I see you guys got very lucky and I'm pleased MM15 worked for someone. I drafted for 3 days straight (from friday to sunday) and in my 9 packs + other 4 packs of prize I didn't get that much. The only cards worth more than 5$ have been Spellskite and a foil Remand. I mean, 13 boosters is more than half a box and I've been wondering if is it just me or if somebody else had that experience of bad booster opening.

It is impossible to have a box with no mythics. You can message wizards and they will confirm this. If you get one that means it's a misprint...
Technically, given the streak of misprinting seen so far, meaning it is possible theoretically to get a no-Mythic box, just unlikely.
Actually if it is legitimate you can take every card you got and the box send it back and they can check the serial numbers along with the packs to confirm if you are telling the truth and then send you a new box.
But you're right wizards has been stupid. The guy next to me had Mis prints and I was shorted one common and one uncommon in my 6 packs at prerelease.
To the above poster. I had sealed event and opened a noble hierarch and a necroskitter $4 and a hurkyls recall $4 and a remand $5. Some people around me opened over $100 including one guy with two mythics and s foil Kiki jiki. Some people like me only got one money card.

I suppose that's the upside of buying a box, in that you're guaranteed to hit a few half decent cards. When drafting and getting only a few packs from a few different boxes you could strike out altogether given the odds.

Drafting in 6 months is smarter. If you sell a Goyf to your shop you will only get $80 for it. Does that pay for your box? A good change they will go back up before the next reprinting so I would wait.

It doesn't really matter when you get the cards, just when you sell them (though I would agree it's probably a better time to buy than sell singles right now).
If true, that seems like it's a "rare" Uncommon (something they have mentioned before).
I did several MM1 drafts using a single box,
and there were at least two Eternal Witness in each box
(one had four and I got all of them and won the draft)

In boxes for normal sets you can usually expect around 2 of each uncommon, or at least one, but with only having 24 boosters I could see why only getting one Remand, or any of uncommon for that matter, is possible as there are less chances to get it.
It can vary a bit, but you have to figure that there are 80 uncommons in the set (if I recall correctly), and you get 72 non-foil uncommons per box (24 packs x 3 uncommons per pack = 72), plus likely a few foils ones per box as well. So yeah, an average of approx. 1 per box is about right for Modern Masters 2015.
That's about right. I just ran through my uncommons from the box, and including foils, I only had 4 uncommons that had duplicates. Without foils, it was 1, Karplusan Strider.
Did a sealed event and first pack was a foil Mox Opal and Kiki Jiki. Rest of the money cards were cryptic command, noble heirarch, Bitterblossom. Not a bad sealed event. Ended up making a B/R Bloodthirst deck and got second place.
We drafted afterward and the guy in front of me pulled a Goyf, Primeval Titan, and Dark COnfidant... the pulls!!!!!
Some of these 'box opening' posts I'm a little doubtful of.
I suppose it could be observer bias, but how can every box have Goyf, Clique, Bob, foil Cryptic, etc etc etc?

A mirror, a shield, a promise, a great distance, and a kind word-- five ways to avoid harm.
Got 5 packs yesterday for my brother's birthday. To summarise, a splinter twin and remand. There were also a bunch of foil commons for my pauper affinity. It could have been worse though.
I've opened 5 packs of the set and won't open any more. I got a spellskite, bitter blossom and a wilt leaf liege. The guy who got packs after me got a foil goyf. He didn't know it was worth anything. Good thing I was standing there to fight off the sharks!

Why would you believe anyone who doesn't post pictures? They are either just trying to brag and get some praise for their dumb luck while everyone else doesn't want to waste the time talking about their two mythic box with a comet storm. No pictures not relevant. You want statistics just go to YouTube and watch all of them there.
Drafted affinity Saturday night and coasted to an easy 3-0. Only lost a game to another affinity deck. Got a Cryptic in my draft packs and a Hierarch in my prize packs. Got a Goyf in one of the two packs I bought before the draft, so I made out alright. Everyone got really frustrated about how good affinity is in limited though.
Bought four packs. "Highlights" include Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind, Wildfire, Surgical Extraction, and Blinkmoth Nexus... So yeah, they aren't all grand. And this is all I'm buying of MM2015. Which sucks because two years ago, our local shop would only sell four packs per person and I would have liked to have bought more. This year we have no limits. The store owner said he had quite a few people that said they wanted a box, but pulled out after the full spoiler hit.
I feel bad for all of the people who months ago bought their entries to the grand prix's. Bought their plane tickets, put up money for a hotel, food, for a lack luster experience. I think I'd be asking for about 10 more free Promo Griselbrand to make up for the fact that I have a really big chance of pulling total garbage.
A lot of us think the experience is more about playing Magic and less about counting up card values. Of course there's a chance I pull garbage, it happens in almost all of the sealed pools I get. That certainly hasn't stopped me from enjoying Limited Magic. In particular, this set has so far shown to be deep and challenging, with a lot of different ways to both draft decks and build sealed pools. I'm looking forward to the event, and will continue to do so despite how people think I 'should' feel about the set.

Overall am happy. Fun experience and I managed to get some good cards.

I pulled a Mox Opal, a Spellskite, and a Remand in my packs and drafted a white-green double-strike/equipment deck. Spellskite won me so many matches when they tried to kill or bounce my Skyhunter Skirmishers or Kor Duelists equipped with Flayer Husk.
In my 2 prize packs I pulled a Karn Liberated, a foil Lodestone Golem, and a Cryptic Command.
