Got Kaladesh and Fate Reforged. Unless they have anti-theft device when manufactured,which I doubt greatly, I know i have been robbed. These are not genuine WOTC fat packs. I only opened the kaladesh fat pack and i haven't been surprised. Best rare was a smuggling Copter. The wrap didn't have the logo WOTC. Good lesson for the future. Never ever purchase grab like these. Lesson learned

MaddiganedI have the same problem, just received my Eldritch Moon fat pack today and these are very clearly re-packs. The wrappers are extremely wrinkly and don’t tear normally, seems like there is glue on the top and bottom seam because the foil abruptly tears to the side when it reaches either seam. The cards also don’t appear to be mint condition, you can notice white along the borders when looking at them straight on and some had small bends that look like the edges were scraped by a fingernail like when trying to pick up an unsleeved card.
I only pulled 1 mythic rare and it’s an 11 cent card, 4 other rares were duplicates and all extremely common. The corners of the cards also appear to be clipped and uneven on some of them so when they are stacked the corners aren’t all rounded and cut the same way. Unless I missed something and Eldritch Moon was printed and packaged in far lower quality than any other block I’ve opened in the last decade, there is no way these aren’t re-packs. I will be contacting Massdrop and expect a refund or replacement pack, this is completely unacceptable and false advertising.

MojitoMafiaNo offense but I dont think anyone is out there making fake Eldrich Moon cards at this point. You say they are repacked because you didnt get a good card and then you imply they must be fake because of the quality of the cards.. It would cost someone way more money to reprint cards from a new set like Eldrich Moon than the cards are worth so I am pretty sure I can say with certainty that you are incorrect in your assumptions..

scedaveI wouldn’t think someone would fake Eldritch Moon either but every single one of these packs was clearly opened before I received them, if anything Massdrop sourced these from a sketchy vendor. My best guess is these had any cards of value pulled from them and were repacked a few years ago around the time the block originally came out or when it was still Standard, then this fat pack just sat in a warehouse or on a shelf somewhere to be purchased by Massdrop years later.
I'm not complaining about odds, I knew fully what I was getting into with odds not being great to get a good block but figured it would be fun to take the gamble anyways for $40. Wasn’t super stoked I got Eldritch Moon but figured it could be worse since I never played this block before and at least it wasn’t a Theros block or something I already have thousands of cards from.
Obviously rare pulls alone are never going to make me think something is a repack, I’ve been playing MtG for a very long time and have gotten plenty of fat packs and booster boxes that were complete duds with very underwhelming cards, that’s part of playing Magic. I was using the rare cards I pulled and the fact that so many were the same card as a way to illustrate things seemed a little fishy with this fat pack combined with the other factors I mentioned with card and wrapper condition.
So I’m glad you have so much confidence in your assumptions that I’m wrong when you’ve never seen these packs and have no idea what I’m talking about, but go ahead and keep blindly defending Massdrop while putting down users in their comments because you think I’m new to Magic or lying about what I received for some reason.
I took these photos last night within 20 min of opening the fat pack, every single foil wrapper when held up to the light has gaps or clear tears at the seams even though I haven’t opened or done anything to the still “sealed” pack in the photos. I’d love your explanation on why the quality of all of these were far worse then any of the thousands of booster packs I’ve opened over the years.
