I got back into magic a long time after I lasted played. The last set I played was onslaught. I got back into magic playing a gatecrash pre-release that my friend paid for to convince me to get back into magic. I didn't know what planeswalkers were. I pulled a foil domri rade.
My first and only pack of Worldwake was from one of those Target bundle packs with 4 boosters and some bonus cards for like 11 bucks. I got a Jace, the Mind Sculptor.
My first planeswalker ever, like a week after I started playing. I sold it on ebay for like 60 bucks and bought more Magic cards. Now I wish I held onto it lol
I can't remember what my 1st planeswalker pull was. Any of the Lowryn 5? idk. =p
The one I do remember was Tamiyo though. It was just M13 came out. Right after Avacyn. Been a few times to a new LGS and they were hosting a draft that evening. Didn't want more Avacyn, but what the heck, right? Opened a Bonfire (when it was worth $35-40) and got 1st playing R/G stompy stomp stuff. But didn't see a Tamiyo through the whole thing. Putzing around afterwards, talking with the owner I was still half moe-ping that I still wanted Tamiyo. The owner had a few packs of Avacyn left and said he play Value pack with me. Short and sweet, we'd just see who opened more value when we opened out packs. I didn't want to buy the pack, but I told him I'd help open the last of his packs. He gave me one and we opened.
Now I don't know bout you guys, but I don't immediately reveal the rare/foil. I like shifting through the commons. Uncommon 1, 2, then I pause at the 3rd. I like to reveal the CMC cost of the rare so I can guess what it is (gets really goofy when there are multiple answers or I forgot what rares are in this set). I reveal my rare's CMC and it was 3UU. "GOSH DARNIT!" Reveal fricking Tamiyo! And I didn't buy the pack! Noooooes! Owner the bro-est of bros and since I won (he opened $1-2 jank) he let me buy it for $5. :happydance:
My first Planeswalker I pulled was a Chandra Ablaze. Needless to say, she was pretty awesome.
Recent pulls include Domri Rade and the new Sorin. I like the new Sorin and Domri but I hate that they are multicolored... it limits the number of EDH decks they can go into.
Just started playing again after having not played since 2003 or 2004. Went to Target last weekend and bought a couple of packs of 2014 and Theros. First pack of 2014 I open, I get a Garruk Wildspeaker
Think I might quit while I'm ahead with buying packs.
I pulled a teferi, hero of dominaria and foiled oath of teferi in the same pack at a dominaria prerelease, not even a month after i got back into the game
Best friends for life right here.
