New Judge Promos

Spoilers, Rumors, and Speculation forum

The newest judge promos have been revealed!

The new artwork on three of them is very nice, but I am very displeased that Yuriko was not given new artwork, and I am further displeased at the inclusion of Reflecting Pool , which, as with Rhystic Study , several months earlier, means that it is unlikely that WotC shall reprint it in a "normal" set at any time, soon, which shall make it even more expensive, which is unfortunate, because that card is very good in EDH format.

What does everyone else have to say about this subject? What are your thoughts about the new judge promos?

I think Yuriko is fine since shes's not available in foil in her current form.

LittleBlueHero, yes, that is true, but I still worry that WotC shall not reprint Reflecting Pool in a "normal" set at any time in the near future, now that they have printed it as a judge promo.

You aren't wrong. Wizards seems to constantly underestimate the size of the audience they have with commander. Did you hear about the brawl decks?

Sets of four are selling for over 200 bucks, individual decks anywhere from 75 to 100 bucks the commanders are all like 50 bucks on card kingdom.

Wizards set they underestimated the decks popularity. What did they think would happen when they made a supplement with commander staples.

The first of the judge promos for 2020 have been revealed, and they are Demonic Tutor , Enlightened Tutor , Gamble , and Spellseeker .

Those are all nice cards, but all of them have been previously printed in the new card frame, and several of them have been printed numerous times, so I feel that WotC could have chosen better cards for this group.

However, there are still six more judge promos to be revealed for 2020, so I shall maintain hope that those cards shall be good. Gavin Verhey revealed that all of the judge promos in 2020 would be "tutors," so I am hoping to see Worldly Tutor finally receive a reprint in the modern card frame, since its absence from Eternal Masters was particularly glaring.

What does everyone else say about these cards? Do you like them?

Another new promo card has been revealed, and it is Sylvan Tutor , which is so close, and yet, so far away from Worldly Tutor : why did WotC choose that card? Given that they reprinted Enlightened Tutor as a judge promo, there is absolutely no good reason to not have chosen Worldly Tutor , instead.
