Friday Night Magic Promotion Card: July 2011

Yes it's that time again we got our newest promo card of the year and it follows a certain announcement with a rare wizard that is appearing in M12, let's take a look the original of this card though before we begin.


Yes it is Jace's Ingenuity which was a planeswalker spell from Magic 2011, it was perhaps the most underused of the 3 walker cards in the last core set and such has seen little play aside from drafts, now for those curious let's take a look at it's promo card for the next month's Friday Night Magic events.


Alternate art or not it is cool, because for 1) thing they got rid of the nasty FNM watermark in the text box making it that much of a better promotion card, 2) it's artwork is just beautiful and i think it represents the spell perfectly, 3) This is the 2011 promotion card for Magic's Friday Night magics around the world starting in July of this year, so what that means is the following. These promotion cards are given out as prizes for winning a friday night magic, either to the 1st or 2nd place person depending if the 1st place person didn't sweep the night with a 4-0 victory over his/her opponents, the other 2 at my local game store are given out as random door prizes to particpants at the end of the night, along with whatever cards they got from the event, i do not know how it works at other game stores so please do tell me in the comments below, note this is the first promotion card that cannot be sold if a game store has extra copies of this card so don't go looking for it in a local game store because of the new wizards policies on promotion cards for Friday Night Magic. Instead any other copies leftover are given out as door prizes during the event, that's what should happen i hope all the game stores observe this policy i sincerely hope so, well that's all for now, till next time magic fans, this is vergil signing off.
