Opened five booster boxes today. Out of five boxes only one Liliana and one Garruk. The odd thing was they both came out of the same box along with a foil Snapcaster Mage. I've never opened that many boosters at once. Does that seem like a normal ratio? The boxes were really heavy on the rare lands and I pulled a playset of Geist of Saint Traft. Curious how others have done on booster boxes.

Opened one box.

1 Garruk, no Liliana or Snapcaster or Geist

Got a Sulfur Falls, Grimoire, Hinterland Harbor, and Isolated Chapel though.

It wasn't great but it wasn't bad. Didn't do too bad on the mythics. Got a lot for my Humans deck (Champion, Mentor, Nevermore, Stony Silence, etc.)

I'm pretty sure Garruk will have no correlation with the other rares/mythics, since the double sided cards areon their own print run.

If it helps, I pulled geist, liliana, garruk, snapcaster, and 2 enemy lands

i opened one box and i got a bunch of duals and other lands one lilliana garruk snapcaster and a geist. It just seemed strange to me that i pulled them one after another. It seems like you can get a bunch of double rare packs in this set. A lot of people got double rares in my prerealse at my shop.

Opened a box. No Liliana, no Garruk, no Snapcaster. I got a Geist, a foil Olivia, a normal Olivia, and 3 terrible mythics (the one that makes zombies, that stupid dragion and the grimoire). Opened Hinterland Harbor, Isolated Chapel and the B/G one. Not a bad box overall, but nothing amazing.

From what i hear these boxes are pretty stacked one way or the other. Getting a ton of rare lands makes sense tho, there are 10 rare ones.

for now. It has potential. I'm not saying its great, but its certainly better then things like lilliana 1.0, chandra 1.0, jace 3.0, etc
Give it some time. I was tinkering with it in U/W control splash garruk and it did okay for me. It was hard to tell if the deck was bad or if garruk was. He seemed to do okay but then the deck would still get ran over because it didn't provide him backup.

I thought i was just me. I opened 2 boxes and I have 3 of every enemy dual and 2 of every other rare land (except u/w I only got 1 of those). No Snapcaster, no Liliana, no Garruk and one Geist of Saint Traft. Seems like the ratio for this set is horrible. I'm not buying anymore. Better off just buying the singles I want at this rate.

I opened 2 boxes.

Got 1 Liliana, no Garruk, 2 Snapcaster, and I think 5 of the "dual" lands.

opened 2 boxes
1 garruk 1 geist 2 snapcaster 5 buddy lands 5 other rare lands

things i've seen
got a buddy who buys 14 boxes of each set
0 liliana, 2 garruk and 5 are more of everyghing else

one of the younger kids at the lgs got a box from the store. By trading for it and the local guy is so nice only rapped $300 of cards out of his binder. Since he doesn't trade for packs are boxes he had to give what the guy would give in cash. But in the end the kid got the last laugh
1x foil and non foil liliana 1x foil and non foil snapcaster 1x garruk 1x giest

Opened 6 boxes and pulled 2 Liliana, 2 Garruk, 2 Geist of Saint Traft, and 3 Snapcaster Mage. Had 1 of each planeswalker and a Snapcaster out of 1 of the boxes. Land ratio was about 2.5 per box for the enemy duals.

at the sealed prerelease; my teammate opened snapcaster mage

he split for first, and in his prize packs; a snapcaster mage

we drafted 2/3 of our first box last night; he opens a snapcaster mage

then we decide to open the rest of the packs; my other teammate opens another snapcaster mage.

other than that, nothing spectacular; fairly on par with what we paid for the box... but if we had given out the packs in a different order, and he opened a 4th snapcaster himself, i would have hurt him haha.

one box, really bad. Mostly worthless rares, bad and few mythics. One pack saved the box, it had a foil Geist, Garruk and a Past in Flames.

edit: On both prereleases I played as well as in the one draft I did so far, I opened Garruk each time

As I posted in the PFS, opened my Russian box of Innistrad, pretty underwhelming. At least I pulled a Garruk on the last pack.

No Liliana, just 4 Mythics total (Essence of Wild, Geist of Saint Traft, Grimoire of the Dead, and Garruk) multiples of junk rares. Not even a single Ghost Quarter haha. I did pull 5 of the Enemy duals.

I got

Liliana of the Veil
3 of the duals
Geist of Saitn Traft
3 Ghost quater

I'm very happy cause the box only cost me $86.00 I think I'm going to try and sell what I pulled to grab another box.

opened 12.

Overall, very average, 8 SFM, 7 of all the duals.

4 Garruk, 2 Liliana. Could definitely be worse.

I've seen two boxes that had a Garruk and Liliana in them. I've seen plenty of boxes with neither.

I opened 3 2/3 cases and ripped some good stuff.
foil liliana
foil garruk
2 foil snapcaster mage
I even got a foil mythic and 2 foil rares in one box and 3 foil rares in another.

The distribution was quite odd for mythics. I got regular mythics with three of the foil mythics.

Yesterday, somebody opened 1 foil liliana, 1 snapcaster and 1 garruk all in a single draft. The Foil Liliana and the regular Garruk was in the same pack so he drop out of the store drop in order to keep all 3 of them.
