Question for those receiving your MPR: What "batch" number do you have? I'm just curious, as mine hasn't been shipped yet (sad face) and I'm usually in the 20s batches, so I'm hoping I can gauge approximately how long I have until mine is shipped.

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.
Wonder if I'll get that up here in Canada. I've certained played enough to qualify for anything they're giving out.
I wish I had a store close enough so that I could play enough to get MPRs again...anyways, on topic, that's pretty cool, I haven't seen oversized cards in any form in awhile
Judging from what I can make of the back, it looks like a very poorly timed attempt at exclusive previews for MPR members. Clearly it didn't work, since we got the card AFTER the prerelease...
Wow! That's big. All the more for our postal service to bend these big cards.

Waste of cardboard is all I can think of :/ If only it were something remotly or slightly playable
Its not even a cool card to have oversized, a planeswalker would be soooo much better :/
And since its not tournament legal it wouldn't have any impact on the market.
or condemn etc. oversized EDH generals is a bad idea.
All you need is a placeholder for it, or the actual card for instances like that. To have an over size EDH general is more just to "geek out" your deck. I've been mulling over the idea of printing my own for a while with extras photoshoped on them... Too bad Wizards would eat me to bits if I tried to sell my versions...
To those complaining- Would you prefer a poster or something similar to the ad on the Tips and Tricks card? Or the fact that they randomly give you an oversized card? Of course it's useless, but it's still cooler than the alternatives.
I think tokens should be brought back into the rewards program though... An Alara token, with the ad on the back, would have been cool, especially if it was oversized, and for something big like Godsire?
imo a poster would still be better. What can i do with an oversized card? Can't play it. Can't show it off to friends who don't play magic without them thinking i'm "SHOWING THEM MY POKEMANS". Can't put it in a sleeve or toploader. Might go in the front of my binder. Tokens are nice too.
GB Elves <-man I hate this deck, it has a 50/50 matchup against Tier 1/2 but loses to jank aggro most of the time. UB Faeries <-only reason it's good is because of all those people that's still playing 5CC. WB Tokens <-so boring, there's only 2 ways to play this deck. RB Blightning <-Autopilotting you to victory 0-2 drop.
???B Super Secret Tech <-dude, this thing is nuts! 90/10 against all matchups.

Yeah, posters would be sweet
Oversized cards are nice... but having random cards with nothing spectacular doesn't make them special :/ On the other hand, having mythics/planeswalkers/legends or anything along those lines could be nice
Got my yesterday, not too bad at all. I kinda hope they continue sending extra free oversized cards...I mean they're free. Now what would have been awesome is if they sent over sized tokens (like the one Godshire makes).
They also sent me another DCI card that's pretty sweet. It's got the art for Sarkhan Vol on it and I'm glad I got because my old one has the numbers rubbed off.

It does feel like a waste of cardboard. Not a 6x9 to be used in actual oversized decks (there are a few people out there with VERY similar oversized decks, lol). I assume by the picture that they are about the size of the old Vanguard cards. EDH Generals would be a good 'value added' feature, at least (See Bleiweiss' article about this over at SCG).
Sounds more like MCR rather than MPR (collector vs. player).
Still, if I get one, I might tape it to my SoA binder to bling it up some.

Or they could print an entire oversized set. Like Super Mario Bros. 3's World 4. It'd be awesome... Huge BoP, imagine a JUMBO Wrath of God!!!! Now that's what I'm talking about.
EDIT:
Oh nvm, I see. It is an ad.
lol kinda neat, would have been cooler as Shadowfeed or something.

Anyone have the faintest idea what made them print these? I'm actually pretty curious.
