More EV on DA

Since the last "Crack some packs" went rather well, it seemed like it was time to do it again. Here are the results Pack 1: Diregraf Captain ($1.50) Lost in the Woods ($.50) Ravenous Demon ($.50) Foil Favor of the Woods ($.25) Pack Value= $2.75 It is rough to open 2 rares, a foil, and a money uncommon and only end up at 2.75. Gotta start somewhere I guess. Pack 2: Tragic Slip ($.75) Geralf's Messanger ($10) Pack Value= $10.75 Great pack. Getting the Messanger helps a lot, and the Tragic Slip is a bonus. Pack 3: Tragic Slip ($.75) Seance ($.50) Pack Value=$1.25 Pack 4: Requiem Angel ($.50) Foil Stromkirk Captain ($3.50) Pack Value=$4 Pack 5: Lingering Souls ($2) Increasing Savagery ($.75) Pack Value=$2.75 Pack 6: Drogskul Captain ($2) Zombie Apocalypse ($1) Foil Headless Skaab ($.25) Pack Value=$3.25 Pack 7: Helvault ($1.50) Pack 8: Drogskul Reaver ($5) Stromkirk Captain ($1) Foil Blood Feud ($.50) Pack Value=$6.50 Pack 9: Vault of the Archangel ($4) Foil Stormbound Geist ($.50) Pack Value=$4.50 Pack 10: Strangleroot Geist ($2) Ghoultree ($1.50) Pack Value=$3.50 Pack 11: Diregraf Captain ($1.50) Increasing Confusion ($1.25) Pack Value=$2.75 Pack 12: Beguiler of Wills ($1.50) After opening 3 Mythics in 12 packs, it seems like the odds of getting a Sorin or any other high priced mythic have dropped rather significantly. We decided to stop here, and I will use the rest of the packs for drafting or trading them for different packs. Totals: Packs opened= 12 Expected Value= $42 Total Value= $45 Actual Value per pack=$3.75 Overall it was not bad. It was fun cracking the packs, and in reality, it should help with trading. Mythics are generally pretty easy to trade. I think that I am going to hold onto the Stromkirk Captain Foil, as I figure that as soon as the set stops getting drafting, the supply will sink bigtime. If vampires ever see constructed play, the card will jump bigtime, and if not, it will always be a sweet casual card. I was shocked that we ended up over the EV, based on the fact that there were a lot of dud packs.
