Bad that it is leaving Standard but a nice card to make a promo
Is it a Dragon's Maze booster behind it? soo RTR block's booster? Strange cause i would say they wouldd print 3 M14 boosters with it...
Good product for you that want a draft of a "old" block
I spoke with the guy who stocks these one time. They just throw in booster packs from boxes that were damaged and unable to be sold. One time last summer, a bunch of them had Rise of the Eldrazi packs in them (and I got a Linvala out of one of them). Most of the time, it's Dragon's Maze and a Core Set pack or two, but once in awhile there is some really good stuff in there.

More than once i have seen full decks in plastic boxes at Target. One time they had these 4 slot plastic boxes with multiple Commander precon decks in them for 29.99 each. grabbed all that they had. Always keep an eye on the big box store magic collection they tend to take thier overstock and sell it at crazy low prices.
At target i was lucky enough to find a box of the random sealed decks stuffs with 3 divine vs demonic for only 30$ and at some dollar store found 6-7 of those random pack with lots of worldwake inside.
Man, another new one already? I haven't even seen the Angelic Skirmisher promo in my area yet. All of the stores around here still have that Hamletback Goliath promo that's been floating around forever...
I wish my WalMart carried ANY magic products. Would like to not have to order everything online.

"To realize that all your life—you know, all your love, all your hate, all your memory, all your pain—it was all the same thing. It was all the same dream. A dream that you had inside a locked room. A dream about being a person. And like a lot of dreams there's a monster at the end of it."
Xathrid Necromancer is a 0.43 crap rare that is rotating out of standard. They could at least do something that is valuable, recently printed, still rotating, that people actually want. Just from M14 my top two picks would be Archangel of Thune and mutavualt. From return to ravnica Abrupt Decay
Or how about a mythic rare? Even a bad mythic rare would be nice to have as a promo again.
The necromancer is actually one of the more playable promos they've done, along with Knight Exemplar and Terastodon. But I think you're being a little unreasonable in your expectations. The card is supposed to be a nice little bonus for buying the three-pack, which typically retails for $11 to $12 -- at which price you're already getting the full value of the three packs inside. If you want a value card, just buy singles or crack a pack like everyone else.
I remember back around the end of scars block, I found a bunch of these at target with 2 Worldwake boosters each. Bought the whole bunch of them,
Honestly, Xathrid Necromancer is a good promo for this. It's a fun playable card with lots of casual appeal. Same reason I liked Knight Exemplar, Sunblast Angel, and Broodmate Dragon.
Seems fine. Man I haven't seen these things in a while though. Hope my Target didn't stop selling them. I had a couple of New Phyrexia packs in one once and got an Elesh Norn. It's a pretty cool way to get older sets that have money rares.

Yeah, this is a common thing, and it's awesome. I grabbed 2 of those $29.99 decks that each two Zedruu decks and a Shadowmoor starter pack (random pack, not a precon). One of them had another commander deck I think and the other had the pack of basic lands from a fat pack, lol.

I've seen the plastic boxes at target as well. Managed to get the Demonic half of Divine vs. Demonic, the Orzhov starter from Guildpact, a starter from Shadowmoor, and an M10 starter.

You don't call "dying to removal" if the removal is more expensive in resources than the creature. If you have to spend BG (Abrupt Decay), or W + basic land (PtE) to remove a 1G, that is not "dying to removal". Strictly speaking Goyf dies to removal, but actually your removal is dying to Goyf.
The problem with these products is they only really move if they've something 'valuable' in them--so random ones fly off the shelves quickly, then leftover ones rot on shelves forever. Eventually, the 'rotting on shelves forever' product is no longer carried by the store, with shelf space going to something else.
I could only find one left at my local Wal-Mart, with plenty of the Giant behind them, and it had M-freaking-12 and M13 with a pack of Dragons Maze. Talk about a terrible set up. I assume they were fairly random and all the good combinations were already purchased.

"It's like some kind of Voltron... made of elephants??"
I love these. Got a plastic box one that had a pack of Zendikar inside, opened a foil Marsh Flats.
I usually scan these whenever I'm at a big box store by myself, although as mentioned, a lot of the stuff is total crap, but as mentioned above, there's always a chance.
