Does anyone know the true rarity for Seterpenre? It was brought up
when LotN was new and there was never an official answer that I saw.
He seems to be roughly twice as scarce as the other crypt cards. Would
that make him R2?

Strange. I opened two boxes and got 1 copy of Seterpenre, but 2
Preternatural Strength. I must have got a wonky batch.
Thanks,

I think chris "librarian" had the same problem, along with many other
people. Who has my 3x Seterpenres? ;P

I opened about a box and a half worth of boosters over time. I have
six copies of the super-anarch seterpenre! So to answer your question,
"who has my 3x Seterpenre?" I think I do! : )

Too late, traded for some out of print rares with Ian a while back.
It's a good card, I hope it's re-printed in a starter.

There was a Settite and an Assamite (Jubal?) of which there were only 1 for
every 2 other vamps. Seriously. I don't remember who it was, but it was
there. I opened up over 10 boxes of LotN I think, and that was what I found.

Yeah, and no for, dom, or AUS. I think I've played him exactly once.
Woo +1 bleed and conditional +1 strength!

p.s., thanks Andy for the extra cards. They've been helpful to our
play group.

Well Scott, math doesn´t lie, as you well know.
And contrary to mainstream republican belief, reality is not bias.
If any statistical study shows that Senterpenre is less likely to show
up in boosters than most vampires of the same edition, he is "more
rare".
I've got limited experience in opening LotN booster boxes (only 3) so
I can only say that everybody complains about the same and that has
happend to me.
5-6 of almost every vamp; 2-3 Senterpenre.
Next time we do a draft, I'll write down the numbers.
But without a real study, this is a discution about the sex of cylon
centurions.

And yet, unless you open all the LotN boosters and count all the
Seterpenres and compare them to all the not Seterpenres, you can't
actually determine that he is actually "more rare" than anything else.
If Seterpenre was on the uncommon sheet, and as such, printed as much
as all the rest of the uncommons, then there are just as many
Seterpenres as any other uncommon. Unless someone in the card factory
maliciously took large piles of Seterpenres and hid them in a closet
or something, any instances of Seterpenre seeming "more rare" than any
other card is just the vagaries of random distribution.

LotN was indeed the last set with *actual* random distribution so it
might be related to the vagaries of fate (I got 3 Seterpenre out of 2
boxes... he wasn't super-abundant but neither was he the "rarest"
vampire, in my experience).

Hmm. I'm not sure I know what that means.
There is certainly a possibility that there was an actual weird
production error--there were 40 non starter LotN vampires, of which
Seterpenre is one. I don't know how many cards came on that sheet, but
as it looks like there were also 10x non vampire LotN uncommons, they
probably had a sheet of 50 with 40x vampire and 10x library cards (or
a sheet of 100 with two of each). It isn't impossible that if it was a
sheet of 100 with 2 of each, Seterpenre was accidentally only on the
sheet once (in which case, he is half as common as most of the set,
and some other card is 50% more common than most of the set), but I
think it is safe to take LSJ at his word and assume that there wasn't
a production error like that.
So if there wasn't a production error like that, there are just as
many Seterpenres in circulation as every other non starter vampire
from that set. Unless someone somehow managed to capture and hide some
(which is super unlikely, given that it is unlikely that anyone would
care to do so, it was even possible). Maybe due to random shuffling of
cards, there is a box of LotN somewhere in a warehouse that has 70
Seterpenres in it (whenever I complain about the shuffling function in
JOL working like that, people just tell me that that is how
randomization works...).

That's because JOL doesn't 'shuffle', it 'randomizes', so your
complaint doesn't really make any sense. Unless you mean
to say "JOL doesn't randomize very well." ?
If computers could somehow shuffle, then the world would
be a much better place. ;)

Well, it makes perfect sense as a joke (see: "There is a single box of
LotN with 70 Seterpenres in it" vs "every single time you play JOL,
you get 12 of the same cards in a row in a clump when you have 14 of
the cards in the deck 'cause JOL doesn't randomize very well")
