I don't get why the FNM promo is a card that's rotating in a month. This would have been cool a year ago.
I know the process of desigining and printing these takes time, but surely you know certain commons/uncommons that will be hits?

They always do that. Wasn't Terror a promo after it was already replaced by Doom Blade?

Usually the card is already gone from standard or close when they print it. It's a shame that this one is nothing special though. Cards like Pridemgage, K Grip, & Brainstorm are all legacy staples so they still get a lot of mileage. Unless this manages to squeeze into modern I don't think it will be played outside of cube.

The art does look nice.
I've been playing (with some gaps) since the late 90's.
Land Destruction can be fun!
I really don't get the Command Tower backlash.

Moonmist is nice, but I was really hoping we would get new Liliana for a wallpaper... She would make a great pin-up girl :P

Why isn't there a right wallpaper size for those of us who use 16:9 screens?

A deck is not "mono-blue" if it contains a Progenitus. You can't play Progenitus by tapping nothing but Islands. It's debatable whether a deck that casts Dimir Guildmage  with islands and uses him to draw cards is blue, but even if you only plan to get a card on the table with Polymorph or whatever, it still counts toward you're deck's color.
My New Phyrexia Writing CreditsMy M12 Writing CreditsAs far as the benefit of the rest of Magic is concerned, gold cards in Legends were executed perfectly. They got all the excitement a designer could hope out of a splashy new mechanic without using up any of the valuable design space. Truly amazing.
