I got kinda lucky when pulling EX/ Lv. X cards at times. The only time I had bad luck is when I won a full booster box, picked the Great Encounters booster box because it was released around that time, and I really was hoping to pull a Lv. X of Darkrai, or at least another Lv. X, but I opened all boosters, not a single Lv. X. Bad luck I had then...
Same with trying to pull a Darkrai EX on my own. I bought many Dark Explorers boosters, and of Legendary Treasures too, pulled a lot of EX cards, not a single one was the Darkrai. At least I had one from the store nearby, but still lacking the full art.
Funny, now that I'm talking about that store. I went to there a while ago, and bought a Hydreigon EX full art there. A week later, bought two boosters. What do I pull out? Hydreigon EX full art. Got it double now, but I like the pokemon.
I'm more of a collector when it comes to Pokemon cards. I used to play tournament in my country, but... I had problems with getting to where the tournaments were hold. I must be one of the unlucky people that has to buy cards in secret, because my parents don't like me buying these.
But I consider myself lucky that I can still get some good cards at times, in design, meaning.
Now going to wait until I can get my hands on a Sceptile EX tin.
