I saw this at my local Target last night, and I thought I would share.
Target has been repackaging old MTG stock in value packs for a while now, but I found some that were legitimate values.
They have $9.99 2 "deck" packs.
These include:
1 booster (all of the ones in the store were Mirrodin Besieged)
2 randomized "decks." These ranged from the B/R Planar Chaos theme deck to various Scars of Mirrodin Block theme decks, to Riku's Commander deck. There were also some other, older theme decks. Additionally, there were some "decks" that were just a pile of random commons/uncommons with land. There were also some "decks" that were just a big pile of land.
The Scars of Mirrodin theme decks had their foil rare facing out, and the Riku deck had Riku facing out. The Planar Chaos deck was in its original small cardboard box.
These come up now and again. They are put together by the company the stocks the ront end magic sections at target. I talked to the stocking guy and called the company of a few times.
You get decent stuff for $10 if you look for the right decks. It's cool that we are seeing commander decks in these now.
I will have to check my local targets again today.

yeah, last time they did this, i got the premium slivers deck, the allies from zendikar, and the red m10 deck. the time before i got the elves deck from elves vs goblins and the naya domain deck from conflux.
@Tyrann - No pics, I am sorry. The packaging is a clear plastic clamshell with two spaces bumped out that can hold 100 cards each. They were stocked near the front with the rest of the TCG and collectible cards.
I just checked another local store, they were stocked as well. I saw some Archenemy decks (without the oversized cards, alas). I picked up the pack that contained the "Metalcraft" theme deck from SoM and the "Battle Cries" deck from MB.
These would make awesome holiday presents for your sibling/niece/nephew/cousin/whatever. Teaching a family member to play Magic and getting in a couple of games at Aunt Sally's house might as well be a present to yourself.
Yea, but I've never seen archenemy decks or premium decks
One time my brother and I got lucky enough to get a U/W/B Archenemy deck WITH an Elspeth deck from the duel deck, however they took out the Elspeth. ._.
When talking to the restocker at target, who works for the company that puts these together, he said they break down all unsold, sealed decks at some point. He was picking up the left over fire and lighting PDS stuff that did not sell at 50% off and said those would end up in repacks like that at some point. I'm not surprised to see some better things in here. I pulled several Elsepth decks from the duel deck with the 2x swords to plowshares.

She wasn't missing. The Planeswalker associated with the deck was never included with their deck.
they walkers are part of the deck, but they are not part of the plastic wrapped portion of the deck, which is the part put into the $10 double-deck thing
Okay, yeah, driving to every target in the area today
Just FYI; the company that runs the trading card division of this usually puts out new decks at around 7PM. That's when you should head out to look for these; it's how I got my ~5-6 deck packs last time I went, all archenemy/planechase or elspeth vs tezz.

I saw them at only one of my Targets before. I didn't know what they were at the time, so I just bought one that had Sphinx of Magosi and Conquering Manticore foils. I thought they'd just be random assortments, but it's pretty awesome you can get two full theme decks and a booster for 10 bucks.

I've seen archenemy, planeschase, and a variety of the dual decks in these packages. When you know when to look for them you can really get some good deals. I picked up these 2 times ago with worldwake packs in them. You're correct in the fact that premium decks haven't been in them before, but the OP also didn't claim F&L were in there.
I got some yesterday from my Target. There were Commander decks (Ghave and Mimeoplasm) and several Fire and Lightning (minus the display cards). Also, each one came with a second deck and a Mirrodin Besieged booster.
So, $ 30= 2 commander decks, 2 Fire and Lightning, 2 M12 theme decks, and 3 MBS boosters.

Missing the 10 display cards in F&L kind of makes it not worth it. What were the removed cards from the commander decks?

probably just the oversized
Yep, the commander decks have all 100 cards, they just don't have the big ones. And The F&L came with bolts and figures, so I was happy.

My Trade Thread
For $10, I'd say its worth it. The Savaging Ooze alone is worth $15.
I am definitely going to go look for these.
