Actually if you look at some of the FFL decks people were actually playing the card.
Then again, its R&D so...
You can't trust the FFL, they're the same people that allowed Faeries, Jund, Caw-Blade, etc. out to ravage their respective standard environments. I've seen Encroaching Wastes once and that was in MTGO's Just for Fun room in a casual match where it wasn't even used. That was just a terrible choice.

To be fair, Jund was only dominant for the span of two sets (2010 and Zendikar). Once Jace came out, it was pick one: Elf or Jace. You know which Elf. But hell, things like Boros Bushwhacker were playable until Eldrazi Conscription busted Sovereigns of Lost Alara to hell and turned mythic from a rarity into a deck archetype. Faeries and Caw Blade were legitimate format-warpers, but Jund was just the biggest kid on the playground of Standard.
I think that Banisher Priest would be better if it was a 1/3 like Fiend Hunter, and I already have a bunch of Tectonic Edges, so who cares. For what its worth, I could see a Nykthos-centric deck running one as a singleton to blow up a Nykthos with,

Q_Q @ the damn land card. Piece of ***** card, *****ty art, waste of a promo. At least I wont fell the need to jam in as many FNMs as possible that month. Still we need a good red promo.... Last one was Cackler, which had terrible art. The regular art was just as good or better. I suppose helix fits in burn decks.
Should have made Elvish Mystic the FNM promo...come on...give some love to the casual crowd.
Honestly...even FNM promo basic land with different art is preferable to this waste.
Elvish Mystic is the FNM promo for February.
I really wish they'd give us promos playable in other formats, but some people had to complain that we weren't getting standard playable promos all the time.
