Cracked my first box of Beta - similar experience?
Hi - very new to the game but have been stalking the subreddit for a while to try and understand what it’s all about.
Coming from MTG (played/collected since the 90s) and just grabbed my first box of Sorcery Beta. Love the art, the game looks fun, nice with a somewhat limited set of cards at the moment.
Cracked the box and sorted the haul. No really fancy pulls (as always with my level of luck), but the intention was always to build a core collection to start playing.
Now to the weird part. I can’t shake the feeling of the card distribution being very artificial. Why? I got:
- 3-5 (vast majority 4) of every Ordinary card. Not 6, not 7, not 2.
- Not a _single_ duplicate of an Exceptional, Elite or Unique card, with the exception of the few foils. Not. A. Single. One. This includes sites and avatars as well.
Since I had literally 0 Beta cards from before, great - I now have playsets of Ordinary cards and a variety of higher ”rarity”. But still - feels weirdly artificial.
Anyone else had a similar experience?
Will probably grab a second box (but that’s it) - curious to see if it has the same kind of distribution.
