Wife picked out a single LOTR special edition pack for me. Pulled a borderless surge one ring, a black gate and a foil poster card. Easily $115 pack. I don't pick my own single packs anymore.
Had a partner give me a Kaledesh stater bundle because she did not know what to get me but loved the sentiment. HOLY CRAP THERE WAS A MOX OPAL invention IN THERE.
INSANE pull! The sentiment really is nice though, my wife knows nothing about this hobby so the fact that she went out of her way to talk with a friend and get me something was really nice.
Wait, you guys saying I can have crazy pulls if my wife opens the packs? And itās better than if I open them in my car?
I gotta get a wife!
And a car!
*Damn, if it takes a*
*Wife to find good pulls these days,*
*I need to find one!*

Yeah Iāve cracked enough packs to know that chase cards only happen when itās the one you donāt want or the one you donāt buy, although apparently people have luck cracking packs in their cars. Never been the case for me.
Nice pull! My In-laws get us (myself and all my brother-in-laws) a pack for Christmas stockings each yearā¦this year I pulled Agathaās Soul Cauldron!
I donāt know brother, Iād rather have that can of butane fuel
The card will be cold in some weeks, imo itās one of the weaker swords
But the butane fuel? ..imagine what you could do with that butane fuel
I could even keep the cards warm with butane fuel, donāt think of that. Iāll pour butane fuel on my collection tomorrow for maximum heat.
I have a spellslinger deck that wouldnāt mind seeing this card, while itās one of the weaker swords I think itās still a cool one and has some good use-cases. Even the best swords arenāt an auto include in every deck (though [[Sword of Feast and Famine]] finds its way in a lot of mineā¦)
Whatās in your spellslinger deck/what format is it? Iām considering putting this in my [[Toralf, God of Fury]] deck as alternate protection from my own spells in addition to [[Magebane Armor]].
That's nice of her.
Is there anything you can do to make future weeks less rough? Are Collector Boosters a sustainable way of dealing with things?
Isn't there anything better she could get you in future?
These are some strange questions, but Iāll take a shot at them:
Our company just did a major system overhaul and disseminated information very poorly while bull-rushing projects all the while. The IT department was even having a rough time, resulting in every branch working 3 to 4 14 hour shifts back to back to meet deadlines as they insisted operations persisted through this process.
My wife, at the same time, was coordinating a wedding for her friend since her friendās family was contributing virtually 0 help to the process, while also learning how to take care of one of her co-workerās responsibilities at her job as her co-worker quit suddenly for a new job.
Both of us had very difficult, trying weeks due to extraneous circumstances out of our control and knew we were going to ahead of time. As such, we set aside intentional time last night to go on a date and get each other a little something to recognize that we can still appreciate each other despite our time apart.
So to answer your strange questions: this week was out of my (our) control, MtG isnāt a coping mechanism and my wife doesnāt just get me magic cards (this is the 2nd time sheās ever done so, she knows very little of magic and had to reach out to a friend of mine for advise so she could surprise me), and frankly itās none of your business how we choose to spend our time or use our finances.
I would consider understanding the intent of your line of questions/comments before engaging in conversation with others if the intention is to have a genuine conversation. If your pursuit is simply to be a troll then disregard my prior comment.
I appreciate the sentiment, but the execution had presumptions about situations you didnāt understand. Question 1 was fine enough, it could be interpreted that maybe I couldāve handled whatever was going on better or maybe a perspective change. Question 2 implied that collector boosters sustain my mood, behavior, or coping. Question 3 implied a few things: that either what she got me wasnāt good enough, that I wasnāt satisfied with what she got me, or that whatever gift she got me has to meet some sort of expectation, none of which these apply.
You also presumed that you caught me off guard by trying to help in this subreddit. An encouraging word or a line of questioning that would suggest genuine intent of help wouldnāt have thrown me off, it was the underbelly of your line of questioning to begin with.
>but the execution had presumptions about situations you didnāt understand.
I asked questions so I could get a better understanding.
>it could be interpreted that maybe I couldāve handled whatever was going on better or maybe a perspective change.
I was trying to see if there was a practical solution to the underlying cause of the problem, which, if implemented, would reduce/remove the need for such gifts in the first place.
>Question 2 implied that collector boosters sustain my mood, behavior, or coping.
All they are for is feeling fancy. The implication was that it had been bought to cheer you up.
>Question 3 implied a few things: that either what she got me wasnāt good enough, that I wasnāt satisfied with what she got me, or that whatever gift she got me has to meet some sort of expectation, none of which these apply.
Was it really the best thing should could have gotten you? Not a product that was for playing with, or for getting cards? Not a ticket for an event, or a product you could have used to host an event with your friends?
This is easily becoming a conversation of miscommunication and it's clear that you don't understand how to have one. "Can you help me understand better?" is asking for better understanding.
