With Dragon's Maze now officially release...Lets use this thread as a gathering point to show off our Pulls from random packs, boxes, fatpacks, etc.....
Do you get bomb pulls? Do you pull a sick foil? Let us Know!
I currently just purchased a Box and Fatpack at my LGS and these were my pulls...
Everyone knows that good luck and good game are such insincere terms that any man who does not connect his right hook with the offender's jaw on the very utterance of such a phrase is no man I would consider as such.
Bought a couple fat packs, few single boosters and split a box with some friends.
Mythics:
2 Master of Cruelties
2 Savageborn Hydra (traded one for a Boros Reckoner which was a decent trade)
2 Council of the Absolute
1 Blood Baron of Vizkopa
1 Legion's Initiative
1 Reap Intellect
Notable rares:
2 Blood Scriveners
2 Notion Thief
2 Aetherling
4 Vorel of the Hull Clade (I wouldn't say good notable)
3 Teysa
3 Emmara
3 Exava
3 Tajic
Foil Advent of the Wurm and Zhu Taa Ancient
I think that's probably it for boosters. However, a friend of mine has bought 10 packs and pulled two Voice of Resurgence, which is SO ANNOYING for me, but cool for him.

Wizards print good rares, players complain about cash grab. They print underwhelming rares, players complain that the cards suck. They spoil the best cards first, players complain about the insane prices of preorders. They spoil the meh cards first, players complain that this is the worst set ever.
So. I think I understand now.
As far as these forums are concerned, WotC can never do anything good because:
Card that is new and probably good = "pushed"
Card that is new and probably bad = "EDH/casual fodder"
Card that is a reprint = "lazy"
Card that is a better version of an older card = "power creep"
Card that is a weaker version of an older card = "worthless"
4x Voice of Resurgence (1 is a foil)
4x Ral Zarek
2x Blood Baron
2x Legion Initiative
2x Master of Cruelties
4x Progenitor Mimic
3x each other mythic
8x shocklands
Notable foils:
Blood Scivenger
Notion Thief
Warleader's Helix
7 Guildgates
Putrefy
Render Silent
+40 other random foils
Playset of each rare + between 0 and 3 extra copies of each
3 Playsets of each common and uncommon

that's not what happened at all. kamahl stabbed phage, akroma, and some old lady and they became korona. then korona got stabbed by her "prophets" and kamahl got drunk with a mutant centaur
bought a weird box, with multiple packs with the same commons in the same order. first box i bought with 10+ foils, is this the new norm? Anyway, quite happy with the pulls:
I ended up with tons of Ready//Willing. I believe I opened one in each sealed, draft, and another two in my fatpack. The big surprise was the Voice of Resurgence and I was really happy. Usually my fatpacks are full of intro rares.
Bought all of 3 boosters since the prerelease. Packed a Voice of Resurgence in the last one, traded for a huge stack of more playable (for me) cards. Quite pleased.
I've bought about 6 boosters. Pulled Beck/Call, Stomping Ground, Renegade Krasis, possibility storm, Lavinia of the Tenth, and Tajic. Pretty much only buying one pack at a time.
I got a Rakdos intro pack and got a foil Ixava, Rakdos Blood Witch. Haha. Out of the two boosters I pulled a Master of Cruelties, which seemed appropriate. If I was a noob I'd be in heaven right now. Master would pwn in the intro deck vs intro deck battles! Yeah but really I didn't buy any DGM other than that intro pack, which was mostly for fun. Still, I think Master of Cruelties could make a showing in standard at some point. Grixis Control maybe? Jund? The better the Farseek plus fatties strategy gets the better Master's I-kill-everything ability gets. Plus control needs to apply a little pressure against ramp (esp w/Cavern) and Master sends them to one. "Flashback Geistflame much? Regardless it's one of my favorite cards in the set due to flavor, art, etc. I don't want to "derail" the pulls thread, I just want my one pull to be good since I'm not going to buy any more DGM!
I have yet to get the box that I pre-ordered, but I lived the dream and cracked three rares out of a single pack. Aetherling, foil Catch//Release, and a Watery Grave. Seems like good value for EDH shenanigans, so I'm quite happy.
Money wise, I opened one of the most lousy booster boxes of all time. Plenty of cards I'll play but no money cards, one Shock (Blood Crypt), and my multiple rare pulls were beyond jank. In addition to the buy a box promo (Render Silent) I opened a Reg and a foil one for a total of 3. It's a card I'll play at some point but sheesh. Bound to happen, the last two booster boxes I opened were lucrative.
Here is my pull from two boxes:
