has anyone else opened a 2-player starter set to confirm this?
It's kind of cool, but stupid at the same time as it lowers the value of the Serra Angel foil. And even though Serra Angel isn't really tournament worthy, her foil has always been in demand.
I think Serra Angel will see a lot more play now that it has new art.
That may be the single most retarded thing ever said in this forum ever.
Could you explain your reasoning? People don't play cards in tournaments because of the card art. That doesn't exactly have any effect upon the game at all. God, my brain just... can't... AAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHH!!!!

Now that I've gotten that out of my system, on to the card.
I like how the new art looks kind of baroque in a way, it kind of enhances the foil's look, too. They should design cards with how they'd look as a foil in mind. I will buy one set, since I like to have different versions of a card in my decks. I.e. I have a playset of serras in a deck of mine. I'll keep a beta version, a 7th/8th foil, a 9th foil and... another one...

i swear, i think it should be obvious they are doing that already. if you look at the pics they chose for 9E, and the redone arts, they all accentuate the foilage. all of them.
and thank god for new arts. no more Ms. Pointy Serra.
I really don't see why this was all that surprising to people. As far as I know, the foil that you get was always on the front of the box. I know at least Elvish Champion and Rhox were that way. Why else would they have put Serra Angel on the box?

Every time I destroy an opponent's creature, I jump on the table, yell "Boo ya, you son of a *****!", rip the card in half, urinate on it, then forcefully shove it down my opponent's throat.
Needless to say, I don't have many players in my playgroup anymore.
There are getting to be a good number of foil serra's on ebay, if you are in another country and looking to grab one relativly cheap. As more flood ebay the prices should go down.
Unfortunately, no. The release of 9th Edition on MTGO is August 29th, the release events being August 30th. The product code that comes in the pack is merely a user registration code so you can register an account. They send you a coupon to use for $9.95 in their online store, and it can be spent on any product there rather than just 9th.
What your friend bought is called "Fast Track". It's different (and in a smaller package) compared to the Starter Game, that has the Foil Serra Angel.
i swear, for a second i thought that his friend bought literally a Starter deck, from the actual product the Starter "expansion." scared me for a minute. i'd hate to get gypped like that.
A reason to buy the two player Starter game? Sign me up. 2 foil promo Serra's, one foil 9th Serra. Sounds good to me.
Wait a couple of weeks and you will be able to pick up a playset of them for the price off one starter set. All of you people may make fun of my 7th and 8th edition angels but they will have more value than your 9th edition ones. Stupid wizards ruining the value of a decent card.

People are products of their own ingenuity; they are who they choose to be.
I dont think serra angel will play more just because it has a nice art...
Du u have any idea of how much will cost a foil serra angel? I think it wont cost much because he comes in this box..
I don't know about later on but right now, but I'm going to play it liek Super Secret Teech and acquire as many as possible and trade them away as quickly as I can before everyone finds out how rare they really aren't and their market value drops. But until then, it's a great way for me to fill out some sets through trading.

This might sound stupid but it almost looks like its shinier than previous foil cards... As though they've improved the foiling process... That or its just being flooded with light in that scan...
Some cards just take the foiling process better then others. The foil Serra is clearly foil even from across the table, whereas my foil 8th edition fallen angels dont appear foil unless held at the right angle. The closer to white the background color is, the more it appears to shine.

Wow, I guess some people really hate jokes about the play value of a piece of artwork :winky: .

Quails eating Doritos?
Yeah, this is interesting. At least now they're actually making the starter set worth getting.
