Theros Box and Packs

   So today those of us at MTG The Journey picked up our box we pre-ordered. We didn't happen to be in the top 30 who ordered a box, so we didn't get the "buy a box" Sylvan Caryatid promo, which was rather disappointing. But we did manage to get a few good pulls, and quite a few Mythics in our box. Just to name a few:

Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver 
Erebos, God of the Dead 
Stormbreath Dragon 
Underworld Cerberus 
Ashen Rider Thoughtseize 
Sylvan Caryatid 
Whip of Erebos 
Swan Song 

and many more, we played a few pack wars in the beginning, but after 5-6 rounds, just opened packs up and got excited at some of the pulls we had. We took an hour or so to do some sorting and get into our Xen mode of working through our cards. We then called it a night and said we'd sort through the commons later. All in all we got very close to $190 of worth out of our $95 box, so it was very worth our investment.

   The best part of the whole night was the packs we bought from Wal-Mart, that weren't even included in our case. We each bought one pack, just for the pure sake of getting one the day they came out. And sure enough, he pulled a Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx, worth $7 on the $4 he spent! And I pulled a Purphoros, God of the Forge, worth $28 on the $4 I spent! So well worth the investment! Never underestimate those random packs!

   Over the next few days, we will be waiting for our pre-orders to come in from MTG Madness and Coolstuffinc, and get ready to work on some new brews. Look forward to the Mono-Black deck we have coming up, as well as our All-American-Control brew we are working as well.

     Thanks for reading, and we hope to hear some input from you soon!
