It's ok. I liked the original art better, but they could have done worse.
And as a card, Ancient Ziggurat is not totally useless. people use it all the time in creature heavy aggro decks. I'm even testing swapping out rupture spire for it.

Sure, it's a good card for the casual crowd, but it's never been, nor will it be, good in competitive Magic. As such, it is useless to me.
I'd be a little slower to speak such things about a card that still has several months of standard to possibly find a home, not to mention other decks.
Dark depths was a terrible card. I even used one as a test card for blanking the text box with acetone. now its worth over $20.00. (sad day for me).
In sum: you're not happy because the FNM card isn't AMAZING RIGHT NOW, and you are somehow assuming that means it will never be amazing.
I just hope we get some official word on it soon so we don't all end up arguing about it for years and years. It would be really nice if they'd just clarify things on magicthegathering.com

WoTC, thank you for finally announcing the Modern format, an eternal format where everyone can participate.
wow it's like the original art... but closer. dramatic.. almost "prairie dog" dramatic.
i prefer alt art that looks a bit more alt

I highly doubt anyone with half a brain will be arguing it much beyond the first Friday in march even if we never hear anything official about it.
Haha! I love that you were attentive enough to catch Glimmervoid, but not to catch that the subject of the photo is totally not a dude.

Har har, Leylines reference. Those might actually do well for M11, but that's just speculation. I do like the art, though- I never used Vivid Crag in decks that would use AZ, so no complaints there.
The only deck I have that is creature heavy enough to use this card is my T1 Sliver deck or rats deck (and the rats is mono black). I already have 4 sliver premium foils in the sliver deck. Useless card otherwise. There are much better choices for standard FNM IMHO.
