Worst box ever

Ok, at my local store i traded some cards to buy a box and me and a friend rolled a die, to see what box i would get of Scars or New Phyrexia, odds were rolled and NP box won, i thought ok cool maybe a sword, NOPE!! In the first 5 packs we hit 2 Mythics Batterskull and Etched Monstrosity (he shouldnt even count) later we keep opening packs and hit a foil chanceller booo... after that pack another foil rare... i was like ok i guess, than i opened a karn cool ok, but that was it no more mythics. i was like 3 mythics?? my rares are worth more than that as 2x surgical, pod, lash, meta, and a playset of tezz gambit with no missteps or dismembers.
i was pissed i said fuck this and bought another box not caring what i got, second pack in jin, hmm.. ok 3rd pack batterskull WOW! i though, we keep opening great rares too, bladesplicers, sugicals, spellskite, pod, but when five packs were left no mythics had shown after the 2, i was getting mad again my friend stopped taking from the right side of the box where 1 pack was left i grabbed it and saw the rare was an artifact, yup Sword of War and Peace, i opened another hit garbage, and than were 2 packs left, me and bud went card for card, me getting a gutshot and shrine, him a dismember a misstep as we moved the misstep to the misstep pile we saw the forth mythic, Sword of War and Peace, my rare was trash but 2x WAP in one box was all i cared about.
after i traded the rares i didnt want to the store for 3 packs, another guy had just bought 4 packs and no mythic or any good rare, so the skype master came in and took the next 3 after him, the first pack spellskite yeah a good card, next i went to grab a pack and my friend took one and said, "i feel good on this one jonny", he opened it and foil vapor snag, SWEET! he went through the pack and Elesh Norn appeared my store owner was like wtf, the 3rd pack had a melira but idc i was happy now that 1 shit box made me get what i would call a great or even awesome box and 40ish rares of $.10-.75 rares made me $34 of value.

lol at funkalunk. We opened a box of Innistrad at our store the other night playing pack poker, and out of the entire bo, the mythics were a and a foil Kessig Wolf Run and only THREE dual lands, but other than that there was nothing of value. So it can be worse, trust me.

Well it was the worst box of my life i have never had less than a 5 mythic box and the 5 mythic box i had came with 3 foil rares so only seeing 4 mythics and the worst mythic ever made with no missteps or dismembers made that box beyond horrible no matter what i really pulled of 2x surgical, 4x gambit, 2x burning rage, 3x gale, 2x gutshot, 2x beast, and with foil rares of chancellor and moltensteel made me think this was the low of the low.
I only added the next little bit after to show how some bad things in life when everything goes to hell after trading $70 of great cards to get a shitty box can be good if you just dont care and go for it. :)

even though that box wasnt the best, atleast it was New Phyrexia which in my opinion is probably the best set out there, next to Innistrad. Thank god that die roll didnt make you buy a box of scars, phew.

Last box I bought was a Dark Ascension. I opened a playset of Grafdigger's Cage (one was foil) and about 5-6 Mythics (one was Sorin, Lord of Innistrad) and most of the rares were good. My buddy also opened a box and got 1 Mythic in the whole thing, so I guess my open-fu is just strong.
Sometimes you got the luck sometimes you don't :D

Just bought my first box of New Phyrexia today (a Jap box). Pulled 4 Sword of War and Peace, one of which is foil! Also pulled a Batterskull, Jin-Gitaxias, Core Augur, Blade Splicer, Birthing Pod and Spellskite. Gotta say, I did really well for my first box ever :P

My box was worse, got just two mythics in my box of Avacyn Restored. There's a 9% chance of that happening...
