Ya know,

I have some of that stuff you're missing including the Ruby Medallion. It's a shame you live way off in lala land...

Okay, I got three of the all foil Alara block packs with my order, because I wanted to open a few all foil packs for fun. Will they be any good? Let's find out! They were 9 bucks a piece

This would be an awesome draft btw

Pack #1:

Commons first, and I am doing this one card at a time

Naturalize - a nice pull
Akrasan Squire - the 1/1 Exalted guy for 1, not for my deck, but not bad
Viscera Dragger - Just okay, there are some decks that play him though
Dregscape Zombie - Crap
Gustrider Exuberant - Crap
Esper Cormorants - Not bad at all
Bone Saw - Okay
Wretched Banquet - yuck
Qasali Pridemage - Nice Pull
Grixis Grimblade - Okay inthe right deck

Uncommons -

Rockcaster Platoon - Upgrade for my deck's non-foil one, great Multiplayer card
Skyward Eye Prophets - A 3/3 vigilance guy with Sinband's ability and 6 mana - sucky
Fire-Field Ogre - Crappy

Rare - Mythic Maelstronm Nexus. Nice

Foil Plains

**TheAbe** · January 20th, 2010, 03:10 PM

Pack 2

Glaze Fiend - Ick
Sigil Blessing - Not bad
Resoundign Wave - Solid
Agony Warp - Solid
Resounding Roar - Okay
Deny reality - Yuck
Beacon Behemoth - Yuck
Molten Frame - Yucky yuck
Grixis Illusionist - Not bad at fixing mana problems early, but cannot be sued to hose opponents like Dream Thrush, so enhh
Sangrite Backlash - Nah

Unc:

Illusiory Demon - Yuck
Scourge Devil - Nah
Jhessian Balmgiver - Nah

Font of Mythos the double Howling Mine, very tradeable. Not really my kind of card

Foil Mountain

**TheAbe** · January 20th, 2010, 03:14 PM

Final Pack

Grixis Panorama - Excellent!
Savage hunter - Yuk
Sanctum Gargoyle - I love this card!
Viashino Skeleton - Shitty
Breath of Malfegor - Solid in some mp formats
Valeron Outlander - Enhh
Rupture Spire - Awesome!
Infectious Horror - Not even close
Sanctum Plowbeast - Great! I already had a foil though...
Violent Outburst - Playable

Unc:

Etherium Astrolabe - Meh
Shard Convergence - Rockin'
Sangrite Surge - Enhh

SPELLBREAKER BEHEMOTH. ROCK ON!

Interesting. It seemed like those would be a risky proposition. Hard to earn your money back per pack.

It's like gambling. Win big, or go home. A normal booster with a Spellbreaker Behemoth is 2 card for 3.50 pric,e and I got 14 other cards too, not too bad. Here its a 4 dollar card for 9 dollar price with 14 other foils. Worth it? I don;t know.

Only 16 foils from the entire block have a price of more than 10 dollars, and one is uncommon (Path to Exile). But imagine winning and getting Elspeth foil, or Tezzeret foil or Progenitus foil or Meddling Mage foil or Noble Hierarch foil and so forth. Now, you chance of getting a foil rare is guaranteed, not just one in the box.

6 more have a rpice of 9.99 and would be worth it: Thornbling, Bloodbraid Elf, Hellkite Overlord which you should already have foiled, Wall of Reverence, Sharuum the Hegemon and Empyrial Archangel.
