1000 Assorted Magic: The Gathering Cards

Jun 16, 2016

I'm afraid I have to agree with others here. Based on cost, I didn't expect much. I did, however, expect the description of the drop to be honored. However, contrary to what we were told, it is obvious that no pains were taken to avoid duplicates or include rares in these drops. Minimized duplicates? Not even close. Many, many cards had 6 or more copies. And if anyone needs any Banner artifacts (at least 15 each) or Goblin Balloon Brigade (37 in one box all right next to each other), I'm your guy. These pics are from one box. I got fed up and stopped taking them. When I put all 6 boxes together I'll post more, if anyone thinks that will be helpful.

Rares and powerful cards? In my 3 drops one box had 3(duplicate) rares three had 2 each, two had 1 each, and one had none. 11 total rares in 3 drops (average 1/301 cards) is slightly less than expected, especially since they were some of the worst out there. There were also 2 common foils total. Uncommons were very rare too, with one exception. One box did have 68 uncommon red cards, though mostly duplicates of the same 6 cards.
As far as older cards, which is what I really wanted, there were a total of 30 from 3rd Edition, 14 from 4th, 42 Fallen Empires (all in one box) and 20 Ice Age (6 Barbed Sextant, 7 Stone Rain, and 7 Mystic Ramora, same box as the FE.) That's 106 total. From 3000+ cards. Almost all the other cards were from the last 5-6 years. On the plus side, although one of the boxes was damaged none of the cards were.
Also a positive, each box had at least 533 cards, my total received was 3314. I only got 4 basic lands, and 5 tokens, but 33 ads. Even if I count only those cards with more than 4 copies, this still does not nearly make up for the excess duplicates. If anyone (ie Massdrop) is interested I should have all the numbers crunched by some time next week.
