Just curious how those of you who bought boxes did with the Buy-A-Box randomized pack? Mine was bonkers. Pulled a Scorpion God, Vraska Relic Seeker, Baral, Fumigate, and a couple rare foils. Really enjoyed opening the pack as apposed to the same old Buy-A-Box promo
I was actually annoyed by how little info there was about them. I heard a rumor a couple weeks ago and couldn't find any info on them. Someone bought me a box online as a gift and of course it came without the pack. One of the guys in my game group opened a foil torrential gearhulk and a few other decent pulls. Made me wish I had just got the money as a gift to buy the box in-person. I'm guessing it's a way for wizards to help shops fight back a bit against the flood of online dealers. Still, would have been nice to see it being pushed a bit more, I had no idea.
I opened a foil Regisaur Alpha and Unclaimed Territory, as well as a Mirage Mirror, Deeproot Champion, Spirebluff Canal, and a red damage spell from Amonkhet.
It was definitely better than past promos that amounted to nothing. I'll actually use these ones.
I found out too late about the pack promo and my LGS botched my order anyways so I didn't get. My LGS had no clue what was going on, release dates, promo? Nothing. Which was really weird. When I called the LGS to confirm the date from the WotC site, I couldn't get a straight answer.
Their policy was always allow preorders up until the weekend preceding the pre-release, but they kept insisting the final preorder date was Oct 1st.
I suspect the shop lost their WPN status for some reason. That is, in itself, strange. They're the biggest shop in a 50 mile radius. No one else holds a candle to their floor space.
Are these promo cards marked differently with a different set symbol?
No SL. They literally grabbed random mythics/rares/foils from a bin and put them in packs of 9. You could get no mythics or all. The only for sure card was a foil alt-art Burning-suns Avatar. All cards have their original set symbols with the exception of the two guaranteed foil lands
