After school this afternoon I popped by GameTraders and picked up four of the last remaining 2012 Core Set boosters that the store has. I think I am the one whose bought most of them...
Anyway, here's a list of the great things I pulled:
If you're in Australia, like me, the boosters cost ~$6. So 6 X 4 packs that you bought = $24 that you spent. The value of the cards you got is <$20. So I don't know if I'd call that paying off.
Nah I don't care about making my money back specifically-- I make enough money to not give a rats about that-- but they were all cards incredibly useful in a couple of my decks, and usually when I buy boosters (8 or 9 at a time...) I pull crap like goblins I have no use for or dual-mana that doesn't apply to anything I've built etc.
And yeah, Neongoyf, they were $7 a piece.
[b]Hang on[b] I paid $22. I got six bucks off-- my local store loves me <3 hahaha.

You should think about buying singles, man. Better and more relevant card quality.
And if you are dedicated to boosters, it is cheaper by the boxload.
Yeah I'm more into boosters, I like to not know what I'm getting because otherwise I'm bound to only build my collection full of what I'm currently using. This way I have a large catalogue of every colour so if I have any new combo ideas etc, I can have a real good look at cards I may have passed by while looking for my rares hahaha.
As for the booster boxes that is definately something I'll do with DKA if any are left when they first arrive. At the moment my store only has a booster box of New Phyrexia and that doesn't excite me much at all.

Yeah, that's the way to do it. Although I do spend more on singles, I'm always sure to pick up at least one box of each set, just to make sure I have a stock of uncommons/commons, and a few rares to use/trade. It's pretty boring otherwise.
Opened them in that order...I was really hoping I'd go 4/4 with mythics, but I'm cool with what I got!

Last FNM we get a booster after every win.
Round 1: Loss
Round 2: Win, Pulled Hero of Oxid Ridge + FOIL Contested War Zone
Round 3: Win, Pulled Life's Finale + FOIL Spellskite
Round 4: Win, Pulled Sword of Feast and Famine
Couple days later bought a pack at Wal-Mart of NPH cause I was feeling low
Pulled Jin-gitaxis and FOIL Praetor's Grasp
I'm new around here, but wanted to share what I thought was a good pull(Keep in mind I've just recently gotten back into magic after a 10+ year break).
I picked up a New Phyrexia Fat pack from a local Target and pulled:
Karn Liberated X2
Batterskull
Birthing Pod Foil
Other rares were pretty basic. Just thought I'd share.
Got a fat pack and 4 extra boosters of DKA(talk about a pack itch!) Grafdigger's Cage was the best rare out of it. Common and uncommon cards to note is 2 diregraf captain, 1 drogskol captain, 1 stromkirk captain, 1 undying evil, and a foil tragic slip. No more packs for me on this set!
Probably not, but I was hoping for a Havengul Lich, or a Mikaeus the Unhallowed for my EDH deck. I hate these pack itches I get. Tends to get me to spend too much chasing when I could just buy the darn thing. C'est la vie!
My friend bought a box today the first pack he opened had a Havengul Lich and a foil Strangleroot geist. A nice 20 dollar pack and he was only one it. We are going to draft with the rest of it when he gets home so I'll let you know if we have any cool pulls from there.
Cracked a case of DKA. Got a playset of Sorin, Lord of Innistrad, but the only Falkenrath Aristocrat I pulled was a foil one. I'll happily take that over 4 of the vampire, and 1 foil Sorin.
Overall, I was VERY pleased with all of my pulls except for the two Seance and Alpha Brawl plus the Archangel's Light... Ugh. BUT, Sorin and others made up for it.
I use the Duels Of The Planeswalkers layout, though I'm right-handed and keep my deck and GY to the left. I dare you to ask me how tempting it is to hold flying creatures in a floating pattern over the table.
