Professional Event Services will be giving away a foil alternate art Char at the Origins Game Fair this year. Although no pics are available of it yet, the information can be found on their site here.
Confirmation at last! Looking forward to this, although the original art will be hard to top. EDIT: Well, colour me impressed.
I wish we got prizes that good where I play...

Sure, your Chars look cool - but how about an alternate art, promo foil Char? We will be giving them out all weekend to participants in all of our scheduled events.
With prizes like an uncut sheet of Magic cards, a complete foil set of Darksteel, a Library of Alexandria and a complete set of the Lorwyn block, there are many reasons for Magic players to come out for this weekend.
Well Origins has been falling as one of the better gaming conventions. It used to be one of the top places to go every year, but it's gone downhill through the years. This might be part of them trying to draw in a new batch of people who have never gone before or who haven't in years.
Media is not making me steal. But in a way is like the story of the very hot girl with the short skirt teasing the old sick guy with a history of rape.
Very nice promo and nice art. Maybe Wizards could start print some - region only promos - for Europe or central Europe, not only for USA (Walmart Jaya, Origins Char) or Japan (sweet Glorious Anthem)
you mean like the foil extended art mutavault that the U.K. got for 2HG that no one else got a shot at?

The art is worse than the original (but still good), but the flavor text is much, much better. Hell, the original flavor text was horrible, even in Ravnicaworld.
Thnaks for the pic/info everyone. Wish I could get some of these.
I want 4 of these bad boys as the art looks awsome(you nay sayers are wrong i say, wrong!!!!!!....) and the flavor text is smexy as hell.... time to ebay...!!

The art is fairly mediocre(especially for a foil burn spell) and the textbox symbol is pretty bad(even compared to the FNM or arena symbols). It's one saving grace is the mildly amusing flavortext of "If you've never choked on the embers of your own spell, you aren't casting it hard enough.", but that in it's self isn't enough to make me want to hunt down a playset of these.
I think the art is better than the original one... and the flavor really rules. I won't quote it again because it's been already done a number of times and won't post it in my sig only because I think it takes away too much precious space for viewers.
The question that comes to mind: Howhard can you cast a spell?
At least we know when Jaya Ballard, Task Magespit her lungs out of choking...

Yes, vindication.
Well... it's not an MPR card, it's not in a planeshifted frame as far as anyone knows, and it's not the original art, so... no, not really.
