With Bloomburrow season having started on MTG Arena, it was time yesterday to buy some of the new packs with the gold I have been accumulating in the last few weeks.

I basically start saving my gold about a month before a new set so that I can more quickly build up a collection of cards from the new set. Doing so in Arena also allows me to earn points towards Golden Packs.

Wizards introduced these digital-only packs back in late 2022. Each comes with six cards, all of which will be rare or mythic from a current Standard-legal set. At least one will be mythic. The remaining five all have an independent chance of being mythic as well (1 in 8 odds).

Below is is the one that I cracked open yesterday:

Six mythics! I’ve never seen that before. At best, I have had three. You can imagine that I sat up when I saw this. But which eight would they be?

Here is what I ended with once all those cards had been flipped face up:

I am going to see if I can build a Standard Izzet deck. The two Otter Wizards are likely to go into it. I am curious to see how both cards perform. Stormsplitter could prove quite powerful especially paired with Bria, Riptide Rogue as any token created would then also have Prowess. Kitsa could be fun as well but I’ll need to find a way to pump up her power to be able to use her second ability.

Anyways, all this to say that it’s always nice to crack open a pack with six Mythics!
