MTG Salvation

Any chance we could get the artist credits on the two new promos? They're hard to make out from the pictures. Thanks.

Very impressive choices, especially Fallout. I've certainly run both more than a few times.

No cancel? that´s a plus.

I dont care much for the pics, however is weird to see that this 2 cards fits into JUND and VAMPs so easily to combat an unexisting (maybe tokens?) deck. I would like to jump on the tokendeckinWWK train but since the last deliver contained this, I am affraid this is just a coincidence and nothing more.

P.s. volcanic is good for Xtended SBs =)

Wow. So they're WWK promos?

No, they're Player Rewards promos. You get them for playing in 5 sanctioned events since your last rewards mailing.

The infests artwork appears to be too awesome for trading, still havn't recieved my rewards cards from the last send out though.

Infest is Pete Venters. Can't make out the Fallout that well but it looks like it may be Jim Pavlich or whatever his name is.

Some better pictures:

considering the last ones i got were remove soul and negate, these are awesome.

Lovin' em. Can't wait to see which ones I get.

Weel, at least they're better than Cancels and that stuff...btw anyone knows when the Textless Foil changes?

The Players Rewards "set" is supposed to be annual, and despite the fact that the numbering indicates a calendar year (1/9 P10, for Lightning Bolt, this year's foil), the actual switch seems to happen around September, with the "Magic New Year".

both pretty cool. love the illustration for infest must nab some of dem.

I can confirm that the foil is still Lightning Bolt

Every year it changes, so for 2 mailings it's the same foil.

remeber when it was crptic command.... now think about that compared to this, it just cannot compare, then again, I am actually quite a huge fan of Infest!

When is the next shipping?

Could you tell us what the prerelease foil is? I'd assume it's probably Comet Storm, but it should be on the back of the huge one.

Yeah, Comet Storm is the prerelease and Joraga Warcaller is the release promo.

Thanks a lot. I figured as much, but no one ever said for sure.

I posted a scan of the back of the Comet Storm in the Joraga Warcaller thread, incase you wanted to see it.

Fallouts are awesome. Infest is very meh. Got two sets comin, so looks like two fallouts

So wait, are these shipping out now for the Spring mailing?

I'm kind of confused. The DCI page says for me:

So I guess since I don't see a sent for recently they didn't mail mine?

Blurry but yet very nice artworks there. I want four infests those are nice

Two faults with the current giveaway program:

1. Card choices aren't broadly used enough. The promos that have the best appeal are basic lands, since everybody could conceivably value those. They should replace 1 of the textless cards in a pack with a promo basic land.

2. The old textless cards are still being printed. Why the heck would you do this? It weakens the value of older textless cards, making this whole MPR thing not worthwhile. Make the new textless promos the only time they will be available, and I guarantee that they will hold value, no matter how bad they are (looking at you, Mana Tithe and Recollect)...

EDIT: MOPR is on the right track. Those APAC and Euro basics are sweet. I know you shouldn't redo them IRL, but just have some extra Zen basic arts as new promos. Players will be giddy to collect them.
