Curious to hear best thing that was pulled from the packs. I heard a couple of strong angels and nero. How about a Warriors KoT or Harvest Time, or gasp even a playtest card? ;D
-
A guy named Martin pulled an original play test card. Several people at Nats pulled multiple GOYS. I seemed to only get copies of ANB, likely as a mocking of a reason I didn't win my T2 MP game with Ron Sias in timeout.
-
More details about the playtest card?
-
Play test card? What now? Did I miss the memo on this?
-
Occasionally we may mix in a bonus card such as one autographed by the artist, an original playtesting card, a promo card such as King David, King Solomon or Wings of Calamity.
From the description of TXP on the CGD home page.
-
Oh, cool! What's a playtest card though?
-
Rob supposedly hid 2 original play test cards in the boxes of TxP he brought to Nats. Only one was open (it was Frog Demons), but since the other is still unopened, I'm not sure what it was. Here's hoping it was among those left that Bryon got from Rob...
-
I pulled a GOYS and Burial shroud in one pack ;D
-
i think we should change the name of this thread to the worse cards pulled with the texp packs...or worse ultra rares...
because really, all i've got so far are junk ultras. anyone need any casting lots, pierced hearts, siegeworks, etc etc?
-
I pulled two Storehouses, and I know of three other Storehouses pulled. I also pulled Three Nails and Burial Shroud in the same pack.
-
I pulled a GOYS and Burial shroud in one pack ;D
can i have the goy?
-
I like my Nero.
-
Yeah, and Michael_of_the_Star pulled 4 copies of Nero in his 17(?) packs.
-
I opened a little over 40 packs.
Pulled 6 GoYS, 9 Storehouses, 3 Burial Shrouds, 4 Neros, 2 Household Idols, and about 45 other random not-so-great URs. Also got 2 Holy Grails, 6 Confusions, 5 Great Images, 6 Dungeon of Malchiahs, and 3 False Peaces.
-
Holy wow... can't wait to get my order of packs... ;D
-
is no one else worried that the value of ultra rares from these sets will drop considerably given how everyone is breaking a gajillion goys, don, nero, blahblahblah per pack? ugh.
-
I predict value will drop $1-$2 each on the more important URs. Simply because supply and demand is still decently high since more and more people are keeping more than one deck made and entering them into tournaments.
For instance, I'm getting 4 sets of the new dominants so I can have both my Type-2 2 player decks built, my Type-1 2 player, and my "For-fun" deck made without having to switch cards.
-
I got a few GoYS, 2 WoP, 3 Nero, 1 Wrath of Stan, 2 TSA and 2 Holy Grail along with several other assorted ultras. Although some packs didn't have any ultra rares, others had as many as 3 or 4 ultras. I don't know of anyone that pulled an ultra from Warriors.
Rob said something about the TexP packs from Nationals being "loaded" more than the regular ones will be. The reasoning had something to do with the time crunch to put them together and locating some of the cards from older sets in the warehouse.
-
Are all of the cards in the TexP packages foil cards or is it just the two new cards from the TexP expantion?
-
Just the two.

i like this...
-
This means that older players will sell their cards such as goys and WoP to younger players, who can't afford it. In turn, the older players will buy more cards to play type II and have a bunch of other cards to have, and the circle goes on. I think that this idea was AWESOME.
-
Also, has anyone even pulled a DON out of the new pack?
-
I don't know of anyone that pulled an ultra from Warriors.
Someone opened a Warriors Ark of the Covenant during Booster.
Also, has anyone even pulled a DON out of the new pack?
I only heard of this happening twice at Nats. Strange compared to the number of GOYS that were released.

look at the number of your patriarchs ultras compared to your apostles ultras. then you'll understand.
-
Pats are 1 ultra every 8 or so packs on the odds. Apostles are closer to 1 in 5 packs or so.
-
im not talking about pack odds.
round up all the cards you got from texp. count the number of pats ultras you got. now count the number of apostles ultras you got. blam.
-

