Has anyone seen http://www.hereirule.com/? I can't really tell what it is, but it looks like it could be related to Clash of Planeswalkers which they said was supposed to help bring in new players...
Then came the big info for the night – WotC’s newest marketing initiative. The newest brain child of Wizards is “Here I Rule”. This advertising bonanza will kick off next month so hold on as Wizards, yet again, tries to make Magic appealing to the skateboarding Gen Y (or is it X or Z or Q – I lose track) segment of the population.
it just seems to direct link to the website that is wizards.com/magicthegathering

"Dark Ritual, Hypnotic Specter, Hymn to Tourach. If there is an unholy trio in Magic, this is it. These three cards have been wreaking havoc and crushing dreams for over a decade. They're like the New York Yankees, except powered by black magic. Oh, wait... never mind." Chris Millar House of Cards
I saw that site before but the free deck thing is new. It'll prolly be those crappy "decks" with the pic of a planeswalker on it. *shrug* Free cards are free cards.
They paid for an ad on GameFAQs. I don't know any scammers who would have enough money/want to spend the dough to do that just to collect email and mailing addresses...
I signed up for it just to get free cards. It isn't anything special I am sure. The Official Terms state:
What Do I Get? Every Eligible Customer will receive a Magic: The Gathering card deck (Approximate Retail Value: $5 USD) (“Gift”). The cards are meant to enable game play. Sponsor reserves the right to substitute a Gift of equal or greater value, in the event that it is unable to award any of the Gifts advertised herein. OFFER SUBJECT TO AVAILABILITY OF GIFT AND WHILE SUPPLIES LAST. LIMITED TO ONE GIFT PER ELIGIBLE CUSTOMER.
So it probably a 40 card deck with one or two junk rares and the rest just basic stuff to learn the game and play.
Great find! Do you think you get the same cards if you checked that you heard of MTG before? I lied and checked that I've never heard of it before just in case it was a requirement to get new cards.
i bought one of those $5 decks from my local Target... and it contined a 10E booster, And a Fifth Dawn deck... so i doubt it'll be worth anything special probably just what i got, which was a deck and a booster... I'll sign up just for the hell of it.

Hey, free cards, a 10th Ed boosters means a chance to get a painland and stuff like Deathmark, pretty good for free stuff. Too bad it's US/Canada only D:

Here I Rule - sounds lame.

http://www.hereirule.com/
Probably nothing worthwhile. Just started today (11/10/08), and ends 12/31/08...I put my name in just for fun.

I doubt theyll get anyone new with this, only old players who want free cards. Lol
Considering that it redirects to wizards.com, I'm going to go out on a limb and say yes.

Oh well, free cards are cool.
Who knows? Maybe it'll be some sort of cool promo or something? Here's hoping! *raises glass*
