At mine T4 gets the FNM promo. Additionally, T8 gets to choose between an old FNM promo, old release promos, and WPN promos. Last week I got an O Ring and an Ant Queen. The two randoms don't work at my store b/c people tend to drop if they're 0-2 and so we generally end up with 4-5 players left at the end of each FNM. >.< If Wizards thinks people really destroy promos after their appointed month or event they're fools. In the past everyone who came to FNM got the FNM promo but back then we had at least 16 people coming each week and so we got more promos. Bah this thread isn't about FNM promo distribution or the ethics of going against official policies....:facepalm:

Some FNM's here get cancelled due to lack of interest, though, so it sometimes is upwards to 6/FNM.

Somehow I have trouble believing a person who's only posts are two trolls and this. Unless we get scans or someone else chiming in I wouldn't hold my breath.
Apart from that, it's a good pick if it's real.
This^^
Plus, it seems kinda odd that we recently had the FNM StE spoiled and already someone apparently knows what next months is.

Not all the time in Alt art better (Kitchen Finks, Sakura-Tribe Koopa).
This time, I'm interested. It's playable, which is nice.
You do realize that =! is programming lingo for "does not equal," right?
Other than that, as other people have stated, this will be a great promo if it's real, and if it's not, oh well. Looking forward to the alternate art if it is.
not to excited for this one. It seems like they could find a cards that sees fair amounts of play if they are going to do a standard legal card. Like someone said, Borderland Ranger is something I could get behind. Maybe Flashfreeze, Goblin Ruinblaster, or even Bloodbraid Elf could get the nod. I would be much more excited about all of those cards.
Why would anyone want to destroy the promos after the month is over if they have spares? o.O
Wizards says you have to destroy promos that haven't been given away after a certain date. I think its to prevent stores from selling them as singles. I don't know of any stores that sell promos as singles w/o giving any away. My store lets people trade them in for store credit or packs and then they sell them.

That makes sense from a sales standpoint I suppose as Wizards is giving them promotional materials to distribute and they have no way of telling whether or not they are selling them or not after the fact. However I think it's silly because if you have alot of people that are taking part in an event and want to give out a card each for participating. That would make it easier if you had extra from previous events.
at my store, they give 4 promo cards. 1 for the winner, 1 for the youngest guy playing and 2 randomly. I'm especially angry by the fact it's allways the same guys who get the card for the youngest player.
Every time i start yelling about that, they just tell me that this is a rule enforced by wizard. Anyone can tell me where i can see the rules for FNM promo cards distribution?
sounds like they're trying to cover their ass. if that was a WOTC rule, then the store I go to would have to give out a fourth promo (first place, random, last place, and then this youngest tripe). to put it bluntly, it's bull ☺☺☺☺.
Take your monoblack deck, then set aside 14 swamps. Add 4 Creeping Tar Pits, 4 Darkslick Shores, 4 Drowned Catacombs, and 2 Jwar isle Refuge and add 4 Jace, the Mindsculptors. Your monoblack deck is instantly better. Better yet, drop those refuges, throw in some islands and some mana leaks, and lo and behold, you're now playing a real deck. Congratulations. Welcome to the world of competitive M:TG.

On one hand, Tidehollow Sculler and NEW ART are both things that are super awesome and I somehow wish to acquire 80 of. Unless the art just looks like vomit, then I'd only want 40.
On the other, Sculler isn't long for this world and doesn't have many decks he fits in right now since even Junk decks with Black are mostly GW anyway.
Also, confused point of contention: Why is STE an Extended card and the promo for December between two Standard cards that rotate out next block? That seems like a very confusing bounce-around from Wizards for me.

Bloodbraid Elf and Bit Blast sorely need to become FNM promos before their time is up.

The only good thing about this post is the edible chocolate roaches they gave out! Mmm mmm!
*crawl crawl*
Wait a minute, edible roaches don't crawl! EDIBLE ROACHES DON'T CRAWL!
I'm calling BS on this one. We just received the December FNM info, and the January sign-up period isn't even over with, yet. There is no bloody way anyone has actually RECEIVED their Jan FNM cards yet.
Being fairly new to Magic I have a query (slightly off topic). How does someone get one of the FNM cards? Do you have to win FNM ? Or do you get it just for participating?

QFT. How could anyone actually have received it yet?

I'm a core level organizer. Just to clarify the rule on the distribution of FNM promos, WIZARDS says:
Friday Night Magic Rules
- 1st and 2nd place receive one prize card each.
- Door prize – The tournament organizer will randomly award the remaining two prize cards to two players that did not place first or second.
Anything other than that is a violation of the policy. If you have a problem with how your store does it, contact Wizards.
...on the other note regarding the FNM promos, I JUST received my Sakura-Tribe Elders for December. I usually get mine a week or so before the next month begins. I will say this though...it does seem like that foreign organizers usually spoil the FNM promos before I get mine in the States. I'm not saying he's lying or telling the truth, but lets see the scans.
