ironically my packs were so bad that they made my deck super consistent and i tied for 1st. my packs were all low rarity and had a bunch of doubles so i was essentially playing a constructed deck
I opened no hits out of my packs and only got two eggs. I’m really good at prerelease formats though so I ended up getting second place. I only lost to the guy who pulled Rapid X, valk ace, vike ace, and dinobee in his six packs. There was no winning that. I bought six boxes and got really unfortunate luck. Three of my boxes had double alt arts which would have been great in any set but this one. I only ended up with two Rapid X and one Magna X. I got lucky with trades though and got an alt Rapid X and an alt Magna X after all was said and done. I still didn’t pull a playset of every super though. Only one Doru and one Tyrant. Crazy ratios this set.
I messed up twice in pre-release. Forgot about mantaraymon's source trashing, so I lost blocker on one turn. Then, I forgot about Valkyrie Ace getting its extra security check until the end of the control player's turn. It ended up costing me two matches, so I'm a bit frustrated.
I'm assuming you mean alt art? They started putting stars on the bottom right of the cards to signify alt arts now. So it's really easy to tell without having to know anything about what the alt arts look like.
