I was very pleased with this purchase. I received two of this lot and came out with only two dupes, this was a bit surprising as I expected quite a bit more due to the reviews. This is great for building up a decent collection of rares and casual play. It's a great starter to players that want to build a deck around some great cards without spending too much. I would not recommend this to stock up to build a tournament deck by any means, but that usually is the given stigma in buying a random lot. More than satisfied with the purchase and the price, will buy again.

I ordered this and didn't really get anything to special, its a good deal if you're interested in seeing what you'll get. Even though it wasn't the best experience, i'd do it again just to take my chances.

Nice cards for the price.....thanks again T&T

Based on all the good reviews here i thought i would give this a try. I didn't expect super rares. But i did figure i would get some random cards. What a disappointment when i opened the pack. 8x Illusionary Presence and 9x Dancing Scimitar. I will not be ordering this again.

Wow! What a fantastic purchase this was! Strong points of the purchase 1. All usable cards 2. 60% were multicolor cards which I base my decks around anyways so that's a Win for me. 3. Most cards were from the Alara block which is fine with me. 4. No foreign cards 5. Received 30/30 cards which shows attention to detail! I'm buying more tomorrow. Maybe with a request this time. Thanks T&T. I'll be doing business with you in the future for sure!

i ordered four of these and was very pleased, however i didn't recieve any black, artifact, or land rares in the packs but overall it was pretty good.

I'm very pleased with the pack I bought. I did get 4 doubles but I still got some pretty decent cards in the pack. I would recommend getting this.

  -- By Thomas from Daytona Beach, FL USA on November 05, 2008

This is really good, I love these Magic Cards.

  -- By Tom from Hawaii on February 14, 2008

Unbelievable deal. Highlights included a 5th Edition Green Mana Battery, two Libraries of Leng, a Beatdown Force of Nature, and a Mana Clash and an Angry Mob straight out of _The Dark_...

I'm deployed so its hard to get cards here. This was a pretty cool buy, although I couldn't use any in my green/red deck. I was really happy though, saw some that make me want to build a new deck based on white.

Sliver Queen! It is worth 19.99 and I got it in this 13.99 set!

As a new MTG player the rare pack gave me some great rares as well as cards to trade with my friends, we all found something we wanted. Tim laramie Wyoming

I got a Two-Headed Dragon and a Thorn Elemental.

  -- By Anonymous from Switzerland on September 16, 2005

I bought two of these and recived a total of 33 diferent cards. There were that many repeats between the two packs that I bought. This product gets three stars because some of the cards that I recieved were useful and will be good for trading. This product is worth buying but maybe only one at a time and then wait a month before you buy another.

Rares help many magic players win in tourneys. Without Rares many of the world's most successful decks never could have dreamed of being as good as they are. The point is the 30 rare lot is a very good way of getting many good rares that will help you be a great magic player. My rare collection is huge now after buying these and many of my decks consist of these cards. TrollandToad did a wonderful job creating these packs. I started buying five packs I recomend you do the same. You will not regret it.

  -- By Andrew from GA USA on November 02, 2004

At only 40 cents per rare, this is an excellent deal. Obviously most of the cards will not be tournament winners, but there are many good cards. It isn't like the "cheap bad rares" box at many stores. I bought 2 packs and got an assortment of cards from Antiquities through 8th Edition, all in near-mint condition. Some of the best cards were Eladamri's Call, Planar Birth, Planar Collapse, Zur's Weirding, Quicksilver Amulet, Sacred Mesa, and Smokestack. (There was also a Thoughtlace, but hey, not all the cards can be good.) A very good way to build your collection.

  -- By Nate from Anonymous on October 07, 2004

I received these cards very quickly, and was very pleased with the selection of rares i received. I actually received a rare signed by the artist as well. This is a great offer, i plan on buying these again very soon

  -- By Anonymous from KY on May 21, 2004

Overall its pretty good, but some uncommons and a shorted card ended up in my lot of two.

  -- By Dusty from sparta, WI on May 17, 2004

Well i was very excited about this deal. I ordered 2 sets of 30. I got them promptly, opened them, expecting to get a couple repeats. I got 30 pretty okay cards, definetly worth 12 bucks.

  -- By David Molenaar from Minnesota on April 02, 2004

It was all right, if you buy multiple sets expect copies.

  -- By from kansas city, kansas on March 31, 2004

The best pack of rares that I have ever purchased. Some great cards included. There were actually 31 rares in this lot and they were definately worth more than 12 bucks. Will purchase again. Thanks.

