This promo is the first ever FNM promo to feature a watermark other than the old FNM logo or the shooting star.
The Selesnya watermark looks beautiful in this foil printing however, Anthony Palumbo's centaur seems to be jumping over a bannister. If this card were Instant, I'd be more ok with the centaur's stance. As it stands... Hmmm... I will let you decide.
Regardless, here's another Watchwolf-esque FNM promo to go with your previous Watchwolf FNM promo.
Enjoy April.

Not a fan of the art nor the card choice. Definitely not something that will get me excited about playing FNM. I wish it was just Reliquary Tower every month

With alternative changing art with each one of them?

That would be excellent, but I'm not even asking for that much. I like the art on the promo and wouldn't mind being able to always have them available for each commander deck I make... not that it's really that hard to find the promo

I think it's a fine choice. The card saw quite a bit of Standard play early in the season, mostly in tokens and other W/G/x Aggro decks. But nowadays, a vanilla 3/3 for 2 just isn't aggro enough anymore apparently (doesn't have or grant haste, doesn't pay for itself with mana, etc.). If Tokens becomes a thing again, it might see some play.
And yeah, the art looks weird. The centaur looks more half-pony than half-horse. And her torso looks kinda strange. I like the idea of the "action pose," but it just looks weird.

Level 2 Judge
Currently playing:
Standard: Superfriends!
Legacy: Nic Fit / Pod
Pauper: Delvar; Tron; Flicker Stuff
Commander: Riku ("Some weird doubple spell thing happened"); Keranos ("I did a Gatherer search for 'random' and 'flip a coin.'"); Superfriends!
The card is... meh. Does this even see play? A bad choice for me with an even worse artwork. Looks too much like pit or arena fight, which makes it somehow feel like Gruul or Rakdos.
Besides that it seems to me that they really like Selesnya these days. This month we had Farseek with a highly visible Selesnya symbol in the artwork. Now, after that, we get a real Selesnya card. So, what's up next? Centaur Healer? Selesnya Charm? Rootborn Defenses?
I agree.
As the first RtR promo, I would have definitely preferred Centaur Healer... or just about any one of the Charms. Alt art charms would be amazing.
Pretty awful. Call is decent enough and had the Terese Nielsen art been the promo version, I can all but guarantee they'd be highly sought after. This art however is fail. Reminds me of something Wayne Reynolds would have drawn-arms in a weird thrust back position, chest thrust out, completely out of proportion limbs... To be fair, the original's forelegs look a bit small to me as well, but the composition of the piece is so beautiful that I only noticed it after looking for it.
I had liked the trend Wizards seemed to have going with FNM promos being "commons and uncommons that are seeing play, so people would want them". Really the only one from the last year that didn't was Reliquary Tower, and that is played a lot in EDH. Only token players who finish below 26th in my local tournaments play this card.
The card choice is a little fringe in playability for my taste, but my real problem is why you would issue new art for a card whose original art is fantastic? Alot of the guild charms could use new art, while the art of Terese Nielsen is fantastic already.

Most awkward newly revealed art since the Theros god dude.
Last few FNMs have been top shelf. This is disappointing.
How you should approach every game of Magic.

Call of the Conclave is okay, just underwhelming.

You spelt Farseek wrong.
Seriously though.. fringe playable and the original is way prettier imo.
it really screams "don't F with me"
or "i just had a horse shoved up my butt"
