That would actually be amusing to see WOTC get "booth babes" for whatever -Con they're involved in. Not sure if that's a degradation or an improvement, but funny nonetheless...

hahahahha funny... however although it will provide for hours of entertainment. (watching some guy trying to talk about infinite fireballs with a model whos never so much as looked at a card.) I think it might generate some negative effects.

One remote possibility is that it may scare away the more timid magic players.

A second more possible outcome is that magic players will get restraining orders from models.

Either of those two would hurt the biz.

Slightly unrelated since it isn't exactly Magic, but I just saw that commercial where the "geek" falls in love with a supermodel and vice versa and one gives the other (couldn't tell at that moment, my attention was diverted) a 3rd ed. D&D Players Handbook :)

The GE commercial...

It's cute... baby genius winking his eye and all...

I like the handbook part, and the part on the beach where she's in a swimsuit, and he's almost completely covered, sunglasses, and creme on the nose...:D

Man, I finally catalogued the box and here are the uncommons that I didn't get any of:

Barter In Blood
Duskworker
Granite Shard
Lightning Greaves
Looming Hoverguard
Loxodon Warhammer
Rustspore Ram
Scrabbling Claws
Synod Sanctum
Talisman of Dominance
Talisman of Unity
Tel-Jilad Stylus
Thirst for Knowledge

I know the set was more "spread out" to even it with the next two expansions, but you'd think I could get at least 1 of each uncommon... oh well.

I just didn't know if it was an aberration or something that ought to be looked into further... not reading other sites and so not really hearing a widespread outcry, I guess I either got unlucky or that's simply the way the sorting is now with the sets being more evened out in terms of numbers.

I'd gotten some boxes of Mirrodin, and only gotten about 60% of the uncommons... about 30% of rares... there were lots of duplicates for the uncommons at least...

but if you buy 3 boxes - you should have at least a single-card set...:)

Au contraire.

Mirrodin has 110 rares. A box of Mirrodin has 36 rares. 36 x 3 = 108. Meaning that three boxes, assuming NO duplication (which is nothing short of amazing), will leave you just shy of a single card set.

touche!

Isty... you're under the illusion of the old set numbers...

Mirrodin only has 88 rares... it's set size is only 306 - including basic lands...

and buying 3 boxes would allow for 20 duplicate rare pulls...

"I eat, breathe and s___ Magic... well almost... there is a family I co-habitate with...":p

For the player yes - collector no... It's now "easier" to get sets completed...

and even with the smaller sets gaining in size - you would still be buying the same number of boxes, and maybe a few extra packs to complete those sets, as you previously did...:)
