I just bought nine Betrayers of Kamigawa packs. I won't list the cards at the moment, but I did get all of the uncommon Genjus but the white one, and the green shoal. The only ninjas I got were two Ninja of Deep Hours.
First impressions:
Fumika is awesome!
Goblin cohorts are quite good.
Glasskites are pretty good, but can get annoying when you want to put something like Blinding Powder on them, or Ninjutsu with them.
Well, I got my Fat Pack (with HERETIC:D) today and opened all the six boosters in it. At first I thought it to be another crap-fest, as usual, but at the end, I have this:
Uncommon: B,G flippers, U,W Genjus (:D), Shuko, 2x Soratami Mindsweeper, Scour, Quash, Sowing Salt, Body of Jukai, Loam Dweller, F-B Garami, Walker of the Secret Ways, God's Eye...
Generally I was lucky with ninjas, two Deep Hours (one foil...nice :D) and at least one of each, except the rares, of course: Okiba-Gang Shinobi 2x, Skullsnatcher, Throat Slitter, Mistblade Shinobi...Well, it seems that my RW samurai deck will soon get a brother...UB ninjas
So the first impressions are generally good. Scarcely I have a luck as this, and although I have mixed feelings about the set, this day made me happy.

I haven't bought any packs myself yet (since I think the set is a let down), but all I do know is that Blazing Shoal, Orb of Dreams and that black Horobi's Whisper are going to be interesting. The Orb is going straight into my stasis deck now. It says "**** you" wth the finger hoisted right up into the air on a gold pedistal

I've already purchased/won about 2 1/2 boxes. I think Toshiro, Kira and Sickening Shoal are some of my favorites from the set.

I bought a box (yay for me:)) and i couldnt believe it. i got 3 red shoals including a foil one. i got higure, 3 other shoals, and other goodies. i realize that Enshrined Memories is an awesome card. this is looking to be a great set. definitly puts the tempo to an aggro sort of way.

Before I get to my point, ket me say that I just got a Betrayers of Kamigawa Fat Pack. I guess I got good cards. My rares were:
Nourishing Shoal
Kentaro, the Smiling Cat
Hero's Demise (holo) :dance2:
Orb of Dreams
Patron of the Akki
Fumiko, the Lowblood
The thing I am getting at here is the randomness of the packs. For instance, I got four Bile Urchin, but not one Child of Thorns or Frostling. Out of my 18 uncommons, I got doubles of 12 of them. That just dosn't seem right. I guess you all will be calling me a n00b for this, but it is true, the packs should be more random.

Lucky! Man, would I kill for four of those babies! (the red shoals).:laugh:
Anyways, I pretty happy with what I've cracked open so far from winnings and such. I also realized that I probably shouldn't buy a box of this set, though I will be drafting this a lot. Great set overall.
Oh! I forgot to mention what I got at the prerelease! (11 packs total, I might not remember it all)
Patron of the Orochi
Heartless Hidetsugu *2
Toshiro Umezawa and his Jitte
Orb of Dreams (Shiny)
Hokori, Dust Drinker
Goryo's Vengeance
Blazing Shoal
And two others I forget.
cracked open a box last night and got 2x final judgement, 2x umezawa's jitte, foil shining shoal, blazing shoal, sickening shoal, nifty foil cohort and foil genju of the fens.

Hats off to [BB18 & IBTG], you've found something that may be THE deck to beat post rotation.
So far, I think I've opened just under a box and a half of BOK, and I think it's a very balanced set. It has a few bombs, but not that many for a set of this size; there's an inherit quality to a lot of the cards, and the crap of the set isn't that bad.
I would have enjoyed getting more than my 9 Prerelease Ink-Eyes, though, as I couldn't match my 18 Prerelease Ryuseis. I also got 2 Final Judgment, 2 Jitte, Tendo, and just a lot of generic variety.
I got two Toshiro Umezawa, 4 Heartless Hidetsuga (1 foil), 2 Iwamori (1 foil), 1 of each of the shoal at least (4 black, 2 red, 1 white green and blue), 5 Ink-Eyes Servant of Oni (I collect them:biggrin3:), Two Higure, 1 Isao (green samurai dude), 2 Hokori Dust Drinker, 2 Shirei Shizo's Caretaker, 2 Umezawa's Jitte, Yomiji, Fumiko, Opal Eye, Kira Great Glass Spinner, Sway of the Stars, Kodama of The Center Tree, Enshrined Memories, Hero's Demise, Kyoki, Yukora, 4 out of the 5 Patrons (no soratami one), Slumbering Tora, Goryo's Vengence, Shizuko, Neko-Te, Ornate Kanzashi, That Which Was Taken, Mirror Gallery, Genju of The Realm and finnally a Tendo Ice Bridge.
So far, I got a Yomiji, Fumiko, Slumbering Tora, Heros Demise, Shining Shoal, Yokura, Oyobi, Hokori, a Threads and some other rares that I cant recall.
The Genjus are nice. Tendo Ice Bridge is cool. Some of the Shoals are great! I am completing a playset of Shining Shoals for my WW deck. Umezawas Jitte can be killer with Energy Chamber, Coretapper or some other cards. Ninjitsu is cool, but there are ways to handle it. The set is okay, a few good cards, but nothing absolutely amazing.
First impressions:

What were your first impressions?
Rare: Blazing Shoal:smileup: , Ornate Kanzashi, Tomorrow, Chisei, Yukora and Twist Allegiance
Uncommon: B,G flippers, U,W Genjus (:D), Shuko, 2x Soratami Mindsweeper, Scour, Quash, Sowing Salt, Body of Jukai, Loam Dweller, F-B Garami, Walker of the Secret Ways, God's Eye...
