I opened 3 boxes for my LGS and they had 3 fetches per box. The box I purchased though came from that same case, so I'll be pretty pissed if my box is crap. Though the likelihood is kind of high since the 3 boxes I opened were pretty damn good. Knowing my luck, I'll get the 2 mythic box with 2 fetches only.
Also got 2 Zurgo Helmsmasher (a better card than I think people are giving credit for) and a Hooded Hydra, a card I definitely want to give a shot. Funny thing, the Bloodsoaked Champion was the ONLY black rare in my entire box. All the other mono-colors had at least 3-5. Just found it strange.
All in all, I really can't *****. I do, however, wish I had more of the better uncommons. But those are easy enough to get.

Just home from drafting, 3 draft tables opened 15 (2 foils) fetchlands and that was only the pods, don't know what anyone got in prizes (haven't opened my own cause I plan on drafting those).
At the pre-release 11 people opened 11 (3 foils).
It turns out fetchlands aren't any more special than painlands or checklands, and they're pulled as muc, it's just that we notice because this time the rare mana fixing is worth $20 stead of $2.
So far from 5 sealed, 1 draft, and 24 prize packs, I have 0 fetches in 57 packs. I still have 12 unopened prize packs saved for team sealed practice, but I doubt there are 5 fetches in there to make up for my terrible luck.
If anyone has 0 fetches with more packs opened I would be surprised.
Out of my two prerelease pools, the most expensive card I got was a foil Ankle Shanker (not the promo).
Got passed a Bloodsoaked Champion in the draft I attended tonight, opened Avalanche Tusker, Thousand Winds and Hardened Scales in my draft packs. Finally got a mythic in my one prize pack (Wingmate Roc)
Then my box had value of 1 fetch (Flooded Strand), 3 mythics (Sorin, Pearl Lake Ancient, and Empty the Pits). I got three Master of Pearls, 3 Avalanche Tusker, 3 Dragon Throne, 3 Dragon Style Twins, 3 Abzan Ascendancy, and 3 Mardu Ascendancy as my multiples. Holy cow, I have never gotten so many 3-ofs. Wish any of them had been decent.
i got mixed feeling about my case,
i am quiet satisfied because the reason i buy 1 case is to have complete playsets of the fetchland, and 3x Sarkhan. and i achieve just that
but i am still feeling a little bit cheated because i just got 1x Sorin. total only 4 planeswalker on 1 case. i really like more
edit: how you guys rate about my box ? please give me some opinion, since this is my first time buying a case
Wizards print good rares, players complain about cash grab. They print underwhelming rares, players complain that the cards suck. They spoil the best cards first, players complain about the insane prices of preorders. They spoil the meh cards first, players complain that this is the worst set ever.
So. I think I understand now.
As far as these forums are concerned, WotC can never do anything good because:
Card that is new and probably good = "pushed"
Card that is new and probably bad = "EDH/casual fodder"
Card that is a reprint = "lazy"
Card that is a better version of an older card = "power creep"
Card that is a weaker version of an older card = "worthless"
I opened 6 boxes (2KR, 2JP, 1 EN, 1 RU)
1st KR box: 2 wooded foothills
2nd KR box: one of each
EN box: one of each
both JP boxes: one of each
RU box: all except Polluted Delta
One of the boxes had only 2 mythics (both PWs, so not too bad) and the others had 5~6. I opened 3 Sorins and 2 Sarkhans. I had at least one of each mythic. Not great foil rares thou.
Across 5 prereleases and prize packs I cracked just 2 fetches (foothills and windswept heath.) Got 2 sorins and 2 of the promo dig through time though as well as foil see the unwritten. This includes prize packs as well.
As for opening zero in a box? Well do that across multiple and I will be surprised. One? Not at all. All rares are just as likely to be opened whether they're polluted delta or avalanche tusker.
4 fetches: Flooded Strand x2 (1 foil), Wooded Foothills, Bloodstained Mire
See the Unwritten
Clever Impersonator
1 of each Ascendancy
End Hostilities x2 (1 foil, both in same pack!)
Butcher of the Horde
Suppression Field (foil)
Surrak Dragonclaw
Pearl Lake Ancient
Seemed like pretty good value to me. Foil Flooded Strand is $75 on SCG right now.
I have only opened six packs of KTK and got...(3 opened in release event, 1 from winning pack round, and 2 for prizes for going X-1)
3 x Butcher of the Horde
2 x Trap Essence
1 x Flooded Strand
Pretty weird but if I bought a thousand packs it would all balance out I imagine.

As humans, we have a tendency to cling to ideologies. Any positive set of beliefs can quickly turn malevolent once treated as ideology and not an honest intellectual or experiential pursuit of greater truth. Ideology does in entire economic systems and countries, causes religions to massacre thousands, turns human rights movements into authoritarian sects and makes fools out of humanity’s most brilliant minds. Einstein famously wasted the second half of his career trying to calculate a cosmological constant that didn’t exist because “God doesn’t play dice.”
Opened one box so far. 8 Fetches. Not one Bloodstained Mire though. 5 Mythics including Sarkhan and Wingmate Roc. Overall, with all the cards, I'd say this the happiest I've been with WotC in a long time as far as opening packs go. I don't loathe any rares and am actually being stalked by a reasonably powerful card in Crackling Doom. Including my box I have opened maybe 50 packs and am the proud owner of 5. Keep up the good work Wizards.
I have no idea how they're distributing fetchlands. My buddy and I each opened a box and got a grand total of 3 (2 in my box and 1 in his). Later that day we played a $20 Sealed event. He opened three fetchlands out of six packs, with one foil. I opened a fetch and then another from my winnings. It just seems strange to me.
Opened a pretty gross box today. Got one Bloodstained Mire, no other fetches, both Planeswalker emblems but no planeswalker, foil junk rare that didn't even have an extra rare in the pack.
I watched a lot of boxes get opened today too. Every box but one had at least two fetches. One box I saw had 0 and a Sarkhan as it's only saving grace. Right before that a guy cracked a box that had 5 fetches including a foil Strand and a planeswalker or two along with about 5 other mythics and two foil rares. Digusting...
I also opened a fat pack, got 1 fetch. Guy right after me opened 4 fetches and Sarkhan in his fat pack. I hate my luck.
I am definitely going to trade the foil for a play set of normal and that Sorin, which is my 3rd one from all 3 of my boxes, is going to be traded for more fetches as well.
Out of all 3 boxes I opened up 4 Ugin's Nexus, which became very annoying.

The first box ended up paying for itself, but the second fell quite short. The most annoying was pulling 3 Sultai Ascendancy and 3 Avalanche Tusker.
As for opening zero in a box? Well do that across multiple and I will be surprised. One? Not at all. All rares are just as likely to be opened whether they're polluted delta or avalanche tusker.

I am definitely going to trade the foil for a play set of normal and that Sorin, which is my 3rd one from all 3 of my boxes, is going to be traded for more fetches as well.
Out of all 3 boxes I opened up 4 Ugin's Nexus, which became very annoying.
I'll trade you the playset of Dragon-Style Brothers I cracked for your Nexuses.
