This was just posted on Facebook, and they're confirmed as the new judge foils for PT Barcelona/Avacyn Restored. They're Command Tower and Sneak Attack (with new art).

Sneak Attack is just ugly art. Sad to see CT's first venture into foil's as a Judge, as HaxorSK said it's probably not going to be in FTV:Lands now =p.
What are the specifics as far as these being given out. One of each per judge for/at each major event that they judge? What level of event?
4 per judge at PTs, 2 per GP, 1-2 per conference day.

The command tower makes me a little sad, but seeing as how edh started as mostly judges hanging out playing, it actually makes sense to give them that bit of foil loving. Foil sneak attack is awesome, just because I love sneak attack.
Because conservative bias is a far, far worse thing. Liberal bias doesn't, statistically speaking, make people stupid. Conservative bias (or at least Fox's version of it) does.

Don't give up yet- it could also be a sign that it *is* in,
and they wanted to give out these Judge Foils before they lost a lot of value.
FTV is still several months off, so it's not necessarily a death sentence for CT.

Foil Sneak attack! Sweeeeet. Don't really care about command tower as EDH is stupid
Really. So you're complaining about a format where most people can casually play legacy/vintage level cards while praising a competitive legacy level card.

I'll agree that it's unfortunate that this almost certainly means there's no Command Tower in FTV: Realms, and also that it does make sense to make that card a judge foil since EDH/Commander originated among judges in the first place.
Why is everyone complaining that CT wont be in the FTV now? You got what you want. A foil Command Tower to pimp out your EDH decks. This just opens up a potential slot for another card to have its day. Seriously....
They're complaining because it's a judge promo. If it were FNM or in FTV it would be a lot easier to get one. Judge promos are hard enough to get, and every EDH player is going to want one of those. There's a good chance they end up costing $50.

True but arent all hard to get EDH Staples in foil hard to get? Ive seen people put ridiculous amounts of money into their EDH decks. Beta Duals, Shocks, foil everything. 50 dollar foil shouldn't be that far of a stretch.
Well these promo's aren't that spectacular at all. The sneak attack art is so meh, and command tower makes sense sure but what about scavenging ooze? Scavenging ooze deserves a foil version much more than command tower IMO.
Also, how would command tower fit the flavor of FTV: Realms? Command tower is from no specific plane or anything, I'm glad it's not going to be in the FTV.
Also, EDH players: You guys are complaining about this foil likely being around $50? This makes no sense to me, since I've seen EDH only foils go ludicrous amounts like captain sisay, azusa, and all these other cards like coalition relic among others. If you don't want to lay down the cash for a foil copy, just don't lay down the cash for a foil copy and spend $2 on a nonfoil version. You have control of your wallet I'm guessing.

That'd be a bargain. Considering how many judge foils end up kept by the said judge, this would be one that would take an awful lot for some of them to get rid of. Think Maze of Ith... I see these being $100 easily.

Although since these are even rarer than FNM Foil, it might still have a shot.

It might get different art, though.
