I got a foil sorin, loi havengul lich and ravenous demon in the same pack from walmart. I've also pulled thrun the last troll, sun and primeval titan, olivia voldaren, phantasmal image and many more from walmart. I even bought the tiny packs, sometime a rare in them, sometimes not. Like buying packs of any kind from anywhere its luck of the draw
I didn't know where to put this and I didn't want to make a thread, but you know those 3-pack boosters with the Knight Exemplar promos that Wal-Mart had? I just saw them at a Target in Manassas, VA for $10. Like the Wal-Mart ones, they all had a promo Knight Exemplar facing forward. Just want to give a heads up.

Plenty of threads on this already...those have been around for a while now.
The new Promo hitting the shelves is Sunblast Angel (looks like more have finally reached ebay).
I've only been buying from Walmart for a month or so now, but I've not noticed anything bad about the booster packs. I've come away with an Admonition Angel and Comet Storm (two of these, but one was in a booster in a fat pack) on the Mythic Rare end of things. I sprung for an economy pack once (1 booster + 35 other random cards for 6$ - probably nothing special, but i got a foil djinn of wishes this way) but haven't seen them back in stock since WW hit.
What I have been curious about is the little 6 or 7 card, 1.50$ packs they sell. Are they worth picking up? Because I could reason with myself to buy cards more often if I was just picking those up once or twice a week.
They are not worth it, I believe they are 1-2 Uncommon and the rest Common. You'd do better to buy repacks from e-bay or your lgs
so i was wondering what everyones exp with those individually packed booster form walmart and target were, i have a buddy who said he went and bought every single booster pack a walmart had when zendikar came out, which he said was around 65 boosters. he said alot of the packs he opened were almost identical and that it was mostly crap rares. and he was also say that you had no chance of getting a pricless tresure frome these. i was just wondering if anyone had any actuall info on this, and what others though about these packs, ie if they are less likely to have chase rares/good stuff in them than your normal out the box boosters.
My friend got a foil Jace, the memory adept from a Walmart pack

Nobody is perfect. Well, I'm a nobody. So theoretically, I' m perfect? Cool.
I'v pulled a Foil Jace adapt 2013 from a walmart booster box from a wal-mart, but that's about it, a few cards here and there ranging from $1-4 that I use in my EDH deck now.
Don't people buy packs. Make careful slits on the top. Slide the rare out and reseal with your and return. I mean I've heard a lot of horror stories about people doing this because of generous return policies.
I got some M14 when they were just stocking the shelves with them and I got some good stuff. Usually I get junk, but sometimes there is some good stuff that comes out.
Sometimes I begin to think they are box-mapped (when you get those 3-packs since it contains older sets), but would the distributor care to go through all that?

I am looking for Date Stamped promos from Khans of Tarkir block so I can finish my set. Check my wants if you have any.
Currently offering 2 non-foil Kolighan's Command for a Date Stamped foil!
Okay guys all this talk made me go out to Walmart and buy two packs. Just had too. This is what happened and I am upset.
First pack normal nothing out of the ordinary. $3 rare can't complain too much.
Second pack. No rare no foil one card short. Nothing. I've never bought from them before. I bought a starter deck from target when I was going with nemesis but this is the first booster. What do I do? Did I just waste $7.99 or can I return or exchange one of the packs?
This is what I was afraid of when previously postig and it happened!!! I couldn't tell if it was rescaled or anything by do you think someone could have taken the rare or did wizards make a mistake.
It's a toss up as far as I'm concerned. Once my friend and I went there and he picked 3 new phyrexia packs in a row off the shelf and i got three scars of mirrodin. To make a long story short each time he opened a chancellor of the spires I laughed a little harder. The odds of three packs in a row containing the same junk rare I told him was almost impossible...I was wrong. Then the same guy bought a pack of Innistrad to repay one of my other friends for a favor and the friend he bought the pack for cracked a Liliana of the veil. And for my birthday I got a pack of Avacyn restored; Cracked a Restoration Angel. So I dont know. Walmart has some of weird magic working inside it.
Last Winter, my girlfriend and I were on a random mini-roadtrip and stopped in a few places, just kinda looking around...Walmart, Target, Shopko, and K-Mart...I randomly picked up a few booster packs in each place just outta boredom, as did she...so we aren't exactly sure which packs came from what places, but she had a total of 9 worldwake packs when it was all said and done...
Those 9 worldwake packs contained a foil Jace and a non-foil...
I had 6 worldwake packs...
Literally alternated rares between them, Dragonmaster Outcast and Stoneforge Mystic....nothing quite like her luck, and I remember thinking at the time "Man I got hosed"
In retrospect...Probably some of the best single packs I've ever seen.

I believe Dragonmaster Outcast is currently a $6 card. Those were some nice packs, but it still doesn't prove anything other than randomness. For your nice packs, there were 25 people who pulled maybe one or two $5 rares at best.
It's just like the lottery or gambling. I used to live with a roommate whose friend had won 2 cars at the same casino in the matter of a few years. What scared me is that she probably spent more than $200,000 at that casino during that time.

I got 2 boosters from Target and got just one rare and one mythic from the two packs. The rare was Crypt Ghast and the mythic was Isperia, Supreme Judge. I was a bit disappointed.

Bought a random blister from Borders a couple years back. There was virtually no Magic left, except for a single pack tucked to the back on the bottom of a shelf. It was a WWK pack. I knew the potential it had in it, and me and my GF argued over using the last couple of bucks we had before payday on MTG. We bought it, I cracked it... It had a rather nice Amulet of Vigor as the rare.
How that we've had time to provide some stories; and, since there's no factual basis in the suggestion that Wal-Mart or any other big box retailers have worse packs than anywhere else, I'm going to go ahead and close this down.

You have around 50% chance for one of the uncommons to be rare or mythic.

Necroing threads is fine if the topic is open-ended and could still be considered relevant at the time of it's resurrection.

After cleaning myself up we debated on keeping or selling, but we really needed the money sooo...
Now I see how much he is these days and cringe a little.
