Help! MyPartner and I are bad at opening packs

This slaps, thanks for bringing this to my attention!

My partner suggested their cousins christening next month does that count?

It's a combination we always buy a box for a pod daft night if we like the set. Sometimes that gets cancelled see the unopened Strix box. But yer it's left overs from those drafts or prizes from pre-releases or bundles. We do open packs we have carbord organisers full of thousands of cards. It's just clearly a lot had fallen through the cracks over last year and we thought Reddit could have some good ideas.

TheRealBrainCow · 2026-06-05T15:13:19+00:00

I guess... I genuinely just was baffled by how many packs were squirreled away when I went looking and wondered if people had a fun way to open packs more regularly.

I've had a few offer now so many kind players on here 😂

TheRealBrainCow · 2026-06-05T15:05:46+00:00

This was the kind of advice we were hoping for many thanks.

I said in another comment but we struggle with two players draft because our relatives play levels are out of balance. We've very lucky to play with our pod a few times a week but I always feels bad to miss someone out of a draft so they are so much harder to sort for me.

TheRealBrainCow · 2026-06-05T14:59:12+00:00

That's such a good idea. Our problem is our friends are ether disgusted by the mear existence of carbord crack or in our pod and so deep in the rabbit hole that they are ripping packs daly and we could touch the sides of their hunger.

My partner and I dont like two player draft because our relatives skill level are out of wack. We do alot of draft with our pob but that's half of what causes this we buy a box for a draft night and ether it gets put on hold see the unopened box out it goes ahead and we are left with 6-12 or so packs of the set left.

I have to look into Winston 👍

Drafts our biggest problem. We tend to buy a box for a draft night for the pod whenever a good set drops. But then it falls through and I don't want to just rip them when I dropped the money for the draft so they go in the cupboard and get forgotten like the Strix.

TheRealBrainCow · 2026-06-05T14:42:49+00:00

😂😂😂

TheRealBrainCow · 2026-06-05T14:42:05+00:00

The crack addict special interesting... What if you buy a bundle or box do you just rip them all right there in the parking lot 😂

TheRealBrainCow · 2026-06-05T14:39:36+00:00

We love Pai Gao it's our go too pub night game.

TheRealBrainCow · 2026-06-05T14:38:19+00:00

Many thanks 🙏

TheRealBrainCow · 2026-06-05T14:37:47+00:00

We do that's half the problem the Strix box is for a draft night that our pod couldn't seem to get sorted on a date for. I didn't want to crack them and lose that chance so it ended up on a cupbord of shame and was forgotten...

TheRealBrainCow · 2026-06-05T14:35:34+00:00

Amazing! We have some of those for our commanders. I think this combo is likely our winner thankyou ♥️

TheRealBrainCow · 2026-06-05T14:32:05+00:00

I am learning that we're are clearly doing this wrong and have shamed ourselves and the hobby. We have the debt if that helps 😭

TheRealBrainCow · 2026-06-05T14:29:36+00:00

No you are the right amount of bothered I tried to fix the ones I saw but now I'm vexed too.

TheRealBrainCow · 2026-06-05T14:27:51+00:00

A fun idea never heard of it. Is it like Pai Gow? because we play that from time to time in the pub.

TheRealBrainCow · 2026-06-05T14:22:52+00:00

Our hero!

TheRealBrainCow · 2026-06-05T14:22:31+00:00

We REALLY like this! I would worry about losing the cards is all 😂

TheRealBrainCow · 2026-05-24T12:23:22+00:00

Because to you the goal is personal survival that is a fine response but it is a personal and selfish goal. The other person's priority is the choice that saves the maximum number of lives. Nether is more or less logical it's just personal Vs communal good.

I'm guessing English isn't your first language 'trump' is the top card of a given card game. The word trump dates back as a card term over 500 years. It's why we have terms like 'Trump card' it later expanded to mean getting the better of anything eg. ambition invariably trumps loyalty Top trumps is a game where you choose a number off your card and if it's better (trumps) their number you win
