Not played in ext? actually YES it is. look at MTG.com for old ptq and pt results - several including myself and jimmy fricke (illinois) placed with stitch together/life death/glimpse reanimator decks.
but i digress - it looks good. too bad the shop i play in offers the card OR store credit (with the credit total being $1 for each player in the tourney) so i'll never get out outside of trading for it ($20-30 credit or life//death? easy answer).
Next time you post popular opinions, please word them in such a way that they're not infractable. Someone may be widely thought to be the dullest tool in the shed, but you can't publicly call him that, which as a mod I can neither confirm nor deny that I fervently believe he's a tool.
I guess seeing top 8 play in competitive tournaments in every format that's not Vintage doesn't count for much? I'll admit I'm biased towards the card though.
This is definetely the most disappointing FNM card in a long time. But then, the others have been extremely good, so, one crappy one isn't the end of the world.
What's with all the idiots asking for new art? Name one FNM promo that's had alternate artwork? The wurm doesn't count because it's the same art without the editing on the original.
CORRECT, they ALL have the same damn art. Stop complaining for the sake of complaining.
Meanwhile, I kinda like this card... currently it's the only decent reason Entomb is still banned in extended, since it makes turn 1 akromas possible (Swamp, Mox, Cabal Ritual, Entomb, Death, swing) and reanimate is a damn good effect, paying 1 more mana for it isn't bad.
Just because you're spoilt by the recent push for U/G Madness cards in FNM doesn't make this bad. It's a LOT better than a lot of the cards in my collection from last year and the year before (I have every FNM card back to january '04) Sure they upped the power of them on average lately with Slide, Wurm, Mongrel, Logic, etc, but that doesn't mean this card doesn't kick the ass of ones like Carrion Feeder, Krosan Warchief, Willbender, Icy Manipulator and friends.
You guys have to realize that this card is one of only two cards which only costs 2 mana to reanimate a creature. This is very good news for extended reanimation deck. Life side is just nothing Important side is only Death side.
but...
Well so many graveyard hate cards make reanimation deck worse
No. Now you know. A card is only legal if it's printed in a legal set. Since this isn't actually reprinted, it isn't. However, if they reprinted it in 10th edition, say, then it would be legal.
It's generally depressing to receive this kind of information. I would much rather prefer they give away cards that are somewhat difficult to get, albeit they're not even rare. Things like Goblin Ringleader, Eternal Witness, BB Force Spike, Werebear, and Goblin Matron. Sure I didn't cover the whole color wheel, but there are only so many playable uncommon highly sought after cards they can use as prizes. Thus, you would think it might be a bit easier to make the proper selections, as opposed to trying their hardest to force a U/G Madness deck through. I feel it's about time to consider making rares or new kinds of FNM foils. Maybe alternate artwork versions of certain cards. They could still stick with their extended push, so as to draw the FNM kids into extended, but just change it up. Instead, the most intresting of ideas are reserved for PT attendees in asia. Sigh.:-/

Looking for people to test T2 with me on MWS, Pacific or Mountain time preffered
Not really impressed with it. Its not being played in any extended deck thus far, so I don't really see it being played now.
It won't fetch much money, sadly.
Astral slide was this month's...

Gogo Slide for December
It's already been mentioned, but Slide was September's FNM card. You've already missed the boat...

Bah to Life//Death. It's just an overcosted Reanimate.
Thanks to Le_Gambit for this awesome sig!
but i digress - it looks good. too bad the shop i play in offers the card OR store credit (with the credit total being $1 for each player in the tourney) so i'll never get out outside of trading for it ($20-30 credit or life//death? easy answer).