You are one strange dude.
-
The Patriarchs URs would also be more spread out since there can also be uncommons in the TexP packs. So the odds of getting a Pats UR are around 10 in 190 (10 URs, 40 Rares x2 on a sheet, 100 uncommons on a sheet) for each Pats card, while it's around 16 in 90 for Apostles. So it should be expected that there are more Apostles URs (by about a 3-4 to 1 ratio, I think).
-
I opened my first and second false peace's out of TexP, Funny, I've been playing this game for 11 years and those were the first two copies of that card I own..... and probably the card I was most happy to see in my Treasures.

blam. thank you.
why did this make me strange ymt?
-

Just the presentation and "blam" thing. ;D
-
lol i guess i just came off 'strange'. i meant for him to literally count the number of pats ultras versus apostles ultras he pulled from texp packs, and then relay that back to us. like aggie said, the apostles ultras would far outweigh the pats ultras he got. i bought 7 packs...13 ultras, and only ONE was a pats ultra.
as far as -BLAM!-, its my new catchphrase :D

Strangely enough, I got more Pats URs than Apostles URs. Realize it's against the odds, but I picked the packs that made it happen.
-
Mr. HanKerCHIEF,
Pack odds matter. Because the pack odds in the packs were as they were, they directly translate to texp. This is because they're are more URs as compared to Rs in Apostles than Patriarchs. This translates to texp.

Sounds like you can take over for John Madden on football telecasts. :)

I was curious if he plays Redemption games like that, too.
"Son of God and New Jerusalem.... BLAM!"
"I block with King of Tyrus..... BLAM!"
"I'll take two TexP packs, Rob. Here's $10 ..... BLAM!"
-
I view it more like Emeril, but that's just me.

Mr. LaGasse's lobster-stuffed sausage, ftw!

Well guys i pulled a King Solomon Promo From the boardgame!!!!
-

that's awesome!
-
...except they reprinted a way better version in texp. hmm.
-
I'd be more concerned with the fact that he only pulled a King Solomon from the board game, since King David should have been there too. ;)
-
I bought 10 packs, and drew 2 GoYS, a DoN, 2 WoP, 1 HP, 1 AnB, a 3 Nails, and a few others.
-
I really hope they include some tournament promos and stuff like that. How cool would it be to get a Priests of Christ or a Faithful Servant?
-
I call the FSP that goes to Pittsburgh.
-
If I get half as good of pulls as Cam did, it will be a worthwhile investment :P
-
Is TexP the new cards?
If so, where can I buy some or see the cards?
If not, what is it?

yes it is the new set i got my TexP packs at nats
-
A guy named Martin pulled an original play test card.
YES! it was the playtest card frog demons. I opened 2 packs and got 2 Grapes. ;)
Also in one pack i opened a GOYS, a burial shroud and a Joseph in prison. ;D In other packs, i got 3 TSA's and Second seals, literally 6 Household idols, 5 30 pieces of silver, ANB, a couple writs, like 4 battering rams and some other stuff. it was TAASSTTTYYY!! ;D
-

I have absolutely no proof of this, but I have a feeling the packs at Nats had a few extra URs....
-
YES! it was the playtest card frog demons.
DUDE! POST A PIC!!!
P.S. Seeing as you were referred to as "a guy named Martin" I assume you didn't do very well at Nats? ;)
-
He did pretty well in Ironman, I simply referred to him as 'a guy named Martin' because I plum forgot he was on the boards.
-
Oh, I didn't see the Ironman results. (In fact, it didn't even occur to me that this play type would be used...should have been obvious I guess.)
-
I pulled:
1 GoyS
2 Joseph in Prison
1 Warriors King of Tyrus ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
1 Prosperity
1 TPoS
1 TSA
2 of the Masks from warriors,
I got some other good cards but can't remember them all now, not bad for opening 5 packs!
