Is it common for a box to have multiple of the same rares? For instance, I hit three Mobilizes in a box of DLS, one foil the other two non-foil.

I got 2 mobilize (1 foil, 1 regular) from one box of DLS. But I've also gotten none, so it seems like either feast or famine with DLS.

In my boxes of MXM, my foils came 1 to a pack as normal, but always came in multiples within the boxes - e.g. I have 3 Scaleface, 3 Julia Carpenter, etc.

I remember a MHG box in our local store, that every booster comes with at least 3-4 rares... [cloud9]

Haha, yeah it was definitely worth the $30 I spent for the box, because the three Mobilizes were worth double that!

I wish I could get a box of MVL that was a hot box full of foils, because only six foils per box hurts my feelings!

I have a modern Bosom Buddies deck that is completely foiled out, and it easliy cost over $200 as well as almost a year and a half to find all the cards. And I also have a friend with a modern Jean Grey deck that is completely foiled out that easily cost $300.

I actually gave up on foiling decks once I learned about the new foil distribution.

yeah, foils are nice, but being a fairly new group we decided to forgo the pursuit of foil (at least for now), and pursue getting the cards we don't have yet.

My goal was to have atleast one modern deck that was completely foiled out.. but now that I reached that point, all I want is more [laugh] Foils are definitely my favorite part of my collection, and I guess since they are so rare with the newer sets it feels more rewarding to get them then it did with the older sets.

yeah, I could see how it would be fun, but we just need the cards in general, and are willing to leverage a few foils to get the ones we need. Maybe one day we can go after a foil deck or two. We'll see. :)

Yeah, same here when I was starting with the game.
Once the deck count reached double digits, I started on the foiling.

very first box of vs i bought was an MOR box.

went to the store and bought like 3 packs from a freshly opened box. went home, and each pack had 5 rares in it. luckily the store was about a block away, and I ran there, bought the rest of the box.

It was a hot box. And that got me into vs system.
