MTG Salvation

there is no real sense in having Nissa show up as a card in this block, as her Planeswalker flip side from Origins already essentially contains the BFZ storyline with it (Summoning Ashaya and animating lands).

yea it's looking like there's an additional layer of randomization that's going on in the seeded boosters, we definitely have more than 8 variants in the commons and uncommons. I have seen many duplicate lists in the exact same order, so there is SOME sort of pattern, but it's not currently obvious.

there's usually 8 promos per color/faction, so a 1/8 chance of being mythic. Same ratio as normal packs

it's hit or miss whether or not they'll pull you over to pay taxes on your purchases, we live on the border and do shopping daytrips in the US frequently. Its mostly alcohol and tobacco they're looking for, if you just have games/toys, clothes, food, small electronics, etc, and its a reasonable total value then they usually don't care*. Most of the time even when we do get pulled over to pay taxes, it's still cheaper in the long run (13% tax + exchange rate, vs the insane markup on products in Canada vs the US).

(* occasionally they'll pull you over for taxes regardless of how much you spent, sorta like a random inspection day)

we're only missing 5 lists at this point, plus a few that still require a confirmed order. At this point I believe Dromoka and Atarka are finalized, we just need the other 3 clans now.

The blue part of the khans cycle will likely just be replaced by another blue rare, its not the end of the world. The khans as cards arent anything special in limited, they're basically equivalent to other rares anyway.

Hey all, just like with the previous sets, I will be collecting, compiling, and presenting the Dragons of Tarkir Pre-Release Seeded Booster lists. The compiled lists will be available for viewing here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Apln2HM4aSGbdDJ6MFk5cTBjb09sXzFWdndhTkx2V1E#gid=11

How can you help? At your Pre-Release, open up the special Seeded Booster contained within your box, and record its contents. The preferred method is via a phone/camera snapshot, but a written list will suffice (although not as veritable). For images, a website such as www.imgur.com is great for sharing online. You can also PM me the image if you are concerned about privacy. For an example of an excellent photo, see HERE.

If you can get lists from your friends, other players, or even the whole store (that would be AMAZING!) as well, that would really help to get the lists completed. I cannot complete this without your help!

welp, looks like I'll be opening up a seeded booster contents thread tomorrow

I'm still committed to the thought that the seeded pack commons and uncommons are the exact same configurations as from the KTK prerelease.

I was asked why I wasn't buying any of the product this morning and there was a brief discussion about the difference between mean and median.
When looking at the Rares:
Mean = $5.76
Median = $1.59

At Mythic:
Mean = $38.20
Median = $35.00

I wish you all good luck getting Mythics this weekend.

I bought a blue pack recently but don’t have a camera at the moment (my phone is on the blink). Shall I list the contents of the seeded pack here? I don’t see it on your spreadsheet.

• Hypnotic Siren
  
• Thoughtrender Lamia
  
• Nyx-Fleece Ram
  
• Whitewater Naiads
  
• Triton Shorestalker
  
• Font of Fortunes

OCTGN update, here we come!

I chose white. My seeded pack contained:

• Celestial Archon (promo)
  
• Fleecemane Lion
  
• Insatiable Harpy
  
• Dauntless Onslaught
  
• Centaur Battlemaster
  
• Setessan Griffin
  
• Ray of Dissolution
  
• Felhide Minotaur
  
• Griptide
  
• Hopeful Eidolon
  
• Satyr Rambler
  
• Coastline Chimera
  
• Rage of Purphoros
  
• Battlewise Valor
  
• Feral Invocation
  
• Ephara's Warden
  

I ended up building Red/White and going 3/2 (I had Purphoros and his hammer), but my blue was very strong with 4 Griptides and 2 Mneumonic Wall.
