The Chosen, however, does not almost look like elf at all. The dreadlocks everywhere, the ears placed so high on the sides of the head, the slightly indistinguishable space between the hair and his chin that looks like he has a full beard...it looks a LOT more like a kind of satyr.
As for the angel....well, her halo looks like a target mark, and I am glad that laws of physics and anatomy do not apply in Magic....for I cannot imagine how the six wings fit into her slender back. Razia, at least had upper and nether wings, and only four.

Agree, this guy doesn't look much like an elf. The pic looks technically better than the average, but it's not doing much for me.
I still don't see why the hell they put this day on the 31st, and the nearest to me is 1hr plus away and I have a 5 year old who wants to go get candy.
On topic, the art is really good though, although un-elf like it is better then alot of the full-art promos before.

It's understandable blue control players would be shocked and in denial at the notion of this card, since their decks have been dominating multiple formats for an eternity yet they've curiously never once had to deal with any counter-hosers that weren't ineffectual, narrow CRAP.
I'm so glad it's not foiled. Promo foils aren't well-liked by foil collectors because they are easier to get than regular versions, so why even bother? Foil promos should be antiquated, like white-bordered cards.
not impressed. And it takes alot for me to actively admit that I don't like a card art. I think it looks like a new version of the thundercats... not like an elf anyways.
I think Worldwake may change the value of Nissa (and nissa's chosen) if there are some good elves in there. The tribe just need one or two great elves to be viable... Vampire Nocturnus anyone?
I like both arts actually and I'm tempted to play at my own event.... Depends on how many are coming I guess...

Looking for a card alterer that takes commissions specifically on a blank playmat. PM me please.

now to find a game day nearby...
Nah, WoW elves have ears going way back, not up.
Good arts. Almost makes me want to play in the Game Days instead of judge it. Meh, I'll find a T8-er who doesn't want the Angel and trade him for it.
Are you talking about the elf or the angel? Only the angel is foil out of the two of them.

Nah, that is the just the Night Elves. The Nissa's Chosen looks like a Blood Elf. It's eyes even look like they are glowing green...
I was looking forward to the Nissa's more than the Angel really. And it is the worse of the two. The Angel is pretty nifty actually.

isn't there a forum here that we can request custom artwork for cards or something?

--- Drana, Kalastria Bloodchief --- Ghoulcaller Gisa --- Akroma, Angel of Fury --- Titania, Protector of Argoth ---
do you think they will be worth more than foil ones?

It looks insane.
Sad that there won't be any Game Day close to where I live, though....
Not true, game day "Get one free!" cards are alternate art common/uncommon foils such as Naya Sojourners, M10 Gameday Promo.
