I saw a post on magic library about this cool foil, here's the link to the post: http://www.magiclibrary.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=2343 . Also, there's an ebay auction for this foil gemstone mine that was said to be awarded to the top 8 finishers of the Amateur Championships at Origins this past Saturday. Im not sure if this also will be the judge's promo foil prize.
I want Gemstone Mines period, regardless of what they look like. They're becoming a hot item in Weatherlight; much like how Force of Will was for Alliances.

Aside from the judges reward Balance I don't normally care for foils, but that is really sweet looking.

Attack one beating chicken of 4 cards, then erase 3 minus from your battleax. Never in your main phase will you do a 4 cards risen, but McDonald of 2 to the punish-bin. Again, beat softly to the end.

Hang on, I need my gibber-to-english dictionary. Ah yes, here it is,
How nice! I miss Gemstone Mine, it was a great card. Not overpowered IMO, just pretty damn good. Too bad they don't usually do counters on Core Sets, or else it would be a great addition.
NOOOOO. Not ANOTHER card I'm going to need four of to pimp out my Stax deck. :(:(:(
If what's being said in those auctions are true, there were only 8 made and in circulation? Hopefully the get passed out somewhere else. Three of them have buy it nows set for $499. Sheeeit. The lowest is set at $99, but the buy it now is higher.
Gemstone Mine is quite good and having the lovely foiled ones woul be quite nice. I can see how people are clammoring for these, but I doubt that there are only 8 total. Oftherwise, these things will be going for thousands.
It would fit, based on what we know about the focus of the set.
Well......not really. Ravnica focuses on 2 color guilds, not a 5 color rainbow house platter so Mine doesnt really make sense, though it would be nice if reprinted but I dont see that anytime happening soon.....
While were on the DCI giveaways="future reprints" subject, well in that case, I guess they should've reprinted Armageddon, Time Warp, Hermit Druid, and Phyrexian Negator in SoK/9th too since those cards have also been DCI handouts;)

I talked with a couple judges who were at Origins, PES, and he said they were given Gemstone Mines for judging that event, so there are more than 8 in existence. My friend Doug finshed second at amateurs tournament and won one plus gets magic for a year.
He wont trade or sell me the Gemstone mine until he finds out what they are worth. He should be able to get more for it now, then he would for it later though.
I find it weird that they choice Gemstone mine as a top 8 card...one would think they'd choose a "higher end" card. Meh, it's better than recieving nothing.
I would really like to see gemstone mine be reprinted.

But I don't get them anyway, so this is just musing.
I am also a DCI Level 1 Judge, if you have any questions don't hesitate to ask them in the Rulings forum.
Don't be surprised.... we all got the Balance, we could get a card this year, and this looks like the sort of thing they'd give us.

It's really sweet to see that the DCI is making good promo cards!

My thoughts exactly....you beat me to it.
