[QUOTE="Scribble, post: 5290313, member: 23977"] It's a difference in how it's intended to be used though (at least I think with my limited knowledge of them.) The item decks work better as a full set all at once because when you build your character you know what equipment he has. If the decks were randomized, and you didn't have a card for some peice of equipment you had, you'd either need to not use the cards, or keep collecting till you got it... The fortune decks (if they ARE like the twitter buffs) aren't designed to be known ahead of time. You're not supposed to / don't need to put together a deck of awesome buffs. You just open the card and whatever random card happens to be drawn- that's what you get. There's no "O darn I need to find this card so I can use this power or item" aspect to it. If you don't have a particular card, it doesn't matter, it won't effect the usability of the cards or change your game at all. p.s. Notice WoTC also puts out decks of character powers that are NOT randomized... They're designed to be used like the item deck. If you have a power you'll want the card, so they sell them to you all at once. It's only the aspects that are designed to be used in a random fashion that they seem to be offering in randomized packs. [/QUOTE]
