Our store has Russian Guildpact, so I bought like 5 and got:
-Stomping Ground
-Godless Shrine
-Rumbling Slum
-Tibor and Lumia
-Leyline of Singularity
-Mortify
-Gelectrode
In my normal box though, I got a Shrine and a Steam Vent among Slum, Burning-Tree Shaman, Ghost Council, and Foil Invoke the Firemind.
@Boxy: Not really. Some have them, some dont. I know two people from our store who didnt get any in their boxes, but there was one person that got 5 duals in his, and one was foil.

3 damage for 2 mana; it’s like playing 8 Lightning Helixes, except 4 of them have AIDS.
i got in my box
1 of each shockland
1 of each nephilim (one foil :crying:)
1 rumbling slum
1 solifuge
1 burning tree
1 cerebral vortex
1 quicken
1 blue+green leyline
1 invoke the firemind
5 izzet guildmage
2 teysa
a bunch of other crap i dont remember
We live in a country were ~50% of the populace believe public schooling is a socialist conspiracy and that being called Einstein is an insult. We could try and fix it, but unfortunately the other 50% don't believe in euthanasia.
I managed to get a Gelectrode in my pack... two Schismotivates... hmmm, I don't remember much else. I bought a Djinn Illuminatus... and I made sure I had a playset of Mortify (3.00) that went along with the two Orzhov precons I got, Wild Cantor and half a playset of Shadow Lance... all of those I bought as singles.
No guildmages yet (excluding Orzhov, I want me some Izzet).
1 stomping ground
2 burning tree shamen
1 quicken
1 niv-mizzet
1 ghost council
1 angel of despair
2 giant solifuge
The rest was pretty much crap (lots of leylines, foil rare was mimeofacture, blech.). Horrible when compared to my Ravnica Box (4 duals with 1 being foil) but I suppose they can't all be like that.
That's some good stuff. I haven't gotten a box yet, but I played in 2 flights at the prerelease. I opened a godless shrine in 2nd flight and an overgrown tomb in the first flight. I then traded a rav dual for a steam vents and then opened up a steam vents in my winnings.
These are some of my better cards to trade:
white
1 savannah lions (8th)
1 balance (revised)
1 academy rector
10 wrath of god
blue
4 tinker
red
3 fledgling dragon
green
2 life from the loam
7 birds of paradise
land
3 windswept heath
2 forbidden orchard
multi
1 pernicious deed
2 sliver queen
I'm looking for the duals I said up top, 1 adarkar waste, 1 polluted delta, 2 call of the herd, good guildpact stuff, and just any other really good card. Cash is always great too. I have a lot more than listed above, but that's just stuff that I know off the top of my head I have extra.

I opened four boxes (ordered online, a lot cheaper). The first box was awesome, although it doesn't beat five duals, one foil. I got three duals, one foil (Steam Vents), in the first box. The others were kind of meh, two duals a box, which I think is kind of low, but not bad considering some boxes had none. Must be a shorter than average print run on the duals, guess they're trying to keep them as hard to pull as the Rav ones, maybe harder. I don't consider the Leylines jank yet (well, I consider the red and white ones jank), since a lot of people want them. The black one certainly isn't jank. I completed my set of Councils, Shamans, Pontiffs, and Slums, and got three Solifuge (dunno whether that is still good, may run two). I also completed my set of Shrines, which made me really happy. Oh yeah, and if anyone wants to trade a foil Shrine for a foil Steam Vents, PM me.

Wow, the average is that low? I guess my boxes were good then, so no complaints. I just heard a lot of stories of people opening three or four duals a box, so I figured three was average. Yeah, four and one foil is insane. I gotta find out what Magic god that guy is praying to.

Today I went to my shop and did some major trading...I am now two cards shy of a complete Guildpact collection already. I miss Ghost Council of the Orzhova and Sanguine Praetor
That is just a small amount of cards, I ended up gett 16 in return. Sad thing is, he wants my foil Temple Garden in addition...and I just barely made even today. I will be forced to haggle.

I'm still looking for 3 stomping ground and 2 steam vents. Anyone trading away those? Motl is still down, but my list is here when it's not down.
