I came across a box of Disssention boosters recently, and was wondering if since it is such a small set, and the pack value is just around 5$, if it is worth cracking the packs open? I will say that I have already opened 2 packs, and pulled one Simic Skyswallower and one Breeding Pool already. Part of me wants to say Ive already hit more than I should and sell the rest, and another part says that Spell Snare is an uncommon and its a small set so doubles of rares are entirely possible.
I don't want to say how much I payed for the box to avoid bragging, unless it ends up being relevant to the conversation.
Opinions?

Huh. The box wasnt sealed when I got it, and was actually missing two packs. However, the box couldnt have been mapped, or they just didnt want their Breeding Pool. Either way, I guess Ill crack it then. See what happens.

Missing two packs means it wasn't mapped. You need to open two packs just to see where you are on the set map before you can start taking the good stuff
And yeah, unless you can find a buyer that will pay relatively close to store amount ($8ish?) just open them since the box is no longer sealed. Or better yet, get some friends and draft/chaos draft with them.
Since it would be hard to sell the packs for close to retail with the box unsealed, but you have likely pulled the value out already, if you can get 7 friends and charge like 18 each for entry and use the remaining packs as prize, assuming that 18x8 is equal to or less than the price point for the box, is say do that and give the remaining pack in prize.

Odds of pulling a JtMS from a WWK pack: 1:80
Odds of pulling any specific rare in 5th Edition: 1:133
So, on average, 1 JtMS every 2.222 boxes or 1 Bird of Paradise every 3.694 boxes. Yeah, I'll take my odds with Mythics, they are easier to get than old rares.

I ended up cracking last night. I didnt pull a single spell snare, but I did pull 2 breeding pools and 2 Blood Crypts, one which was foil. That and an Infernal Tutor were about the only valuable cards I recieved, but those are good ones to get I suppose.
Are Trygon Predators really moving at around 3$?

Draft sounds a lot more fun and relatively easy to do however. Whatever you do, I hope you have fun!
