Title: Lucky pulls
Post by: Karrthus on January 02, 2012, 05:14:52 AM
What's the luckiest pulls you've had.           Mine would be I went to walmart and got my brother to pick me a pack. It had {Jace the Mindsculpter}. 2 weeks later my wife picked a pack and I got another. Those were the only 2 packs I bought those 2 weeks.

I bought the Spectral Legions intro pack, a basic UW spirit deck, and the included booster had Geist of Saint Traft. How appropriate.

I got a {Snapcaster Mage} and a foil {Geist of saint Traft} in one pack......$40 bucks in cards in a $4 pack.......too bad it is not always that way.

Best pack I got was triple rare with {Wolfbitten Captive} as my flip, {Feed the Pack}?? (I'm pretty sure) as my rare and a shiny {Gravecrawler} which I later traded for a {Doran, the Seige Tower}, and a bunch of other EDH stuff.

Picked up a fat pack and got some nice rares. {seance} {curse of echoes} {counterlash} {havengul runebinder} {increasing vengeance} 2x {requiem angel} {increasing savagery} {wolfbitten captive} {ghoultree} {fiend of the shadows}. Not to bad but I wanted a sorin. O well maybe next time.
Title: Re: Lucky pulls
Post by: Alysha on February 12, 2012, 04:23:02 PM
I picked up 5 boosters when I only indended to give 4 as apart of a Christmas gift -- there was a deal and I lack willpower--. The pack that I kept for myself had a {Sword of Feast and Famine}. The other packs had nothing fantastic. XP
Title: Re: Lucky pulls
Post by: Cllzzrd on February 12, 2012, 06:34:21 PM
Soo... I have pulled a {vorapede}, {Mikaeus the Unhallowed}, {Havengul Lich} and a {Sorin, Lord of innestead}, and then opened a {Massacre Wurm} and another new Sorin when I got second in FNM 2 days later.
Title: Re: Lucky pulls

🎉After opening my two DKA booster Boxes, I got two or more of each Mythic, 4 or more each Captain, at least one of each DFC and 3 {Tomb of the Archangel}s. Yep, the most satisfied with a booster box since Shadowmoor!

Hello there everyone, this just in. I went to target, i bought the last booster pack of Dka they had. My friend grabbed a New Pherxia fat pack. In my pack i pulled
{huntmaster of the fells} and a foil {mikeaus the unholy} the best pack ever. I was amazed. Btw my buddy got nothing great at all, he was hoping for a {sword of war and peace}. Hows that for lucky.
Title: Re: Lucky pulls

Just traded the huntmaster for a snapcaster.... Yay
Title: Re: Lucky pulls
Post by: BlakgItarXX on February 18, 2012, 10:30:56 AM
Luckiest pull? I'd have to say my recent pull of Drogskol Reaver, a foil Markov Warlord, and a Foil Sorin, Lord of Innistrad from a fat pack. Plus various other cards for my B/R Vamps.
Title: Re: Lucky pulls
Post by: Chewbacca4213 on February 19, 2012, 12:14:36 AM
It would be either the one pack of m12 i bought on a family roadtrip that had {gideon jura} in it (only pack of m12 ive bought), or the time i got 2 fat packs of innistrad, then on a whim got two boosters, one innistrad one m11 (meant to grab m12 :) ), the fat packs had nothing of significance, but the m11 had a {platinum angel}, and the innistrad had {garruk relentless} and {mikaeus, the lunarch}.
Title: Re: Lucky pulls
Post by: Validan on February 19, 2012, 10:15:28 PM

So, I just picked up three booster packs while at the mall: M12, Innistrad, & Dark Ascention. BAM! {Geist of Saint Traft}!  Yeehaw!🐎
Title: Re: Lucky pulls
Post by: Coffee Vampire on February 26, 2012, 11:51:08 PM
Hah nice. One of my friends got another friend into magic. The new guy's first pack was a dka red intro. It came with a booster in the back and he got a Trafty also. And guess who immediatly traded him a bazillion worthless cards for it? The friend who got him into magic haha. So I guess it counts as his lucky pull.

All of my DKA boosters have garnered me those worthless enchantments.  I am done buying DKA boosters, there is more value in Innistrad IMO.  Plus I bought the common/uncommon playset of DKA so all the cards in DKA boosters are useless unless I pull a good mythic, rare, or foil.

Its sounds bad, but maybe for a beginner it's better to have a bazillion cards to make decks with than one big mythic that doesn't fit the one precon you own.

I found a triple booster pack at walmart with a "bonus promo" card. The bonus promo is a random foil, in this case a fungus sliver, and inside I got a {thopter assembly}(currently of personal interest to me) and a M12 {Gideon Jura}, plus a foil {Gladecover Scout}(I fanboy for foils). I was pretty happy. And today I pulled a {Jace, Memory Adept}. Two planeswalkers in one week? At random? Yes please.

I have gotten some pretty "crazy" pulls, {havengul lich}, and {huntmaster of the fells}, in the same pack. Or {garruk relentless}, and {champion of the parish}
Title: Re: Lucky pulls
Post by: Johng4490 on March 13, 2012, 10:28:49 PM
Probably my most unlikely was a triple rare. One pack with a foil {moldgraf Monstrosity}, and a rare inmost rad land, (can't remember which..), and an {Evil Twin}.

Last Friday at FNM I bought a single booster pack, well, my girlfriend did, she owed me one because of a bet, but nvm about that. I'm a superstitious card buyer, and after examining the top three packs, (DKA) I chose the center one with Sorin. My girlfriend said I chose wrong, it was the left one with the Werewolf. Well, reluctant to say, I opened up a {Thraben Doomsayer} and a Foil {Gravecrawler}!!! Yeah boy! I was playing MB Zombies that night too 

My first box of DKA had 1 {huntmaster of the fells} and 1 foil
1 {Sorin lord of inniatrad}
And 4 other mythic rare

I traded some for a playset of {huntmaster} then I might trade my { playset} since werewolf isn't that great

Post by: Willthomjr on May 02, 2012, 12:40:43 PM
Some of these scenarios are just buyin packs and opening good cards. How does this make them lucky pulls?

1st draft I ever went to was legion back in the onslaught block. 1st pack, {Akroma, Angel of Wrath}
