I have better luck with cards from Troll and Toad than any other place of purchase. I bought a few Planar Chaos boosters - got Damnation. Bought this and found both Baneslayer, Vampire Nocturnus and three planeswalkers in the same box - one being foil. These cards alone pay for more than the box - and all the common and uncommons make for a solid set!

I bought one of these Booster Boxes recently and got 14 Foils in it and 44 rares overall, 6 of which were Mythic!

apparently man from houston has never had the misfortune to face Hive Mind in extended... and as for cards that came in M2010 I love em. Very good things overall for the game... still miss 2 blue counterspell but sadly its probably the best thing they coulda left out for the sake of the metagame..

A great set at a great price, Troll and Toad is now a go-to web page for my gaming needs!

this is certainly one of the better core sets we've seen in a while. I like that there is a planeswalker in every color, and that many of the old favorites are back, like Serra Angel, Shivan Dragon, and the Air Elemental.

Pulled a Foil Baneslayer Angel and a Honor the pure IN THE SAME PACK. Great set, would recommend the box to anybody who has $100 to blow on Magic.

It's about time Wizards got a Core Set right. It was almost getting to the point where you did not need an imagination to work for Wizards. The game needed this shake up! 5 STARS across the board.

Very pleased with this! Got a Darksteel Colossus, Ajani Goldmane, and two Planar Cleansing to name a few. If you have the $100 to spend on this, do it. It's worth it.

One of the weakest sets I have ever seen. Most of the rares are junk, and some of the old rares that were turned into uncommons is for a good reason, because they are replaced and useless now (Serra Angel-->Baneslayer Angel). I bought one box and thought maybe I was just unlucky but then bought two being dumb. So many junk rares that are more common than uncommons (Hive Mind anyone?) are just one of the few that come to mind. Granted there are a few good rares and mythics in there like Honor of the Pure, Captain of the Watch, etc. but overall still a very weak set. Do yourself a favor and just buy singles..... seriously.

Best box i've seen in a while, I got Jace Beleran, Garruk Wildspeaker, 4 Mythic Rares not counting the planeswalkers, 2 Foil Rares atleast (Haunting Echos, Lich Lord of Unx, can't remember others off hand) each pack comes with 1 Rare and 3 Uncommons. I would say the gentleman who posted above me was super unlucky =( I ordered 2 more boxes today but I know I got a GREAT box this time around, plenty of actually USEFUL rares and great uncommons. Also to note, if you buy a fat pack, it comes with a manifest of every card in the series. Some really great commons available as well (8 lightening bolts, 3 soul wardens, 4 ponders, 4 llanowar elves) Worth the $90 for sure.

This set is full of great cards, and definitely a great purchase. Unfortunately, I bought a booster box of m10 and was the first booster box I have ever seen without a foil rare in it. Maybe I just got extremely unlucky, or they stopped putting a foil rare in every booster box. If the second true, I am definitely discouraged from buying another box.
