I just realized I'll be devastated if this isn't (standard) constructed playable. Too much hype for a card that I may not even care about in the long run. I'm no longer invested in this.
Realistically, I wonder how long this'll take. The better question is, how many active posters do we have here 2 mtgsalvatyion? We could busrt that bubble really quick if our numbers exceed the 10,000 mark.
It'll be great to get this preview before April 9th.
We could if the damned app WORKED. It doesn't, or work without consistence.
WoTC, PLEASE - the next time you plan something flashy, plan accordingly.

I'm a Spike Vorthos - I love lore and flavor, but only if the cards are competition worthy.
According to the active users, we have 450 people viewing this thread right now. I'm guessing at least all of those people have tried to share, not counting those that don't have facebook for whatever reason.

I just ordered the Buy-a-Box Card for Return to Ravnica. Its called Supreme Verdict.

It's a Divine Verdict with tomatoes and sour cream. mmm.
We have at least 5000 members that have been active on this forum in the past day. If even half of those people share the link, we should easily have 10,000 by this evening.
I believe that I have enough social competence to slip into a party or two, potentially wooing some attractive females that would not mind spending the evening performing the booty dance on me.
Yeah, I was curious of the rational behind that myself.
Everyone knows that playing fantasy games is like...one step away from worshipping Satan himself! It's worse than playing video games - and THOSE make you shoot up schools.
Everyone knows that. The news said so.

I write a blog. It covers Magic, DnD, and a ton of other nerdy stuff! It can be found here:
Hope you enjoy it!
Even then, I know far worse churches. Private = Private, work = work. Mind the capital letters for emphasis.
Also, I have to say I don't like this marketing either. Not because I am ashamed to say that I play a card game (because I'm not), but because it will annoy my friends. But since they spammed me with farmville... ATTACK, OH GLORIOUS AVACYN!

But for what purpose? Yea we get "spoilers" but on the other hand do you really want to spam your friends and contacts with nonsense they dont care about? Hiding and slowly doling out your products info is only a good marketing strategy up to a point. We will get the spoilers eventually even if it never gets to whatever number of facebook treat points.
If you participate in this kind of nonsense "social media marketing" you only encourage it. Its best to not participate and stop it now before it becomes the norm. I refuse to participate and instead wrote an email to wizards to express my dislike of the marketing strategy and their poorly working app. I hope others will choose to do the same.

Alright, it just got past 2500, so we're 25% of the way there already. with the original posting about 1.5 hours ago... so we should be spoiling in about 4.5 hours. (right around 4:45pm for me, which is MST Arizona)

Folks, if you don't want to publicly advertise that you play Magic or don't have any Facebook friends who would care about the link, I'm fairly sure you can just "share" the page on your own profile and set the range of people who can see it to "only me."

A.) I could have swore that is what facebook was for?
B.) That train has left the station, returned, left, returned, left, returned... You get the point.

Well keep in mind people are coming home from school and getting off of work within in the next 2 hours, and might not be able to check phones/accounts at these places... I think we'll see it pretty quickly... it's the right time for this kind of promotion to run, that's for sure.

I love how D&D got a bad rap and it hasn't gone away. Would play D&D if I had friends playing and a goat to sacrifice, great game.
Do they work at chik fil a? Got it to work here, although it only said 540 when I did it.

Something tells me someone in that chain is exaggerating.
I make *plenty*, and my employer lets me play on the clock when things are slow.
I'm pretty sure it would actually be illegal to fire someone on those grounds,
unless they work at Games Workshop or something
