MTG Salvation

Hey guys, can anyone help me identify this promo? I'm wondering if it's even real because I can only find details about the original book promo when I tried to google about this.

Bottom there says... 5/8 G11?

I know FNM promos are #/12 FXX where # is the month and XX is the year...

It looks like the number line the judge promos have.
If it's real it'd be one of those.

Compare

Edit: now that I think about it, they've released up to #3 so far. So it being real and spoilerific wouldn't be out of question.

Seems a bit strange, because the DCI logo on the artwork seems not in an angle, it seems too... wrongly angled compared to the direction of the card.

If its true, pretty cool Its a nice card

I have a normal one, but I'm super excited that everyone can get one as well. Being $50 is ridiculous.

Moved to Rumor Mill.

Well, unless they changed the Judge Promo frame like they keep doing to FNM cards, this isn't a Judge Promo.

Yup.

Sword of Fire and Ice
Bittterblossom

This doesn't match up.

Well, it does look like what they've been doing with every other promo. I could totally see it being a judge promo. Besides, what else would it be? Pro Tours get constructed jank. Grand Prix get extended viable cards. It's way too high dollar for FNM.

Well there is no doubt this is legitmate or not, however i don't believe it to be a foil Judge promo at all, it sounds to me like this may be a GP promo or something, defintely not FNM since Mana Crypt right now is almost maddening, just my thoughts on this little gem of a find.

If it is anything it is a judge foil.

The 'G11' is only on Judge Foils.

Maelstrom Pulse is the 2011 GP promo. (It says '2011 GP' at the bottom)

Just got confirmation that this is indeed a judge promo. It's one of the two that judges will recieve at PT Nagoya, Japan.

Looks pretty legit to me. And seems like a great choice.

According to Crystal Keep, there are ~75,000 Mana Crypts that exist.
How many of these promos will be distributed?

I mean look at the new FNM promos. Squadron Hawk. They are probably changing the look of all their watermarks and small icons in the pictures for all promos.

....it's not like we've gotten any decent expansion symbols lately either.....they butchered the Phyrexian mark.

Too bad it looks so ditzy.

I absolutely hate writing inside the artwork.. so frustrating

Any guesses what this will go for? I don't know how these things end up being priced EVER but this is the most expensive card* they have J-foiled right?


Cradle or Wasteland maybe, depending on whether you count when the foil was printed or just today.

Wasteland has been both Judge and MPR.

As for the crypt, it'll probably go over $100, at least initially. Apparently, it's more than doubled in price, since I bought one a year and a half ago.

That..damn...watermark.
I would love to get that Mana Crypt if it weren't for those stupid watermarks they keep putting in the artwork of recent promos.

I KNOW!!
And they never leave that expansion/watermark loop. Sad.

The new watermark/symbol is so ugly I don't care about these foils anymore.
