I like the new cards. And I like that they are not foil. They are a lot easier to scan this way :-) The question remains whether European collectors will have to import their new Arena promo cards from overseas in the future.

Hi Ralph.
I'm not sure,I understand that part :-\
You mean US collectors and others instead?

Since it is said the program will replace the Arena League in Europe, we can assume that the Arena League will continue in countries outside of Europe. Therefore, European collectors will have to obtain any future Arena League promo cards from those countries where the Arena League is still running.

Hi Ralph.
I see your point ;-)
Where's the Gathering in All these Promos?Cards that you can only obtain in Pro Tour in X Country,Arena in The US,Gateway in Europe,Special Salvat cards in Europe,Promo cards in Japan,etc....
I believe Life of a Promos and Rarities Collector is getting more and more difficult in these days ;-D

I really hope we have those in North America. Foil bad commons are rather turdy.

Amen! I love non-foil promo cards and the two shown are very nice (especially the Javelineers). I hope they will bring something like this to the States.

well, lets start an overseas network to ensure a steady supply of promos for both sides ;-)

if only we had an established online community, possibly with somekind of forum and information database that we could use to contact each other and acquire the cards we wanted...


oh wait...

Arena isn't currently that well subscribed in Europe, well England anyway, probably since the promo cards aren't very good, so it may be quite hard to get hold of these cards. Currently the easiest place to get arena promos is on ebay from the US

The only place I've seen arena well-subscribed is in Japan. Basically nobody does it in Canada because the promos are worthless.
