Theros pulls
Economics forum

So I had a birthday party today and went out and bought 10 packs of Theros. Notable pulls are Heliod, God of the Sun , Purphoros, God of the Forge , Hero's Downfall , Temple of Triumph , and Temple of Silence . Did I make a good return on the cards? I also spent an additional $21 on singles to complete some decks.

Because people who pull crap like 3x Meletis Charlatan don't tell it to everyone, at least i don't XD

Pretty good pulls. If you are willing to trade any of those pulls I would really like to trade for Temple of Triumph , Hero's Downfall , and Heliod, God of the Sun . Heliod would be low priority, but if I have enough you want I am game for it.
Check out my binder and also let me know if you need anything I didn't list yet. I am working on it.

My friend, who has never played in a tournament before and has only played the game about 5 time, got last place. The store gave him a prize anyway, and he pulled a Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx as his rare. He also pulled a foil Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver . Good for him.

That's crazy! The kid opening his box across from me last night before FNM pulled Thoughtseize and foil Purphoros, God of the Forge in the same pack!

at the draft last friday, the guy gave us the box and said take 3 packs... we were joking and talking about how some were heavier then others. anyways, somebody pulled F Stormbreath Dragon and Hammer of Purphoros , sorry for him, he couldn't use either of those (sucker). i pulled a Thoughtseize but i couldn't use it.

I remember at the pre-release, somebody pulled 3 Thoughtseize . Wow. Me and the guy across from me (both playing red) pulled a total of 7 Ember Swallower

Well I went to my LGS and traded in some cards, and only paid 45 dollars for a box. Pulled: Elspeth, Sun's Champion , Stormbreath Dragon , Purphoros, God of the Forge , Underworld Cerberus , Temple of Silence , Temple of Deceit , Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx , Sylvan Caryatid , Ashen Rider , and Anger of the Gods just to name the good ones. Probably the best box I've every gotten.

@ShadowLand i as joking, i only pulled 2 Meletis Charlatan ... In my pre-release pool....... But in 12 packs i bought, only Erebos, God of the Dead and Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx were notable value. Hopefully, my box will be better when i'll receive it this week.
But honnestly, even if good cards seems to drop alot... I remember in dragon maze voices seemed to be easy to open, but again when you open 3 box without a voice you won't tell everyone you wasted 300$....

That's a very good point. I mean I opened 3 voices myself and traded for many others, but I'm also not going to brag how many packs I cracked to get there. In my theros box I got some seriously awesome pulls, but the amount of stuff that is... not good... was of a higher ratio. So we generally don't discuss that unless it's mythic bad. (one time I cracked 13 packs of gatecrash and my most expensive card was borborygmos. That's bad enough to brag about.)

Pulled Thoughtsieze, and Stormbreath Dragon in a fat pack. I got some other interesting stuff, but basically two 25 dollar cards for a 40 dollar box. Got my money back at least.

I've opened only 3 packs of theros and pulled a Purphoros, God of the Forge Anger of the Gods and a Curse of the Swine . One of my friends pulled a Thoughtseize and another also pulled a Purphoros, God of the Forge . We've had some pretty good luck too since we rushed to our local Barnes and Nobles to get the loose packs lol.

10 packs = $40, purphoros is $28, Heliod is $12, Heros Downfall is $3 and each temple is $5 so a return of $53 right there. So yeah, not bad.
One thing I am seeming to notice, a ton of people are pulling those exact temples. And purphoros is getting pulled a lot as well.
