You sure PBG? Force spike is not a part of the madness deck, this must be a mistake.
Ahahahaha! I know I know. I was so sure it would be Careful Study next or something like that. It's a good choice and something that makes me WANT to play FNM as opposed to all of this Madness.dec insanity that has gotten way way way too old.
the only way I would say "it's nice" to have this card, is if it has the original Lagends art
Get your grin on! LoL!:D Yeah, if it was that horrible 7th art I would have been upset too. IN all seriousness, I wasn't a fan of the FNM Counterspell, because I really don't like that art. I would have preferred the Ice Age art or that promo art, but seeing as how that was used as a judge prize and an old Arena prize, there was little to no chance of that happening.
10 years ago, Force Spike was a joke card that no one took seriously. Now it's near power level play. Just goes to show you how the envirorment has changed.
Yeah for the old art on the new frame! These are the promos that make me happy to collect promos! I guess we can assume that this will be the December 2007 promo too.

I remember when I first saw Force Spike when I started playing back in late 95. I thought it was indeed a pointless card, but how warped is our initial impression of cards when we're all so new to the game? I certainly never thought I would see it as an FNM promo, although I believe I recall requesting it in a fantasy list of cards they should use as promo FNM material.
You're welcome. I played in some midnight drafts last night at a local store and decided to get a Fat Pack. I was checking out their amusing card values in the top ten cards from Lorwyn list, when I set the book face down and looked inside the box. I glanced over and saw it and thought that someone else has surely beaten me to the punch on posting it, but when I checked, I couldn't see anything. With that said, I just scanned and uploaded away, so you're quite welcome.
Anyone else happy about the old school Legends art or is it just me? Also, when extended rotates, do we lose 7th edition? If so, does that make this card extended legal for not that long? Could it be a card scheduled for reprint in a future set? I was just thinking about these things.

Well, I geuss matrix_lord and I are not alone on this idea of the Legends art lol.

Yes we lose 7th. The rest go with the rotation as well. I'm sure it's possible it'll be reprinted.
I wouldn't be surprised seeing a force spike reprint in a upcoming set. It's really not degenerate at all and is really only super amazing very early in the game.
Any idea of the month in which this will be given?
I would expect December since we know Roar is next month's- November, and the back of the book shows the coffers as well (this month's), so it would be for the last three months of the year, I would imagine.

It's December. I had to squint a little, but it says 12/12.

Given that they reprinted it in white already, it's definitely not a card they consider over the line.

"In another life, in another dream,
By a different name,
Gave it all away for a memory and a quiet lie.
But I felt the face of a cold tonight,
Still don't know the score,
But I know the pain of leaving everything very far behind.
And if I could cry,
And if I could live,
What truth I did then take me there,
Heaven Goodbye."
-Heaven's Not Enough, by Steve Conte
I think ever since the Coldsnap precons, they've finally figured out people like old art in new frames. Have you seen the Dark Ritual?