  -- By Cole from Oregon on March 11, 2004

man i got like, crosan cloudscraper (13/13) and tons of other cards like Plauge wind and searing wind. I only got one bad card, Greed.

  -- By Anonymous from Alexandria, VA USA on January 31, 2004

Great deal. Got all rares from sets I could never get anymore. Most I have never seen before. Had 1 foreign card in it, but its still usable. Shipping took longer than I had hoped.

  -- By Anonymous from CA USA on January 17, 2004

This mix of 30 rares is an excellent deal. For no money, you have some very good cards that can help you build a deck. I hope you will continue selling this. If you're interested in buying this, do not hesitate.

  -- By frederic from Leuven, Belgium on December 12, 2003

I got 2 of these, and I got 30 cards a piece. Of the 60, 47 appeared to be played (very worn). Notching from tight rubberbands did not help. 1 of the cards is Italian, but still rare. Competitive pricing. Good choice to get cards for casual play with friends, but not good for collectors interested in mint/NM.

  -- By Anonymous from Miami, FL USA on December 04, 2003

The best thing I ever got. Spend your money and buy it soon.:)

  -- By Tabby Baxter from white lale ,mi usa on November 03, 2003

I never knew that a 4th edition Battering Ram was a Rare, but other than that I am happy.

  -- By David Thomason from Oregeon on October 10, 2003

It was good but.. I bought 2 of these and i had 12 that were duplicates.

  -- By Biggum from Vidalia, Georgia on September 11, 2003

Awsome cards for no money.

  -- By Anonymous from leesburg,va on May 04, 2003

EVERYONE THAT WANTS RARES SHOULD GET THIS NOOOW! I pulled 3 shambling swarms, 2 Birds of Paradise, 1 Spiritmonger, 3 Thunder Spirits (2/2s with first strike and flying for 1colorless and two plains)! This deal is GREAT! I got lots of Ice Age and Odyssey and some onslaught too. I also got 2 rares from 4th edition! I pulled one Balance (on of best cards in game) from that too! This thing is great, next time I'm going to buy like 10 of these! I repeat if you need rares, or looking to build a better deck, get this NOW!

  -- By Anonymous from Miami, FL USA on March 22, 2003

The 30 random rares is the best deal I know and i`ve been on all the web sites that involve magic the gathering cards.

  -- By Louis Groom from france on November 30, 2002

This was the best pack ever. I got a ton of great rares, and instead of buying lots of boosters to get them i just bought one pack. Shivan wurm, serra angel, singir vamp., shadow mage infiltrator,and grimlava mancer. Those are just some of my rares.

  -- By Anonymous from Cleveland OH USA on November 27, 2002

Neat deal. Cool rares.

  -- By Anonymous from Cary, NC USA on November 02, 2002

This is such an amazing offer. Think of it this way, if you buy something in quanities you get alot for cheap.

  -- By Anonymous from new york buffalo on October 26, 2002

'Twas the best deal ever. The only problem is that I got 3 Ertai the corrupted and 3 Rubina Soulsinger(chronicles) in the same pack. Someone needs to look out for multicard shipments.

  -- By Bubba from on October 13, 2002

This is a good price and 30 rares is a alot. Whoever made this keep up the good work.

  -- By Bj sarian from Hi.Usa on September 02, 2002

This pack is GREAT...

  -- By Anders from Norway on August 26, 2002

All it needs are some oddesy block rares.

  -- By Anonymous from richmond,bc,CANADA on July 17, 2002

This pack totally kicks butt! In my pack i got a empress galina which rules! i also got a sibluant spirit which is excellent too. My best card was a beast of burden which has power and toughness equal to the number of creature cards in play.

  -- By Anonymous from England on July 17, 2002

I got some really great rares, helm of possesion, great for my goblin deck. i got some foriegn cards though, but if you find the translation, its ok for causual play, plus you could lie to your idiot friends about what they say. great price! buy lots!

  -- By Anonymous from New York, NY USA on June 27, 2002

I bought 2 of these lots. I got some decent rares and type 2 rares, plus they sent 2 bonus uncommons including a Lim-Duls paladin....nice

  -- By Wake from Erie, PA USA on March 19, 2002

I didnt get 30 rares, I only got twenty-eight, and two uncommons. But other than that it was OK. Most were from Invasion

  -- By Anonymous from NV, USA on March 14, 2002

Great! This is the only way to descibe this product. Not only are you going to get at least 1 card you want ANY 30 rares is worth this price.

  -- By Anonymous from Castleton, VT on March 09, 2002

These are good for the money I got some rares i would not expect in rare lots.
