How do you get the buy-a-box promo? Do you pre-order a box, or buy it on release-day, or what?

actually it depends.

my local retailer gives them to us as we buy boxes in person, dont have to preorder, up until the supply runs out.

alot of times they keep them and then give them out at the pre-sealed tournies, cuz theres been plenty of times when ive bought a box in person (usually a week or 2 after it comes out) i didnt get a promo. its good if you become friends with the owners and staff cuz sometimes theyll throw you 2 instead of one. ive seen it..

Sometimes, the owner likes me. Other time, he hates me.

One time, at a pre-release, here's a conversation that occured:

"I want to buy an intro-deck (he gave out an extra promo to whoever bought one), but only have $11.67(or whatever it was)."

"Fine, by no promo card"

"But, that was the reason I wanted it. . ."

In the end, he decided to be nice. I think he just wanted me to stop annoying him. Now, though, I recently sold the Emrakul (promo) for $13. I am going to sell another for $15 soon. It was worth it.
