I've seen some bad photos, but they keep surprising me. How come that with no exception each preview photo of new promos posted on some forum is so lame-ass ? Is it so goddamn difficult to take a decent photo of a card ? In 2009, when every last cheap-ass camera has at least 5 MP and can take a very good photo. I took photos with bad point and shoot compact cameras that were as good as 600 dpi scans...
I guess the idea is to be OMG TEH FIRST to post the card image, so the first photo is the best, blurry, burned or whatever, doesn't matter, it's the FIRST !
The suckers at mwshq will scan them eventually anyway.
End rant.

I've noticed that too, how many of these photos suck out loud. And it's like they're getting WORSE over time.

You're exactly right. We live in a time of "pictures or it didn't happen" and too many of the people with cameras can't be bothered to learn how to use them correctly.

I'm still trying to figure out what that is in the middle of the picture. It looks like someone laid their cards down in a puddle of drool or something.

Yup... It is a puddle of drool or more precisely a closed MacBook cover... The apple is upside down... Once you see it you won't understand how you couldn't see it before.

Loving the Bolts but more precisely the Cancel... Looks like they're really pushing out Counterspell... Sniff...

Ah, thanks. I do see it now. I still like my idea better

The Lightning Bolt certainly does look spiffy, and hopefully it will lower the prices of regular foil ones. I'd like a better look at that Sign in Blood art, though.

Lightning Bolt? WOW great, finally I can complete my FIFTH playset!
Sign in blood?No comment
Cancel!WOW, cancel surely gets the award for the card printed in most editions, which was never played!

Way to go WotC!!
