In a fit of boredom I cracked open a box of Besieged that I had been saving to draft with friends. I was surprised to find that two-thirds of the packs had two rares each. That’s 60 rares + mythics — opposed to the normal 36 — in one box! In these strange packs the extra rare replaced one of the uncommmons. Has anyone ever come across something like this before? In addition to this luck, I cracked one regular and one foil Tezzeret and finished off my playset of Inkmoth Nexuses. I also got some pretty sweet rares (and a playset of Psychosis Crawler! Sweet!). I must also note the quality of my uncommons did not drop off even though about 24 were replaced by rares. What a lucky box! Mythics (6): Tezzeret, Agent of Bolas, Blightsteel Colossus, Hero of Bladehold, Glissa, the Traitor, Consecrated Sphinx, Praetor’s Counsel Rares (54): 3x Inkmoth Nexus, 2x Bonehoard, 2x Phyrexian Revoker, White Sun’s Zenith, Blue Sun’s Zenith, 2x Phyrexian Vatmother, 2x Phyrexian Crusader, 2x Black Sun’s Zenith, Slagstorm, 2x Green Sun’s Zenith, Decimator Web, 2x Knowledge Pool, 2x Magnetic Mine, 3x Mirrorworks, Myr Turbine, Myr Welder, 4x Psychosis Crawler, 2x Shimmer Myr, 3x Spine of Ish Sah, Thopter Assembly, Titan Forge, 2x Phyrexian Rebirth, Cryptoplasm, 2x Distant Memories, 2x Mitotic Manipulation, Sangromancer, Hellkite Igniter, Red Sun’s Zenith, 3x Creeping Corrosion, 2x Phyrexian Hydra Foils (9): Tezzeret, Agent of Bolas, Knowledge Pool, Melira’s Keepers, Fuel for the Cause, Spire Serpent, Morbid Plunder, Concussive Bolt, Tangle Mantis, Forest Uncommons of note: 2x Sphere of the Suns, 3x Go for the Throat, 2x Lead the Stampede, 4x Signal Pest, 3x Goblin Wardriver, 3x Leonin Relic-Warder, 3x Treasure Mage, 3x Accorder Paladin

Cracked open a box of Mirrodin Besieged. Not bad at all. Two Tezzerets means I can no longer bitch about opening no Planeswalkers. Getting two of the current top money rares isn’t bad either. I think my box was a bit defective since the left edges of many of the cards are slightly damaged, but still, can’t complain. Mythics (5): 2x Tezzeret, Agent of Bolas, 2x Hero of Bladehold, Consecrated Sphinx Rares (31): Inkmoth Nexus, Green Sun’s Zenith, 2x Spine of Ish Sah, Psychosis Crawler, Black Sun’s Zenith, Phyrexian Revoker, Phyrexian Rebirth, White Sun’s Zenith, Mirran Crusader, Bonehoard, Contested War Zone, Slagstorm, 2x Knowledge Pool, Red Sun’s Zenith, Mirrorworks, Galvanoth, Phyrexian Hyrda, 2x Shimmer Myr, Myr Turbine, Cryptoplasm, Mitotic Manipulation, Magnetic Mine, Thopter Assembly, Myr Welder, Creeping Corrosion, Decimator Web, Distant Memories, Hellkite Igniter (not pictured) Foils (9): 1 Kuldotha Flamefiend, 7 crap commons, 1 Plains Uncommons of note: 3x Sphere of the Suns, 3x Go for the Throat, 3x Lead the Stampede, 2x Signal Pest, 2x Corrupted Conscience, 3x Goblin Wardriver, 3x Leonin Relic-Warder, 2x Treasure Mage
