Holy crap! Has anyone heard anything else about this? Is it possible that WotC is releasing a special DCI promo set for the second Type 1 Open, or something like that?

Is that wording really the best way to handle Balance's effect ? It seems very clunky to me.

It's the same wording as the oracle wording right now, so no big changes there. Nice enough card, though beta/alpha balance is a hell lot more stylish imho  It will be interesting to see what the last cards of that set is going to be though.. |

So this is card 2 of 6. What was the 1st in the series?
Also this card is on the reserved list right? Why stop at Balance? I guess this was printed in Rev and 4th, but still. I'd like to see some power!

So awesome. Now we have to decide, officially, which is the more pimp version...this or an Alpha?  I still cant justify spending the money on an Intuition and now there's this  |

Fuck that.
8th face, shoddy foil, ugly ass DCI image, and Kev Walker art
versus oldschool face, alpha corners, dark text box, and Mark Poole art.
I'll stick with alpha/beta, thanks. Hell, I'd run bb asian or bb german before playing with that crap.

Dude, new frame > old frame. Anyone who says otherwise is just being nostalgic.
And Kev Walker is a billion times better than Mark Poole.

Heh.
I sometimes hate being a whore for Foils. Kev Walker is also my favourite Magic artist.
I was really debating whether or not I should replace the Beta Balance in my Keeper deck with this one, but then I soon remembered...
Beta > Foil
Beta Balances are so much harder to find anyway.

They have one of these puppies at Neutral Ground which I just like to stare at and pretend its mine. Too bad they overprice their cards enourmously. They put the Balance at $150!  |

As expected, balance has dropped in price already. I have seen a few go for $65-75 on ebay...
I can't believe the price of foils... saw 4x brainstorms go for $125 the other week.
I will just stick with good old BB (alpha/beta preferrably).
