See, something has to be changing, though. There's only 4 comics in each line and one promo per comic as it has been for the last 3 runs.
There's 5 promos here. That means we're either getting more than 4 comics in the set or more than one promo per comic.
Well, the last series was 12 issues, so another run of 12 isn't surprising.
What surprises me is that they're picking rares this time (Acquire, Gaze of Granite), which is an excellent idea for moving these (as they're basically "Buy a card, get a free comic"). Moreover, all these cards seem playable, which makes me happy. This is an upgrade.

I'm unfamiliar with these comics. Are the promos usually standard playable?
If so, they're giving us high tide in standard?

If MTG is a part of your life, the formats are like relationships:
Standard/Block = The on-again, off-again holiday fling
Modern/Vintage/Legacy = Stable, homely. A ***** after absence/misreading
Limited/Sealed = Heart breaking free spirit
Commander/Cube = Agreeable, needy and expensive
Pauper/Peasant = Sweet, kind, practical, but shy and boring
I don't care about these promos much, I can't imagine I'll buy the comics. (Though I think the Duress is nice)
But does no one else think it's BS how 3/5 of the promo's are blue? lol
Of the first 12 promos, 11 were in Grixis colors, and we also got Arrest. There really isn't much rhyme nor reason to it, other than "Oh hey, Dack's UR and the bad guys are BR".

Welp, I posted these yesterday in the existing thread and literally only one person cared, so I'm glad to see everyone jumping all over these cards here. /sarc
Always good to see some older eternal playables get a new frame reprint for the first time.

I think the problem was there wasn't the word "CARD" in the thread title. The comics have been mediocre so no one cares about them. I find it a little funny that we get five promo cards now, way early, and we're pretty much guaranteed the comic releases will be pushed back, the first being October.

Here is the pic of the promos:
I see:
Gaze of Granite
High Tide
Wash Out
Acquire
Duress

1 card per comic I believe.

No reprint promo is ever standard legal unless it is printed in one of the standard legal sets.
These are just promos, doesn't change anything about what formats the cards are legal in.

The main character is a R/U Mage, so the art featuring him tends to be one of those colors.
