mikej · 10-23-2012, 11:51 AM

Good promo is good. I may pick up a playset if I want to go U/W/r Control.

my58vw · 10-23-2012, 12:01 PM

I approve... I want a set for red deck wins...

Pancakes · 10-23-2012, 12:03 PM

I main deck pillars so I want these!

vatechguy · 10-23-2012, 12:08 PM

Its odd the promo has Avacyn's collar on the staff but not the original.

Cool choice for FNM though!

WotC needs to break the "no rares or mythics" rule for Armada Wurm. Because if any card needed alternate art, it's that one. I mean, come on.

I don't care if it becomes the rarest promo card on the face of the planet, I'll buy a playset at premium just so I don't have to look at that ridiculously bad art.

ON TOPIC: I like the art on Pillar's FNM. I think I'll have to see it IRL, though to see if it's better than the original.

GomletX · 10-23-2012, 03:02 PM

Pretty good. Although I still think I'd like it better if the promos were things that would still have slight monetary value in the future rather than none.

4thDimentionalBubble · 10-23-2012, 03:05 PM

Well they want to make the promo a card that anyone can use... not just a good rare used in 1 deck. From what i can tell Pillar of Flame is one of most used cards in standard.

CrazyCatPerson123 · 10-23-2012, 04:25 PM

Great promo! I think that this is one of the most useful card in standard. it just does so much!

Rigged Spindown Die · 10-23-2012, 04:27 PM

Cool! I really like the art for that one. I am going to have to go to a lot of FNMs this month!

Daut · 10-23-2012, 05:20 PM

I'm so glad that i'm going to be able to attend FNM again starting next month. I can get these to pimp out my burn deck a bit more :P Right next to my white bordered lightning bolt <3

Foam-dome · 10-24-2012, 02:06 AM

Yawn.

It's a solid card and a worthy choice, but I just find it boring.

Mharti · 10-24-2012, 10:54 AM

Another junk red card

guess im not doing fnms during november

what happened to good fnm promos like counterpsell and isochron scepter?

Nyzzeh · 10-24-2012, 10:57 AM

Tried it in Modern as a SB card against finks and it didn't work, so not terribly happy about this pick.

You're seeing the past through some seriously rose-tinted glasses. The same year that Counterspell was printed as an FNM promo, so was Juggernaut. The same year Isochron Scepter was issued as a promo, so was Desert. 2012 has actually been a great year for FNM promos.

Now, when you say "it didn't work," do you simply mean it wasn't effective? Because it does technically *work*, the same way as it works against Geralf's Messenger.

Very good promo card and very good choice to promo
