The 24x36 wall art is printed on MtG card stock? I always thought WotC was careful to only use the card stock for um... well, cards.
You can get this from Hasbros website? Where? I missed the linky.
Not sure if you're asking about where to get the whole set or the Bolas art... If you're asking about the Bolas art, you prob can't get it separately. If you're asking about the entire 6 card set which includes the art, it's available on the Hasbro website, usually the Monday after Comic Con. Quantities are always very limited and it only ships to the US. From my experience you have just minutes to get one before they sell out.
I wish we had a chance to buy each individually on their website for $30 each at least… I want Jace and Gideon but the whole set? It's too expensive for me. Sad that such cool thematic art is wasted on such horrendously dismal releases like these promos. Ruins all the fun in a game. There's already a lot to collect.
Lilliana is my favorite as far as art, but I like all of them honestly. Jace and Gideon are the ones I want, but this just isn't reasonable. I have no choice but to pass, sadly.
What sucks is I've been hoping for a Jace, Unravler of Secrets promo with new art. The original doesn't look good to me. But he's my favorite Jace in terms of abilities so far…
I get the idea...but good lord they need to stop this. The invocations were bad enough with the whole frame being "on theme."
I just don't think the style translates well to a magic card for these or the invocations. I don't blame the artist, he was just trying to work within the boundaries that he was provided. But, these are bad and that price is ridiculous...laughable, really.
The only thing I enjoy about this is that they're clearly depicting the story. Unfortunately, it misses that point because half the story details are hidden behind card frame
Not going to lie, kind of ruined my day. I wonder if there's a chance to get at least Jace for a reasonable price? Any collectors see the price drop on these in the past who can answer? The art seems unpopular so hopefully?
Added in the images. I really dislike the whole SDCC promo scheme..."Oh hey you're not going to SD Comiccon? GOOD LUCK GETTING THEM! But wait, in our everloving generosity we'll allow you to have a chance of buying them from our website...HAHA SYKE YOURE NOT IN THE USA!" Hate it.
Probably my favorite post on this site. Even those of us in the USA aren't getting these damn things. You'd think with all the love WOTC wants us to feel for the Gatewatch, obtaining cool prints of them would be more accessible. Instead, already difficult cards to obtain just went up another $80. For basically no reason other than punishing collectors who don't go to cons out in California. Last I checked, MTG is a GLOBAL game. Want to preserve secondary market and reserve list? Fine. But this? At least Invocations sold packs. What purpose is this serving?
*deep breath* okay this will be my final rant on this matter, I promise. Damn who know I had any Red in me. Forgive me Thassa tbh
I personally like them. I also enjoy the deviation in the art style in this. Because I'm going to be quite frank about this. So much of the recent art in sets has had this samey look to them. In which I blame the current art director. So when I see this with a different art style, I'm very happy about it. Besides, if your not a fan of the artwork, I will happily take those off your hands for you.

It's funny to think how the market has shifted so much. Remember how loud people squawked when Nalathni Dragon was an exclusive?
Oh well, if there was one takeaway, functional reprints are OK. Yaay...
This would have been a terrible purchase at the $110 price it was last year... At $180? These are going to sit on the shelves. That's great news for me though, because I'll be AT con, and not camping out overnight for the Hasbro booth. There will DEFINITELY be plenty of these leftover by the end of each day when they open the booth up.
Also, extra lolz for the rerun Jace. Not even a good Jace either. This set of walkers is pretty awful overall, it's basically just Chandra, sort of Gideon, then a bunch of fodder. At least the art looks cool.
Looking at the bottom of each card, you can see explorers or archaeologists looking at the hieroglyphs, as if trying to decipher what happened in the story. The card frame prevented that part being seen clearly, a shame.
And that'll just pull my finances away from buying the ABUR dual lands I need and all of my target foil cards I need for my casual decks. Absolutely nothing I need or want here. Hard pass without a second thought.

Do you want another rant?
Because that's how you get another rant from me #Vorthos
They're really pushing their luck with that price and as usual the ones who'll take the burn and have to recoup lost money by ******* the players over another product with actual demand, will be stores and "investors".
Now I wish the invocations were designed to be this, and called Prophecies instead. And the flavor will be the prophecies of Amonkhet written on walls. It will predict the arrival of bolas.
As the public tries to piece them together they will know that there are missing pieces (to be released in HOU of course). The prophecies look promising and awaits the final arrival of the Pharoah God.
But once you put in the HOU Prophecies, Scarab God, Blood Moon, etc. then you can see the truth.
i get the aesthetic they were aiming for, but i feel like maybe the artist they chose for these isn't necessarily adept at that art style
further, if the style is supposed to by hieroglyphs on a wall, why are several of these angled as if you're looking at them laid out on a table instead of on a wall in front of you? it makes it even more awkward
I love how Nissa's is draining sand from wall cracks like the death of the plane's environment, noting but desert left, how Chanda's archaeologist is illuminating her mural with a torch, and Gideon's is cracked stone. Lilliana's is the prettiest to me and Jace is my favorite because I'm a Cerulophiliac.

that is what I was going to ask... so no shipping outside USA from the hasbro site?
I was seriously considering this set... bummer

The SDCC Flip walkers by far are the best.

Damn, the people went despair, seeking hope, to bowing down to Bolas, the transition was intense.
And Bolas is vain as ever.
