That list is made of awesome! Not as good for cubers as FTV:Exiled, but it's still excellent. I'm surprised neither of the other two swords are in there. Did the poster list what the sword does?
What's the best online source to get one of these?
Do we know what the sword does at this point? There are several cards in this that I'd gladly welcome foil versions of to my cube, but I have no desire to pay more than MSRP for this, so I doubt I'll ever have any of these.
Would anyone who has a good LGS who will sell these at MSRP be able to get an extra? I'd paypal you the money and shipping costs. I'm just not sure I'll be able to get one here.

I might be able to get another one up at my local card shop, it's funny, I looked at the sign up sheet when I ordered and this was the list.

So hopefully the vendor won't give him the rest of the copies and I'll be able secure two I'll use one for myself and then if I get that second one rant I'll let you know and I'll sell it to you for what I paid(including taxes and shipping it to you). Which might be, if your in the US like 41 bucks

Want to Cube but don't have one? Check the map if anyone is in your area and get cubing!
My shop does a raffle for FTV. I hope I win one this time. I had to buy my FTV:E off a friend for $60. I was smart enough to let the hype go down on the thing.
Eventualy it seems like were going to be able to build a cube out of nothing but FTV, Judge, and other Various Promos.

That would be super of you! Yeah, just let me know!
Local card shops. The online vendors will gouge you.
Yeah, see, that's the problem. It's awesome that you're lucky enough to have a LGS that's cool and let's you reserve this thing at MSRP, though. I don't really have a LGS, and the only one I do have (which is like an hour away) would end up giving some out as prize support for different standard tourneys or selling them for around what SCG will sell them for. Which is BS, but whatev.
I don't really want a lot of these cards anyway, I don't think. I mean I like the old border a lot better than the new border and barring alternate artwork, I don't care much for old cards in the new border. I think old artwork usually looks really bad in the new border because it seems like it was drawn/painted with the old brown border in mind (ie Mox Diamond).
Dude, you do realise that the Mox Diamond has new and very sexy artwork, right? Volkan Baga did one to accompany the Moxen that were issued as prizes over the last few years.
I am sad that we didn't get a new Winter Orb in this set. I was certain we'd get that card.
What? Mox Diamond is the card left of the Sword of Body and Mind, and right of the new Isochron Scepter in the FTV:R pic.... and the centre Mox in the playmat art. No doubt about it. It looks exactly the same, look at the position of the hands. And the chain of the pendant hanging between the wrists.
As far as I can tell from the pic with the box contents, the art zooms into the hand with the diamond in it (the mox being to the left of the sword pic.)

Actually, the Mox/hands look the same, but the background is completely different looking. From the Relic picture we've got, it looks like they used some sort of crazy 5 color background instead of Baga's wonderful marble background that was in the playmat art.

On closer inspection, you could well be right, yeah. But maybe it's just a product of the light reflecting from the foiling. Hard to say until we get a better image. Seems strange that they would commission an artwork and then get the background redone.

If it is in fact the exact background on the playmat, I'm a lot more excited about this FTV than I was before.

Yeah I noticed the different background too and hoped it was the light reflecting from the foil or the camera. I guess we'll know soon(ish) anyway!
I actually noticed that they changed the art not too long after I posted that. I wish we had better images of the cards that got new arts, but oh well. There's nothing in this thing that I need and don't have for my cube, so not getting it isn't really that big of a deal. Maybe eventually I'll end up with a couple of the cards with alternate arts for the pimp factor, but if not, that's fine too.
I've heard a lot of people say that. But all my foils warp equally badly, and particularly the Shadowmoor to Shards Bock ones. Even storing them with dessicant and a dehumidifier, they all warp quite a lot. If anything, the FTV ones are slightly better. I don't think the South coast of the UK is particularly humid, either, so it's strange.
Playing with warped foils, I have to really fight the urge to reach across to my opponent's cards and start bending them back
What's the best online source to get one of these?

You can tell it has new art in the picture on the OP of the FTV thread, but you can't really make it out.

There's an attachment to a partial new mox diamond art in the OP: http://forums.mtgsalvation.com/showthread.php?t=248387
I know the picture is different. I wanted a link to the art, because you can't tell what it is in the other picture.
That would be cool, but none of the cards in the FTV image look like the one in this OP, so... ya.
