I did not find any topic on that yet, so I'll simple start one, even though I think only casuals might be interested. However, casuals feel even more "fooled" of they are actually lied to.
As my girlfriend, a few days ago, complained she had no cards to improve her Boros deck, and I stumbled over these theme boosters I had never heard about before in the RNA survey by Wotsie, I decided to buy one as a gift. She was particularly keen to see the "at least one rare or mythic" to "improve her Boros deck". Well, guess what... it was Chamber Sentry. You got that right, the five-color-crap. So that seemed to be what Wotsie calls "improving your Boros deck"? Honestly, now? Guess who got the blame for "buying *****" (it's always the messenger who takes the blame). I'll get her an Aurelia now, buying it directly...
Did you open any "Theme Boosters" whose rare (or mythic...) did not in the least fit the theme? I feel somehow cheated and want my money back...
Not every rare is a bomb, or even useful bomb for a particular deck. Boros more generally stands for R/W, not just R/W aggro, though the color combination usually wants to be aggressive. Buying boosters is in essence a lottery, even if the booster is seeded. You don't have any claim on getting a winning pack. If you want something specific, just buy it, don't gamble.
But let me ask you this. Would she play this card in her deck?
Chamber Sentry WR
Creature - Construct
Sacrifice Chamber Sentry, t : Chamber Sentry deals 2 damage to any target.
2/2
If the answer is yes, then you got an even better one with the Sentry out of your pack.
I opened too many of these Guild Theme packs to know they were a terrible deal. Every one I opened was a single rare. That along with ~5-6 uncommons was just not worth the ~2X price of a booster. Yeah, it was nice they were on color point, but unless you are playing pack wars with them, felt they were overpriced.
