Last of the tribals so buy them up. That’s what I’m doing anyways. Love the new planeswalkers being able to flip. Not sure why reanimate with the planeswalkers isn’t a thing yet. It’s harder to bring back and planeswalker from the graveyard but this allows it to be a creature and creature reanimation is much easier. Pretty sure some of these walkers will be broken soon.

What can I say? I received a box of cards in new condition.
I’m not really thrilled with Origins though. I didn’t get any extremely good cards, but it’s typically a matter of luck. That has more to do with WotC, not the seller. This release just isn’t anything to brag about. It’s not the worst but it also will not go down as one of the best either.

Great sets I like the mechanic in this one and I got 2 out of five planeswalker plus 3 mytics really nice and received on time
Dan Pilone –
Does what it says, gives you a lot of cards to get started building decks for a decent enough price.

There are few things that bring me closer to my childhood than opening a pack of cards, leafing through, and then wondering what could be in that next pack. Although the Amazon price is not the lowest I have found for this product–Channel Fireball sells the same booster box for $89.99–I was quite pleased with my purchase. I pulled one mythic rare in the first nine packs. The next day, I hit a hot spot in the middle of the box and got three mythic rares in five packs. I did not hit another hot spot until the end of the box, when I pulled two more mythic rares in three packs. In all, I definitely got what I paid for and then some. Here is a brief list of some of the cards I got that are worth more than a dollar:
Jace, Vryn’s Prodigy (Mythic)
Nissa, Vastwood Seer (M)
Archangel of Tithes (M)
Disciple of the Ring FOIL (M)
Pyromancer’s Goggles (M)
Alhammarret’s Archive (M)
Erebos’s Titan (M)
Thopter Spy Network (R)
Evolutionary Leap (R)
Sword of the Animist (R)
Managorger Hydra (R)
Harbinger of the Tides (R)
Sphinx’s Tutelage (U) (two copies)
Tragic Arrogance (R)
Dwynen, Gilt-Leaf Daen (R)
Knight of the White Orchid (R)
Herald of the Pantheon (R)
Caves of Koilos (R)
Dwynen’s Elite (U) (two copies)
I know that luck of the draw determines what you get, but as a first-time MTG card purchaser, I am also pleased that I am missing fewer than thirty-five cards to complete the set. I am debating whether to purchase another booster box in hopes of pulling a Kytheon, Liliana, and Hangarback Walker or buying them as singles, along with the rest of the missing cards. (I pulled a Chandra in a Fat Pack.) Given the fun I had opening my first box, I will probably opt for the former.
UPDATE: I did buy another box, and I bought it from Amazon (to get more points on my Amazon credit card). I got almost all the cards I was missing after my initial purchases of a booster pack, Fat Pack, and Booster Box. In this box, I pulled nine foil cards, and as I had done in my initial review, the following were the best cards:
Liliana, Heretical Healer (M)
Hangarback Walker (R)
Abbot of Keral Keep (R)
Exquisite Firecraft (R)
Day’s Undoing (M)
Goblin Piledriver (R)
Languish (R)
Woodland Bellower (M)
Sword of the Animist (R)
Evolutionary Leap (R)
Animist’s Awakening (R)
Managorger Hydra (R)
Thopter Spy Network (R)
Harbinger of the Tides (R)
Shaven Reef (R)
Sphinx’s Tutelage (U)
Dwynen, Gilt-Leaf Daen (R)
Battlefield Forge (R)
Pia and Kiran Nalaar (R)
Shaman of the Pack (U)
The Great Aurora (M)
Willbreaker FOIL (R)
Bounding Krasis FOIL (U)
Swift Reckoning FOIL (U)
This is becoming an addiction. Now that my set is complete (after ordering singles online), I will have to find an excuse to buy another box.

This set was pretty cool, but not fantastic

Just what it says on the tin – 36 booster packs of Magic Origins. Newbies should beware that Wizards is in the odious habit of including a basic land card as one of the 15 in each pack, but it does give a chance for foil basic land cards. I received 4 mythic rares in the box, which I think is about average.
AJN –
It’s a booster box (36 packs) of MTG Origins cards. Overall I enjoyed this set – the backstories of the planeswalkers and the decision to show key events of those stories make this one of the better core sets (and I guess the last…).

Happy with product

Magic Origins Booster Box came promptly, and seemed in good shape. I opened first pack it seemed normal, but when I opened the second pack all of the cards in the pack had a “dent”/”bend” in the bottom left corner by the artist’s name. Hangerback Walker was the rare, I was upset that it was one of the top 5 priced non-foils in the set, priced at $7.84 at time of pulling it. Its not too pricey, but was excited to pull a card I wanted. I was nervous that rest of packs were damaged as well. Opened the rest of the packs and didnt come across anything else with the severity of the one said damaged pack. I don’t know how the pack could have been damaged that badly considering that it was the second pack from the top middle of box. This could have been done during the manufacturing of cards by Wizards of the Coast, taking that pack was in middle row and under top booster pack.
