Reportedly, some of the old 1990s collectible card games weren’t really random—if you knew the formula, you could crack open a sealed booster box, open just one pack, and based on the rare card in that pack you could deduce which rare cards were in the other packs based on the packs’ position in the box. People would pull the packs with the high-value cards, then put the box out on the shelf to sell the other boosters by the pack.
This was DEFINITELY true of MTG in the Legends era (95ish). We did it all the time when the FLGS would crack open a box after we figured it out. Well to be fair, after we figured it out, everyone insisted on the box being dumped and randomly re-arranged after that....

NONE of us would buy Legends packs unless we were standing there when the FLGS took the wrapper off the box after that fateful day. There were exactly 3 types of Legends boxes.

You could literally open the pack on the top left and then accurately predict the ENTIRE BOX. It was insane. Every freaking card exactly put in all the packs throughout the case the exact same way. We went back and proved Antiquities, Arabian did it. Dark did it. Each of these had two types of boxes.

They broke this pattern with Ice Age. It also didn't occur in Unlimited or Revised. Can't comment on Alpha/Beta as the availability of those were zero when we figured this out. I know a guy who bought Arabian sealed boxes and cherry picked packs out of them and made SERIOUS money doing it....on BBS boards long before the internet at large even had thought about being created.

As for shaking...that's fair...if its the consumer doing the shaking. The moment the FLGS starts weighing/shaking before a customer can touch the product and then pulling based on that result? That's tampering and probably illegal. This comment about them opening and re-sealing is DEFINITELY illegal.

JMpowell - thanks, never thought to check the Uncommon order too in bricks, I will go back and check mine!
My Bigby case had no duplicated Huge Uncommons oer brick but ton of such Medium duplications, they fixed this for Seas & Shores. I am curious if Phandelver had any such order.

Thanks a lot for also showing the results! :) A picture is worth a thousand words, as the saying goes!

I see you got a nice balance of Large Uncommons, 3 of everything except Ochre Jellies. Only 3 Flameskulls though, ouch.
And indeed only 2 of a lot of Medium Uncommons. I feel in the long run this will make Uncommons worth more.

Thanks for the Rares replacing Uncommons info, seems this is starting to be an (unwelcome)trend in later sets. Hope not so in Planescape.

During sales in March I bought a case and two bricks.

Eberron: Rising from the Last War case. One box had two Medium Uncommons (19, 22). Three of the four Corpse Flower (30) broke off the base and one Cloaker (26) was missing the face.

Re: Case Results Report Thread

Post by BBShockwave »

Welcome to the forum, and thanks for the great case results - especially for sharing the photos!
Looks like my fears were confirmed, same as in Seas & Shores and Phandelver, very often the Rare takes up an Uncommon slot instead of a Common, resulting in less Medium Uncommons per case, annoyingly so. Glad I bought some Tridrones and Monodrones cheap on KingsofLight already.
And as I predicted, only 6 Large Uncommons means 4-5 of all of them per case. Kinda pointless with the Baernaloth and Aurumach since those are not really encountered in groups, but good to have lots of Maelephants and Octons. Still, it is never a good incentive for buyers if you can expect not one but sometimes 2 of the same Large in a brick, as it was here in Brick #2.
I see also some bricks with 2 of the same Uncommon in the same brick. And the Modrons and Cuprilach seem to suffer from bended legs. But that can be easily fixed.

It also indeed seems that the Rares being in sequential order per brick is a distribution strategy that is going to continue. So you can at least estimate which 2 you are gonna get per brick with a 25% accuracy.

Huh faceless Cloaker, odd issue. Sadly seems many times the factory workers forget to use glue, I had 3 minis missing heads or faces in Seas & Shores.
The Corpse Flowers are notorious for breaking, the tendrils are too short and the transparent pole cannot support the weight. I recommend cutting out a bit from the pole, and gluing it and the tendrils to the base.

Your Theros double Large situation is intentional. The Abhorrent Overlord is a Large, but is not among the "Large Rare slots" but among the Medium Rare slots. This same thing is true of MM3 and F&T as well, leading to 2 Larges, or a Huge and a Large in one booster. Even MotM has this with the Gauth.

I thought it has always been true in Icons that rares replace ab uncommon?

Also, I opened two boosters today and they are perfectly identical to two of those pictured above. From the same brick

No, up until Seas & Shores, they always replaced one of the two Common a in the booster. I have the per booster distribution results for pretty much all previous sets and it used to be that way. S&S2 was the first set where I noticed Rares replacing Uncommons this way, though even then it was not always so, just 40% of the time.

Re: Case Results Report Thread

Thanks for the info!
Wizkids really needs to instruct the chinese booster packing team about this problem where sometimes they would substitute the Medium Rare for a Medium Uncommon... it results in getting only 2 of several Medium Uncommons only per case, here too the number of those is too high. I remember in the case results of older sets, I'd only ever get 2 of one Medium Uncommon per set before.

Interesting, the cases where this happens and the Rare is substituted for an Uncommon are all the same location:
Brick #2, Booster top row #3
Brick #3, Booster top row #3

And perhaps Wizkids manufactured too many Bariaur Wanderers? This is the third case I see where there are 4 of them in a case.

Here are the results of my case of Fangs & Talons. One Huge Rare (38) and the Large Rares (39-41) were treated as Medium, replacing a Common. There were four of each Small Common (2, 3, 4, 5), and three of the Medium Commons (9, 12, 13) had only three of each like an Uncommon. Three of a Medium Common (6) were in sequential boxes One box was missing a Large, most likely 27.

Here is the break down of my case. Looked fair I think. It did come with 2 broken from base minis (well one was simply missing a base all together), and a couple of pieces doing the limbo.

A really fun set to open up, getting Venger and Uni in the last brick was joy.

Brick 1 - Green Knight
Brick 2 - Fiend
Brick 3 - Sheila
Brick 4 - Uni & Venger

Nice haul, thanks! As I expected, with so many Medium and Large Uncommons in the set, you will only get 2-3 of each as opposed to 2-4 which is the more usual for Large Uncommons. In fact I see you only got 1 5E Green Slaad, that's a first, only getting 1 Large Uncommon of a type per case!

I am curious if the cartoon chases are maybe always in the same brick, we do know the Fiend and Paladin in Hell are not paired in the same way.

Guess we can also rule out that 5E and 1E versions of the same Rare are always in one brick, this was only true for Vecna and Acererak.

50th Anniversary Case Results. Weird Case for me. I am missing 2 rares and these are the numbers from the bottoms of the minis. The only mini I did not have a number/name match for was 40 as I was missing that one and it didn't line up with what is on the Page here on the site. I believe it is Vecna 1E as I did not get that one.

The third brick I opened had 1 of every chace in it and very few rares.

I am missing Acererak 1E and Vecna 1E and have multiple of some chases. At this point with this case it feels like the chases were the rares and the rares were the chaces.

I am a bit late with this, but only just got all my Sand & Stone minis - it was from a CSI sale and could only be shipped to my friend in the USA, who opened and packed them inside various boxes like Baphometh's and HasLab Deathsaurus, so they arrived in several assortments. I can only provide per case numbers, thus, not per brick.
No breaks or issues. One Mummy had a leg come off the base, that's all.
