What happened to the old version of this thread? I remember I used to always post my rare pulls on this site, but it doesn't seem to be around anywhere. Hmph, here's a new one to replace the old one, where ever it may be. I've bought 2 Future Sight boosters and 4 Time Spiral recently. So here be the pulls! Pyromancer's Swath River of Tears Pulmonic Sliver Curse of the Cabal (black card) Fortuen Theif Pardic DragonNot a crap rare in sight...except for the Sliver maybe. I'm sure it would trade high though. =P If I start playing again soon, and if I get a job soon, i'll probably start buying them by the box, once every few months when the sets are released. So I doubt I'll take the time to link each one. Still, POST! We needz the post!

Went into the shop today to find that no one showed up. BLAST! To make myself feel better, I bought 3 Tenth Edition boosters. They didn't make me feel better, my rares were crap...mostly. Battlefield Forge Sleeper Agent Loyal SentryI would be happy with Battlefield Forge...If I didn't play casual games with 8+ people usually. Which turns it to crap. Sleeper Agent MIGHT be useful in said big games, just because 2 life per turn is alot when the person has 8 people to deal with, that thing could actually become deadly. Loyal Sentry is nice, but a simple Tangle Asp works fine in multiplayer, so this in the rare slot is a little dissapointing.

C'mon mods. Merge me...and post while you're at it! =P Story time! So I went into the shop today expecting to play some games, and guess what I found behind that shiny glass case. ONSLAUGHT BOOSTERS! Cool, I heart this set. One problem, I've bought so much of it that buying boosters is a little pointless. Better to buy singles of the rares I need. Still, I can't resist, I'll take one...just 1, just to see what rare I pull... Grinning DemonI opened it right at the cash register, my friend behind the counter. He can't believe I pulled that after he's opened so many from the box and got mostly crap. So, I decide, whats one more going to hurt? Gimme another.... Visara the Dreadful!! The multiplayer free-for-all bomb of all bombs!! What the hell, I'm on a roll. Gimme 2 Scourge boosters. Parallel Thoughts[/b][/url] Grip of Chaos[/b][/url] Ok, someone loves me. And I love the Onslaught block. I'm done though, I'm broke. I say I'm going to take my change out to my car (because I bought these at 3 different times so I have a pocket of change) and a friend of mine says to use the change on a boosters. Ha, yea right. I get to my car, look through my change holder thing for quarters, and how much do I have? $3.50!! How much is a booster after tax? $3.41. Ok, 1 more with quarters. Ravenous Baloth!!! A long story for a mere 5 boosters, but it was seriously the greatest night ever when it comes to bomb rares for casual play. And coming from me, the King of Crap Rares.

A couple of weeks ago, I got 3 Russian Future Sight boosters. One of them had more than $20 worth of cards because it had the green/red dual and a foil of that angel with flash that prevents 5 damage when you play it!

Bought 2 Tenth Edition booster tonight. I'm seriously almost broke. $30 for gas to carry me to my magic playgroup and whatnot for a little while and i'm spent. Time to get a job at Wal-Mart. -.- Anyways, my pulls: Flowstone SlideHurricane Also went to In the Ballpark (those bastards that cancelled Magic Game Day) and bought a booster...that is to say, I bought a bunch of singles, which somehow manage to add up to 1 rare, 3 uncommons, and 10-15 commons. And it costed me $3, so that totally counts as a booster. I 'pulled' a Mindleech Mass

So, in my 3-4 week absence Lorwyn was released. No boosters the week it was released. The week after however, they had a couple boxes, so I bought 7 boosters, which was every last dollar I had. Pulled... Mirror EntityBrigid, Hero of KinsbaileColfenor's UrnChandra NalaarEyes of the WisentOona's ProwlerProfane CommandSo I have 0 dollars...in my wallet. However, since my friend works behind the counter, I thought i'd piss him off by bringing a ton of quarters in. 25 dollars worth. No, i'm not joking, I bought another 7 boosters with that. 3 Lowryn and 4 Time Spiral Primal CommandAshling the PilgrimSygg, River GuideSarpadian Empires, Vol. VIIVesuvaAnother Pardic DragonWord of SeizingOk, now I'm really really broke. No money in the wallet or the change jar thing. But wait, I finally got my hand on some of the money I was owed from my mom. I need to hold some of it back, but I couldn't help buy a tournament pack. I get... SurgespannerA 2nd Eyes of the WisentCloudthresher

Bought a Lorwyn starter pack, got... Austere CommandGalepowder Mage(some other rare) and a foil Eyes of the Wisent3rd Eyes of the Wisent already... The reason I don't remember the 3rd rare is because my friend needed it. He needed like 5 more rares to have the complete set (which he got entirely from booster boxes.) So I traded the rare for 3 more boosters (which he bought with his employees discount ) Got these Sygg, River Guide (2nd one) DeathrenderVigorWant to know whats funny? Vigor was one of the other cards he needed! I could've traded it for the last 2 boosters be decided not to. Which was a mistake, because he was so upset that I kept getting the rares he wanted that he bought the last 2 boosters, which held one of the rares he needed. Bastard. =P

Ok, I have to be done with Lorwyn now. I've bought way too much of the stuff. More from it than any set I've ever bought from I think. Bought 4 booster tonight, got... 2nd Deathrender2nd Twinning GlassGuilt-Leaf PalaceThoughtseize I wish I could sell the Thoughtseize. I won't have much use with 1 copy, especially not in big multiplayer games, so meh. There is no place to sell cards around here though. Oh, and I got a foil glarewielder. Haha... foil... glarewielder. Perfect. ;D

I discovered a glorious thing earlier today... Fat packs now come with 8 boosters!!!!!! This is amazing. Thats about 28 dollars worth of cards by itself. Then add in the book (what, $10?) the card box, the dice, the 40-card land pack, all for $35? Hell yea, I went and bought one today. I havn't actually opened the boosters yet, I just got home. So, here's what I got, as I'm opening them. Spiteful VisionsGreater Auramancy + foil Blowfly Infestation (Flies with shiny wings!) Dusk UrchinsPolluted Bonds + foil Island Elemental MasteryWilt-Leaf LeigeWoodfall Primus + foil Forest Glen Elendra LeigeThat was pretty cool. 3 foils out of 8 boosters. Plus, out of the 8, 4 of them had tokens. I got a Kithkin Soldier, Faerie Rogue, Spider, and Elf Warrior. Plus, I got the Wilt-Leaf Liege!! Hurray Shadowmoor!

They're teasing us though. With Shards of Alara they are taking the book out, thus making them overpriced pieces of crap again. Atleast the Shadowmoor and Eventide ones are worth buying though.

Shadowmoor and Eventide aren't that great for constructed therefore i dont deem them worthy of buying. I just draft with them which is good enough for me.

You really think that? Hybrid mana creates some of the most versatile cards every created in magic history, and often times they are more powerful than their mono-color counterpart. I admit when a card has 3-5 hybrid symbols and nothing else it makes it somewhat more narrow, but other than that I think the cards are MUCH more useful given the number of decks each card can fit in.
