Though I was in Hollywood and am a judge myself, I didn't work the event so I didn't receive these personally. However, a level 2 that works for a competing store did show me the promos he received, indicating that the Orim's Chants were new for Hollywood. I'd put up a pic, but I don't have the wherewithal, so I'd refer you to eBay. There are a couple up as of this posting.
Cheers.

OMG - thats that ugley art from MTGO ...
donno if that promo will be that demanded due to the rotation that will take place in Extended this fall ... and we have no PTQ season with extended ...
well ... mayb it is a chase for those who play Eternal ...
Very pretty. I like how they foiled the rain droplets falling (assuming it's rain, didn't look closely). Sure to be worth a bit.
As an aside, why hasn't kicker been formatted to [Kicker (x) - Do something] yet? Seems like an obvious change to make. For example, Kicker W - Creatures can't attack this turn. Gets rid of that clumsy "if you payed the kicker cost" bit.
That's one sexy card. I only wish they weren't foil. I have trouble seeing the new art in all its glory when half the card is glaring white light back at me.
I don't have any hard numbers on this, but I'm targeted more often than a black guy driving a beat-up sedan with a broken tail-light and no license plate, and Cy's well aware of that.
The art may not be all that exciting, but I personally think the text box looks fantastic. This is the first card with kicker they've printed without reminder text.

I'd appreciate the art a lot more if it didn't look like an amateur 3D drawing. It probably looks alright once you actually have it in your hands, but... yuck.

The if-clause is clumsy, but I believe they've got their heads on straight. On any card that has any ability that adjusts the costs of the spell as the spell is being played or when the spell can be played, that ability is always the first ability on the card. On cards like Angel of Salvation, they're coupled together.
That's my theory, anyhow, and I've yet to see a card that disproves it.

I don't suppose you have pictures of those handy, do you? I'd love to see them. Hopefully the art doesn't stink the same way a lot of the other judge promos do.

The art on the original Chant is nothing short of epic. This is okay, but falls short of showing the mood and power of Orim like the original.
I feel the same way. The art looks nice, and the foil raindrops are probably awesome... but the original art was top notch, hence better.

The interesting thing about us legacy players is that we consider Force of Will, Dark Ritual, Blood Moon, Tarmogoyf and Swords to Plowshare to be fair.
Be he The Man or not, that picture of his still looks more like something assembled with three-dimensional rendering software instead of paints and a canvas. The very texture of the piece to me feels out of place for Magic.

I don't think it's that ugly. Certainly not quite as cool as the original IMO.

If you came here expecting a signature, you've just wasted your time.
Luckily, Orim's Chant is at the $8 mark right now and isn't particularly playable. $100 set of judgefoily chants, here I come :D. I'm happy. Orim's Chant is a cool card.

Looking at it again, the art isn't even framed properly. It'd be a much flashier card if they framed the art around Orim herself and not the whole scene. Having the blank background take up the left side of the art frame makes it look a lot more boring than the card actually is. If there was an army being warded off, that'd be something else. But there isn't, so it's boring.
I sure hope the DT and Mind's Desire cards look a lot better.

I really hoped it would be Tarmogoyf, now that needed some new art and a good cardframe.
