The only good thing about this post is the edible chocolate roaches they gave out! Mmm mmm!
*crawl crawl*
Wait a minute, edible roaches don't crawl! EDIBLE ROACHES DON'T CRAWL!
DR Jeebus is banned... we cant trust him... lol jk. I miss that guy, he was awesome. anyways, good promo, bad timing. As always... If they want their FNM numbers up, they should print promos that are in standard at the time, and not rotating for a year... IMO now they can begin M12 promos, and should be doing scars block promos.
solid and useful FNM promos are always welcome. even if the timing is odd (unless it's reprinted in ISD), this will continue to see play in edh and maybe modern. i like!
I don't really see the complaining. It's probably the best Wasteland in Modern, the format everyone's raving about right now.
Besides, putting out FNM promos right before they rotate is the best Wizards can do to prevent stacks of promos ending up on ebay from cheating TOs. The other option is to make them garbage in standard like WPN.
I feel that the reason they release FNM promos that are cards that are about to rotate out of standard is that they have to first determine what cards are popular and people might actually want as an fnm promo, then they have to get art made for it and get it printed and distributed. Extended is an allowed format at fnms now so maybe they don't think printing a promo that's about to rotate from standard is such a big deal. Plus as already stated it's useful in commander.
I think the goal is to print cards that are going to be playable outside of standard as well. A lot of the promos lately have had a very EDH feel to them.
So far Tectonic Edge will not be an FNM promo . The letter that came with the FNM Cultivate said Tectonic Edge by mistake. Our store called wizards and asked them. They confirmed it was a typo

Just like when they printed Wall of Omens... Over half a year late... And Rhox War Monk... A year after it was out of standard? They are terrible at timing these things that they know... Like really? Spellstutter sprite... When Extended wasn't even in season!? C'mon!
Inquisition of Kozilek
Tectonic Edge
Mana Leak
Preordain
And other good cards should have been printed as FNM promo's A LONG time ago... Yes I realize that long time ago means like a year ago. That's actually a long time in magic though.

If you go back to some of the really good FNM promo cards....like:
Cabal Therapy
Lighnting Greaves
Thirst for Knowledge
Isochron Scepter
When were they printed? I mean I remember Isochron and that was printed way after Mirrodin had rotated.
I can understand why they are printing cultivate as the FNM promo but it sucks. If they wanted to go the whole "mana ramp" way, they should of done Explore.
Karn isn't a Planeswalker anymore. Get over it.
I was wrong.

I'll definitely get a bunch for my Commander decks though. Tec Edge is fantastic there.
Nothing new at all. It beats putting out FNM promos that JUST rotated.
