I played MTG before and came back recently.
I bought 2 boxes master25 recently and I am wondering is it normal that only 2 mythic in one box? [the code is SD 80381]
I know the random but I heard there should be 3 MR in each box
I email the company but no much useful respond and I don't know whoelse I can find.
thanks
It's not guaranteed that there are three mythics per box. Masters sets are extremely high variance due to the fact they are only 24 booster packs, so sometimes you may get three, sometimes you get two, and very rarely (usually because of a packing issue) you'll end up with one. The last scenario is pretty rare, but given the issue at the printers there was a batch of masters 25 that came out of the gate heavily flawed, so there is that to contend with.
My personal recommendation is to not buy masters sets. They are extremely over priced sets even when the card values are really high, such as with Masters 2017, and you'll never really feel satisfied opening a box of one. The reason WoTC has continued to print these sets to any degree of success is due to the competitive scene inflating the prices on a lot of cards. This sounds like a winning formula, but the only people who like paying the inflated prices are the competitive players and they are doing that via the singles market. So there is this inflated box of 24 packs sitting on a shelf that is priced for tournament players, yet tournament players would never buy the boxes.
I cancelled all but one box of masters 25 and gifted the last one to my friend. We opened it and got a bunch of completely worthless cards outside of maybe two or three and the total price of the money cards was like 80-90 dollars. That was like half of what was paid for with the box. Even though we did a quick few games of limited, sweet mercy this is like taking ones hard earned money and lighting it on fire.

1. (Ravnica Allegiance): You can't keep a good esper control deck down... Or Wilderness Reclamation... or Gates...
2. (War of the Spark): Guys, I know what we need! We need a cycle of really idiotic flavor text victory cards! Jace's Triumph...
3. (War of the Spark): Lets make the format with control have even more control!
thank you very much,
I bought just for some memories
however it's very disappointing
I expected to be a normal 3, so I came for some answers,
thank you all

No problem. If you really want to bring back memories of playing the game I'd suggest instead to try and find a box of original Innistrad. That set was one of the most fun to open sets I can remember. I think the price is in the 300s right now for one, though. I wouldn't recommend Dark Ascension too much. RTR is where the game started going into a different era, but it does have shocks and is a fairly fun format to play.

Yeah. I'm assuming you open booster boxes and packs from the first post so those would be my picks on sets to do it with. The only masters set that is probably worth opening is the original Modern Masters because of the value they had at every level of rarity, but those are going for 500 or so now, which is well above any sense of good taste when it comes to recommendations.

Masters and Iconic have formed one of the worst mistakes wizards ever made simply by the fact they destroyed any confidence people had in masters products. Not that they were very good to begin with even when they did strike gold. At the end of the day it doesn't matter what the secondary market says the value of the cards are inside of the box: The player is still paying a huge sum of money for way less. The only time this wasn't true was with Modern Masters 2013, and they've never made one like that since.

BRGKresh the BloodbraidedBRG, A box of lands and ideas.
Modern:
RG Titanshift. A deck made of cards too stupid for EDH.
Retired: Lots. More than I feel you should suffer through or I should type out.

You mean crack a booster box?
