I think that the normal has a little bit stronger pic, but i put a strong vote behind the pre-release.
Here's why:
Always Foil, no turning down a perfectly good copy because it wasn't shiny. In that vein, I also like shiny things, so foil is better
I like running pre-release cards. They feel like a more meaningful edition. My cube runs pre-release or release versions where ever possible. That gold text says that this card is special

prerelease titan by a mile. i usually hate prerelease arts but i'm so glad i got one of those prere sun titans even though i missed the event. my girlfriend got it thrown in along with the promo birds and some neat playmats when she bought a box at the shop i used to frequent.
When I see Healing Salve, I'm often like "Oh girl, I wish I could turn every card into this." Thanks they removed the gain life part, otherwise this would have been broken.

If I could choose one I'd go with the Rebecca Guay art. It's also matches the card functionality the best, the mages summon is being returned to the Aether.
My rule on art: when one of your options is mirage, choose mirage
That does seem to be the correct choice the vast majority of the time...
(I'll state that an exception for me is Pacifism, you either go Onslaught or Tempest--I run foil onslaught)
I have been leaning towards mirage, but getting an original printing of 'rang in our cube still is holding some sway, I like seeing iconic originals. hmmm... mirage prolly still wins anyway

I think i'd go for the fnm one. As iconic as the original is, the fnm is much cleaner. I like the green saturation and the less manic demeanor. On top of that, the fnm is a promo card, which gets it major bonus points for me.
Edit: I will say however that the new promo symbol makes it not the blowout it should have been. the star was sweet on old border foils at the bottom because it was unobtrusive. as a set symbol tho? laaaaaaaame.

I like the pre-release one more than the normal one. The normal one looks a little too Fabio for me. The pre-release one is menacing and huge.

The 5th edition Ice Flow has garbage art (and is white bordered), so I agree with the Ice Age one.
I do prefer Gorilla Shaman #106 (The art used for Coldsnap Theme Decks) a tad more than #107 though.

So, we realized today that by some colossal oversight, boomerang is not in our cube. this obviously must be remedied.
Opinions on the edition?
7th would be foil, but that just means here that it would be another black-bordered option, not that it takes priority over image here

It happened to be the M10 version.

When I ran Pacifism, I ran 8th/9th/xth (don't remember which set exactly). I love that zombie.

I'm partial to the FNM one. What's other people's opinions?

I'm for the original one. It's easy recognizable and great art imo.
And I don't like the FNM mark either.

Also the FNM symbol usually drags it down for me.

it's a one mana 3/3, so the manic demeanor makes a lot of sense. i really like the original art.
