Pretty uninteresting, certainly not enough to get me to play more than I do now. Both are not Constructed playable. Neonate is a bad Slith Firewalker and Curse is pretty bad outside of Limited, even in a turbo fog/ mill deck. I am dissappoint.
Please stop complaining when every card is not tier 1 tournament worthy. Especially Gateway promos, which are not for you. Hardcore tournament players already ruined FNM because good cards were being made for it, I don't want to see you ruining any other tournaments.

Not sure where else to put this (or even if this is new info) and didn't want to start a new thread, but it looks like Boneyard Wurm is going to get some sort of promotional card too. Mark Rosewater posted a picture of some stuff he got from the employee prerelease and in with a stack of promos (including the version of Bloodcrazed Neonate at the beginning of this thread) you can see a copy of Boneyard Wurm.
I guess I'll bring it up again: When is the rumor mill going to start having rumors in it? This is a question I want to know the real answer to from a moderator. I want to know why this isn't in an announcement forum of some kind.
To illustrate my point: Can't wait till this gets confirmed.

There's a news forum that no one ever uses for some reason.

It is confirmed, there are pictures that maro posted.
Boneyard wurm is the 3rd gateway promo for Innistrad. We got our gateways in the store yesterday. Sadly, we got 1/3 as many boneyard wurms as we did curses and neonates. On the plus side, its BEAUTIFUL. If no one manages to beat me to it, I'll take a picture of it when I get to work tonight.

Be happy you got any Boneyard Wurms. Only advanced stores get them at all.
Neonate and Curse were the reasons I would sleep in on Saturday Mornings, rather than go spend my money on Magic cards. Multiple promos like that, as well as the disbanding of Player Rewards and such are the reasons I stopped spending my money on Magic at all. I don't want to see a decline in incentives, I want to see more done for the players. They kind of achieve this thru the new products they release, including Commander, Premium Decks and From The Vault... they just seem to focus only on the cash grabs these days.
Sigh. The cash grab argument. I'm not a huge fan of capitalism in general, but it IS aggravating to hear these sorts of comments. When WOTC gets to the level of sayyyy, I dunno, Activision, EA, or Gamestop, THEN we can complain about cash grabs. But simply because they aren't giving you ENOUGH freebies you wanna whine about it? Yay first world problems.
How about some real promos, Wizards? Like here is a short list of commons and uncommons from INN that are going to see play and would have made much better promos:
Commons:
Forbidden Alchemy
Think Twice
Victim of Night
Ancient Grudge
Brimstone Volley
Mulch
Uncommons:
Invisible Stalker
Memory's Journey
Runic Repetition
Unburial Rites
Boneyard Wurm
Bramblecrush
Make a Wish
Ghost Quarter
Guarantee you that we don't see any of these as promos, or we don't see them as promos until August 2013 right as they rotate.
While I agree with you that the promos are jank, most of the other cards you listed are equally bad. Here's my list:
Commons:
Forbidden Alchemy
Think Twice
Ancient Grudge
Brimstone Volley
Feeling of Dread
Dead Weight
Avacyn's Pilgrim
Geistflame
Traitorous Blood
Travel Preparations
Traveler's Amulet
Uncommons:
Invisible Stalker
Unburial Rites
Bramblecrush
Ghost Quarter
Fiend Hunter(This seems like a no brainer)
Midnight Haunting
Dissipate
Hamlet Captain
Burning Vengeance
Reckless Waif
mind control, kor duelist, vampire nighthawk, kor firewalker, skinrender, master's call, and shrine of burning rage have all been good (imo) and gateway promo's since path
LOL at Mind Control, Kor Duelist, and Master's Call. Because those saw Top 8 Lists.

LOL, when was the last "Tier 1" FNM card that was in Standard?
Gateway promos are giving to advanced level stores as free giveaways.
Ooops, my bad, I had both tabs open, this one and the one with the game day promos. Thought I was in the other thread.
At the store I work events, sometimes I throw a couple in as random draws for players in FNM that don't hit prize level. I use some for my league, and the rest for random giveaways at events.

CAAAAAAAAAARES.
The art on these is BARELY different from the originals. Way to go, Curse of the Bloody Tome, on showing us a closer up version of the bloody tome.
Good lord.

The other promos for INN are really nice though.

He wasn't saying that. He's saying that this isn't a rumor.
in that case I agree, it's a weird name for a forum.
11-3-1 @ GP Copenhagen: Top Stories of Grand Prix Copenhagen
They should probably do a promo of at least 1 rare and some heavily played uncommon/commons like Forbidden Alchemy
Store Employee and Psuedo TO
Be happy you got any Boneyard Wurms. Only advanced stores get them at all.
LISTEN TO MAH SONGZ!
@BillyTheFridge
Go play in Game Day on the 29th (I believe) at your local store. Call them for details.
Gateway promos are giving to advanced level stores as free giveaways.
besides, neonate is not a bad card in INN block format. its one of those format's best red 2 drop.
