Like the title of the thread says. TOs were emailed by Wizards this morning, and mentioned in the email was that anyone purchasing Duels of the Planeswalkers on Steam would receive a voucher to claim a foil Nissa Revane promo from their local retail shop (as well as two free decks). I signed my shop up for the promo earlier today, and the sign-up said the kit included 30 foil premium cards and 60 decks. Presumably this is one kit per store, but new foil planeswalkers are pretty sweet.
They didn't include pictures in the email, but other TOs should be able to verify the legitimacy of this. The decks will probably be crappy mono-coloured 30 card decks filled with random core set crap. That's what they were for the Xbox promotion similar to this. This promotion made it sound like these were new versions of those decks (as in, probably M10 crap rather than 10th edition crap), but I'm sure they're the same basic idea. They may even be the same decks and not new at all.
Correct me if I am remembering wrong but there was special alternate art for the X Box Promo Garruk so here is to hoping for special art for Nissa, if so I am definitely getting one.
Here's to hoping they use the same set symbol for it as they did Garruk.

Yeah, the Xbox Garruk had alternate art. I collect playsets of cards with each different piece of artwork for each planeswalker, and as if getting my playset of Xbox Garruks and book-promo Jaces wasn't hard enough, I now have to track down a playset of these if they have new art. (:

Why would they mail the Foil Nissa to your local retail shop so you could pick them up? How many would each store get? And if you don't have a store in the area?
I imagine they're doing it to save on shipping. It probably cost them a fortune mailing all those Garruks out individually rather than just mailing 30 at a time to each store and letting the stores distribute them.
And the answer is 30. That's how many each store will receive (if they sign up for the program).
Gah, now this gives me a reason to get this on Steam. Though Nissa is my least favorite planeswalker (come on, she's not even good in EDH!). I'm kind of considering getting this now though.
As much as I HATE that elf *****, I planned on getting DotP on Steam when it was released. Ah well, my 'Walker Collection could use her. Hope she has new art at the very least.
And I agree, if it's the Steam Logo... Totally. Worth. It.
So what happens if you purchased the new expansion on xbox live the day it came out? Do we get hosed for wanting to support the product insted of waiting?:mad:
$9.99, comes with the first expansion: "Duel the Dragon".
Missed out on the Garruk promo, so I might be picking this up.
$9.99 for a FOIL planeswalker, 2x decks, a game and a game expansion? Sounds like a helluvadeal to me. The 'walker would be worth like half that at least if not more. She is foil after all. Hoping for Alt-Art.
The decks are worthless, its a crappy 30 cards deck (10 lands) and 2 uncommons, the rest are commons.
I just wonder if they will fix it from the xbox promo people abused. I got myself sent over 25 Garruk Promos and a ton of the free decks and only bought the game once.
Was also wondering where TC is from, in Europe they did it with the voucher you take to the store for 360 but mailed it to US players. Wondering if they are doing the voucher everywhere this time.

Steam can suck it. I hate them. I would give Wizards money for nothing just to NOT sell their products over Steam.

I can't express enough the joy in reading that.

Wouldn't that not be giving them money for nothing? That would be giving them money for NOT doing something.
Anyway, this is a pretty sweet deal even though the decks suck. I'll probably have to pick it up. If only it was free roaming like Shandalar...
