I've noticed Agate Talisman and Perfectionist always appear in the same pakc, in spots 3-5. # other commons alwayds appeared together, need to look at my pile to see what that was. Uncommons only groping together ala Wash/Abbot did in 3rd edition was showing up in the 7 total I opened. Old Friends is listed as a common. I have one out of 7 boxes. 1 Cog in 7 boxes FYI.

And basically, there seems to be a randomizing issue with the Commons. I really had the feeling that I had the same box twice. Regards, Haryd Range

[ quoted text not captured ] 16 rares, duplictaed over 2 boxes. Yeah, i REALLY wanted those 2 6th trads, and no cogs. Woooho,,, um no...

[ quoted text not captured ] I don't know what's wrong with you guys. I've pulled 3 or 4 in around 3.5 boxes. Maybe you should try being lucky! Matt Morgan

Maybe you should try being lucky! > > Matt Morgan I tried it and it didn't work. 2 boxes, no Enkil Cog, but really that's the least of my troubles when I'm pulling one of a given common per box sometimes such as the Old Friends 1 in 7 by Obtenebration. Some of these new commons are rarer than rares. Good thing I pulled some Sengir Daggers though. Hot damn that's a sight for sore eyes.

[ quoted text not captured ] Together with some friends I opened 16 boxes. Rarity distribution was fine, with a very even distribution of rares and uncommons for everyone. For some boxes I took notes of the rares. In all those boxes we had 36 different rares. Generelly I think it is a good idea to "pool" your boxes with some friends. I have done this for years. Normally we put all the rares together and distribute them evenly, depending on the sets the uncommons and vampires as well. This really saves a lot of trading... Kind regards, Marcus

[ quoted text not captured ] I'm guessing Enkil Cog is on the corner of the rare sheet, much like preternatural strength was for Lords of the Night. Some good evidence for Old Friends to be on the corner as well (a-la Street Cred) If this is the case there are not fewer of them out there, just someone is getting a nice concentration in their boxes. Hopefully me. Somehow I have failed to get around to opening my two boxes of boosters that have taunted me from my dining room table. I'll try to get around to it and see if I can see similar patterns. -John

[ quoted text not captured ] Guys, guys, c'mon! You say South America like if this was a black hole, where cards go and never return!! Of course I can trade some of the 6 ECs from the single box I opened! Dan, still waiting for Brazillian customs good will releasing KoT...

Enkil is on an edge (other cards on the same edge: Unmasking, Charisma, Anarch Troublemaker, Aaron's Feeding Razor, Blood Weakens, Specialization, New Management, Renegade Garou, and NRA PAC).

On Dec 12, 10:13 am, "Matthew T. Morgan" <farq...@io.com> wrote: [ quoted text not captured ] It's not lucky. It's actually very unlucky. But I should say that overall the distribution was decent for me rare-wise. It's more of a not enough blue sprinkles on my doughnut complaint. It's always better to pull say an Enkil Cog rather than a Sixth Tradition, even if that Sixth Tradition was one of only two or three crappy rares.

[ quoted text not captured ] None of which I have opened. Maybe in the next box. Thanks for that insight into the printing, it is appreciated. I have got either 2 or 3 hearts of cheating and mind rapes - that's a big huzzah! best - chris

[ quoted text not captured ] I got 2 6ths in my 2 boxes. As well as 3 Justicar votes, and a bunch of other stuff I've had too many of since i bought my first box of Jyhad in 1994. But I am still reasonably happy with it overall. I didn't get only a couple of new rares that I wanted, and some simple trading with some friends fixed most of that. Except the Cogs. No one would trade Cogs (probably because they only had 1 each themselves...) [ quoted text not captured ]

I've got: Aaron's Feeding Razor, Blood Weakens, Specialization, New Management, Renegade Garou, NRA PAC and Enkil Cog in one box. Only 5 vampires were doubled from the whole box.

Wow... so one of my boxes was totally edge: In order of boosters opened, starting with the 10th booster down on the lef side of the box I received: Charisma, Anarch Troublemaker, Aaron's Feeding razor, Blood Weakens, Enkil Cog, Specialization, New Management, Renegade Garou, and NRA PAC and unmasking appeared later on. In both boxes of boosters commons were organized into repeated 5 card sets. Commons never appeared outside of these sets, and always in the same order. Not a terrible thing for commons I guess but if its indicative throughout the set, it will make drafting interesting. Vampires appear to be occuring in runs of the same order, although not always in sync. (Eg in one booster received A,B,C next received D,E,F.... later in box vampires were B,C,D, then E,F,G etc). Makes for less duplicate vamps I guess. I'm also noticing common strings of rares in order. Will know more once I finish recording the booster contenets for my second box. -John P. Winnipeg
