Noose Constrictor isn't one of the most exciting cards to become a Friday Night Magic promotional card. But it is a useful uncommon creature from Eldritch Moon. By making it a promo, Wizards obviously felt that this would be an important part of the Standard metagame. Indeed, the Snake has seen some play, but not nearly to the degree that Wizards Development thought. It's mostly been relegated to the sideboard as a Madness enabler, and isn't seeing the widespread play in Black/Green Delirium decks that it was designed for.
As a promo, though, it's not a bad choice, as it is a creature that fits into multiple strategies, including the aforementioned Delirium and Madness decks. Delirium, in particular, is quite a strong strategy.
While it's not a card people are excited to play for as a prize, it's likely to see more okay in the future. Also, the art is sort of extra cute for this card, especially considering that the original art is pretty cool, with the skull and all.
It's an interesting art direction choice, but a good one. In any case, this is an excellent card to have.
