"The Mythic Streak: A Thorny Guy Part 2"

It is now September 25 , 2019 and I keep on wondering if the Mythic streak will finally end tonight.
So I bought 2 packs. If you consider it. A box of Magic Cards contains 36 boosters and among them might be 4-5 Mythic rarity cards which puts the odds at 13%(ugh Math!!!) when you randomly choose a pack in a box of 36. Almost 1 pack out of 10 packs might have a Mythic in them. So I don't know how things aligned for me to be able to open one every week. All I know is that I am thankful.
It reminds me of that time that I was opening packs upon packs of Battle For Zendikar in my search for the elusive Expedition lands. And I would not end up opening a single exped land or mythic. Damn.
With that horrible thought I started opening my 2 packs knowing full well that the streak could end tonight. My first pack yielded a Marauding Raptor. Very good in that Polyraptor deck I always wanted to do but it was not a mythic. Could this be the end I asked fate?
And then this Thorny Guy came to my rescue one more time. My 2nd Cavalier of Thorns telling fate Not today. The streak continues on it's 5th week.
