At Nationals and Regionals that I've been to, sleeves were mandatory anyways.

Hopefully there were some sleeves available for purchase at those tournaments then.

RTSManiac brought up a great point. At nationals think of the cards that will be passed with this new set. Imagine opening up a pack and seeing 2 new cards, and 2 UR's! What are you gonna take?

I bet the top booster draft decks will not have any of the new foil cards in them!

Red Dragon Thorn · « **Reply #153 on:** May 31, 2009, 11:04:47 PM »

I bet its multi-player and in multi player anything can happen.

yea, being a collector I would not like drafting with the new packs... not because it wouldn't be fun, but because if I open a pack with 2 foils and 7 rares/ultra rares, how the heck do I choose between those? Especially if by some chance I happened to get the pack with a DoN, GoYS, Wall, etc... How would you even choose between those?

Gabe · « **Reply #158 on:** June 01, 2009, 08:40:00 AM »

True. But if the guy next to you opens them he's guaranteed to pass you something sweet!

Red Dragon Thorn · « **Reply #159 on:** June 01, 2009, 08:47:44 AM »

The way I figure it the first two cards gone from every pack will be the two foils, only because some of the cards really do have epic abilities, then becuase its a four player table only one UR will be gone from your pack by the time it gets back around to you.

But they're shiny, so they are automatically ultra-rare!

Based on experimental probability over the past few years, my opponent will have the URs, so this should happen frequently. My TeP packs will of course have no URs, so pity the dude next to me.

i am going together w/ 3 friends 2 get 2 boxes probably...

Ironica · « **Reply #164 on:** June 01, 2009, 07:18:38 PM »

In all honesty, if I pull a DON, I will take that before any of the new cards. With comparing any other UR to taking a new card, I would just have to think of my four decks and figure out which card would help them the most.

Tsavong Lah · « **Reply #165 on:** June 01, 2009, 10:29:12 PM »

I'd pull a GoYS over a DoN. Destructions seem a bit easier to get than Guardians, for some reason.

TheMarti · « **Reply #166 on:** June 01, 2009, 10:29:56 PM »

See, I've never pulled a DoN out of a pack, but I've pulled 2 GoYS. *shrug* idk.

lightningninja · « **Reply #167 on:** June 01, 2009, 11:04:39 PM »

I've pulled 3 GOYS and only 1 DON. Probably cause I've pulled apostles packs over destruction at least 3 to 1.

Ironica · « **Reply #168 on:** June 01, 2009, 11:39:27 PM »

I have opened so many patriarch packs that I probably do have multiples of all common/uncommon/rares and one of every UR and I've seen only one DON. Also, I prefer FA over GOYS (too bad that won't be in there

).

Sorry to burst your bubble boys, but do not expect every pack to be gold borders. This is from the cactus site.

Each card pack (actually a thin box) will contain two (2) of the new Thesaurus cards and thirteen (13) cards from the Warriors, Prophets, Apostles and Patriarchs sets. The approximate card mix will be:

2 Thesaurus foiled cards

4 to 5 Apostles (all rare/ultra rare)

4 to 5 Patriarchs (rare/ultra rare or uncommon)

1 Warriors (common, uncommon or rare/ultra rare)

3 Prophets (common, uncommon or rare

Just don't want everyone to say, yeah were getting all rares/ultras because they are including commons/uncommons. Either way they will be good packs.

Tsavong Lah · « **Reply #170 on:** June 02, 2009, 01:01:08 AM »

Notice, though, that there are four Apostles rares (or higher) in every pack. From what I know of the rare to ultra-rare ratio, that means there should be one Apostles UR in almost every pack.

TheMarti · « **Reply #171 on:** June 02, 2009, 01:36:14 AM »

I'm quite excited for the potential of getting random stuff here... very much so

Apostles had 16 Ultra Rares and 74 rares (37 different rares appearing twice) on the print sheet. Which would suggest 1 Ultra rare for every 5.5 cards which is slightly less than one per pack.

It might be hard deciding in booster draft between the Apostles Ultra Rare and the new card if the Ultra Rare is Guardian or Wall, but if the Ultra Rare is Casting Lots or Angry Mob I imagine it will be a much easier decision.

Guardian is useless in Booster Draft though...

All I know is that you're gonna be almost guaranteed to place in multi...
