Good news :) The Pen logo is Back !! lol
In celebration of today's launch of the new planeswalker novel, Agents of Artifice, Wizards has created an alternate art Jace Beleren card. This promotional version of the card features the cover art from Agents of Artifice by renowned Magic artist Aleksi Briclot.

Here's how it works: Wizards has provided retailers who are running the Conflux pre-release tournament one card for every copy of the book they order* to use as a gift with purchase in their stores.

Give your local game store a call to see if they are participating, and get your hands on one of the cards!

This amuses me :)
Any idea if it's available in other languages?

It's hard to describe how rare these will probably be. I mean, wow, one per book? And since the book is only hardback the stores (like my own) will be looking to sell a $25ish book for each promo they get.

Should be interesting.

They should be about the same rarity as the old ones, which were also 1 per book.

But the old books were paperback and many folks would go into the stores and simply tear the last page out of the book without purchasing it...

These, you MUST purchase the book and it's hardback.. 20$ more than the previous..

this card is tagged LLC 1 ...do you have an idea ?
the reed the the card was limited 5 000 on mtgsalvation... I really not hope so.
Jace from Jace VS Chadra was alternate Foil. Is one is not. So I hope his price will stay resonable.

Yeah I have heard 5000 is the number.
Also, you can only get it by buying the book in a store, not ordering online.
The promo is beautiful and the freakin pen logo is BACK! But, it isn't foil, so I wont be playing it most likely.

Trying to decide if I should order more. Actually, not sure if I can at this point..;-)

do you have the retail price for this book ?
And this promo card is given with the book, or by mail with a coupon ?

Well if my waste of space FedEx driver had gotten here I could have told you. I THINK they are supposed to come with the books, and I think it's a $25 retail price.
