I just bought two boxes of jyhad from two different sources. They were
sealed in plastic when I got them. I opened them seprately. I organized
the vampire cards alphabetically. When I went to put the two piles
together I found something interesting. The vamp cards from the first
box are Set A. The vamp cards from the second box are Set B. Set A has
no connection to Set B. Not one vampire card from the first box was in
the second box and vice versa. Is this something that has been known for
a long time or just a statistical fluke (hard to accept).

While I can't remember having heard of this before, it doesn't particularly
surprise me. A/B distributions like this have been happening since
the Legends expansion for Magic, if not longer. It's a fairly uncommon
occurence, though (well, except for in Legends).

This does sound a bit weird, the only complete box of Jyhad cards I've
bought resulted in having at least 1 of every vampire execpt for about 5
(not bad considering I basically got a full set of vampires when I bought
my first cards!).

I recently bought a sealed box, and ran into the bad sort others
have reported. I got 2-4 of (most) the vampires that I did get, and none
of the others (out of 144 V cards). I'd be interested in finding
out what the A and B sets were -- I mixed them in to my set before
I realized there was a bad sort....
