I opened 2 boxes and only got 1 Psionic Blast. Hoping to get at least 1 per box in my next 2 boxes. Or at least 1 Foil that I could trade foor 2 normals/sell to buy 2 normals.
I've probably opened close to three boxes worth and I'm at 2 Psi blasts, albeit one of them foiled:D . That sounds about right though, given there are 121 timeshifted cards, 36 per box, that's about 1 of a particular timeshifted cards per 3 and a bit boxes in general. Of course it doesn't always work that way, but that's about the ratio they're produced.
Reminds me of my girlfriend's first packs for sealed. It was one tournament pack + 2 boosters of Ravnica. She pulled two Dark Confidants and a foil Birds of Paradise. I also got a Dark Confidant in one of my boosters that day... Bob must have been smiling upon us or something like that
Silliest thing ever was explaining to a friend about rarities and what you hope for when opening packs as I went through my just-in box of Ravnica boosters.
I explained about the super expensive cards (decent foils) and how I'd never got any, and literally as I said that, a foil Overgrown Tomb came out of my pack
Other than that, my luck sucks. Nearly 3 boxes worth of coldsnap - 1 Ohran Viper!

Well, I had 3 Vipers in one booster box, one of them foil. But I took that as a luck's repayment for opening only one dual in cca 80 boosters of Dissension - so it was the exact opposite case than yours.
Other than that, my two TS boxes were following:
Left column:
Draining Whelk,Nicol Bolas
Academy Ruins,Whirling Dervish
Plague Sliver, Mistform Ultimus FOIL
Opal Guardian, Stormscape Familiar
Fungus Sliver,Thornscape Battlemage
Magus of the Disk, Mistform Ultimus, Might Sliver FOIL
Liege of the Pit, Dragonstorm
Thelonite Hermit, Pirate Ship
Magus of the Candelabra, Witch Hunter, FOIL Terramorphic Expanse
Spike Tiller, Soltari Priest
Sedge Sliver, Ovinomancer
Magus of the Scroll,Gaea's Liege

Ah you are the swine who stole my vipers
Also, it's not amazing as such, but between my brother and I, we opened roughly 9 boxes of Ravnica and Guildpact (don't ask... we went mad for some reason). Every single box had exactly 3 dual lands in them. Rather nice

It's been a while but when I still had my Rafinity deck I was looking for a 4th ravager and as I cracked open the one pack of darksteel I had bought I said outloud to the store owner "Ya know I need that 4th ravager really bad right now", and as luck would have it Richard Garfield smiled upon me and the pretty foil ravager was mine!
And with all this talk of Psi Blast I'd like to post one of my more recent packs..lol, store owner was whining about how they'd gone through 4 boxes of time spiral and no one had pulled the psi blast yet, so he cracks open a new one and I randomly pull one out(2nd one in the middle from the top) and I laughed my ass off when I opened A stuffy doll, a foil stuffy doll and foil psy blast among other things. Immediately traded it off for 4x Sedge Slivers and 4x Jaya Ballard. More play value for me.

Thanks to Le_Gambit at the [Æther] for the awesome signature and banner!
Meh. Akroma hates me apparently seeing as i havent opened one out of 2 boxes i bought and 4 First place prize supports. Whatever, here my latest 3 packs i have bought:
Foil spectral force Ovinio mancer
Saffi eriksdotter Stuffy doll (has anyone else gotten these double regular rare packs? It pisses me off because one of my prize supports was all of this)
Kaervek the merciless Enduring renewal
There seems to be alot of printing errors in this set. i have seen miscoloring wrongly assigned pack rares and cards that wete cut with fringes on the bottom.
The very first pack I opened at the PR(no passing) was Foil Stronghold Overseer, Merieke ri Berit and Kaervek. I also had a Liege of the pit and another Stronghold Overseer in my tourney deck. went 4-0-1 and got 3/4 box for that.
I also did a draft at the PR and the first pack I open is Foil Tormod's crypt which sold for over 45 on ebay.
I opened 2 boxes of Time Spiral yesterday, and i'm annoyed. No Psionic Blast, meanwhile. I pulled 3 Resurrections. Out of 4 boxes, i've only gotten 1 Psionic Blast, only 3 Griffin Guides. How can you only get 3 of 1 uncommon in 4 boxes? that's mean.
It's called 'randomness'
I know the feeling though, especially about the timeshifted cards.
EG I opened 13 TS boosters - got no decent timeshifted cards, but multiples of crap ones (only ones that spring to mind is war barge and that baby dragon one :().
I may actually go back to opening Dissension instead when I win stuff at FNM - I desperately need it's duals and many of it's rares - more so than TS definately.

It took me two boxes to get 4 Cancel. It's odd that a common can be so hard to get. Meanwhile, I pulled atleast 20 Terramorphic Expanse.
Of a mediocre box, I had one good pack where I pulled Akroma and a Lotus Bloom. Foil Disintegrate was not bad. Got a foil Shivan Dragon from one of the 9th ed. packs I got as well.
1 Akroma
1 Magus of the Scroll
1 Trickbind
1 Honorable Passage
The best pack I have ever busted was definately at Grand Prix DC before Fifth Dawn came out, when I busted a pack of Japanese Darksteel and got a Foil Jap Skullclamp, which I promptly sold for 50 dollars
Best I ever did was I bought 3 paks of ravnica block, one of each expansion grabbing them from random areas of the box. Brought them home and opened them up......3 duals!!! One Godless Shrine, one overgrown tomb , and one breeding pool!! That was the ultimate pack opening experience, I couldn't beleive it, usually I do have pretty crappy luck, 2 boxes of TS = no jaya ballard , 1 psi , 1 akroma........also thru a whole box of dissention , not one mortify, or electrolyze

mine is oviously one.
Hit me with those digits!
4 boxes, 2 total Psi Blast. Both in one box.
There was a print run error, and I kept getting tourney packs with the same run of Purples and/or Rares.
There was a purple print run that involved Psionic Blast, Valor, and something else I forget, and I got it twice in one box.
Yay!
