My decision to buy another 100 Steemmonsters beta packs paid off. 5 legendary summoners in no more than 52 packs... What are the odds??!!

Source 1 - Source 2
FOMO
No matter how aware I am of artificially created FOMO, I still fell victim. It had been creeping up on me since a week or two, up until yesterday, when I simply couldn't resist anymore. I finally gave in and purchased 100 Steemmonsters beta tokens on Steem-Engine.
I think the Legendary and Alchemy potion are way too expensive to use on reward cards, but I had seen their power before, and decided I would go that little extra mile and purchase the DEC I was short to buy them.
I actually managed to fool myself when I planned to no open all packs at once - maybe save some tokens for later - but the @steemmonsters / Splinterlands gods had other plans in store.
After opening the first 30 packs, I was completely lost. I hΓ‘d to know what the other packs would give me.

One Card To Rule Them All!!!!
First pack I opened had a Hydra in it. It must have been a sign. π
In the next 19 packs, I found some common gold foils, a gold foil Malric Inferno and Peaceful Giant and no less than 2 Death Legendary 'Lord Of Darkness'-cards. Good, but not great... yet.
When I opened pack 21, there he was.... my beloved Prince Rennyn. I love that card almost as much as I love Valnamor.

I did buy myself a level 3 when it was still priced under 10 bucks, and over the months I treated myself to 2 level 1 cards, but maxing it was simply too expensive. So ever since card delegations were released, I've been leasing a level 4. Not cheap either... but I'm simply not good enough to do without him. Lol, I can't even get into top 50 wΓth the legendary summoners... let alone without them. π
So... back to the pack opening... pack 21: Prince Rennyn. I was over the moon!
I guess I don't have to tell you how crazy things got when I opened pack 28 and found this:

Another Prince Rennyn!
I jumped for joy and shared my excitement in our Team Possible Discord channel. All of a sudden, having my own maxed one came into the picture. I already had a level 3 and 2 singles. With the two I pulled, I was only 2 cards away...

Only 3 packs and 4 minutes later, the impossible happened....

Pack 31:

Insane!!!!
3 Prince Rennyns in 32 packs. It felt like I was dreaming and could wake up any time.

But - believe it or not - the party wasn't over yet...
I have no idea what I did to deserve such a truckload of luck. I must have been a saint in a previous life, I guess... π
Pack 51:

Source
Yeah, baby!!!
There was number 4! No need to go out there and pay another $36 to have my owned maxed Prince Rennyn! I got it... I f***ing got it!!!!
What are the odds?
I remember buying 100 packs a couple of months ago, because I had seen a comment by @aggroed in the Mav's House Discord room in which he stated that you should get at least 1 legendary summoner in - ... I forgot the exact number - something like 75 packs.
Now I got 4 in only 51 packs!! WoOt WoOt!!!
And then...
...wait for it....
...wait for it....
Tadaaa!
The next pack (pack 52):

A Plado Emberstorm as a cherry on the cake.
I could hardly believe it. 5 legendary summoners in just 52 packs. The Steemmonsters gods were really on my side...

More
Of course, nothing can beat the 5 legendary summoners - but next to those, I got some more swéét cards.
2 x LOD
2 x Hydra
3 Gold foil summoners, which I needed badly: Malric Inferno, Zintar Mortalis and Tyrus Palladium
2 x my favorite Neutral card, Magi Sphinx
Some cool Neutral (and other) gold foils
And maybe even more important: almost enough summoners, commons, rares and epics to set up the level 3/4 account I've been meaning to set up for a while, so it can be delegated to my fellow Team Possible members. However, I do need some more legendaries before I can make that happen.
Who knows... maybe in the next set of packs... π
I do need to wait a bit, though - after this insane pull, my expectations are up way too high! I mean... I can't expect to pull 5 legendary summoners every 50 packs, right?!
Bottom line is that my investment paid off... big time!

Stay Tuned
I'm thinking about running another delegation contest so I can share a bit of my luck with others by offering some free delegations for the next season.
But before I do so, I need to handle a couple of things, like announce the winner for my garden contest, which is way overdue.
All I can say is: Stay Tuned!!!

OOOOOooooh, look who's the little monster who got addicted :D
I always knew you were a card lady Mike :p
Good luck. I got a red devil that floats and has a flaming bottom that people seem to think it's nice, but I only bought 1 pack - so maybe I was also lucky.
Cheers

Yes, I did get married :D
I haven't left, I just was inactive due to always having stuff to do, I've been reading updates and seeing how things go - and investing my interest of course.

Congrats on the marriage! I'm a bit late to the party, but I really thought you had left entirely.
Glad to hear I was wrong:0)

Nevah! I had to pay for the wedding remember? And God knows Steem wouldn't help, so I had to quit hanging around here and go for more teaching time.
But I did it, that's what counts.

Congrats man that is awesome.
I keep buying packs, but have never hit a GF Legendary (packs or rewards) and only 1 Legendary summoner in 296 beta packs. I have a feeling after that pull, my chances are actually worse since you took them all. Guess that means a level 4 is about to open on the rental market huh?

Congrats! But c'mon, for someone buying so many packs a bit of luck is certainly well deserved. Now I feel like getting back into the game. Still got my cards, but renting them out is proving to be quite profitable. Actually I'm thinking about spending the money earned on selective cards... to put them up for rent! But this way I won't get to play...
