There's a good chance you could get your value back there. Even if you sell off the packs

The chance for a foil *insert value here* could push me towards the box

It's a bad feeling hoping for a foil to cover the box.

I got about $300 in one and a foil goyf in another... I honestly think the "bad" boxes aren't as common. Out of the 6 boxes in my playgroup (including mine) only one friend was somewhat disappointed because he didn't have to many splashy rares/mythics but he still made up for the box in value

If you look at values now tho, you basically have to either get a goyf or a foil value mythic for the box to break even. Lots of the cards that were $30-40 are now $15-20 and there are very few valuable uncommons, unlike in mm1. It's just harder to value up I think.

Last time I looked there was one on Amazon for 209 free shipping no tax. That's a good deal. Box before last was very disappointing....next one well made up for that one! Mox opal, splinter twin, ulamog, karn and a few other goods....oh yeah, and a foil tarm 😎

My box I bought I got two comet storms for mythics and the worst rates imaginable. I probably got about 40 dollars worth in mine. Probably won't buy any more modern masters boxes ever.

Having that much bad luck twice would be against the odds. But then again...

I always try to justify that to myself too. "I can't be this lucky for every box" then sure enough....

My friend got the box. HA HA he didn't pull sh*t. Most value in the box was a foil {Fulminator Mage}. His Mythics were Kiki-Jiki & Comet Storm

Yeah that's not a good one. Yeah you might get foil  {Arcbound Ravager} Or  {Skullclamp} But you won't make your money back
