Invasion Box Report

[Zadok001]

Well, my school's boxes (ordered through me) finally came in. Nine boxes all told, split one box per person. My box was one of the best, IMHO, with the only fairly good foil rare: Pyre Zombie.

There were no notable packs (two rares, bent cards, misprints, etc...) in my box, nor that I heard of in anyone else's. My rares and foils were (some of this is inaccurate, as trading changed of few of the cards I have):

FOIL:

Prison Barricade
Galina's Knight
Mountain
Pyre Zombie
Forest
Shivan Emissary

NORMAL RARES:
Vile Consumption
Harsh Judgement
Kavu Titan
Tsabo Tavoc
Bind
Mage's Contest x 2
Well Laid Plans (well laid or otherwise, these plans are worthless)
Metathran Aerostat x 2
Winnow x 2
Elvish Champion
Treva, the Renewer x 2
Alabaster Leech
Spreading Plague
Lotus Guardian x 2
Ghitu Fire
Tsabo's Assasin
Armored Guardian x 2
Urza's Rage
Sabertooth Nishoba
Pure Reflection
Phyrexian Infiltrator
Distorting Wake
Noble Panther x 2
Blazing Specter x 2 (traded for one)
Divine Presence
Void
Utopia Tree

Nice, neh? As I said, I traded for some of those, but most were straight from my box.

 

[Cateran Emperor]

Good box. I don;'t remember exactly, but my box was absurd. Something like:

Kavu Titan x2
Skizzik
Artifact Mutation x3 (I have no idea how either, but this is one I won't complain on )
Aura Mutation x2
Darigaaz
Crosis
Galina x2
Atalya x2
Blazing Specter x2
Mages Contest
Deuling Grounds
Keldon Necropolis x2 (D'oh!)
Stormscape Master
Thunderscape Master
Harsh Judgement x2
Spirit of Resistance
Lotus Guardian

and some other stuff. Some truly absurd things here.

HIGHLIGHT OF THE BOX
Getting ONE Probe (if you don't get this, then I'll explain. Probe is a COMMON) in the whole darn box! But I got 9 Recoils and 21 of the assorted dual color 2/2 Pro guys. Explain that

 

[mogg bomber]

Wow, a foil Pyre Zombie is really good. My box had a foil Rith the Awakener. It also had alot of other nice cards, but it wasn't nearly as good as Cateran Emperor's. I was pretty happy, except that I got no Utopia Trees, no Skizziks,no Sleeper's Robes,and no Fact or Fictions.

[Ogg]

I haven't opened all my packs yet.. I was kinda hoping for a draft-type thing. However, I DID get a pack with 2 rares... Not in the box, though. Zadok was there. Ask him! But, in my box, first two packs I opened... two more dragon legends. I currently have all 5... Got them all within the first... 10 packs I opened, although I got 2 offa Cerberus, I think.

 

[Namielus]

I got some good sh!t off that box, but it looks like we all did.

[Ura]

Just as far as collation goes. I've been through 9 boxes at my shop plus one that I opened myself.
So far I haven't seen or heard of anyone getting a:

Utopia Tree
Skizzik
Treva, the Renewer
Shadowscape Master
Stormscape Master
plus a couple other odds and ends.

However I've gotten personally 3 Sabertooth Nishoba and 3 Noble Panther which I don't mind so much, but theres other stuff I'd rather have.
The good highlight was getting a foil Crosis and a foil Shivan Oasis.

Everything else seems fairly even though.

 

[Howard]

I bought my box the day it came out and here's what I got:

Foils:
Phyrexian Delver

What do you think? I think I got a pretty good box overall. But I was expecting Skizziks, Kavu Titans, Undermines, Do or Die's, Urza's Rages, Voids, Noble Panthers, Yawgmoth's Agendas... but I'm asking too much here. 8)

I only got a 6 total of the new tap duals lands though. grrrr.

I didn't get a lot of tournament-level cards, but a ton of good trade fodder though. So I'm pretty happy with it.

[Griffith_se]

Hummmm.... I didn't see one single Undermine. I guess I'll have to buy singles at some over inflated price.

 

[dw51688]

Somehow, I haven't got any invasion cards yet. Haven't got to it.

 

[Melkor]

I've only bought 5 packs, but in them I've gotten Tsabo Tavoc, Empress Galina, and Capatain Sisay. Hmmm I think that perhaps the fates are telling me to make a Legends deck, but if that was true than why did the fates give me such a sweet trade deal for my 4 City of Brasses right before Invasion came out?

[dw51688]

You got awesome cards there Darsh!

 

[Darsh]

Thanks dw, I'm sure that you'll get some when you get your cards, I only wish I had a couple more Do or Dies and a Skizzik or two more but oh well, I can always trade for them

 

[dw51688]

Well you never know. The first mercadian masque booster I got had a packaging mistake. I got two rares. Both awesome! I got a foil rishadan port and a bribery.

 

[dw51688]

Lucky me! Wish I had luck like that everyday. I have so much bad luck at school.

 

[Darsh]

I must have good luck today because at that Triple Triad site (in the gaming forum) I've already been asked to join a clan, just on my second day of playing! Weird, and all I did was say "good luck" to her.
