The MTG page just revealed these Judge Promos. Which ones are you most excited for? How pricy do you think these will be?

Sword of Feast and Famine with the old card design is my favourite.

I can get shiny promo Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite now?! :D time to make another EDH deck..

Tha Elesh Norn is ridiculously sweet. That's going to be near double what she is now.
May 8, 2014 9:37 a.m.
Near double her foil price... Probably more, considering the number of people who want this and the distribution level. This is only going to judges who have helped others become a judge since 2005....
FYI, The FoW foil is estimated to open around 1000$... Everyone has been waiting for this for years....

Everyone's nerd boner just got so much harder for that card now, it's only a matter of time.

Force of Will, with better art, and foil. Prepare to trade your car for a playset of these
May 8, 2014 9:48 a.m.
Then, the Judge that sells you their FoW will have a decent down payment for their new car!

Kind of makes me wonder if there will be a non foil in the summer duel deck.
May 8, 2014 9:54 a.m.
Fall duel deck* Summer doesn't have a duel deck release. There will be a Modern Event deck (soon), conspiracy (in june), core set, core set event deck and ftv: annihilation, in September, we'll see the duel deck...

I'm incredibly surprised they are reprinting FoW. I thought that was near sacred ground on the reprinting scale along with tolarian academy and the like. The elesh norn is wicked though, I don't like the p/t numbers on it though. The rest are meh, just changed the set symbol and made them foil.
May 8, 2014 10:06 a.m.
I think they should have stuck with the original art of Force of Will , but made it foil. I bet that would look sweet.

Oh my god that sword, that norn, that force! I want!

They're gorgeous to be sure but...psssshhhhh. Like I can afford them.

I really like Hanna. I wish they would have made a Sydri foil instead of boring Oloro. And like everyone else, FoW and Elesh are sweet.
May 8, 2014 11:37 a.m.
TheMercadian says... #21
Hanna, Ship's Navigator for sure, I will getting her for EDH. That dang Voice of Will is going to sky rocket now. I was really hoping they would re-print it soon in a set. Guess not :(
May 8, 2014 11:47 a.m.
LittleBlueHero says... #22
I am not surprised at the Legends they chose here, all of them are played in competitive EDH formats...
That Riku in my opinion is going to look the best foil. Might bring back my deck if I can get my hands on one. And from the conversation so far he seems to be one of the less sought of these cards.
And I have been a fan of that Hanna art for a long time.

Holy mother of god, I need to have that Elesh Norn for my ramp deck. Then I can can have 1 French, 1 foil and one judge promo, written in motherf*cking Phyrexian!
May 8, 2014 2:09 p.m.
i really want the greater good, not a fan of the sword as I think the new art doesn't match the border, but thats just me! Sure it will look nice, not a fan or printing boring broken generals for boring EDH decks but this is one of the only ways to get foil versions and the judges deserve foils they can get decent money for with all their expenses so thats fair enough too. Elesh looks pretty awesome and unique which will be a big pull, lol at the future prices of FoW gonna be INSANE!
May 8, 2014 2:14 p.m.
Dear lord sweet baby jeebus... I'd take the FoW and/or the Elesh written in phyrexian, both will have hefty price tags
May 8, 2014 2:38 p.m.
LittleBlueHero says... #26
There are already a few of these available on eBay. Riku, Hannah, Nekusar, Oloro and SoFaF were all there....
May 8, 2014 3:31 p.m.
im glad this sowrd is finally a judge, it will prolly sit close to SoFI, maybe more at first for demand but then dwindle back down, no way it sits at $30 like the light and shadow. I really want Oloro for commander as well. Force of Will i called as a reprint this year, was just hoping it was in FTV not judge lol, oh well! yeah estimates are $1,000 each minimum since the print run is supposedly under 1,000, plus the demand is a 4 of in so many decks, the people paying that price tag dont care bc they also play $1600 jap foil polluted deltas
May 8, 2014 9:43 p.m.
TitansFTW, remember when I traded you that foil Elesh at 16 points? Yeah, kind of kicking myself now...xD
The judge promos look cool. Obviously (like a cool person) I like the Elesh Norn the most.
May 9, 2014 12:04 a.m.
megawurmple says... #30
I do remember the Norn. I had absolutely no idea at the time that it was going to become so expensive. That was a stroke of luck on my part, and a stroke of bad luck on yours.
May 9, 2014 4:12 p.m.
Why is Norn so sought after though? That is what piques my curiosity.
May 11, 2014 1:05 p.m.
blackmarker90 says... #32
Gifts Ungiven is the primary place I see her used, and there may also be a couple of Pod decks that use her as well.
May 11, 2014 1:07 p.m.
I see, I know the nerf/buffs is tremendous, but she was never high on my list to throw into re-animator and the likes which I figured is where she comes into play for. I figured there was something I was missing.
May 11, 2014 1:14 p.m.
megawurmple says... #34
DaggerV The "nerf/buffs" is more than tremendous. It's a one-sided wipe that sticks around. Not many commonly used Modern creatures stay alive once Norn is on the field, and those that do survive won't last long in combat against your 4/7 vigilance blocker. When she's out, even your mana dorks are efficient beaters. I run 3 in my ramp deck, and if I can get one on the table, it's game over for my opponent.
May 11, 2014 1:36 p.m.
She makes your opponent's creatures smaller, your's bigger, and she's good on both offense and defense. All that on a single creature is great.
May 11, 2014 1:42 p.m.
I guess I just need to see it in person, sorry lol. I tend to forget it's the likes of gary, snapcaster, and other utility creatures that are commonly on the field and not so many badass creatures of badassitude.

...and if you cast the Phyrexian one, you have the right to ask your opponent to just concede. It's written in Phyrexian. Phyrexian!
May 11, 2014 2:18 p.m.
In legacy shes almost always a board wipe, DRS delver SFM goblin guide, young pyro, TRUE NAME, nimble mongoose before threshold, most of death and taxes, etc
May 11, 2014 3:38 p.m.
KrosanTusker says... #40
TitansFTW Against some decks, you don't even need to ask, Phyrexian version or not...

Elsh Norn is going for 300$
I want one, but not that bad.
May 12, 2014 1:53 p.m.
I have to say the Sword of Feast and Famine with the old card design is my favorite to, and that Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite love the flavor!
May 12, 2014 2:02 p.m.
CouponCollector says... #44
I really love Elesh, just because of how unique the card is. Sure I like all of these cards, but Elesh is filled with flavor in my eyes, being written in Phyrexian. I think that's a really cool thing to do.
meecht says... #2
I want a Nekusar for my EDH deck :(
I really like what they did with Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite , though.
