GREAT luck with M11; Read on for pure luckness

So, there is a thread so people can tell what they've pulled lately in different products. But I thought my luck with M11 should have it's own thread. Some people always have the luck, and you'll see them, with every set released, pull great card after great card.

Then there are people like me. I started back into M:tG back at the WWK Pre-Release. Then, I started buying M10, ZEN, and WWK packs. I never got ANYTHING. I think the best I ever got with those three products were quite a few dual-lands and a Garruk Wildspeaker. And an Eldrazi Monument at a Pre-Release.

Now, a lot of the cards I got were decent, and the lands I got were pretty awesome, as was the Garruk. But what I mean when I couldn't pull anything, was I couldn't pull any one of the 'big money' cards, a la 'Jace, the Mind Sculptor', 'Gideon Jura', 'Vengevine', or of course, M10's 'Baneslayer Angel'.

Now to the meat of the story. Since M11 has been out, I've bought 3 Fat Packs and I would guess about 30-40 single packs at Wal-Mart (you know, the ones that are packed individually into those hard-to-open blisters).

Here's what I've opened so far:

In Blister Packs:

FOIL Baneslayer Angel
Regular Baneslayer Angel
TWO Primeval Titans
Jace Beleren

In Fat Packs:

Birds of Paradise
Garruk Wildspeaker
Ajani Goldmane
Frost Titan
Red and two White Leyline's
Platinum Angel

I opened the Foil BSA one night, and the other one, the next night. I was completely speechless.

Now some of those aren't worth a whole lot, monetarily wise, but the BSA's and two Primeval Titan's? Craziness. I opened the Primeval Titans, both of them, before I even knew what they were worth. I'm really glad I didn't trade them for crap rares.

Your thoughts on my luck? I'm thinking about cleaning out another WM of their singles, but I'm sure my luck isn't going to last.

I just thought I would share an amazing few days with you all.

Sorry, I have friends who were eyewitness to someone opening a dual-jace (one was foil) pack when new jace first came out.

I do have to say, that's some nice pull. I cannot comment myself however. Our M11 unboxing at my friends place was huge. A total of about 6 booster boxes. Saw 3 Primeval Titans pulled (including a foil) along with multiple baneslayers, and lots of leylines and other things.

Sorry Shadow, but I never said 'Hey guys, I had the best pulls ever in the history of Magic'. I said 'I had the best luck I'VE ever had in any Magic product'. It would be amazing to see two Jace's come out of one pack, yeah, but that's not what my thread is about.

In other news, I pulled one foil BSA one day, and a regular one the next day. Well, the day after THAT, I decided to try my luck again, even though I thought my luck was going to have to eventually run out.

What happened you ask? I pulled TWO MORE BSA's!!!! That's not three BSA's in three days, but four in three days.

After not having any luck in any other product since I got back into Magic, M11 has been REAL good to me. I'm starting to think that BSA is an Uncommon. I'm not buying anymore packs right now, aside from splitting a box with two friends in a few weeks, because I'm really afraid my luck will run out, but damn, I'll never forget M11 for as long as I live.
