Summer holiday is my guess. At least as far as kids going to school are concerned, the summer is one long holiday. Sure they might have to get a job, but at least there are no more teachers, no more books, no more kids with dirty looks.

RIP Batman guy. I hope somebody picks up the slack now that you are gone. Sick children need their Batman.
at a guess, I'd say that the promo will be a decent uncommon, or an uncommon they THINK is decent. Fingers crossed for a Topplegeist, or (wishful thinking) Duskwatch Recruiter.
The only promos I remember right now are Dreg Mangler from RTR and Scythe Leopard from BFZ. Anyone recall the others?
I have neither the skill to correctly and accurately analyze this set in the context of current and future formats after 12 hours of exposure, nor the hubris to delude myself into believing that I do.

STOP using "dude/bro" as a pejorative or insult. Grow up.

.....only to troll us with some card I didn't even know existed until now.
How would it hurt them to print cool/thematically relevant cards as promos rather than seemingly randomly chosen draft fodder?
Why does that card not even have flying? Near every vampire and their mother that are just hanging out in their arts have flying, this guy has nearly all skyline in his art, no flying.
If the lid hasn't improved from the bfz box I don't see the point. They even had a video out last time about the work they did - and good work it was, on the base only. The tops routinely tore at the corners even in shipping and if not from bearing any weight on top. Not sure why they can't get these back in line with the quality they had for RTR.
Thanks for the link to the review Yamahako, Looks like this is one of the better gift boxes WoTC has offered.
I particularly like the card-sized sticker sheets. The previous full-sized (about 8"x8") sheets of stickers were not ideal for storing away for later use.
As previously mentioned, the alt-art foil is a strange choice to help sell this product, but as far as value goes, this looks like a great deal despite the throwaway promo. Will be picking this one up for sure!
It's a super solid box. Definitely better than the BFZ one. For some reason the little paper cover on mine is facing a different direction than the box lid proper, but it kinda adds to the whole "Innistrad's mad crazy right now" vibe.
Release May 13th
It was announced with the other SOI stuff.

I also pulled a Nahiri, the Harbinger, and a Thing in the Ice... so I'm not complaining at all.
And holy crap, Nahiri jumped like $15 overnight.
