Noes!

Now Prophets may sell outbefore AW packs. I have opened a bunch of the regular packs and they kinda stink.

What the heck is a super pack? I have been oblivious to something cool, all of the sudden.

BubbleBoy · « **Reply #5 on:** July 25, 2010, 02:25:27 PM »

I have never heard of these before...

sk · « **Reply #6 on:** July 25, 2010, 02:51:36 PM »

I think they had an extra rare or ultra-rare. Or maybe it was all rares. Eh, something crazy like that.

BubbleBoy · « **Reply #7 on:** July 25, 2010, 02:57:33 PM »

How much were they?

JSB23 · « **Reply #8 on:** July 25, 2010, 03:12:14 PM »

They had an extra rare and sold for four dollars

BubbleBoy · « **Reply #9 on:** July 25, 2010, 03:31:03 PM »

Have they done this with any other packs?

Also, why didn't I know about this?

No, because they're Angel Wars and no one cares about them

Captain Kirk · « **Reply #11 on:** July 25, 2010, 03:52:55 PM »

They sold for $3.50 and had an extra rare or ultra-rare. Due to having packs at nationals in 04 with only commons, they had a bunch of extra rares/ultra-rares lying around. So they used them to double up a number of packs.

Were they marked any differently than the regular ones? It must not be a coincidence that this coincides with my order!

crustpope · « **Reply #13 on:** July 26, 2010, 09:39:32 PM »

No they were not marked any different. But i have seen some wierd pulls from super packs. I once did a booster draft when someone pulled an Elijah National promo out of the pack.

I wonder does anyone still have them for sale?

How is this possible did they have other cards other than angel wars in them

well they obviously did since I have seen at least one state and one national promo in the mix.

sk · « **Reply #16 on:** July 26, 2010, 10:33:09 PM »

For a set, the Promos are printed as if they are cards for the expansion, and pulled out before placed into boxes/packs. I'm guessing they missed a few promos while assembling the boosters.

crustpope · « **Reply #17 on:** July 26, 2010, 10:48:10 PM »

Could be, the promos were Elijah and Bartemaeus. Both were pulled from the same back of AW packs in the same tournament at the same table. There was also a Mike pulled and I think the pack I had was blah. I was definitely the one that got jipped.

New Raven BR · « **Reply #18 on:** July 26, 2010, 10:52:29 PM »

not AW

New Raven BR · « **Reply #20 on:** July 27, 2010, 06:32:06 PM »

SomeKittens · « **Reply #21 on:** July 27, 2010, 06:38:51 PM »

There's approximately four bazillion left, so that won't happen anytime soon.
On another note, "Bazillion" is accepted by my spell checker.

I dont think anyone is saying AW is going to be retired. IN fact I suggested that we may run out of prophets packs before AW because the regular packs are kinda lame.

Most of us still aren't ready to print Angel Wars.
