The title says it all, what do you do to ensure you have a good pack? Like today at my LGS I sniffed 8 m12 packs and I was looked at really weird until I opened a {glacial fortress} and a foil {sun Titan}. Also with gatecrash I will ONLY buy a pack with {skaarg guildmage} on it.

I always pick from the bottom
I pick the first pack I see on top, always. It's worked in my favor so far.

Really? With Dark Ascesion that idea always screwed me over... I had to go middle of the stack
I always pick from middle
I just go with my gut. No crazy ritual
I go with the opposite of my gut, because my gut always makes the wrong choice

Lol
At my LGS they hand you the pack. It ain't on no shelf.
I always take the packs no one wants.
I look at who is on the package. If I need a "specific" color/card then I'll go with one that matches what I'm looking for.
Sometimes I'll pick a few packs and give them a little bend and the one that feels thicker is the one that I'll buy.
Buy the whole booster box.
Someone I know box maps. So irritating.
I generally take the first couple packs off of each row, grab the ones below them, and put the others back. I don't think it's ever worked for me :P
I juggle them in the air, all 36 of them. And then light them on fire. Whichever pack doesn't burn up is the one I choose. 😜

Same here. All cards are behind glass or the counter. Even though I live in one of the safest, peaceful places in the state.
At the place I buy cards, the guy opens the box and shuffles all the packs then let's u pick, so no crazy pack picking here

Be careful when doing this. I've seen a few people try this and I guarantee you will get some crap packs.
I let my GF pick - she always ends up with mythics
