I was at my LGS and we were playing a commander/EDH tourney. I got knocked out of the game so I went up front to get a pop. I forgot I didn't have cash, so I bought a pack of Theros so I could put it on my card. Open the pack, Thoughtseize! Awesome! Oh wait, there's a foil in back! Elspeth, Sun's Champion. That made my November.


This is the best pack opening, not the best can of pop opening. lol

Nice pull!

Cool thread idea!

On 20th anniversary day where everybody got 1 free pack of M14 my free pack had a foil Chandra. Pretty good but I got a better one!

In 95 I bought 3 packs of unlimited for $40ea and 1 of them contained 3 uncommons and 12 rares instead of 3 uncommons 1 rare and 11 commons. 3 of those rares were a Lotus a Pearl, and a Chaos Orb. One of the uncommons was Berserk! Pretty sure this contends for best booster pack in the history of the game!

The "every common was a rare" thing was not all that uncommon back then. We had a friend who had only been playing the game for a week in 1994 and decided he really liked it so he bought a box of 3rd edition Revised. (Back then it was pretty rare that somebody would actually buy a full box). Lucky for him he had 3 witnesses to the best "opening" story I know. Every common slot in every pack was a rare instead. 432 rares. He had almost a complete set of dual lands, and for some reason 13 Royal Assassins. We used to joke how he had 3 playsets of Assassins but zero Dark Rituals.

That's what I'm saying. Looks like he will be posting one anyway so we'll see how it plays out. I'm comfortable with how I have handled this so I doubt anything will come of it. Just a waste of everybody's time if you ask me.

I had about 9 packages returned to me because I packed them too thick for the postage I used. (They were BARELY over the thickness limit due to using the new team-pack toploaders.)   I updated all the traders what had happened and most were understanding but a couple are saying they are opening BTRs against me. It has only been 4 business days since I resent them and I reminded them of this as well as the fact that I have remained in communication.

It seems many people are filing BTRs lately when there is really no need but I digress.

My question is, does the 2 weeks before filing a BTR apply only to the original send date, or is a resend date if they were returned taken into account? Also, does the fact that I have been in constant communication factor in or is it irrelevant?
