Update: Now on ebay! A local dealer is selling it for me on his account. Lot number 130296449188. Go bid!
Upon opening my mail a couple days ago, I received a package from wotc. Inside I found a letter to the tune of, Thanks for being a judge! To my delight I found a card inside. To my surprise I found the following card:
The artists are Zoltan Boros and Gabor Szikszai.
Can anyone tell me if there are other copies of this promo released? I've looked on ebay, ssg, the wotc website and google images, and I've asked everyone I know and no ones has ever seen this promo. It'd be sweet if I was the only one in the world with a copy ^^.
Edit: Much less blurry image now, will get a scan of it soon
Edit: NEW PICS! bigger and more detailed!
Edit: One, near perfect, fantastic scanned image, perfect size and clarity. Deleted the older, big and ugly images.
OMG awesome tech
guess that means no maze of ith in FTV:E
I don't think judge promo's are going to affect what is in the FTV:exiled since there's already a judge promo balance, and that's the only card confirmed to be in the FTV.
yeah but they are not going to release a judge promo and a special box set with the same card that is the judge promo at the same time. Judge balance was a long time ago, thats what makes it ok.

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.

So a maze of ith judge promo is easier to get than a balance judge promo? They're both very lofty to obtain and should never affect it's chances to being released publicly. Wotc also don't have a problem with having multiple alternate art promos of the same card. See Jace berelen.
I took these pics with my iphone, which is normally good res but not at close range. im going to see if i can get a color scan for you guys some time tomorrow.
As for the new FtV discussion formenting here, I agree with releasethedogs. The only reasons I think multiple Jace promos exist is because 1, wotc knows Jace is not a chase rare, and 2, its from a resent set. I don't think wotc will release multiple promos of older cards in the same time period. Why would I want to trade for the FtV Maze when the judge promo is so much nicer and worth more, or vise versa
EDIT: as well as having to commission multiple pieces of artwork
Awesome. Too bad you can play it pretty much in only one deck.

Because the judge promo maze of ith is going to be worth a LOT more than the FTV maze of ith, and just because the judge maze would be released within the same time as the FTV maze doesn't mean that they will both be just as easy to obtain. Not everybody's a judge, but plenty of people can go down to their store and at least reserve their FTV: exiled. There's also 3 different arts for jace as well as balance, multiple commissions of art is not a problem for WotC.
Maze of Ith is one of my favorite old time casual multiplayer cards. I'm lucky enough to own an original from The Dark, but I love the artwork on this new version. Very cool!
What level judge are you? Also did you get the dark rit in the last mailing? I ask because I'm checking to see if it's a Canada only thing or if it's going to everyone.
I'm a level 1, this is the only card I've received. It's interesting though because a couple of my friends, who are also judges, got Dark Ritual. This is the only Maze of Ith promo I've seen anywhere.

Did you do anything out of the ordinary then? I'm kinda jealous, I must say. Though, you should sell that piece on Ebay. Being the only one in current circulation, I bet it would fetch a pretty penny. Even if it's only played in one deck. I really don't know...darn.
EDIT: What is the collector's number on this piece, if I may ask? It's possible that this is one of the Honolulu judge promos, and WotC either oops'ed or wanted a unique way to spoil one of the 2 new cards.

This is probably the worst signature in the history of signatures.
Well there's a couple reasons I don't want to sell it. One, I don't think it would make it past a decent reserve bid. Too many skeptics that would think it was fake, no one is specifically looking for it because they don't know it exists. 2, it's pretty and priceless, at least until more of them are released. If you owed the Mona Lisa, would you sell it?
Makes me very very sad. It really does mean they won't put this in FTV:E. Balance is one thing. It's been out for ages and can easily be picked up for reasonable prices. New promos like this are always very sought after and are the crown jewel reward for being a judge. This alone should tell us that it's no way going to be in the set. Why would they give someone a gift that is supposed to be special and unique to them, only to put the identical thing in a set 3 months later? They didn't do it for Eternal Dragon for that reason, they won't for this.

How is the FTV maze supposed to affect the value of this judge promo? There's only one reason you'd want the judge promo, and that's because you want this specific card, and not because you want a random maze of ith. This card would still be unique regardless of what they put into FTV.

Yet again, the judges get awesome promos.

This card almost makes me want to get certified as a judge, even though I never go to sanctioned events outside of FNM. I love Maze of Ith that much.
Yeah, the judges get a lot of cool promo's. Too bad I'm not a judge.

In only one deck? Maybe in only one Legacy deck...
Maze of Ith is a good addition to almost any EDH deck. Also great for Cube.
