I'm thankful that my stalker rare was [unfortunately not anymore, it seems] was Korlash.
I hadn't bought any TSP or PC, and figured I'd stop by the local card shop to buy a pack or two of FS after each day of work one week.
From a total of 7 packs I got 3 Korlashes. Yay for money rares.
Back in the day of Onslaught, when I started playing, my buddy did something similar.....kept getting Jareth. He decided to collect them from that point on. I don't remember how many he got from packs when Jareth was stalking him....I think it was about 8 in 25-30 packs. Hard to remember details from 5 years ago! God I'm old.

Waiting patiently for MTGO Leagues to become a priority again. It's been 4 years :sick:.
Drop by my Helpdesk if you have any questions/concerns on the Limited forum.
Excited for M13 Limited? What do you think the format will look like? Head over to the limited forum and let us know what you think.
I don't know if nom is town or scum. But I'd like to point out this type of behavior is his standard modus operandi.
Court Mafia: Day 1, hatch plan to KILL EVERYONE ELSE IN A SINGLE NIGHT, when the plan only allows him to hit 11 random players, ATTEMPTS TO FIRE ANYHOW (Roleblocked).
In other words....Nom is an impulsive player who doesn't think about planning long-term or listening to others. I wouldn't be surprised if he was town. At all.
You know, I see people talk about three-ofs...now, if they only get so many packs, say, a box, that's fine. but when i was finished with Ravnica, I had double digit Kos and Wurm. Now that is epic. I gave some away each time I went to the shop, and still ahd at least a full page of each.
The next time you happen to be in Estonia, drop by and I´ll give you a bunch of those Thorns for free
If I ever travel outside of the states, I'll make sure to stop in Estonia.
Still, someone else has made conspiracy theories here that say that the crap rares show up with greater frequency. This is certainly not confirmed by Nineteen-Sixty-Four, with his Tarmogoyf results.
Just to note though, I've pulled 2 Tarmogoyf over the course of I think 24 packs, so I feel pretty lucky They don't stalk me, but it's good enough. I'm still glad I held onto them, I almost sold them both for $20 each, and now I probably could get $30 for them.
Nemesis - Stronghold Gambit . I pulled about 6 of those, and a playset of pack hunt from about 16 boosters. (I remember getting a booster from a corner store here, got double gambit, 1 foil, 1 regular. It bothered me)
Mirrodin - Broodstar. Im sure i cracked double digits. Suffice to say, from just cold pulls, i had a playset of foil broodstars. (maybe 40 boosters)
Darksteel - Ravager / Skullclamp. I only bought bout 12 boosters of DS, but got 2 ravagers and 5 clamps.
Kamigawa - Kiki-jiki / the Rarelands. Basically every booster i opened was one of the legendary lands, or a kiki. Which was fine, i still love that little bugger.
Betrayers - I hated this set, and didnt touch it much, but in the 3 drafts i did of it, i ended up with 2 Jitte's and a sway the stars.
SoK - None. Thank God. What a horrible set.
GP - Bought 3 boosters, ended up with 3 Leyline's of the Void.
DIS - Cytoplast rootkin. got 3 from a box. (no foils, 1 dual land -_-)
PC - TIMBERMARE. i opened my playset, as well as a foil one, from about 20 boosters on mtgo.

[19:59] greymon90210: Hey StormBlind how tall are you? "I'm six money *****, don't forget it"
"The Critics always said that we'd only have a black president when pigs flu"...

-- David Falk, Seattle Soccer Examiner, March 2009
In Mirrodin I got 4 arc slogger really quickly. I was always happy to see the guy because he invariably showed up in draft and sealed where he was a bomb.
When fifth dawn came up I also got lucky with vedalken shackles. However I also got an easy playset of barren glory in FS
From drafting Lorwyn for the past few weeks, I've opened 3 Garruk Wildspeaker and 3 Oona's Prowler. And I've opened less than a booster box of Lorwyn so far.
In 6th Edition, my stalker rare was Dancing Scimitar. I had enough of them to cover an entire shoebox-sized card box.
Other than that, I can't really remember my stalker rares except for the ones in Lorwyn. So far I've gone through about eight Garruk Wildspeakers (one foil) and six Gilt-Leaf Palaces. I've also gone through three Thoughtseize (I've been selling/trading them as soon as I've gotten them) and three Jace Beleren. Those are the good ones. The stalker rare that makes me cringe is Deathrender. The product I won at States included three of them, one foil. I now have 10.
EDH/Commander is a social format, right? So why don't people use their social skills to discuss what they like and don't like, instead of adopting a list with 60+ banned cards?
I need to make a correction for Lorwyn...I now have six Profane Commands. Not bad, though. Also, yesterday, in a sealed event and a box, I got 3 Wort and three Profane Commands. Makes me a happy person.
Time Spiral - nothing really
Planar Chaos - Porphyry Nodes and Dichotomancy.
Future Sight - Tarmogoyf at first (3 of them), then once I realized it was good, they stopped coming At least the ones I got after trading off them were replaced for $3 a piece before Regionals.

The only good thing about this post is the edible chocolate roaches they gave out! Mmm mmm!
*crawl crawl*
Wait a minute, edible roaches don't crawl! EDIBLE ROACHES DON'T CRAWL!
Stupid Alabaster Leech, I think I only opened a tolal of Invasion 10 booster and got 3 of them plus a foil one. It was the worst of the leechs, which is saying something becuase none of the leechs were very good cards, much less good rares.
I'm positive this phenomenon is intentional. (Well, maybe not the specific cards, but in general.) I've opened enough boosters to know that there are many patterns in print run, but the only consistent one is that good commons and uncommons are significantly rarer even than bad rares.
/conspiracy theory
Well, I ordered a case of Lorwyn when it came out, and I charted my rares as I opened them. When I was done (6 boxes, mind you), I had no more than 4 of any rare, and at least one of each. 4 thoughtseize, 4 doran, 3 teeg, 4 garruk (inc one foil), 3 jace, 3 prowler (one foil)... I was very content. The uncommon distribution was quite even as well, with about 7-11 each.
For whoever it was that was charting tokens, I ended up with:
Elf 28 Wolf 14 Beast 12 Kithkin 20 Merfolk 18 Goblin 17 Elemental 18 Shapeshifter 12 W Elemental 6 G Elemental 7 Avatar 1
If anyone would like me to post my data, send me a pm ;p
My stalker rare for Lorwyn is Wydwen the Biting Gale. At the prerelease, every sealed deck I cracked on Saturday I opened one. (so 2) On Sunday, I only participated in one, and opened Wydwen, but we were passing, so I thought it would turn out okay, but the one i received had another in it. So annoying. On a decidely happier note, 2 Jace Belren out of 8 packs

I kept pulling Magus of the Moon in Future Sight, like 8 at least. On the upside, I had an insane week where I pulled 3 Tarmogoyf and a Korlash out of 7 packs. Three packs from my local shop, three packs from my hometown Wal-Mart, and a pack from Wal-Mart in the town 6 miles from here--the other rares were Graven Cairens, Grove of Burnwillows, and Coalition Relic. I thought I was on a roll, but the next several times I bought Future Sight packs, I got like Darksteel Garrison, Nihilith, Shaah of Naah Isle, and Whetwheel--poop.
