I hope they do all the Alara land eventually. I think its funny that Jund (when it was at its T2/Standard peak) has almost all of its cards in promo form now. Promo thrinax. Promo bloodbraid. Promo leech. Promo broodmate. Promo bolt. Promo blightning. And now this.
Good promo to gnab; I'm not saying foil shards land is too expensive ($3 or so...I blame and thank foil packs), but they are bound to go up as I doubt they'll get printed in a core set.
Out of the blackness and stench of the engulfing swamp emerged a shimmering figure. Only the splattered armor and ichor-stained sword hinted at the unfathomable evil the knight had just laid waste.
Trilands have some of the best utility ever printed. Now, arguing for something standard legal could be reasonable, if your FNM is standard.
Sure, they have great utility for mana fixing. I personally would have been happier with Bojuka Bog, Halimar Depths, Soaring Seacliff or really any of the similar Zen block lands.

Considering I use Bojuka Bog in almost all my non T2 black decks, and Halimar depths in all my non T2 blue decks, I woulda been much happier with these.
That would make me cry. Makes me cry enough knowing this jank is December. Although I rarely if ever play during December so I guess I am not that upset about it being this specific month.

Yay.

I don't mind this card in theory, but its upsetting that its a card that is part of a cycle of 5 where all 5 are useful, mostly in EDH and casual formats (yes, it was huge in T2 and would be huge again if reprinted but they are outclassed by Rav duals and fetches in Modern).
There are dozens of strong prominent cards in T2 like GftT that would make excellent FNM promos. There are only 12 FNM promos a year, so lets not waste them on stuff like Rhoz Warmonk, shall we?
I mean, without even knowing standard, there are easily some stand outs in Innistrad that everyone would know would see play:
Those seemed obvious from the spoiler to see play. Guys like Forbidden Alchemy and Ancient grudge are bound to see play outside of standard as well and would make even better promos. Given that there are 4 sets a year and 12 promos, each set should get 2-4 common/uncommon FNM promos each.

I don't receive these cards, but every time I see a new selection for these promos, I wonder how the hell they choose what they're going to FOIL up and send off to people. This is just a weird choice. I love the art on the original, too. They're going to have to make this one look phenomenal.
Well it looks like despite the DCI pretty much scrapping extended no one told the people in charge of promo's. So hear we get a promo which is only viable for extended and EDH when what we want is standard, modern or legacy promo's.
Since November is/was Go for the Troath, this one sux :/

Could be a lot worse.

Yes, I'm aware. That was the point.
It's been done but yeah, something like that.

They alternate Standard - Extended - Standard - Legacy

I agree, which is sad because the original art is actually pretty sweet on all 5 shards lands. I'm a bit bummed by this, but oh well!!
