The lucky booster pack.

Do you have a "Lucky booster pack art?" For example: "Chandra's my lucky booster face!", or if you're into Theros: "Elspeth all the way!", or "I like turtles."

They all work! (But try to avoid that last one.)

If you do have one of these "Lucky boosters", post who is your lucky character, and what luck it has brought you.

Mine is Jace. When I buy booster packs, I will always track down the one with Jace on it. He has only recently became my lucky guy, starting at the OTG prerelease where I cracked open a Oath of Gideon from it. A couple days ago he put a Mindwrack demon, Autumnal Gloom, and Sage of ancient lore into one of my boosters. Most of you are thinking "That's not super lucky", but if you had my booster pack luck, it would be awesome. Most of you out there are cracking out Foil Avacyns, but I normally am cracking the worst rares of the set. Also, Mindwrack demon is my first good mythic that I got from a pack.

That's all! Tell the community who you search for on the front of packs!

  • For me, it has always been Jace, a black planeswalker, or my favorite creature in my deck, if applicable. In all this I've pulled crazy stuff. In Jace boosters for SOI I pulled some really nice werewolves for my deck, and in an Ulamog's Despoiler cover, I pulled Ob Nixilis, which was AWESOME.
  • I pulled a Liliana, Heretical Healer AND a foil Battlefield Forge in a Chandra Origins Pack, so that would be one of mine... Also I got a foil Jace, Unraveller of Secrets in an Arlinn SOI pack.
  • I remember that I pulled TWO Arlinn Kords in my Prerelease for Shadows Over Innistrad.
  • The one with the Ugin face. I have gotten-
    1): 2 Ugins (1 foil)
    2): Brutal Hordechief + Wooded Foothills in same booster
    3): Monastery Mentor
    4): Misprint Reality Shift
  • Erm
    Foil emrakul, the aeons torn
    foil chandra origins
    2 Expeditions
    and a Stoneforge mystic.

    THANKS GAME!

  • Once I bought four evolutionary leaps among other cards for my gb sacrifice deck, and an origins fat pack. I pulled five evolutionary leaps from that box, along with a (next to) useless tainted remedy. Just. . . Damn the luck.
  • I had a lucky SOI draft the other day. I pulled:
    Declaration in Stone (opened)
    Descend Upon the Sinful (opened, foil)
    Tireless Tracker (passed to me)
    Two hand lands (passed to me)
    Thing in the Ice (passed to me, no idea why)
    Cryptolith Rite (passed to me)
    Gitrog Monster (opened)

    Ended up going WGB and wrecking face until the last match. Took home a few packs.
  • Me at OGW Prerelease: "I'm probably going to get some crappy rare"-open a promo Mirrorpool($25) and an Oblivion Sower ($8.50)

    Me at SOI Prerelease: "Since I used up all my luck at the last one, I'll just get the worst card as my promo" - Open foil Arlinn Kord ($65) and Sigarda, Host of Herons ($5)

    I jinx myself in a good way.

    any pack w/o a planeswalker on the face. i also have better luck with packs that feature art with lesser rarities than mythic.
  • Kiora. From a pile of packs with kiora on the top my friend went in to get the ob nixilis one. He actually did open a nixilis, but i opened an expedition windswept heath. Off of the packs i got from it i got an expedition steam vents. I wonder if that's my lucky pack face?
  • Well, I don't truly believe in anything like that, however I recently bought an Eldritch Moon fat pack, and in the very last pack, which was a Smoldering Werewolf pack, I actually managed to pull Emrakul herself and Gisela the Broken Blade; and it actually had an extra flip in it in the form of Ulvenwald Captive...so it would probably be Smoldering Werewolf if I had a lucky pack...
  • Bloodbraid Elf eternal masters pack Cabal Therapy, Daze, and the Foil Mana Crypt.
  • Nissa lol
    I pulled Nissa, Vastwood Seer, Jace, Vryn's Prodigy, and Chandra, Fire of Kaladesh from Nissa boosters in Origins. Later in Gatewatch, I pulled both Tazri and Mina and Denn Wildborn from nissa packs.

    Kiora might also work? I got like Gideon, Ally of Zendikar, Ulamog, and Ob Nixilis Reignited from her, but since she's not a very big walker I haven't pulled anything else of worth from a Kiora pack. I unfortunately don't remember who I pulled my Dragonlord Silumgar from but if I could I would say they are the best cause that was my first legendary creature. I think that was Sidisi maybe? Idk
  • @ZendikarIncarnate I resent that comment about foil Avacyns! I never opened one. I only opened 2 expeditions (Flooded Strand and Canopy Vista), with the second one being in the third pack of a draft in which I got Ob NIxillis and Kiora. You call that lucky? I didn't even get a gideon that draft! (This post is half joke and half bragging. I only recently started getting good cards in drafts)

    I am not good at buying the lucky boosters, but often manage to buy the worst I could think of. Just recently I got my hands on a 10th edition booster. They also have a rare in it, but mine was a sengir vampire... I bought a variety of boosters and don't remember wich cards were in there. But what I remember is the fact that each rare was just one of the two or three rares, we already have in our collection. So we're still missing about 90 % of the rares, you can find in the older sets, I bought boosters for...
  • What if I told you I've never opened a booster before... I only buy singles or repacks.
  • The first pack my friend ever opened had Jace, Unraveler of Secrets AND Avacyn. My best pack was probably at the Kaladesh pre-release. It was my third pack opened and I was unsure about what colours to play. I had a good amount of removal in all colours, some decent energy, good artifacts, plenty of fabricate. Opened the pack: Bunch of random commons, then Voltaic Brawler! R/G Energy suddenly seemed very attractive. Got to the rare and... Combustible Gearhulk! Definitely red then. Checked to see if there was a foil, and staring right at me was a Foil Verdurous Gearhulk! Played R/G and came 8th.
  • See, I have no idea how you people pull this crap. The best pull I've ever had was a single Ob Nixilis. The last time I pulled a mythic was probably almost a year ago.
  • I have 6 masterpieces from Kaladesh so far. Sword of Feast and Famine makes limited very silly.
  • @strongbelieves
    6!? What's their combined value right now?
  • Angel of invention. I got Combustible gearhulk. XD
  • Lujikul that's really sad. Best of luck, Hope you get one soon
  • Is it worth entering a draft for the cards? I would never do it though, but would it be worth?
  • 4 packs:
    1: foil gideon
    2: foil nissa
    3: needle spires
    4: void winnower
  • Saheeli for sure. I've got

    3 Verduos (Yay spelling) gearhulk
    2 masterpiece (Hangarback walker and combustible gearhulk)
    Foil Cataclysmic gearhulk
    2 Dovin Baan
    Saheeli rai
    Nissa (New one)
    and a skysovereign.
  • Out of a Tamiyo I got a foil Collective Effort and a Grim Flayer.
    It's worth noting I had a friend open it for me.
