Worst Pack Opening Ever?

I opened 133 packs. The number in parenthesis is the pack # it was opened:

(6) Tekhan
(31) Warrior Quest
(61) Sir Finley
(98) Priest Quest
(100) Anka

22 epics (1 of those was a triplicate)
17 golden (7 common, 9 rare, 1 epic)
153 rares (with 74 being triplicates+ and 9 extra golden copies)

I hope my 3 extra are good. Sheesh.

Update: I recieved Shaman Quest, Rogue Quest (Golden) and Hunter Quest (Golden) when i logged in. I also opened 1 more pack and got Siamat. Not too bad.

I am deeply sorry for your loss. I mean it.

This is why after preordering once and being completely disappointed, I told myself never again. I ended up crafting most of the cards I actually wanted and it took 2 expansions as the dusting rate is abysmal.

I only hope you didn’t spend $130 and if so, you have condolences.

I recently put my own 133 pack numbers up if you’re interested but I wish I tracked the repeating Epics and Rares I got. My goodness, the amount of Plague of Madness (Rare) and Shadows of Death (Epic) that kept appearing over and over was ridiculous.

I thankfully got a Puzzle Box of ā€˜Yoggers’ (as I call it lol) which I really want to mess around with, but I felt I missed out on so many Epics that I ā€˜should’ve’ had. I wanted that Tortollan Pilgrim and a few other Epics but I kept getting the same ones.

Grrrr lol.

I hope mine are too haha.

I am sure you know this but this is by design.

In the past the developers have stated that it’s one of their goals in the design of opening the loot box…I mean card packs is that you don’t get a complete or nearly complete collection.

Getting multiple copies of rares and epics you already own vs a single of most epics you don’t own is ā€˜working as intended’.

On the bright side, I’m only 7 packs from the pity timer. :wink:

Oh absolutely.

I never expected a clean sweep and I dare say it’s like that for any TCG. To be left with 10 Epics missing isn’t too bad I must admit. The Legendary’s I expect and I can definitely craft my last missing Rare. I got Tomb Warden (Warrior) 2+ and 2 Golden Tomb Warden’s as well I’m sure so I’ll dust one of those and few others I might want 2 copies of.

I’m currently 0/25 for my current Legendary timer and my max drought was 32 packs. I should get my next one very soon as well. I have enough gold for another 15 packs to see out the pity timer but I reckon I’ll get it before then.

Welcome to pretty much every CCG. I mean in MtG:A I am opening roughly ~200 packs an expansion ($50 + gold + rewards) and I have:

RNA: 88%
GRN: 87%
WAR: 86%
M20 (still opening): 57%

For comparison, HS past 4:
WW (spent $50): 221/237 93%
Boom: (spent $130): 230/248 93%
RR: (spent $80): 227/247 92%
RoS: (spent $0): 216/248 87%

Now, in both, that includes crafting because I have no clue what I spent dust/wildcards on by this point in time.

and that is cool and well within yoru right, etc. Honestly, when I preorder I just look at as getting X legend (~30 packs) + dust… nothing more so my expectations are fairly low. I honestly purchase more by how I feel about the expansion + my current engagement with it.

They’re actually good numbers at the end of the day for what you spent. I’ve spent more on other card games in the past.

How much gold did you put into Rise of Shadows? Initially I mean, in one go. I unfortunately missed the RoS bundles and I’ve held my gold back just in case for SoU, but I’ve had good cards come from my SoU openings so I’ll probably get some RoS packs. I’m just curious as to how much you put in to get your 87%.

i got priest Quest in pack number 6

Kinda sad, feel sorry for you. I wish you more lucky next pack opening.

On the bright side, you got lots of cards, lots of dust, and will get almost average legendaries very soon with free packs (I assume).

Also, you don’t really have to spend gold to hit the next legendary, unless you want to. Remember the adventure will probably have packs, and there’s probably going to be a bundle. (So don’t use gold to chase legendaries multiple times!)

We have actually heard worse, not that it’s any consolation.

I wouldn’t say worse but pretty bad. I opened 52 packs and there was already 5 legendaries and 11 epics, a anka and a epic was golden too.

isn’t 5 the average for a 130 opening? that’s what always hear so I think it isn’t so bad.

I had left over gold from RR so I opened, between gold and promo, roughly 90 packs.

I know I crafted Scargil, Betrug, Swampqueen, and Jepetto as legends… Not sure on what else if anything. Those are the only ones that come to mind.

Ah nice. I will have around 4.7, 4.8k gold by the time the 6th rolls around. I could get half of what you got…hopefully haha.

during Boomsday i opened 2 legends in a 100 pack stretch.

i absolutely obliterated that fakenews ā€œpity timerā€ myth

I’m really not sure until I see it. That’s why I’ve been tracking all my packs for all sets. 32 packs is my worse drought I’ve had.

You definitely counted them correctly?

The new Finley might actually be good, depending on which cards are available to you. Most of the cards in this new set though, look like trash, like the worst new cards I’ve seen in years in my opinion.
