I sent you each 1 completely random Nemesis Booster.Spiderman said:
Good Luck to you both.
(I made them in Excel since I don't have, and can't install the other products at work)
If I recall correctly - they include:
11 commons (2 of each color except 1 which has 3)
3 uncommons (completely random)
1 rare (completely random)

If there are no common Artifacts, multicolors, or lands, then you usually will see a cycle of colors followed by another cycle of colors, followed by a card the same color as the first. When there's other types - then it's more random (I think they include some of those in the color stacks. I think they started doing it for more consistency in Limited in terms of spread out colors. too often you'd get 4 or 5 of one color and none of another. That gave that player an unfair advantage sometimes because they could use fewer colors to a better end.Spiderman said:
It's been that way for a long time (watch when you open a pack - I think they usually follow the color order WUBRG) The next pack should pick up where the previous left off would be my guess. So, if a pack ends on R, the next starts with Green. Foils mess everything up of course... but for our purposes - no foils.
I think they completely randomize the Uncommons - because I've gotten 3 of the same color before in one booster. And of course the Rare is completely random - though in a box you tend to get different ones...
How I generate a box is to create a complete set, rotate through the commons - give 3 uncommons and one rrare. For the next booster I pick up in the commons where I left off. If I had to generate a ton of packs, I'd re-randomize commons when the first "set" ran out - but continue with Uncommons and rares until I ran out of those. I think that's how Wizards does it - but I don't think they talk about their process (if they do I haven't seen it, though I don't frequent wizards.com anymore - only when a stray link from here piques my interest).
Back in the days of revised - remember the "sheets". they even provided some sheets for sale once or twice. Back then they used to only be able to make sheets of one size - which was how lands got mixed in the Uncommons I think. By the time of Ice Age or so is when I think they moved from Carta Mundi to another plant which offered more flexability with print runs. (from my recollection of a duelist article from way back when).

I'm sure they don't... I wish they would. I like the better distribution.Spiderman said:
