Wizards, please stop with the ugly star, in both places of the card. There should not be any watermark on FNM cards, they make them ugly. Also, very bad choice, what about standstill, rhox war monk, wasteland, force of will, etc?
Also... death to commander/edh! Stupid skilless format!
AWESOME! This card is great in EDH. This really shows that wizards is paying attention to the commander players. The art looks rather good too, but it is hard to see it very well with the glare.

Right now is rare the occasion when wotc makes a non T2 card for FNM. They are normally uncommon and T2 or from recently rotated blocks (last known, Spellstuter Sprite), so FOW or Standstill are impossible for now(for the time being).

War monk is the only thing on that list that has even a little chance of being a FNM promo. The others will end up being judge promos most likely (And wasteland is already)
That FNM logo is really distracting from the art. The art itself is an upgrade, though not much of one unfortunately. But free cards are free cards so thumbs up!

Force of will as an FNM promo? Oh please. That will never happen, I would stake the entire future of MtG on that. Same with standstill and wasteland. All of those except rhox war monk would be good judge promo's though.
Wow, they even had to desecrate the art by printing Friday Night Magic in the lower right corner. Nice job, wizards. And the shooting star watermark and expansion symbol are awful too.
Onto the promo itself. Yeah let's print this random eldrazi sure that should be awesome...I would much prefer the original artisan of kozilek in foil because of the unique border design/transparent text box and border and such...
@Demagogue: March promo is Wall of Omens.

Looking at it closely, I think that the frame and text box are translucent - the problem is, there's only blurry scenery to see through them, so there's little point.

And yeah, I'm not liking the FNM bit in the art. I'd definitely prefer (if they feel the need to brand the cards as FNM) that they use "Friday Night Magic!" as the flavor text. Keep the art box clean, for Urza's sake.

I think some people don't understand that the Mirrans are the bad guys. Arcbound Ravager is Mirran. Phyrexia are the good guys coming in to conquer an evil, evil world.
Me: Wizards printing a colorless EDH uncommon playable with alt art from a recent set, in the "year of EDH?" that might have splash damage into other demographics? Cool!

I don't think Nils Hamm was the best choice for illustrating an Eldrazi. His style just isn't a good match for them.
Interesting that the FNM promo is leaning more towards EDH now that the format has been made "official." Those who don't plat that format are nonplussed, naturally.

I'm joking, but Wizards really is making promo's out of some pretty random cards these days.

Get ready for more of it.
- 3rd prediction (It's the year of Multiplayer)
- The worst part of it is that there are way better picks that have both casual and constructed applications and they just haven't hit any of them.
