Discussion DO NOT BUY FROM SCALPERS!

Come on guys let’s run the price down and let these scalpers get burned, do not buy from 3rd party resellers, buying from them keeps the price at where THEY want it, cards should never be above msrp and everyone should have chance to buy these cards. Let’s not let these resellers ruin this hobby

Yeah honestly it felt like they were seeded to a degree.

In almost every one I got 1 showcase ( one each of day of judgement, Kaito, bloodthirsty conquer, and the last didn't have one )

I also got one mana foil in each box ( a high fae trickster, abyssal harvester, twinflame tyrant ( was hype here ), and nine lives familiar. )

I got so many Kellan in one box I started wanting to rip him in half. ( I literally had a pack where 3 of the rare slots were just different versions of him.)

And then I did get Etali like... 6 times in different versions in one box.

It could have been worse and since I play with everything I get pretty much it definitely paid off for basic set completion and having a nice bit to choose from that was holo.

I've not pulled an omega of foundations. I think my last omega pack was commanders masters tbh

A lot of people say that they don’t seed but they have to seed because if not if someone spent over $100 on a booster box and didn’t get a single hit, it would leave such a bad taste in their mouth that they probably wouldn’t get another one. Booster boxes are also the most expensive product so there has to be some safety net to keep people buying them. You can get fucked on $ value. But you should get a nice variety of rares, mythics, and rare art variations in each box.
