MTG Salvation

Friend found this in Arizona.

Whoa. That's a $40 card! Wonder if that's a mistake. The copyright line doesn't seem to suggest a new printing.

Wow! Lucky guy, that thing's worth around $50 iirc. wish my local stores would sell stuff like that

Those are packed by local distributors. They clearly accidentally put that in not realizing it was meant for them.

They lack the timestamp. I'm not sure these are the original promos...

According to Reddit there's been several of these going around. This is not an isolated incident; none of them have the promo stamps.

Weird. I wonder if they buylist the same or if they'll go for much higher since they're unique promos for the time being.

Considering the holiday shopping season starts right around late October, Wizards may have printed some to help the distributor sell the loose booster packs as holiday gifts.

Alternatively, maybe Wizards is going to start using those Holiday promos for this purpose moving forward during Holidays?

Whaaaaaaaaa?
Reported to our Brand team. Seems we've got a mystery on our hands, boys.

This is awesome! I want them. (:

I found one at Target last night.

Sounds like some holiday gimmick.

A few years ago i picked up a pack from target where you could not see the promo card. I figured I'd take a chance on it, turned out to be Akroma.

Let the store blitz begin...

I hit up two Targets and two Wal-Marts here in NJ and didn't find one today.

I love this idea! I used to get these every year from a local shop, but then they started eBaying them, and they got way harder to get a hold of. I put them in EDH decks and goofy casual decks.

Most desirable target for Rite of Replication ever.

I love Christmas. Therefore, I love Christmas themed MTG cards.

Alas, cannot be affording!

Such things only happens in the US of A

Picked one up today. Will the promo be worth anything? At least my Dragons pack had a foil Roast in it.

Was. If this is widespread, then it was a $40 card. Promo Broodmate Dragon was over $100 iirc and then now it's more like $1.50 when this happened to it.

Maybe not the same, but Broodmate is legal and Tiger isn't. Where's the extra demand supposed to come from to keep it propped up?

It's just really weird they would do this.

Nothing at my store

how are they available at Wal-Mart? i work there and haven't seen anything come in. is this legit? that's a tiny pic,, hmmm

I found one at my walmart not sure what's going on.
