Yea, I was just home for a week, it would’ve come in and I’d not have been there. anyway, I liked it better when the books came in the fat packs. Those were a great deal.

ggodo , your retailers may just be needing someone to request it– I know a lot of places would stock stuff like that if they knew people were looking for it.

I didn’t see it in any retailers, so I never had a shot. I really wanted it too.

Who’s the artist on the map piece at the top o’ the story? I’ve seen this piece several times in connection with Zendikar, and I’d love to have a print of it in my game library room.

n/m: my google-fu returned “Franz Vohwinkel” as the illustrator

Mordicai, go to the website, they post pieces of the guide that would have been every once and a while. One just went up today. Take a look.

Phooey; I sort of figured it had low sales, but I didn’t want to bother checking Bookscan. Sad, though; I was damn impressed, & online is great & all but gimme the story & pictures on paper for the Grade A material.

mordicai: Sadly, no more “Planeswalker’s Guides” in print; didn’t sell enough to justify them. The information that would otherwise be there will be (and has been) posted on the DailyMTG site.

I had great success running U/W Ally control at the prerelease. If not for a play error on my part (missed a counter on Luminarch Ascension) I would have easily been in the top 8. The biggest thing about the deck was that no one expected that style deck to come out of limited Zendikar. Admittedly, I was fortunate enough to have pulled 3 Stonework Pumas to make that come together.

Would be interested in hearing more about your play experience with the set.

Reading these posts is great fun; I still don’t want to play, but I like vicariously experiencing it. I tried explaining someone getting Black Lotus to my wife the other day at the grocery store. So.

You folks might know: any news on another “Planeswalker’s Guide…” style book?

I’m trying to organize a Zendikar draft with my highschool buddies over CHristmas. Odds are high none of us will have seen a zendikar card before then, so I’m gonna send this around as a warning.
