Never Happened To Me Before

So, tonight after I got done playing a draft I decided to buy some Theros booster packs, because I love Theros, and the first pack I opened was this:
Curse of the Swine and a Curse of the Swine
. Tonight was a pretty good night! 
Have you guys opened any packs to find something like this?
I had a double Monomania a few years ago. The foil is still one of my favorite unplayables ever.

Overgrown tomb and foil overgrown tomb in a single pack. So good.

Nice pull! I wish I knew you to trade for those, my Curse of the swine collection just broke 200.

ChiefBell Sick!
I watched someone open Sphinx's Revelation and Sphinx's Revelation in the same pack while it was still $30 ;)

I saw a store owner open two packs of Journey into Nyx back to back, and he got the regular rare+foil rare of Prophetic Flamespeaker and Keranos, God of Storms. It was pretty nutty.

Impressive pulls. My only question: why do you like Theros?

This has happened to me twice, once at the DTK Prerelese where I got 2 freaking Monastery Sieges, then once while opening the only box of modern masters that I have opened pulling 2 AEther Vials.
April 18, 2015 9:27 a.m.
Sigh... I saw someone pull a thoughtseize and a foil thoughtseize at my Theros pre-release.

Keranos and a foil scry land in my first JOU pack. Back when the scry lands meant something.

I got a Jeskai Ascendancy and a Jeskai Ascendancy in the same pack. In fact, I got a playset of the Ascendancy plus the foil one just from packs.

My first 2 packs of Fate were Ugin, the Spirit Dragons.

Double Roast before. That's really it, but my brother once pulled 2 Voice of Resurgences in as many packs before. When they were $50 a pop. I was not happy.

I've seen a friend pull double Progenitor Mimic but I haven't gotten the doubles, that I remember. Best pack tho, Deathrite Shaman and Abrupt Decay
April 18, 2015 11:33 a.m.
I opened three packs a few weeks back and all my rares were all Monastery Sieges. Less than pleased.

I hosted a draft of zendikar a few months ago with some friends
Pack 1 was Misty Rainforest and a Scalding Tarn I asked my friends they said I could double pick and replace it with a common

Opened Silumgar Assassin and foil Silumgar Assassin in the same pack after the DtK prerelease. The disappointment was real.

It has happened to me twice. Once with double Huntmaster of the Fells Flip, and the other with Deathrite Shaman. My luck is always very feast or famine. I get insane pulls, or nothing.
April 18, 2015 12:05 p.m.
on another note, I pulled 2 Avacyn, Angel of Hope in the same Fat Pack along with Gisela, Blade of Goldnight
I had some luck with the Innistrad Block...

vault theros does actually have some awesome cards, people hate it but it has flavor, casual appeal and competitive appeal. It has the gods, elspeth, Thoughtseize, Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx, and Stormbreath Dragon. Those 3 see some non-standard play (Thoughtseize being the most lol) and they're standard stars.
This doesn't count, but in draft I didn't get past any Duresses? the second round and got 3 the third, 2 in a row

vault, I'm not exactly sure why, but Theros appeals to me a lot. I enjoy many of the cards in the set and how they're played. On top of Theros being the first set that I started to learn how to play limited. Also, when Theros was being released I followed the lore and storyline quite closely.

GoldGhost012 says... #28
I like Theros a bit because its lore is great and its Limited was a lot of fun when I played it. But most of its cards were lackluster compared to other blocks.

Yeah, a guy at my place pulled a normal and foil Polluted Delta in the same pack directly after the Khans release (they were $20 apiece at the time). Ugh, so much VALUEEEEEE.

I pulled a Polluted Delta out of a fatpack right after Khans release. Dude offered $150 of trades for it, at that point TCGplayer priced it at $100, and I was a very happy person.

My brother got a god pack right when jou was released...
April 18, 2015 2:18 p.m.
Wow, apparently this happens more often than I realized. I like the two Avacyn, Angel of Hope in one fat pack story. I would have totally freaked out. Haha
April 18, 2015 4:56 p.m.
Trust me. I did. My buddy was working. We drove thru the drive thru. I was holding one. The other I pulled up out of the box. Needless to say, he gave me two middle fingers he was saving and a long drawn out F**k youuuuuuuuuuuuuu. It was a good day.

I haven't gotten a pack quite like that yet, but I have bizarrely good luck with Theros in general. Other sets? Move along, nothing to see here. Theros? That pack is going to have a god, or a Thoughtseize, or a foil rare, or a planeswalker.
It's a superpower or something.

VictorSilvertome says... #36
Yeah, it's kinda weird. I'm with ComradeJim270. Lastnight, I bought 3 more and got: Labyrinth Champion, Xenagos, the Reveler, Anger of the Gods, and Hythonia the Cruel. 2 Mythics and a foil rare? Cray cray
Goody says... #2
I might've, but it wasn't anything too good, just junk rares probably. I did pull Atarka, Atarka's Command, and Secure the Wastes in 3 of 6 prize packs I won tonight, in that order
