Thanks for doing this. I'm on the fence about drafting, but I am also on the fence about ripping a few packs just for funsies. $10 is a ton for funsies, and your generator is going to help folks see just what a pack might look like.

I can't say I'm pleased to see you and must warn you I may have to do something about it.

First pack for me was BAM: Cryptic Command. Then 7 packs in: nothing to brag about....When my first pack was my best, I am leary. Too bad I already pre-ordered a box, I guess.

If you are going to first pick a 4 CMC artifact, should you go for the Sunburst Etched Oracle or the mediocre Rusted Relic. Basically, is it better to hope for "domain" or metalcraft?

I am looking for Date Stamped promos from Khans of Tarkir block so I can finish my set. Check my wants if you have any.
Currently offering 2 non-foil Kolighan's Command for a Date Stamped foil!
Rares/mythics: Mirror Entity, Bitterblossom (yay), Necroskitter, Surgical Extraction (meh its okay), Dark Confidant, Wildfire. I'm going to take a wild guess and say this is probably the exception rather than the norm. Though it would be cool if actual pack openings were like this.

I assume Metalcraft, as there seems to be very little actual support for 5-Color decks.
It'd be nice to be able to sort by rarity rather than color. Having the cards presented in the same order of a regular pack (commons, uncommons, rare/mythic) would be much more convenient for getting that classic 'pack ripping' feel.
always take the packs as prizes and then just horde them for later...if you get enough for a draft, huzzah! Otherwise, you can resell them for more later.

My first sealed pool was amazing. Foil Iona and a Dark Confidant with a bunch of strong blue and black cards. I think I could've won some packs with that pool and even if I didn't it already paid for itself. Nine sealed pools later though and I've opened a bunch of garbage and only one other time did I have a pool that looked playable.
EDIT: Sealed pool 13 had 3 Tezzerets in it with a bunch of other artifact stuff.
Unfortunately every try hard from Sacramento to Shanghai preaches from the top of their 27 lands + Mana Reflection that Tooth and Nail and Time Stretch are fine to play in the same turn but Armageddon is unfair.

I will work on adding that option today. Thanks for the idea.

"Cracked open" a six-pack sealed pool. Saw some early ramp enablers and two good cards in Pelakka Wurm and Artisan of Kozilek, so I'm thinking that's the way to go.
Last pack had Ulamog and a foil Kozilek. Damn.
If only this could be real life...my luck, I'll be the one to crack two mythics out of my box, and they will both be Comet Storm.

So with the goyf and opal you could not break 240 when the 2 together are more then $200? The simulator seems to like giving me 2-5 guile's per box though.
Honestly, if they want MM2 to sell they should probably take this down. Ugly ugly ugly.

Here in europe prices are different, tarmgoyf cost 100€ and mox opal 40€, 140€ when boxes sell by 220€ ... not rent anyway, EEUU has overprices in every cards, serum visions here cost 3€ or 5€ at maximun not 10$ and remand cost 8-10€ not 20$ ...

I have made a sealed pool generator for Modern Masters 2. You can check it out here:
Modern Masters 2 Sealed Pool Simulator
Please let me know if you have any suggestions for improvement to the generator or if you notice any problems.
Good idea - I will add that now.
Thanks

Second set of 6 packs: Fulminator Mage, Cranial Plating, Bolt, Electrolyze, and Surgical Extraction.
Third set was really good: Mirran Crusader, Dismember, Splinter Twin, Bolt, Noble Hierarch, Wilt-Leaf Liege, and Blinkmoth Nexus.

Second attempt - Karn, foil Leyline, Hurkyl's, Hierach
Final attempt - Literally nothing perhaps $15 of junk
Feels like I'm more likely to get what I did on my last attempt than first two if I actually did a sealed event. No way I'm gambling $60 on this.
$75 for sealed. The idea is if you're a good player you might win 5-8 more packs at the end. Still not worth it unless you're an avid limited player.

1 Pack noticeable cards: Vapor Snag, Cranial Platting.
Fat Pack noticeable cards: Ulamog, Daybreak Coronet, Battlegrace Angel, Cryptic Command, 2 Remand, Mana Leak, 2 Pupeteer Clique (1 foil), Splinter Twin, 3 Smash to Smithereens, 2 Tribal Flames, Horde of Notions, Electrolyze, Lodestone Golem, 2 Cranial Platting.
That was a pretty loaded fat pack, the rest was meh.
