Since When is watchwolf crap? Also sakura tribe would be pretty awesome, even with the new m10 rules.
Watchwolf is far from crap; it's just been underwhelming when compared to the recent power creep of creatures.
I actually wish the promo was for a completely new card other than STE, which was a promo before in the 2006 JSS season. Don't get me wrong though, STE is still an excellent excellent card.
Well silly type two people are always gonna go to FNM...making FNM promos that draw in other players sounds like a good way to expand FNM participation to me.
Damage on the stack didn't matter that much with STE (he's a 1/1 that can only trade with X/1's and how many of those are playable?). It's more he can block a 5/6 goyf, then sack, get a land, and you didn't take the damage. That's STE's purpose now.
I'd like a promo of him; I'd like to see him with new art.
And watchwolf crap? You have got to be kidding me unless you dislike the art or something.
Lightning greaves is an EDH staple IMO I mean really giving your general shroud seems good...along with being able to swing the turn it enters the "battlefield".
FNM promo's are almost always meh if you want real promo's then aim at judge handouts or things not stamped with 'FNM'. There are some good FNM promo's but some are really junky.

"Yawgmoth," Freyalise whispered as she set the bomb, "now you will pay for your treachery."
Actually, FNM promos have been great recently, just the arts been sub-par. Browbeat is a great card for red, there are few red card draw spells.
Hope to get my hands on one or two of these!!

Well, the art wasn't that great. Also, Watchwolf simply isn't good enough to be playable. A 3/3 for 2 is nice and all, but I'd rather play gaddock teeg. Watchwolf hasn't really been played in extended since Teeg got printed. And I don't really see watchwolf getting played in EDH either, since he still doesn't do anything. I don't even play Tarmogoyf in EDH because all he does is swing. Whoopdeedoo.
That said, STE would be nice as a promo, but with the JSS promos out there it seems a little unnecessary. I'm hoping they give us something a little more exciting.

A card game about Presidents. Stabbing each other. With knives.
I miss the days (long ago) when they printed promo foils of classic things that never got the foil treatment. I have been waiting 8 or 10 years for my foil Hymn to Torach (a different art every week? :3) I guess I wait til next month, again

a 3/3 for 2 not playable??? Really? I can tell you I would be playing it if it were in standard right now. Wild Nactl is played in Extended in almost every zoo deck, and it can be a 3/3 that swings on turn 2, this is only mildly worse because it can't swing until turn 3, however you don't have to have any corresponding lands out to make it 3/3. The card is a bomb.
And that along with your last sentence regarding goyf makes me wonder if you play the game?

Standard and extended are two different animals. Nacatl is quick and dirty, easier to cast, and is way above the curve. Watchwolf is above the curve, sure, but that slot is better off going to the slightly smaller way more useful gaddock teeg than a random 3/3 that cries when your opponent wraths or drops engineered explosives. Sure, I'd totally play watchwolf in standard, too, but we don't have it right now. It's in extended, but it's not good enough for the format.

Yeah, I'm not going to feed the troll there.

(M:tG) It's a hobby which costs money. You can't play golf without the right clubs and a membership for the golf court, you can't play paintball with a cardboard armor and a sling, you can't go to the movies without paying for a ticket and you can't play Magic without owning the cards. Simple as that.
Wow, that really is quite ugly. It pretty much lost any of the Kamigawa feel and just seems like your standard fantasy 'snake-people'.
Btw, I'm not sure why people are flaming the dude who said Watchwolf is crap. Sure, 'crap' is a ridiculous word to use, and perhaps a little over the top, but one has to admit Watchwolf has lost pretty much all of its previous glory. It is now outclassed by two very important creatures: this and that.
So, yes, it might not be 'crap', but it's certainly not what it used to be.
Don't like the new art(the old one wasn't great but the new one is just boring), don't like the new flavor text(if they're going to change the flavor text they should do something creative with it instead of just tweaking the original a bit), but i've always been a huge fan of STE and it well and truly deserved to become an FNM card.
Are you daft? Ligthning greaves is like an auto include in EVERY creature based EDH deck!!!
Now, I'm not alone.

Why not? Cradle was already a judge foil.
Any way, I love the elder. Not standard legal, but I like the prospect of new art.

PS. STE is pretty techy as mainboard Dredge hate...
Original STE had such character and personality, while this new art is so rigid and bland.
