Hey everybody, if you look at the gatherer utility it has ads for various magic tournaments. One of the Vintage champs at Gen Con ads has picture of what appears to be a promo AR with the new frame and everything.
I believe it's just new artwork that also happens to have a mock-up of th new boarder to make it look cooler. Dear god, though... they really should re-comission all of the power 9 and start handing them out as prizes for big T1 events, it'd get people back into it and it'd make the SCG P9 look small in comparisson, even without proxies allowed.
it was actually just a HUGE version. they didn't print a regular sized version of it. just an "artist's rendering" of how a new Ancestral would look.

Its given to the winner right.
Wasnt it in one of MTG(Offical sites) articals.
Yes you are correct.
Wizards should print real promo versions of these cards and give them to the winners of these tournaments. Type 1 would blow up in popularity, and possibly circumvent the reserved list. Only in a dream, though.:sigh:
Not a rumor, just a print of a painting.
You know how they give out ultrasuperOMGWTFBBQ cards for winning Yu-Gi-Oh tourneys? Those cards fetch tens of thousands on ebay. Wizards should do crap like this for Grand Prix and stuff and basically print off their own money due to secondary market. Plus it would draw in SOOOO many people I mean come on. GP Columbus- Winner recieves 1 foil Black Lotus- I know I'd be there.

No, you dont understand. Its only money for 1 resell...
They give the prize as a card just a normal card. Nothing special is on the card and its not packaged specially, no promo foil or anything. So for the moment, yes, its the only version of this card.
Now Understand..the following is important.
Now that special 1st place card looks no different from the version they will reprint in 3 months. This is public knowelege.
Thats right, your 1 of a kind card became one of 100,000. And nothing sets your 1 of a kind card apart. So the idot that just bought that on ebay for $10,000 now has a $5 card.
That would be like Wizards, Giving away a normal AR, then reprinting it in mass production in Ravnica.
Not only that, but Wizards letting you know 3 months ahead of time, that it WILL be reprinted with no visual difference. Then you go and buy it on ebay for 10,000$.
Jedit... I may be incorrect on this, but they seem to be indicating that the prize is Artwork that looks like a card (and is several tims larger), not a playable card. I'm saying if these were the prizes and were in the form of something playable their value would huge, at least the first time around.
It is a painting, with a mock-up new card face matting for the border. This is the third year they have done this at GenCon, but the first in which it was framed with the mock-up card face. 03 they gave out the lotus to CrazyCarl, 04 Windfall won the timetwister, this year it is ancestral.
As cool as promo P9 cards would be, WOTC is very concerned with the secondary market values of the cards on the reserved list. Perhaps they should do a poll on their website to see what people think about releasing limited ed. P9 promos.

am i too slow??? i just don't understand
they are reprinting ancestral recall?? just to give that card the value it deserves, i can promise you they won't reprint it...
if it is reprinted, it doesn't matter anyway, because just the "flavor text" will make it more expensive

random, useless knowledge:
if we could line up every person that lives in china, and try to reach the last one walking, we would never be able to do it, because of it's demographic growth would get bigger and bigger and we could not be able to reach the end
@ MykeXero...you're right...I have no idea what you are talking about. My suggestion was quite simple, make 1 copy of a foil black lotus with the new borders that can legally be used in tournaments and makle it the prize of some large magic event...no one thinks that would rock?

He was talking about Yugioh.
Winners of special tournaments get cards that are in all respects identical to the versions that will be printed in upcoming sets.
We don't want that in Magic.
Maybe this reality is actually an alternate reality of a reality in which New Phyrexia was the joke expansion and Mirrodin Pure was the obvious expansion, except our reality is the Time Shifted reality which is opposite of that other reality which is that actual reality.
@botlgnomz: thanks for clarifying, it really stumped me....so, it's good news no ancient recall for a long time
