[QUOTE="Scribble, post: 5290550, member: 23977"] Again it's the how they're intended to be used by the purchaser aspect. Randomized minis for the RPG was annoying because we need specific minis to match the scene we've built. Notice the switch to tokens? They can actually give us non random tokens to represent the monsters without it being too costly. Notice how the player power cards aren't random? Again having to buy random cards to represent non random elements of the game would be annoying at best. These cards are designed to be random. The fact that they are random boosters is part of the very reason you're buying them. They're not designed to represent a non random element. You don't NEED specific cards to put them to use- You use whatever you get, the luck of the draw. WoTC gets to feed off of those people who enjoy "randomness" and seeing what they get this time... While not screwing over those that just want to play the game by making the things that aren't random random. Well played, in my opinion, if you can get past the fear. [/QUOTE]
