[QUOTE="AllisterH, post: 5292259, member: 51325"] Technically..this probably is better suited for one of the other forums but I do believe that it needs to be said to people who don't play "collectible" games or haven't played since the early 90s. Mainly due to both the Gammaworld and Fortune decks threads where I've seen multiple comments about the "disadvantages" of randomization. In M:TG, Nobody who plays the CONSTRUCTED format ACTUALLY buys random boosters. There are 3 sources to get the "exact" card you want if you are looking/building a specific deck. Internet Resellers - pretty much any internet store that sells "randomized" boosters also sells the INDIVIDUAL cards as well. E-bay - Self explanatory. Indeed, there are people that will sell you 4 copies of the entire expansion if needed. FLGS - If your FLGS sells boosters, it sells the individual cards. The people who are buying the random boosters are people like me who prefer the LIMITED format and then sell off the cards to buy into another game of Limited. Randomization is actually what drives the prices lower for most cards as without the randomization format, you lose the Limited players buying boosters and those who sell individual cards. [/QUOTE]
