So today I got my first booster pack of Theros and behold I pulled dun duna duhhh Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver I was super happy more so because my only deck at the moment is Dimir! So I don't think there is really anything I would have rather gotten. Not a bad first pack id say, if anyone can help me fit her in my deck it would be much appreciated Mill Monstrosity id hate to see him/her sit on the sidelines and not get any play that would be a shame... Especially since shes valuable

Nice, that takes more than a single pack though haha! I would have been happy with a Thoughtseize as well, but for my first booster ever. I am very satisfied.

lol yeah I bought a booster box, still doesn't beat getting 2 Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker s in one M13 box, with one being foil : )

Nice! Im excited because the odds of me pulling a Mythic from a single booster was very low to begin with but it turned out to be a planeswalker, and one I really wanted at that! The odds have to be super low haha

I think it actually may have been better used on a lotto ticket aha I have bad luck typically. SO I probably just used a lifetime of luck in that one booster pack.

I swear WotC finds ways to get mythics to newer players in abnormal amounts, just to get them hooked. All of my friends started playing magic with deckbuilder kits that had 2+ mythics in them . . . and then there's me with 6 years of experience pulling junk rares or (when I do get mythics) Maze's End .

The only super good pulls I've ever had were Cavern of Souls (twice somehow!) and a foil Savageborn Hydra . And I've opened quite a few booster packs.

WotC told me to play Boros Beatstick alongside Simic Control. I bought packs of Theros and got Purphoros and Heliod in consecutive packs, after already having a Simic deck.

@ Kravian sorry man! Just buy singles, thats typically what I do, but I broke down today and bought a booster lol. WORTH! Im not exactly "new" but I am not seasoned either lol, I started on M13. But I was semi taught from a buddy from whenever poison counters and the old slivers were new.

Best pull I've had in a single booster pack was Ajani, Caller of the Pride and a foil Sublime Archangel . Needless to say, I was pretty excited. Haven't bought any Theros yet, but I'm looking forward to doing so :)

Maybe you will pull a first pack epic win like I managed today. However, now I feel the need to buy more!!!! Thoughtseize ... I need it.

My first booster pack of Theros I pulled a Thassa, God of the Sea and a foil Master of Waves . You have no idea the kind of joy I got from that

Yeah very nice pull indeed. always nice to pull a mythic thats useful! I think the odds ive read are 1 out of 56 for mythic pull in a single booster

2 Stormbreath Dragon s in 5 packs. Tomes and trinkets of luck hath served the Wizard well

Finally had a chance to buy some packs - both Theros and a few others - and am pretty happy with the results. No mythics from Theros, but two Temple of Silence , a foil Temple of Abandon (Which was with one of the Silence's), and Thoughtseize . Only mythic I pulled wasn't from Theros, and that was Griselbrand . Overall, spent a decent amount, but between these and my other rares I pulled have $70 more than I spent. Pretty happy about that.

i did not get any mystics either and i got two FAT packs. guess i am unlucky

Vindemiatrixx says... #20
that would be my typical luck. However, I would have spent the extra 15 bucks or so to just buy a booster box instead, guaranteed mythic is nice to know, plus the way the boxes are made you get alot of goodies like guaranteed foil rare. I never go for fat packs

after that, i go to amazon for specific cards but right now i am stopped because i have no clue as to what to put in a black/white extort deck
October 2, 2013 7:54 p.m.
patrickloyd, that kind of discussion is best suited for the Deck Help forum. You also don't need to post every 3 minutes to get feedback. To be honest, not many Extort cards are out there to make building around Extort a solid idea. I'd go with a different focus with Extort on the side.

Get Obzedat, Ghost Council I would also recommend Desecration Demon just because he is a powerful 4 drop. Maybe something like Debt to the Deathless or High Priest of Penance not exactly the extort route but all great cards for a Orz deck

they had a sale on cards over the weekend that was buy one get one free. I picked up 10 packs for 20 bucks and got ashiok as well as TWO Garruk, Caller of Beasts I have to say it was probably the best day ever. that's like 50 bucks worth in 3 cards for only 20$ and I got other nice cards. I was really hoping for a Mutavault but my mono green deck was ramped in power.

Might be a weird question but are you Will B. from Westford Ma?

Obviously not the best card there is but I personally think Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver is the sickest card out of the Theros expansion.
Congrats! ...my cousin got a foil Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver ...not that card is a thing of beauty.

I'm trying to build a black and blue deck with Ashiok, Nightmare Weaver now. I have a Consuming Aberration that will work really well in it but I'm having a tough time deciding what theme I want for the deck. Definitely mill with ashiok but things like the Consuming Aberration don't get buffed from exiled cards. Also only have 1 Ashiok and I'm not going to be drawing it every game atm. We will see how my card inventory looks after Christmas!
From OH btw if that was directed at me /u/I,Vampire

At prerelease, my first pack was Elspeth, Sun's Champion . Then between rounds I bought an M14 booster on a whim and wouldn't you know it, foil Mutavault . So that was nice.

@BlazzedTroll I have a friend who just went off to college who only plays mill, and rarely buys booster packs. Sorry about that. Congrats on the pull!
December 11, 2013 6:33 a.m.
Pulled a Thoughtseize from my first booster. That was a small woop. Now for my from the vault legends box to arrive...
