So I picked up a few of these things from wal mart. They are a land+token pack, 3 random decks (I assume old intro pack decks or theme decks) and a sealed booster from an ancient set. I plan to keep one and gift the other 2 to friends, but can't decide wether to keep the one with the invasion pack and a foil {Victory's Herald} visible, or the one with a scourge pack and a foil {Phyrexian Hydra} visible.

Thoughts?

Both foils aren't too good, but go with the pack from whichever set you liked better

I wasn't around for either of them is the thing. Of the foils, Victory's herald is at least a fun EDH creature. But I'd probably rather have the scourge pack than invasion based on the rares in the database.

Would pick up Victory's Herald due to the fact that I am probably not going to build another casual infect deck soon.

I picked one of these up and it had the ajani side of the ajani v bolas duel deck. Minus ajani of course. It also had the  {The Mimeoplasm} edh deck and the  {Riku of Two Reflections} edh deck. Hella worth it lol

Wow thts cool. Target has something like that where it is 4 random decks for 30. I was able to get the Angels vs demons and goblins vs elves, both sides of each in two boxes. The other decks were ehhh but I figured that who can resist those duel decks.

Sadly no commander sets in there. Upon closer inspection, it appears the one that contains the Victory's Herald intro deck from besieged also contains the {Moltensteel Dragon} intro deck from new phyrexia. And, the third deck, based on the saproling token's set symbol, is coalition side of the Phyrexia vs the Coalition duel deck. Most likely without the foil {Urza's Rage}.

The one with the hydra miroddin besieged intro deck also has the Phyrexian half of the duel deck, likely minus the Phyrexian foil. It also has an unidentifyable pack, with an {overgrown battlement} in front, Rise of Eldrazi set symbol. Maybe an eldrazi intro deck with the foil removed?

I think I'm going with the Herald/Coalition. There's a few commander goodies in there I want... It hurts to pass on the {lightning greaves} in the phyrexia deck though :P

Let me know if it was worth the money, I've been considering picking one up but a get this feeling that it's an epic rip off

Some of them are an epic ripoff đŸ˜”there was one that had 3 packs of land from fat packs... Lorwyn, shadowmoor and some other land...


It would have been worth it if they were zendikar lands.

Moneekahh

See, selling a bunch of land for $30 is so wrong. I'll stick to buying fat packs if I need to get an mtg fix while at target.

{Coalition Relic} is the best for EDH.
