You will need 3 on average. Some times more depending on your luck.

I wish I had your luck. I ordered two starters and three cases and I'm missing 4 US and two UK rares. I was pretty sure I wouldn't get a complete set.

What really torques my jaw is I only got three Fletchers out of the three cases. I thought Fletchers were common's. They are! So what happened to the Fletchers?

I wound up with three Fletchers out of a case and a starter. This one is going to really put the squeeze on a lot of peoples wallets though...

I got lucky so far

1 case, 2 Staters, and only missing 10 rares that I will buy separately.
Oh, forgot I got 2 other from E-bay tonight, so I am missing only 8 rares.

Most of them à $10US, plus shipping, well I will not need any other case and will save to buy uncommon and common to built my Armada.

10 rares at $10.00 a peice, thats the price of another case. I think I'd take the chance.
