Default GUESS WHAT'S IN ZENDIKAR PACKS? REPOST

Hi all
I KNOW I am new to the forums, BUT...
This really happened today!
http://www.kidforcecollectibles.com
Please see the front page of my store's website for breaking news on an
ORIGINAL CANDELABRA OF TAWNOS
being pulled out of a pack of Zendikar today. This card was in place of the basic land and was placed in the pack upside-down. I posted a similar article a bit ago, but someone took it down... now you have a pic from a reliable source (would I post it on my store's website if it weren't true???)!
Have fun cracking!

Is this part of the Priceless Treasures thing? If so, that is amazing.

Doesn't prove a thing. It's pretty easy to put the original card next to a pack and call it a day. And yes you could definitely do this in the site of your own business. Easy and cheap advertising. One would be really stupid to buy this. If this was true, we would have had several other sources confirming that already.

Honestly, that picture only really proves that they have a Candelabra of Tawnos. Not that it came out of that pack. There's a slight possibility that this rumor is true. If it is true, then Zendikar packs are going to be ridiculously expensive. I might have to resort to buying them from wal-mart.

You REALLY think WotC wouldn't have advertised that if it was true? And it would be completely random to put classics in this set like that, really.

Well, something to ponder... If he's lying that certainly won't be a good reflection on his store, which he may or may not be shilling for...

So?

As said above, if this was true WotC would have tried to advertise the hell out of it for money.

All the silence along with a single picture won't cut it. I find this -extremely- hard to believe.

Edit:
Candelabra of Tawnos is in the reserve list, is it not?

Everyone would have screamed : "screw wotc !!! they would do anything crazy to steal our money !!"

Then, if they don't advertise it, it would look like a present, a gift and people would like it.

troll possibility aside, i do not call this a bad marketing decision. word of mouth is powerful and we're talking about groups of people playing semi regularly - regularly. This will be a hoot if true.
