*If you want my quick thoughts on this see bottom*Ok here we go, I have played magic on the computer for a while now and am a huge fan, and decided that it is time that I get myself some physical cards. So I ordered lots of m14 as it comes out next week. While searching I found these 1000+ boxes, and I said what the hell i will try it out.This product was a open package with cards stuffed wrapped in two plastic bags ... things did not look good. No cards were damaged and maybe 6 of them fell out because I received 996 but thats no big deal ... still a lot of damn cards. Here is what I ended up with 319 "other year" cards ... and 667 cards from gatecrash. I was really pleased by this because I can use these in standard decks!So to sum what I got and duplicates up quick, first off only commons and uncommons ... and I say it is about 2/3 common. The most creature duplicates were 7 and those were from gatecrash which I had 70+ cards of each color. I got 117 keyrune 72 gaterunes and nearly 200 of the multicolored cards (in total about 12 different cards).The red and green from gatecrash though are totally worth it! I got lots of good stuff that I will use in matches, not mention the other multicolored cards as well. For the other sets (there four other notable block sets) There was only two 5 repeats and 1 6 repeat. I am extremely happy. So in the end, yes I got repeats, some around 30 cards, but these are cards I put in all my decks so it really makes since to get the copies I did of the extra ones.Lastly, I got 14 unlimited cards in my set. It is not like they worth a bunch or anything but they are pretty cool to have.*All in all, for a player that had no cards prior to this, this was an awesome investment. It gave me a nice base for cards to use this year in standard. With a few booster packs I will have many nice decks ready to go and to have with me. For 20.00 this was a good investment, not only for the modern but also for some of the old cards that really are complete decks minus lands and a few rare cards!If you are not into older cards/collecting, have tons of magic cards (modern day), or are looking for a cheap way to get rares/mythic rares this is not for you. If you are a beginner and don't have many base card (cheap to cast, instants, keys, gates, etc..), like to collect cards, or just have 20.00 to spend this is a great and fun thing to do. I will be ordering again soon!
