I was looking on the web for information about the Shards launch parties and I found something weird about one near me. According to the site, the first 24 people who turn in a filled out launch party flyer will receive an alternate-art foil Jace (Jace VS. Chandra card a month early?). It could be a typo seeing there's a foil Ajani under it, but that would be a huge typo. Also, it says promotion above it leading me to think this is seperate from the foil Ajani (since the foil Shards card is mentioned above). I also noticed the sealed only has two boosters and a tournament pack (that's gonna be hard since you have to go a certain Shards colors this time). I won't be able to verify this tomorrow as the store is about 30 miles from me and there are launch parties right down the street, but maybe someone else has read something similar? My apologies if this has already been discussed.
I am actually a member of the WPN and got my release party kits. It is NOT a alternate art foil jace, what it is really is an "Alternate Art Jace PRINT" It's a piece of artwork that we give out to people who hand in the promo ads.
The promo card is actually a foil ajani (First 48 people for my party).
It was definitely a typo or a misinterpretation of data.
I know the release and pre-release are the same now (Shards being Ajani). I was thinking maybe they were giving out alt-art Jace's (a month early) in conjunction with Ajani's to people who filled out the flyers first (maybe as an incentive to go to this release rather than the 3 others in my area). Or, as I said in my first post, it's a huge typo. I will try and find out because I know a few people who go to that store for events.

Did you read what I said? I am a member of the WPN and our release kits featured alternate PRINT jace. If cards are in there I don't know (I don't open the prints until the day of the release), but as far as I can tell it's just prints.
It should be made clear that these are like 8x10 art prints, and not artist proofs (the cards with art on the front, and plain white backs that artists sell at large tournaments)

Exactly. Thank you Dr. Jeebus. That is exactly what I got, a sealed package of about 24 of these 8x10 art prints. Again as far as I can tell from looking at the see-through packaging all they are is a bunch of prints. I'm not an art collector so I can't make a guess as to the value of the prints, sorry.

well, he was probably already typing his post before you finished your post.
Thanks for the information though. Do you have a way of scanning and/or taking a picture of the print? XD:)

I can scan it tomorrow, but not today. Today is too soon, since release events start tomorrow. I'm not sure Wizards policy on these things and I don't wanna get in trouble so soon after starting in the WPN as a TO.

that actually was the case, thanks for pointing that out.
That's also quite a bit of hostility for my (3rd) post, thanks for the warm welcome Arcane. Next time I see anything like this I'll know where to not share it. My post was also 3 minutes after yours, I don't know anyone who can read a post, log in and reply in that time frame (I'm not saying it isn't possible, but if the post doesn't even hint to your response being read, I'd say it wasn't read).
Fair enough, but can you describe what the art looks like, is it the same art as the new jace card in the jace vs chandra bow set or a different piece to that.
It isn't the Jace VS Chandra art we've all seen, it's a new art.
It has Jace standing there on a red dusty ground with a vision of outerspace beyond him (stars and the such). On his face he has a stoic look with one eye glowing blue and the other scarred shut. His hood is on his head and he holds the hood with one hand gripping it close to him. His other hand holds an orb that looks like the Earth (except it's kind of floating near his hand)
I thought it looked more like Darth Vader than anything... but I gave mine back to the TO, and let somebody else have it. My store also gave away playmats, a much more useful promotion.

My store guy couldn't find his prints when i asked for mine and promised to save one for me when he found them. My question is what is it printed on? I mean is it even worth it? Is it a decent material or is it just printed on crap paper.

I really wish that this was the art for the Duel Deck. The spiky hair super sayin looking Jace really just plays into everyone's fear that Magic is becoming like yu-gi-oh. But this art is freakin' sweet.
But since Stifle is maybe a bit 'meaner' of the two, enough folkstotal ☺☺☺☺ing crybabies would whine, they probably won't do it. I wouldn't worry to much about it.

so if it is real, it's a typo slip. luckily jace blows so i don't have to worry about it.

Jace' outfit is so spiffy. How does he get anywhere without so much attention? Unless he can disguise himself like Mesmero at will. . .
(yes, I know Mesmero creates phantasms; that's what I meant)
