Judge Promos - Pro Tour Avacyn Restored

Welcome back to  yet another edition of the emporium, this particular i'll be taking a look at the 2 new judge promotion cards that were announced yesterday and give my thoughts on each one, so without further ado let's see these judge promos.


Interesting i must admit, Command Tower and Sneak Attack are the new promos this time around, very interesting, Command Tower right now sits about 5 bucks,  Sneak Attack sits at about 25 dollars right now due to the simple fact it is a legacy staple card these days, impressive honestly, since both are legacy legal but one is only useful in that format, guess which one, yep the sneak attack. Command Tower is good and all but it was made specifically for Elder Dragon Highlander and not any other format, though it is nice to have a promo version of this finally revealed not even a year after the release of the commander product which sold out pretty much in North America the first day of it's release. Sneak Attack however has neat new art to go along with the new shiny black bordered frame and updated wording, meaning you can expect this to be a 60-70 dollar foil in the long run and Command Tower looks to be at about 40-50 dollars roughly by my estimates based on the past promos that are given to judges.

So you ask now how will people get their hands on these, well if you are a judge and you judge Barcelona this year you'll get a full set according to a source on MTGSalvation, GP Judges get 2 each i think, correct me if i am wrong and if you aren't a judge at any of the events well the only real way is to wait and see the ebay listings or check the usual sites like Star City Games, Channel Fireball, Blackborder, etc to ensure you get at least 1 of them for your commander deck of choice, anyways that's it for this edition of the emporium, another short but sweet one, until next time this is vergil signing off.
