To be released on Friday 7th November 2014, these official gaming supplies will feature artwork of each of the new five Planeswalker Commanders on playmats as well as extended variant illustrations on the card sleeves -
• Nahiri, the Lithomancer, illus. Eric Deschamps
• Teferi, Temporal Archmage, illus. Tyler Jacobson
• Ob Nixilis of the Black Oath, illus. Daarken
• Daretti, Scrap Savant, illus. Dan Scott
• Freyalise, Llanowar's Fury, illus. Adam Paquette
-10: Put a colorless Equipment artifact token named Stoneforged Blade onto the battlefield. It has indestructible, "Equipped creature gets +5/+5 and double strike," and equip 0.
In the world building Panel, as well as in the Planeswalker's guide to Khans of Tarkir they talk about the Abzan having family trees where they bury their dead, and whose spirits can be called upon in times of need. So there will probably be a family tree card that can create these tokens either through sacrifice or some other means.
YEP!
Flavour explosion - Each Abzan family bears a kin tree, a sacred fruit bearing tree to which the dead members of the family are fed and where their names are carved, zealously guarded by the firstborn child, known as a "tree warden/caretaker"; younger children are free to chose other paths, and eventually plant their own kin trees and families. The spirits of the ancestors can be summoned from these kin trees, and the Abzan carry/consume resin, sap or amber in order to connect with the spirits. Disowning is a grave matter, as not only are the disowned social outcasts (though open to more life paths, such as wandering, adventuring or becoming mercenaries) that cannot be adopted by any family, they also lack a kin tree, and their spirits become malevolent and restless after death.
Decent Uncommon. I've always rather liked lifelink although the CMC of 4 seems a titch high even for the 3/2 stats.
Unsure of whether this is actually a Cleric or perhaps a Monk.
Awesome art from Chris Rahn.
Edit - some sleepy notes on those +1/+1 counter theme.
Appears to be fun times ahead with all the counters in this set (Ainok Bond-Kin, Abzan Ascendancy, Ajani Steadfast +1 ability, blah-blah, etc.)

3/3
Still liking all the standard constructed cards being used for FNM promos.
Here's my opinion on the upcoming FNM arts -
• September 2014 - Banishing Light, Journey into Nyx Uncommon
Original Art by Willian Murai BETTER THAN the Promo Art by Wesley Burt - Burt's art fails to capture that something is being exiled. This looks more like a burn spell art that was not used.
• October 2014 - Fanatic of Xenagos, Born of the Gods Uncommon
Original Art by Volkan Baga NOT AS GOOD AS the Promo Art by Zoltan Boros - Although slightly marred by the herp-derp face being made my the Centaur, the setting looks like a party I want to be at. The original art showed the Fanatical Centaur with dead Bambi - PETA is directing tersely-worded correspondence to WotC on this issue (maybe).
• November 2014 - Brain Maggot, Journey into Nyx Uncommon
Original Art by Min Yum NOT AS GOOD AS the Promo Art by Dave Kendall. Dave hit this one outta the park - the proof - I kinda threw up in my mouth a little just looking at this juicy ear parasite.
Is it me or do the two images show SEVEN new card arts ??
I had thought that WotC indicated only SIX new card arts . . . bonus?
This fact would lend itself to have this tossed in the 'fake' pile - UNLESS - one of the seven cards with new arts gets reprinted in the M15 Core Set (still a titch unlikely).
* * EDIT - Apologies - disregard - Decree of Annihilation does not have new art - SO indeed - six new arts as promised. * *
Your swimwear place website is great and being in Central Ontario, looking forward to summer / beach weather. I should think more product offerings in thongs.

It seems that it could be a simple product number but why include it ?

Just keep checking over here I think : http://wpn.wizards.com/en/resources/rules-documents
Chances are . . .
Looking forward to the June, July, August FNM Promos which should be out tomorrow on the Mothersite.
I had thought that WotC indicated only SIX new card arts . . . bonus?
This fact would lend itself to have this tossed in the 'fake' pile - UNLESS - one of the seven cards with new arts gets reprinted in the M15 Core Set (still a titch unlikely).

At least it appears to be flavor text on the card bottome (reference high res image here) . . ?
