I would be, but not at that price unfortunately.

There's not really any point in doing so if you know people are going to just buy them and be able to re-sell the money cards at a (possible) profit. I guess the normal money carsd would go down a little bit in price, but they'd have to be below the MSRP...

jar of eyeballs can be pretty good in limited if both players have fairly slow running decks. Being able to draw many cards with it makes it very worth while. At the same time, I've also drafted it and had a ton of other 3 drops so I cut it. It really takes the right deck to even consider playing it.

I'm sure that's partly due to the "selling for a friend" aspect of the collection. Any time I've sold cards for people, they have had very unrealistic expectations about what they would bring in. I usually need to put up the shoot the moon price before I can convince them to come down.

Probably due to rules infractions, not bad trading practices.

I suppose if you don't have much of a collection and need something to play at FNM it's not all that bad. It just seems ridiculously overpriced paying top dollar for each individual card when buying a pre-con.

No, you want stores to sell them to you at their cost. MSRP on these decks is 25.00 each, 50.00 for the pair. It is so sad that people always expect something for nothing.

Also, LOL Grafdigger's cage is only $6 at SCG.

worse then I thought. Recent draft we had MANY packs with multiples of the same common. One pack had 3x cards duplicated and I was told afterward that one card was 3x but someone drafted a copy. That is pretty bad. Makes drafting really awkward too.

What is the approximate number of Mythics in a box? My DA box had 5. Two foil rares and a decent variation of cards in the UC/C slots with the exception of a fairly high number of Loyal Cathar/Unhallowed Cathar which showed up a lot more often than any of the other common flip cards.

I'm not complaining. It was a good box and I got most of what I was after for my EDH zombie tribal.

Here's the box:

Mythics:
Beguiler of Wills
Havengul Lich
Huntmaster of the Fells/Ravager of the Fells
Sorin, Lord of Innistrad
Vorapede

Rares:
Geralf's Mindcrusher
Gravecrawler
Vault of the Archangel
Thalia, Guardian of Thraben
Increasing Ambition
Grim Backwoods
Grafdigger's Cage
Jar of Eyeballs
2x Curse of Echoes
Seance
Hellrider
Increasing Vengeance
2x Increasing Confusion
Increasing Devotion
Feed the Pack
Lost in the Woods
Flayer of the Hatebound
Increasing Savagery
Curse of Misfortunes
Fiend of the Shadows
Markov Blademaster
Call to the Kindred
Alpha Brawl
Curse of Bloodletting
Deranged Outcast
Ghoultree
Sudden Disappearance
Thraben Doomsayer
Counterlash

Foil Rares:
Havengul Runebinder (foil)
Flayer of the Hatebound (foil)

Rare Flip Cards:
Mondronen Shamen/Tolovar's Magehunter
Ravenous Demon/Archdemon of Greed
Wolfbitten Captive/Krallenhorde Killer

The distribution of mythics is supposed to be 1 out of 8. This averages out to 4.5 mythics per box, so 4 or 5 mythics would be considered average. The flip cards are independent of the regular collation and give you a small extra chance at a mythic.

In the past there has been only slight differences in coloring of the cards. If you mixed one event deck card into a play set of pack pulled cards, it would easily stand out. If you have a play set of event deck cards, its likely no one would notice the difference.

I feel that way every time I see Arch/Planec/DuelD cards.
