Awesome card, just wish it was standard legal. But maybe they are setting up a promo run for the new Modern FNMs. Which Im totally behind also.

I still don't get why they bother making non-Standard FNM promos, but this is a fine one to print if they're going to print promos for Modern.

Pretty nice promo card. Shame they couldn't have released it when it was still in Standard but it sees play in larger formats so no big deal.

Because standards not the only format. (Not even the best format IMO)

Well it is a card worth turning up for and at least it give Alternate art in the deck (which is something I like to have).

A vote for Blood in the Watering Can is a vote for a card the MOST amount of people can enjoy.

I like the new art, but definitely prefer the old art.

I want an alt art Jin-Gitaxias :[

Makes it easier to foil out my Modern Delver deck and now I won't have to buy it in the future.

As was mentioned, Standard is not the only format in Magic. Furthermore, this is the reason they're printing this promo now.

I can here everyone's collective "Ahhhhhh..."

I am thoroughly okay with this being a promo. An Alt-Art foil for Gitaxian Probe is never an issue in my book, and it is tournament legal as well. I am all for it!

I dont get it. The artwork looks more like an equipment rather than a sorcery.
