absolutely. Cashseize at rare still remains one of the biggest slaps in the face that Wizards ever did with rarity. No reason at all for it to be there.
GP Schedule looks nice, but I wish they would have more big stuff around Boston (which is already a long enough southward-bound haul). Or give Midwest/Southwest bros some more love.
I bet they're also a little peeved at the rules council for killing Prime Time. Wizards would also do well to avoid making a Consecrated Sphinx promo any time soon.
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.

Yeah the (much) lesser competitive versions of Scapeshift....

I speak in sarcasm because calling people ******* ******** is not allowed.
Why do you supposed they stuck to 1200 for the turnout requirement for more invites? I would still think top 8ing a GP of 1000+ is still pretty much a monumental feat. Perhaps they feel the cost of tickets for 8 instead of 4 would be offset by the larger number of people.

Dohoho! I see what you did there. No, this feels more like them completing the promo cycle of titans. The fall promo could be anything, but will probably be modern legal if I had to put my money anywhere.
GP Oakland is M14 limited and the other two I can easily travel to are Modern (SD/Portland). That sucks.
A Pro Tour in Dublin is nice though. Looks like I'll be going all out that PTQ season. Would love to take a trip back home.

Have they updated it, or am I looking at the wrong place?
