Drafted 6 dragon maze packs in a sealed release tourney at my LGS. Got {tesya} {plasm capture} {beck and call} {flesh blood} {pontiff of blight} {renounce th guilds}. Of course my pool was evenly scattered between all colors so I ended up having to play 4 colors(all but red). I hate having to go 4 but had no choice. Match 1 {blood baron of vizkopa} killed me. Match two mulligan to 5 on first game( 1 land til turn 5) dead. Game 2 mulligan to 6 then when I drew 6 all lands and a cluestone. Game 3 bye. Yay I wasted 5 hours of my life haha. On a brighter note I did get two shock lands!

Idk, it really depends on your commons and I commons. I've played a rareless sealed deck multiple times

I did get two putrefy but never saw them, that 3/2 hex proof flyer never saw it, {unflinching courage}, but not soon enough .. Oh well the experience was nice

In my booster draft I pulled 4 shock lands one of which was foiled even though I lost horrible because my other pulls were crap I still got a lot of trade fodder

Yes shock lands are beauties in sealed because they are always an extra rare! Congrats on getting 4 of them!

Holy crap!  I have 3 friends that got boxes of DGM and none of them pulled a single shock!

3 boxes? Like 3x36 packs? No shocks? That's insane

We just figured that it was damn near impossible to pull them haha

And yeah, 3 boxes

Man I feel bad, guess maybe they don't want to flood the market too bad or they will drop in value drastically

The odds of pulling a Shock are about 75% lower than that of pulling a Shock in RTR and GTC. Don't quote me on that, but it is extremely low.

The last thing I heard was that 1 out of every 22 packs (on average) had a shock in it.  I don't remember where I saw that, though, so I don't know how credible it is.

Well, I pulled 2 shocks from a box. Ones I had from GTC already :|

So there's some info for the database.

You think that is bad? I opened 56 packs of RtR before I got my first shock from that set. I have opened 85 packs of Gatecrash and still have not opened a single shock.

Uhh I don't think your allowed shocks then ;) think of it as a handicap of sorts maybe?

Might as well just buy them @ 15$ a pop lol
