Going to be at SDCC and I was holding off on deciding if I wanted to wait in line for the promo. No question that I'm willing to wait for this set. These are gorgeous.
I hope you signed up for the lottery, you can't just wait in line at Hasbro's booth. Go on to the SDCC website and put in for a time and hope you get lucky.
Why does Jace look like a wimpy highschool/college kid with George Clooney's face????
Because he is.
I actually get a young Tom Cruise vibe off this artwork of him though.

Nice to see the annual middle finger to non-American collectors is more beautiful than it's ever been.

My Commander decks:
Chandra, Torch of Defiance - Oops! All Chandras.
Prime Speaker Zegana - Draw for Power.
Pir & Toothy - Counterpalooza.
Arcades, the Strategist - Another Brick in the Wall.
Zacama, Primal Calamity - Calamity of Double Mana.
Edgar Markov - Vampires Don't Die.
Child of Alara - Dreamcrusher.
Is Gideon rolling his eyes? Like, "The church of Serra huh? Great, I just planeswalked into the Homelands..."
Which is actually kind of weird, because there was no official statement that there was a Church of Serra in the Homelands even tho she was viewed as a Goddess by a lot there.

Me too And I'm not complaining. He may be cray, but Tom's pretty.
Yeah, alright, getting the same Jace for 3 years isn't ideal. But I'd rather it have been Unraveler of Secrets. I hated the zombie ones, the Amonkhet ones and I didn't like the artwork on the original from SOI. I can't believe they did that Jace card three times and I hated every single version. Meanwhile. Cunning Castaway has two beautiful cards. Ah, well, house rules can allow me to play both in my Jace themed deck. Or this as a proxy for Unraveler of Secrets. But man they got that one wrong so many times.

8 more days until we discover if we're getting a Serra card, Moppi!
Also, I agree with your assesment that Gideon gives romance cover teas, but this is good tea to spill sis, so I am for it.
Ohhh they all look so pretty!!! Kind of glad I don't own a playset of Gideon of the Trials yet, so I could try to get this last one! But I guess they'll be so hard to get, especially outside the US!

Question, are they tournament playable?
As long as they have the common Magic the Gathering/Deckmaster back side (which I believe they do) they should be legal in whatever formats their original (or current) printings are legal in.

Man I wish Jace, Liliana and Nissa were different, better iterations featuring this art. I have no use for those 3 so they would be nothing more than additions to an already overflowing collection.

Already set interest for every time slot, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed for another week. I'll probably see if my wife is willing to do the same, seeing as there are several people in my group who would be happy to get their hands on one of these.

Tell me about it, hunty, I seriously broke down when I was alerted that Our Blessed Lady appeared in these promos! And with my current bae, Gideon at that! I don't know how I'll be when she finally gets a Commander deck!
But I can't help but be wary after what happened with C14... the face crack I had when Nahiri ended up taking the white slot. =_=
And also... wait a sec... 8 days? Was there an official announcement about that? The way I read Gavin's tweet I was thinking third week of July. :/

It's understandable why they had chosen Nahiri, although it would be inexcusable to pass on Serra this time. And yes, she needs to be Mono-White.
July 12 is when I heard previews for this being. Correct me if I'm wrong. I figure they'll start with the face cards.
What commander decks do you have, btw? Do you have a Serra Commander deck in mind to make? If you do, you better add this Gideon card to it! I have a Jace deck and a Blue/White deck that plays Jace, Gideon, Venser and other various sexy guys from MTG. I wonder if you have similar decks

I heard spoilers start on the 30th of July....
You sir, are regrettably correct. 25 days until we can know if Serra Unless SDCC reveals something?

Accoding to Blake we will get something on next thursday, maybe they will show the art of each face card.
"We can be more specific! July 12 on #weeklymtg (2 pm PT Thursdays on http://Twitch.tv/Magic ) we’ll reveal the deck themes and a bunch of art"
Can't find - is any way to buy it without to flight in hurry to Comic Con?
If they do the same thing they have done the past years with this, it will be available on Hasbro's Toy Shop 2-3 weeks (approximately) after SDCC concludes. In 2016, they sold out in about 33 minutes (I got lucky to get mine in that window). In 2017 they sold out "slightly" slower and were in stock for about 4 weeks after SDCC. I am not sure if the price was a factor last year, if they had more stock, or something else, but there were a lot of opportunities to buy them from the Toy Shop.
I would suggest doing what I do (assuming they put them in the Toy Shop): watch for the announcement for when they will be listed and then just refresh the page that day until they show "In Stock" and then pick one up.