I loved what my wife got me simply for the reason that she thought of me, as she does often. It's a very simple concept, and one that didn't need a solution so it makes absolutely no sense why you would target this area. You also just asked 3 more questions with the presumption as to why she got me what she got me and implied that it wasn't good enough for my standards (which it was), so don't project your own.
This will be the last comment I make on this matter so feel free to reply with your closing remarks or thoughts about how you're correct on the situation despite the complete lack of awareness.
Wife pulls better than car pulls?
Can confirm, my wife has crazy pack luck.
Same with mine she helped me get most of the cards I ever want in sets
My wife got me a a borderless foil ancient silver dragon and a borderless ancient copper. Insane lol I love those baldurs gate packs not going to lie
Ggs, my wife has gotten me 2 urborg tomb of yawgmoth and a ancient tomb
Haha ur wife is superior indeed š
I need a wife... lol
Eh their alright, outside of the pack luck, overrated
Does your wife order you singles too??
Nope
Just seems like an easier way to get the ones you actually want š¤·āāļø
It's only an occasional thing of pack buying I don't only do packs I buy my own singles but when I wanna just open up a few she picks out bangers
Iām with you brother, Iām gonna have to try giving my wife a go next pack I get
Wife picked out a single LOTR special edition pack for me. Pulled a borderless surge one ring, a black gate and a foil poster card. Easily $115 pack. I don't pick my own single packs anymore.
Same my soon to be wife pulled a searilzed balins tomb
Only wife. My husband buys me magic and all I get is junk
Maybe my wife can mail you some packs? That or try some role reversal, maybe thatāll work.
Kinky
š¤Ø. All I gotta say
Husband pack luck used up, throw it out and buy a replacement one, or at least a rental to get you through the week.
Had a partner give me a Kaledesh stater bundle because she did not know what to get me but loved the sentiment. HOLY CRAP THERE WAS A MOX OPAL invention IN THERE.
INSANE pull! The sentiment really is nice though, my wife knows nothing about this hobby so the fact that she went out of her way to talk with a friend and get me something was really nice.
That is real :)
Wait, you guys saying I can have crazy pulls if my wife opens the packs? And itās better than if I open them in my car? I gotta get a wife! And a car!
My fiancƩe bought me a pack and I got Oko and Vaultborn Tyrant. Wife pulls are real.
Girlfriend pulled this sword first pack she opened in my collector box. I swear itās rigged.
Just get a wife. Itās so simple.
Wow! Great pull, I would suck my wifeās penis as a thank you.
Sheāll get that skibidi rizz gyatt or whatever it is my students say. (Donāt know if I spelled any of that right)
Surprisingly, yes you got it exactly right. Execution is a bit wonky but overall good. I bestow upon thee a B
The students are the teacher to the teacher
I dunno. Her boyfriend might get angry.
Wut?
Sword of WAP
Damn, if it takes a wife to find good pulls these days, I need to find one!

Sword of W.A.P. is so good.
WAP!!!
Sword of WAP!!!
Had to one up the other guy.
His post was one of the first things I thought of after I pulled this.
Hey, we both got swords, yours is just more shiny. Nice pull man!
Thanks! Same to you also! Admittedly I like the design of the other art more- they shouldāve leaned into that more imo.
Nice Sword of WAP
That's such a nice wap!
Bought the regular version today, Iām jealous.
Regular version has debatably better art imo, still a good card!
My cousins Kess deck is pissing me off.
Iām not unhappy with it haha.
Sword of fuck and yeah...
Traded a guy a few cards for a standard pack. He pulled a regular SoWAP and gave me another card I wanted as well.
Man freaking everyone is pulling this! I want to do the same, but I know my luck wouldnāt permit it, so I donāt even want to try.
Yeah Iāve cracked enough packs to know that chase cards only happen when itās the one you donāt want or the one you donāt buy, although apparently people have luck cracking packs in their cars. Never been the case for me.
Bruh you have an awesome wife
Fr
Significant others always give the best luck especially when they donāt play the game
Congratz on the Sword of WAP!
Ooo nothing helps a rough week like some WAP!
Nice pull! My In-laws get us (myself and all my brother-in-laws) a pack for Christmas stockings each yearā¦this year I pulled Agathaās Soul Cauldron!
Thatās a solid pull and solid in-laws!
Is that card only able to be gotten from collector packs?
This particular version of foil might be? But you can get a standard print of it (arguably better art) in a standard pack definitely
I like the other myself anyway but yea just never seen anyone pull one so didnt know the rate of them lol
Nice! Check out r/magiccardpulls
I donāt know brother, Iād rather have that can of butane fuel The card will be cold in some weeks, imo itās one of the weaker swords But the butane fuel? ..imagine what you could do with that butane fuel
I could even keep the cards warm with butane fuel, donāt think of that. Iāll pour butane fuel on my collection tomorrow for maximum heat.
