I went to the local card shop after my tax return was cashed-bought 4 PC packs, 2 TS tournament packs. Pretty much jank, except for a Vesuva and Boom/Bust.
I got home later that night and went through the tournament pack lands to organize them. I thumbed through to the back of the stack and almost crapped myself.
Did a 1/1/1 TS draft game with my roommates last night. The three packs I opened had Akroma, Angel of Wrath, Akroma, Angel of Fury, and Graven Cairns as their rares, respectively. I was giggling like a schoolgirl about the dual Akromas.

I guess the best thing I recently cracked fron a booster pack was one my husband gave me out of a box he had gotten. he gave me six packs out of the box (only six out of 36, sadness) but my first crack was more than worth it.
And yes, no incantatrix for you. Or anyone. That class makes puppies cry. Mostly because they are the former Big Bads who have been Baleful Polymorphed into said puppies. By you. Because you're an incantatrix.

I suppose it's true. Though the logistics implied in a human/Great Wyrm Prismatic Dragon pairing makes me shudder.
...Something tells me that even should all arcane casters in the world unite, that the Grease spell would NOT be sufficient.
At the recent pre-release, I ended up going 3-1, thus netting six prize packs. I open pack number six, and not only see a shiney, but it is a shiney Bitterblossom. Sweet! Look to the rare...and it's Mutavault!
Nice 25 dollar pack, and for free no less!
Then, later on, I do a 2HG round. Nabbed Garruk, and opened a foil Lightning Crafter. Then, when I split the random prize with my friend, we opened another regular Crafter. Nice!
I recently opened a chinese box of Onslaught ... 5 Fetchlands! Polluted Delta Foil! Can anyone say Ebay? Needless to say, it is going to easily pay for the box plus buy me a set of Underground Sea and Maybe a few Tundra. Plus I still walk away with alot of awesome chinese cards.

At FNM tonight, someone I know bought a Morningtide box. Top pulls were 2x Murmuring Bosk (1 foil), 2x Mutavault, 1x Countyside Crusher, 2x Taurean Mauler, and some other solid stuff.
My store decided to do a five pack sealed morningtide event in those packs i got 2 mutavault a countryside crusher the new mindtwist looking card and the red x damage card that can be brought back if you win a clash so i played black/red and won 15 packs yay!
Merged with the Official Thread created specifically for this purpose (bragging about your cards) that would have been simple to find with even a minimal amount of searching.

"...because without beer, things do not seem to go as well."
and some other good stuff mixed in amonst the junk.
At the morningtide Pre-release i got
FOIL Mutavualt,
Murmoring Bosk,
the rare elemental land,
Horde of notions (with that mana base i had to run it! lol)
Dont recall what my other lorwyn rares were, but they were far eclipsed by the rare lands outta morningtide
when a new set comes out i usually by one box, then if i need/want anything else i just trade or buy it outright. I very, very rarely buy packs. that said, i didn't have any cryptic commands at all. no one would trade and no store here had any. i could have bought them online but never did as i wasn't playing blue at the time and didn't need them.
one day last week at wal-mart, on a whim for some reason, i decided to buy four packs (i know they are overpriced there, like i said, a whim). open the first one, cryptic, open the second one, cryptic, open the third one, doran (that gave me a set), fourth pack, liliana and a foil cryptic command! i went to fnm that week and traded my foil cryptic for 2 regular ones thus giving me my playset!
best pack buy ever.
So....at the cardshop I play at, I noticed that they had a few packs of Russian Dissention. I was low on cash, but grabbed three packs. There was a bit of tension between the shopgoers, for the foil rare hadn't been pulled. Nor had two of the Dual lands. A Hallowed fountain was pulled, but not a Crypt or Pool.
I open the first pack, and after figuring out the print run (common, rare, uncommons) I shift to where the rare would be. I see something shiny. And a land. White and blue...at first I thought that it was a Chancery. A closer look ended with my jaw on the floor. Foil Russian Hallowed Fountain. Many a high-five was had.

He gave me the entire box for it, because he didn't need it and I needed new cards. (Yes, we keep separate trade binders and such.)
