Specifically, a box that was in Standard at the time.
I just opened a pretty good one. Got 1x Foil Polluted Delta , 1x Windswept Heath , 1x Bloodstained Mire , 1x Wooded Foothills , 1x Flooded Strand and 1x Sorin, Solemn Visitor .
(on top of a few 10 dollar rares.)
I was curious as to what was the best box of Standard that you guys have ever pulled?

My friend called me up one time to tell me that a hobby store had packs of Onslaught that had three rares in each. He couldn't buy any more, so my brother and I went down and bought the remainder, something like 20 boosters. We pulled everything we wanted to and more that day.

my best box was a box of future sight. I didnt think much of it at the time but Ive come to realize it was the best box Ive opened to date. 2 Tarmogoyf 2 Pact of Negation 6 Aven Mindcensor 3 Bridge from Below 3 Daybreak Coronet 2 Glittering Wish 3 Grove of the Burnwillows Foil Graven Cairns 2 Horizon Canopy Nimbus Maze 2 Sliver Legion and a Venser, Shaper Savant . There was also several other great utility cards like Rites of Flourishing and Molten Disaster . Great part was I quit just after buying that box and stored my binders til just earlier this year. Needless to say I've been having a blast all summer.

not a box, but a fat pack of rise of the eldrazi pulled my friend pulled foil Emrakul, the Aeons Torn and regular Kozilek, Butcher of Truth (actually they were in the same pack in the pack, but regardless)

Holy shit PreZchoICE1 thats rediculous, some pretty good pulls there.
Out of a fat pack I once got 2x Domri Rade , 1x Stomping Ground , and a foil Breeding Pool , thought that was pretty damn good. Ive pulled a crazy amount of breeding pools.

yeah the pulls look great now but at the time the only thing I was really excited about were the Legions/Goyfs and the land pulls. At the time I was building a green/red aggro zoo for standard so the goyfs and groves were exciting to pull. I have to say though I was excited because goyf looked like a good guy to have in the maindeck, not because he was 200 bucks. That excitement came when I dusted off my binders.

During Theros, I opened my first box ever and it had Foil Elspeth, Sun's Champion
and Foil Stormbreath Dragon
. Plus a usual amount of other good rares: Thoughtseize, Hero's Downfall, Polukranos etc.

At PTQ this weekend a friend split a box on a side event and pulled foil wooded foothills, regular delta 2 flooded strands, 2 Sarkhans, a rattleclaw, 2 mantis riders, and a wingmate roc. The other bloke got basically nothing. I felt bad for him.

I opened the all-time sickest booster box of Japanese Khans of Tarkir just yesterday. Here's what I pulled:
1x Polluted Delta
1x Flooded Strand
1x Wooded Foothills
1x Bloodstained Mire
1x Windswept Heath
1x Sarkhan, the Dragonspeaker
1x Clever Impersonator - Foil
1x Monastery Swiftspear - Foil
1x Treasure Cruise - Foil
1x Siege Rhino1x Ashcloud Phoenix
Also emblems for both Sarkhan and Sorin, one each (barely worth anything but nice nontheless). Plus of course a bunch of not so exciting but still playable cards like Utter End or End Hostilities, Hooded Hydra bunch of charms and tri-lands, etc.

Gatecrash, I opened a foil Godless Shrine , a normal one, three other shocks, Gideon, Champion of Justice when he was still expensive. There were some other ten rares in there too and I made my money back on it
