Sorry about the large image for anyone on a slower connection but I figured it'd be best to have it in the post.

Another Red FNM promo which I guess is kinda interesting. Would have been good to get something else but I can live with a promo burn card. The art is decent but I personally like the old art better. Still, it's not horrible and I'd happily play a set of this promo in my burn deck if I could get to an FNM to win me some.

Anyway enough of me rambling; please discuss, etc.

Holy **** that art is amazing. I have to play Standard now.. sigh face.

Wizards is really wanting us to play non-Standard Burn decks lately.

If this card had flavour text it would be the following:

"I am the God of hellfire, and I bring you FIRE!"

I actually hear "Disco Inferno" playing in my head. Seems a bit more appropriate. lol

The art is pretty good but the choice of card could have been better. Eternal Witness , Remand , Shrapnel Blast these were all good choices.

Yeah, Magma Jet isn't the most amazing card they've reprinted as an FNM promo but it could have been a lot worse and as a Burn player it makes me happy that it got some new art.

I'm really excited to see Magma Jet, honestly. I'd love to get a set of these for my DryadSligh deck.

It's not a card I'm all excited about, even though I played it and loved it back in its Standard lifetime (what the heck was I playing back then anyway? I can't remember). The art's alright but I can't help but feel that it could have been more flavourful and epic. Everything's present and correct but I vastly prefer the Justin Sweet original. That was not a magma jet you wanted to be standing in front of.

Nice card in general... I just am not excited about the art >_> I never played fnm before, but now that I can... it's not all that appealing since I like the original art more lol

Magma jet was in the chandra deck. I would have loved to have seen some chandra in there ^_^ I love art that has important characters but even more when its a reprint like the counterspell for jace.
