Ah ok, that explains it then. It really threw me off. Also made my box a little annoying to open since I had to set the top few cards aside (and if there was a foil I saw the rare first anyways).
So I cracked open my box on Wednesday, had a pretty good box for once too (I have historically had abysmal luck with boxes), so this is certainly not a complaint about that.
But I did notice something odd as I was opening it.
First, I didn't hit any of my mythics until basically the end of the box. I pulled a foil Narset about halfway through, but nothing in the actual rare/mythic slot until the last like..6 packs maybe? I mean, it happens sure and I still pulled an average number of mythics so eh just used to seeing a few earlier on I guess.
The thing I noticed that was really odd was the way my cards were actually set within the packs. They were all, basically, in the wrong order. It went token, land, foil (if there was one), rare and then uncommons and commons. I was kind of annoyed as I was opening them because I like the rare being last because, obviously. I haven't bought a ton of sealed recently (wasn't big into a lot of the sets) so I thought maybe it was just a new thing I missed out on, but watching online box openings and the packs in those are all normal.
So what's the deal?
Like I said, it was a good box, opened a lot of stuff I wanted, some good value, I couldn't be more pleased really (well, maybe a tiny but but that's being greedy). Has anyone else noticed this, is it just me, does it mean anything?
