I'd heard that everyone who participated in a sanctioned tourney/event since the second-to-last event, and before the last event, gets something. Is this true? I know I wouldn't normally qualify for MPR this mailing, but since it's over I'd hope maybe they'd give me something nice for it. :/

I got an extra foil Day of Judgement, I only had 21 points, so that would mean one foil. Not sure if it was a mistake, or that extra they were talking about.
Either way, I'm just glad I had enough points to actually get a foil in time.:)

Maybe theyre sending the oversized Legend cards as a preview of what the new oversized generals for commander are going to look like when they release the commander sets?

Nah, they usually send an oversized version of the prerelease card before the set is released.

The only good thing about this post is the edible chocolate roaches they gave out! Mmm mmm!

Wait a minute, edible roaches don't crawl! EDIBLE ROACHES DON'T CRAWL!
When are they mailing these cards? I've been sitting at 21 points for what seems like forever, and haven't received any promos since "Spring 2010" (whenever that was).
EDIT: Actually, since I only recently started playing Constructed, I just checked and I only have 4 points. So I guess I won't be getting something unless WOTC feels nice.
The problem with defining this format by what is "fun" is that everyone seems to define fun as what they don't lose to. If you keep losing to easily answered cards, that means you should improve your deck. If you don't want to improve your deck, then you should come to peace with the idea that you are going to lose because you chose to not interact with better strategies.
I love that Glissa artwork. It's really dark and beautiful. I would have preferred that as the alternate artwork for the pre-release. Guess they really don't want to give us any more money rares. =/
Searing Blaze and Treasure Hunt are the new textless promos.

No older foils either. 3 DoJ.
And Glissa was in the envelope. No Hero. Never seen more than one of the oversized cards in a mailing either.

I wish it was Glissa. Also wish I had gotten useful cards like mana leak :/

Weirdly, standard has been BAD since JTMS was banned, it hasn't been fun, nor healthy since.

We got smashed by a blizzard too. no mail since the 23rd due to weather and holiday.
Maybe that's why the program is being discontinued.

When do you have 62 as of? Remember that tournaments you've participated in for the past 1 1/2 months don't count towards the Dec. MPR mailing.
As an aside, that Searing Blaze is HAWT. I only wish they'd chosen a card that's not rotating in 8 months...
