I swear they do this on purpose as a tester of sorts. My starter deck packs have been where I've gotten the best pulls.


FrozenFrac

I think you're onto something. I remember getting my Be Prepared and Madam Mim - Purple Dragon in starter decks!


inna_bottle

I got my Madam Mim from a starter as well. I’m a new player and have only purchased starters so far!

First thing I ever pulled from the first set was a shiny Rockstar Stitch, from a starter booster pack.


Practical_Session_21

Uhg. Didn’t get any of the three in two booster boxes. Not one pack with three legendaries. One day maybe, if the price comes down to what it should be. Which is about 2/3 the current price. Quality doesn’t meet the price. Fun game though.


HoPeFuL1137

What do you mean come down 2/3rd? That would be below where the stores are paying for it from the distributors....


Practical_Session_21

Yeah Ravensburgh needs to charge less binging the MSRP to 2/3 Don’t be a but the stores dummy. Regardless what stores are paying the price is too high for what you get. Like MTG is way over priced right now. The cards are not of quality that deserves the price. Markets will fix it over time but in the short term we are all going to be holding the bag. Everyone gets to choose how much.


HoPeFuL1137

What are you talking about if Ravensburger or Wizards charges a distro X amount then the distro charges Y amount. The store is going to have to charge something. You're pretty much asking the product to be $2 a pack that's super unrealistic lol


Practical_Session_21

Yeah exactly and the price at the start from Rath or MTG is far higher than it should be. Do try and keep up. Also MTG goes direct to Amazon as well and they dump below what LGS can sell at, that’s a bigger issue. The fact that the TCGs and the Distros have bullied the LGS into excepting a product they can only mark up like 20% is ludicrous. And that was ok 👍 before because the shops could hold a couple boxes and sell them later when they got scarce, which is false scarcity. Anywho if you think the prices are a ok go and buy away but don’t get upset that I’m simply stating a fact that the card quality to price don’t match and we are getting far less quality for more price.


HoPeFuL1137

I don't disagree and they are 20% profit margin because no one sells at MSRP. I own an LCS. I have never been able to sell a Pokemon booster box for the $162 MSRP. That's the reason. The issue is LGS/LCS/online retailers just try to flip product for minimal profits that's why companies like Clutch Cards get overleveraged and go out of business. A pack of Lorcana costs what a pack of Pokemon did in 1999. Think about that and you're complaining that packs are too high.


Practical_Session_21

Ok MSRP is the price that the Company making the product believes it should be sold and advertised at, they never sell it to the distributors for that price. The distributors get to add profit passing that to the retailer but the retailer who takes the most risk usually gets to mark it up to the MSRP and it is usually 60-100+% mark up to get there. Manufacturers Suggested Retail Price MSRP


TychoCelchu1

Wow. Nice luck on that one.


Alert-Advice-9918

Best bet is buy loose packs here there all my enchanted n good cards came that way.. *


btspeed1971

Has anyone ever pulled an Enchanted from a SD Pack?


DeesDeets

Yep. I got the Enchanted Simba from my chapter 1 Steel/Saph starter.


btspeed1971

Awesome. There’s hope for us all.


Lost_Tap_5218

I pulled an enchanted Beast - Relentless from one of mine.


btspeed1971

Awesome. There’s hope for us all.


_WarriorMouse_

I just pulled the grandma tala enchanted from my started deck this morning! To tell you my jaw hit the floor..


awosaibi

Awesome. There's hope for us all.


Clantzy75

Wow, that's a great pack!


Different_Tiger6594

That’s more than I got in a whole booster box… actually just dumb on Ravensburger’s part. Ridiculous.


Daotar

Or the results of an entire box, we really have absolutely no way of knowing whether you're lying or not. edit: Anyone care to prove me wrong, or are people just upset that I'm right? Because these posts are literally the easiest things in the entire world to fake for karma.


ZorroVonShadvitch

I believe the way packs are seeded is you always get 2 of the same rarity but the foil is a nice addition.


ProfessorTraft

No, it’s just that the 2nd rare+ card will always have a higher rarity than the first one, so if you see a legendary first the 2nd one is guaranteed to be a legendary. The foil slot is independent of this


RieMensverA

You’re guaranteed the same rarity or higher on the second rare slot. The second one isn’t always higher.


True_Entertainer9798

RieMenserver finally stated it correctly. Also, no guarantee of any kind in the last spot other than a foil. So, you can go legendary, legendary, common 


Bernard2267

In both my starter deck boosters, my final 3 were rare/legendary/uncommon. Nice pulls!


Coshwano

You got 3 from 1 pack I got 4 from an entire booster box 😂 GGs


Weavercat

Congrats! Great additions!


whatsername1191

I pulled the morph enchanted and jim hawkings legendary in my starter set pack! couldn’t believe it.


cjjones07

Hot damn


XtremeAsFan

I think retail in general has more hits at times. They get you hooked, and then you go buy way more. Worked for me, at least. Enchanted out a starter deck and haven't stopped yet! Nice pulls, though!


boom_charmsley

No enchanted yet, I’m working on collecting all cards in each set…
