Guy across from me at the prerelease pulled a Huntmaster, then Vault, then frickin' SORIN from his three DKA packs. No lie. He was all distressed and whining about having to pick BW or RG. I wanted to slug him.
There are several cards that win the game on the spot. Moonveil Dragon, Beguiler of Wills, Vault of the Archangel, Havengul Lich, Sorin.
I opened Havengul Lich at the prereleease and didn't even use it.
It's not that good and definetely not as good as the other three Tribal Mythic Rares (Drogskol Reaver, Falkenrath Aristocrat and Huntmaster of the Fells)

If there is such a thing as too much power, I have not discovered it!
I saw 2 people with Drogskol Reaver in sealed. Both lost despite it having impact on the board. I say it saved them for a couple of turns before losing to more aggroy decks
In worldwake I know a guy who opened 6 ondu clerics. 1 was foil. I saw him opening the packs, he seriously got 6. He played 3 color allies, steamrolled everyone.
Now it just sounds like you are bragging about someone cheating. You can't open more than one copy of card in any given pack, unless the foil is another copy of it. It's literally impossible to do so.
Unless you meant Draft, then it's entirely possible.

Everyone knows that good luck and good game are such insincere terms that any man who does not connect his right hook with the offender's jaw on the very utterance of such a phrase is no man I would consider as such.
Tragic Slip. this card is worth 10x its weight in gold in limited.
Limited is such a blast now for ISD/DKA. Ive played R/G WW twice (kruin outlaw + instigator gang w/ 2 mist and full moons, and huntmaster + mayor w/ 5-6 combat tricks), and R/B control. The R/B deck ended up pretty nasty, as I was able to get 2 tragic slip and 3 geistflame. But U/W fliers seems really powerful, and Vampires can just be overwhelming with early drops and the +2/0 instant to vampires. There isnt really 1 or 2 archetypes that everyone tries to force like M12, which makes for better drafting IMO.
In triple ISD one week I saw a guy go 4-0 with a burning vengeance deck, so really anything is possible in this format.
Last week, we did a triple DKA, and I got 4 young wolf, 4 tragic slip, 2 increasing savagery. Needless to say I took that fnm. It was so crazy. And quiver/anyone with deathtouch is good game for most decks.
Though Vault is probably the most degenerate limited bomb I've ever seen. If they drop it and it's active, it's literally gg if they keep at least two or three creatures up.

What are the only cards that can deal with Vault of the Archangel in the format? Sure there are bomby cards like Havengul, but its still totally plausible your opponent will haveremoval to stop any shenanigans you could pull before turn 9 or so; the only cards in the format to send in against vault are ghost quarter, into the maw of hell, scorch the fields and maw of the mire
Oh you're about to kill me? Mill your deck in 2 turns? did you have fun?

You can't really race against that card.

It's a pity I got that in an Intro Pack rather than my pre-release pool :-P
