(Yes, I know WOTC will never do this. Let me dream.)
If you're talking about FNM promos specifically, then yes there have been. They used to regularly print FNM promos for extended/legacy such as Brainstorm, Counterspell, Krosan Grip etc. It certainly got some of the more experienced players excited about the FNM promos.

It was even better when the FNM promos were foils of cards that had never been foiled, like Swords to Plowshares, Jackal Pup, Impulse, Wall of Blossoms etc.

Force of Will is technically possible, but I would expect it to be a judge promo before anything else. It's a bit weird that it hasn't had a promo yet, imo. Consider Sinkhole, a pricy common, considering it had only been printed in ABU, was printed as a judge promo over an fnm promo, likely because of it's price.

Tectonic Edge and Teetering Peaks were also out of standard by the time they were released.

Didn't really count them, as they were still comparatively very new, and hardly eternal staples on the level of some of the past fnm promos that I mentioned.

Kinda related but not quite...

L5R released its "Holiday set" that includes every store-kit and most tournament promos released in the last year (along with 10 packs and a couple exclusive art promos). I wish Wizards would do something like this, but I'm sure the FNM winners would complain.

Then again there's a big difference in that those promos are unique cards, not just alt art...
