I have been sent the following info from a Japanese judge:
I got DCI Argothian Enchantress Foil Promo at Japan Nationals.
I started with the open quarifire, during the 4 days, acted as the JUDGE and
got it from the Mr.Ron Foster.
It is to have got it on June 13,and Akio Sugaya -Head Judge- sayd "It is the
newest promotion card." to me.
Has somebody else heard about this?

I had thought these would have been given out at PT Kobe, but I had not heard anything about it. The only thing I have seen are the cards appearing (as leaks). Nothing official from what I have heard. I have asked many higher up judges if they ever got one and they said no, not yet. These guys did get their Balances though.

Judges at US Nationals last week received two of them.
I'll be posting mine on eBay tomorrow - have to pay for the new computer.

Ralph: I have come to determine that this card probably will not be given out formally. Various judges are getting them for random things. I just went on Saturday on a tip from an old college M:TG player I knew to a store that got 3 in. One of the co-owners is a local Level 2 judge and he has a total of 3. His partner was only there, so I could not get any history on them. I ended up picking one up, since they offered one to me at a fair price. Hey, also mark down I picked you up a spare Carrion Feeder and I have that on your pile. Let me know if you have an interest in an Enchantress for yourself, as the store has 2 more and the price is very fair.

mintcollector: Thank you for the offer and for setting aside the FNM card. I have obtained an Enchantress for myself in the meanwhile, though.

That's incorrect. The Enchantress has been given to judges at Grand Prix: Brussels, US Nationals / JSS Championship, and Grand Prix: Zurich. That's pretty standard now for new judge foils, though they're usually first released at a Pro Tour-level event (PT, US Nationals, Worlds) first.
There were some number of them leaked or stolen - they were not officially distributed before Brussels (I personally asked DCI Judge Manager Andy Heckt about this at US Nationals).
Cheers,
Ben

Ben: this is the exact info that has been lacking here that Ralph wanted. No one came forward to mention this to my knowledge. I know what you meant about expecting this to be released at the pro-tour level, which is why I theorized PT Kobe. Since it did not appear there, it release became somewhat of a mystery as all we saw would be leaks. I was unaware of their releases at the Grand Prix events and US Nationals. Since I do not strongly follow the professional play of M:TG closely, which one of these was chronologically first? Ralph will need this as this non-pro-tour event will become the offical release he will record here for it. I think a lot of us assumed the Enchantress appearances to still be leaks.

mintcollector: Well spoken, thanks.
bdrago: It is good news to hear that the card has finally been released. Do you know where the card first appeared, as mintcollector already asked?

I'm fairly certain the Argothian Enchantress was first "officially" distributed to judges at Grand Prix Brussels, Belgium - May 29-30, 2004. "Officially" is in quotes because some were obviously leaked, and possibly by internal sources (WotC or one of their resellers).
Other judge foils: Hammer of Bogardan (Pro Tour Osaka, Mar. 15-17, 2002), and Tradewind Rider (Pro Tour Houston, November 8-10, 2002).

bdrago: Thank you for the information. When I will have time to finally rework the Prize Tracking Project, this data will be included there.
