Edit: Added pics and I wonder if prices will be outrageous like last years as last year it was Hasbro's quickest selling item last year with them going through the entire con's reserves early Friday morning.
Welp, guess I'm paying a premium since there's nobody i know who can pick it up and I sure as heck can't get there. :/ I really just want a chandra and a vess

I don't like the art style so I really don't feel sad or like raging that I can't get these. I understand some people can't get them and that makes them mad; and if they were cards that needed a reprint (like fetchlands) or brand new cards and this was the only way to get them, then yes I would be pissed. As is if you can get them, good for you, they won't make you a better player, but they might tickle your art fancy.
I don't understand why people think these are nice cards. They really aren't.
I agree, they are pretty bad. I personally like the Garruk more than the normal one, but that really is not the point of me getting it. The point of me getting it is that I am able to sit on it as a collector's item.
These are foil versions of a regular card... if you want it so bad prepare to spend big money, don't forget you can get the exact same card a lot cheaper if you buy a regular booster pack version.
Anyone else notice Liliana is purple in this??? Sixth color confirmed for a future set!!! Ok, joking aside it might actually be a subtle hint...

Am I going to be able to order this in Europe without people screaming that I'm "entitled"? (people who say that deserve to shampoo Yawgmoth's crotch for eternity.)
Go cry on your full art mutavaults that no one outside of Europe was able to get. Or if you're Asian, your APAC lands.
Different regions of the world sometimes get different promos. That's life.
I'm sure you can buy them from someone on the secondary market afterwards anyway.

I think WotC is loosing a huge way to gain more money with those ... why not sell them as a premiun product in each store as well? make this like Commander Arsenal that you can buy at a local store and in Comic Con ? They could go futher and make something like premiun planeswalkers box with one off of each walker (character)( with diferent artwork for each) something like a box with:
I wish my 4/4s with haste and first strike that acted as Goblin Warchiefs were better and didn't die to instants and overshadowed all other 4 drops in the format. And that they had evasion too, and some way to dodge wrath effects.
Yeah... getting these will be next to impossible for any price point that isn't hilariously stupid.
Honestly, the black foils looked okay when the Naruto CCG did them, and they look okay now, but no reason to get them above a foil version of an M15 one.

You don't call "dying to removal" if the removal is more expensive in resources than the creature. If you have to spend BG (Abrupt Decay), or W + basic land (PtE) to remove a 1G, that is not "dying to removal". Strictly speaking Goyf dies to removal, but actually your removal is dying to Goyf.
The thought that this could have been Liliana of the Veil instead of Liliana Vess saddens me. At least the incentive to get one of these would have been way higher but Wizards decided differently.
I just wish these were cheaper to obtain. The price they are being sold is ludicrous to be honest. Yes I bought a Chandra from the 2013 version during this year, only after I saved 15$ a month over a span of 17 months. Some days I wish I was Miss Moneybags who could afford to spend 300$ on something this frivolous and not care, sadly I am not such a person.
oh **** thats hilarious, if they do these every year now, some people can fund their entire standard season just by selling them after the event. I guess that's one way to finance your hobby.
I'm SO SICK of the "too strong for Standard" argument. It's the new "Dies to removal". We can have a two mana 4/4 with a zillion abilities, but we can't just have Accumulated Knowledge. Makes sense.

EDIT: Nevermind. The shading on his is the worst in my opinion. I had to take another look in order to see what was going on.

I think people would be happy to buy those even at a hight price
Ah well. I'll just buy a single of Ajani... and maybe the axe.
