According to a thread on MtgSalvation, Wizards Play Networks (WPN) will be running the "Buy-a-Box" promotion for Magic: the Gathering's upcomming set Worldwake. The card? Celestial Colonnade. The post on MtgSalvation states that the email said:
"Worldwake is right around the corner and we’re bringing back one of your favorite promotions - The Worldwake Buy-a-Box Promotion. Now is your chance to sign up to get your promotional kit, including the Twenty (20) Celestial Colonnade Promo cards. Scheduling is open now!"
And that the flyer itself reads:
"Here’s an offer sure to appeal to every player: The first 20 people that preorder a Magic: the Gathering Worldwake booster box, will get a free Alternate Art Premium Celestial Colonnade promo card! But hurry, this offer is limited to the first 20 people per store!"
Celestial Colonnade itself is an impressive card. It is a rare nonbasic land with the following text:
"Celestial Colonnade enters the battlefield tapped.
Tap: Add [W] or [U] mana to your mana pool.
[3][W][U]: Until end of turn, Celestial Colonnade becomes a 4/4 white and blue elemental creature with flying and vigilance. It’s still a land."
Celestial Colonnade is an auto include because not only does it help one’s mana base by providing two colors, it doubles as a win condition. The fact that it is a land means that it cannot be countered. Additionally, one does not need to cut business spells from their deck to include Celestial Colonnade. With a high power and toughness of four, Celestial Colonnade is sure to become staple in many white-blue decks.
Be sure to reserve your Alternate Art Premium Celestial Colonnade promo card by supporting your local gaming store and preordering your box of Worldwake. There are several places to preorder a box of Worldwake around Boston.
