I vividly rememeber the Dude literally sitting next to me in the original Zendikar draft got a mox sapphire. I was super disappointed, it was almost me. But the guy was also an army medic so I figured if anyone deserved it, it's that guy.
I was doing some exploring while on my lunch break and all of cards depicted here are also available as templates on her website. So that you can print off the proxies yourself. https://kompykrafts.com/
I think this is definitively an open and shut case.
Collect these if you want.
However, these are NOT Magic: The Gathering Cards!
Also, did anyone else recently get their Phyrexian praetors (and other) drops delivered?
The packaging changed and shrank.
I was surprised to see drops no longer come in those nice black boxes.
Yes I did and yes I am. I liked the old boxes. I could carry like 9 double sleeved edh decks in my backpack with them.
Edit: also the new box inserts use too much glue. I bent one of my bonus foil land cards trying to unstuck the wrapper from the package.
Also looking at the poster's/leaker's Twitter feed she appears to create and do commissions for magic proxies. So I'm even more convinced this is a joke.
While we all know wizards marketing policy has been questionable as of late, I find a reprint of Rick, Steadfast Leader in another secret lair after the initial secret lair printing controversy to be a bit... too much salt on a still open wound. And for that reason I'm leaning towards these being fake as well.
As someone who proudly owns a foil Bloomtender and remembers what happened with the reprint of Devoted Druid, I'm not not looking forward to the impact this will likely cause.
Thanks for responding.
That's actually reassuring and somewhat good news to anticipate for me since I traded my only copy once the price rose too high to ignore when I honestly felt the card didn't (and still doesn't) justify its tag whatsoever according to my own internal instinctive barometer. It's one of those cards which got printed during my hiatus and I never locked in a playset because I honestly never felt it was necessary for my builds upon returning a few years after. Even though I appreciate its ramp potential, it's still a vulnerable 1/1 2-drop, and there's a part of me which would still prefer paradise druid who protects herself and is much more likely to survive a turn after entering. Also, now that Jund has a hierarch of its own, we'll probably see fewer and fewer 2drop ramp creatures in general. Devoted druid got way too high for what was originally a common (the only reason being because that set had a low print run) and was reasonably expected to crash upon being eventually reprinted (at any rarity below rare), so the result was unsurprising. However, when it comes to cards which were originally rare (or mythic) and get reprinted in box sets as opposed to packs, it's more difficult for me to evaluate the likely degree of impact on current market prices.
I mean it's print to order so there will be a whhhhhoooolllleeee lot of these these added to the supply stream. I do anticipate that the original will hold some value $100+ maybe? as it's a gorgeous Chippy foil (the main reason I sought one out for myself) but this will undoubtedly take a hit as the number of players who prefer quality over quantity is a niche market.
If these had been non foil or if they had simply changed the artwork, I wouldn't have any issue with this. But the fact they chose to have this as a foil drop feels like a slap in the face to the work the judges put in and the reward that came from of the original judge foil Norn. To me it's not about price, so much as the continuing precedent they are setting.
???
im confused this is available in non-foil it’s $30
I meant if it had only been available in non foil I would be OK with it. I edited my original comment for clarification
Archaeomancer and the Enchantress are great.
The dryad too, but I can do without it since I already have several foils.
Very curious to see how much bloom tender and primal vigor drop as a result of these prints

Thank you, I don't post very often. Couldn't remember how to link images -_-
Also randomly it's dated May 7th (it's from the future!)
I would type more details, but I'm at work
Wait but in the storyline Vorenclex either killed Esika or compleated her. So another sleeper agent perhapse?
Or not enough Ajanis?
