So yesterday was the second day of the full week Magic: the Gathering tournament for Iloilo City and this was held at Critical Hit: Comics and Games at around 6:30pm. We had nine players in attendance to duel for the Standard Showdown packs along with the regular GRN boosters. I was the TO and I, unfortunately, forgot to bring a deck which supposedly filled the tenth player slot. anyhow, as I was handling the event, I decided to check on the other booster pack products that they are selling. I saw that there were still a lot of Ixalan booster packs and I have though of the notable Rare and uncommon in the set which I can sell later on. I initially bought three booster packs and got two ok-ok Rares and a crap Mythic. Also, only Kitesail Freebooter as the notable Uncommon. Unsatisfied, I decided to check two more booster packs and still no luck. I was persistent that I can open at least a Search for Azcanta or Carnage Tyrant and ended up with these.

That is about eleven Ixalan booster packs opened. No Tyrant or Vraska’s Contempt or Vraska herself. A few of the Rares and Mythics I opened were the following:

Settle the Wreckage
Rowdy Crew
Burning Sun’s Avatar
Ripjaw Raptor
Entrancing melody
Overflowing Insight
Spell Swindle
Wakening Sun’s Avatar
Fathom Fleet Captain
Sunpetal Grove
Shaper’s Sanctuary
Kinjalli’s Sunwing

Notable Uncommons were Chart a Course, Siren Stormtamer, Unclaimed Territory and Lightning Strike. To sum up all the cards’ current prices, it has barely made in half of the total amount I have spent of those booster packs. I somewhat regret it, yes, but it was the risk I took. I was hoping to open a good Mythic but all three were just about a dollar in cost. Anyhow, I would still get the value by selling these cards to the other local players and use the remaining Commons to build some tutorial and freebie decks for the next Learn-to-Play sessions.

Enough of this rant. Until the next post.
