This is an awesome start for the newest addition to the game giving so much value for someone who doesn't have the money to buy a booster box or for the player that wants to have a complete set of art boxes and dice. These boxes always exceed my expectation by having at least 1 mythic rare (in my case) in them with each box I bought happening to have a planeswalker most of the time in one of the booster packs which I got Sorin, Grim Nemesis this time. Now me getting lucky getting rare cards like this is just plane luck but this really is a great box to test your luck on. Now as usual your fat pack comes with a book telling you about all the cards and a list of the top 10 cards to get plus you always get a 20 sided dice which is green this time with two cardboard deck boxes and a amazing art box for your card collection and a bunch of land cards plus the packaging has a nice piece of art on it if you undo it properly you might want to keep it.Just started playing Magic about a month ago. Got 2 deck builder toolkits, a fat pack, some premade decks, and some decks off of craigslist.Just like Pokemon, i live opening the boosters and getting different cards. And, just like pokemon boosters, you get a lot of the same "filler" cards and 1 rare. Similarly, again, some of the "rare" cards are incredibly lame and should not be rare or should not count as "the" rare card in a pack.Several of my packs came with "rare" land as the rare card the isnt much, if any, better than the many dual color lands that came in abundance in the deck builder toolkits i bought.If you are a M:tG fan or love Gothic and Lovecraftian horror, Shadows Over Innistrad is great! The new mechanics of Investigate and Delirium are great for the flavor of horror the set depicts, and Madness is brought back from past sets and used to good effect. Lots of cool double-faced cards, werewolves, and vampires are in the set. And the Fat Pack comes with the Card Encyclopedia and story guide, so players will have SOME idea of what it's all about. But some mysteries remain to be revealed in the next set, Eldritch Moon. I highly recommend the set in general, and the Fat Pack in particular.The fat pack is definitely worth the value. The two deck boxes are just card board but works at holding my spare decks. They can each hold about 70 cards. The card box is nice and durable thick cardboard which works nicely to store all my spare cards. I was a little disappointed that it didn't come with any Colorless Basic Land Cards which were replaced with checklist cards for the double faced cards. I received 2 Mythics and 2 holo's in my booster packs. Overall I would recommend buying this for the new release instead of going out and buying several booster packs.It's exactly what it claims to be. The card box is very nice. I guess that the box will fit about 800-1000 cards or so. I've got the 9 boosters worth of cards that it came with, plus the 80 basic land, plus about 36 booster packs worth of cards.Mine didn't come sealed in WotC-printed cellophane, though. I don't know if that means anything.Fat packs are always worth the buy if they aren't overprice and I found this to be a good deal. They come with 9 booster packs and its always fun to open and have a good chance of getting a rare or mythic rare. Good way to build up collection or decks at a decent cost.I only got standard shipping but it arrived two days early and the slip on the box said two day shipping.I love werewolves and vampires and this set has a bunch of themI like how each shadows over inistrad pack has a double faced card I plan on making a werewolf deck when I hve enough of themI am not loving the new block at this point, but maybe it will grow on me. As far as the content, many uncommons, a few rares, and 1 mythic rare in the fat pack I ordered. Still nothing too amazing. The pavks of land art is no longer full art like in the previous block.The pack was shipped in a shipping bag/envelope, so the corner of my pack was slightly damaged, but no cards were affected by this.Arrived on time, was securely packaged, 100% fine, no damage.Spent ages reading the catalogue and as I opened the packs I realised there was no Sorin Markov for me this timeAccidentally bought the wrong one. Meant to get Eldritch MoonStill liked it anyway. I think this set is a great one and I look how it leads into the Eldritch Moon :)Had a few issues with the contents but this was a manufacturer issue other than that all was wellIl Fat Pack a mio avviso è un buon acquisto se si è interessati a collezionarne le scatole e i D20. Il prezzo è tutto sommato equo per la quantità di pacchetti presenti. Resta valido che se lo si acquista per i pacchetti e basta, è molto più conveniente prenderli sciolti da altri siti.excellent
