[QUOTE="Alaxk Knight of Galt, post: 5144765, member: 4129"] I blame it on a slavish devotion to the CCG style booster pack. Wizards has it in their heads that the common/uncommon/rare random booster pack is the correct model for both the miniature's game and those wishing to use them for tabletop DnD games. I don't need to purchase random packs of books hoping to the get the Martial Power 2. I shouldn't have to do that to get 10 goblins for tonight's DnD session. I understand the desire for this method in the minis game. Limited Magic is an absolute blast and having every booster pack in magic being non-random would hurt this format. That said, I am a member of the DnD community that loves the idea of pre-painted minis for the sole purpose of tabletop RPGs. Magic cards don't have a use outside of their game, DDMinis do. There has to be room for another style of distribution that wouldn't hurt the integrity of the minis game but would allow those not interested to have access to the units. My idea is theme packs. Heck, they could be random if I just knew they'd all be goblins (or whatever the theme is). The beholders, I guess, is a step in the right direction. DDM annoys me to no end. I love the concept (as I can't paint and like minis), I loath the random distribution. [/QUOTE]
