Seed Print Runs

[thegnomishone]

I've actually noticed packs that break that pattern, and it's worthless if the person shuffles the pack... hell, I've seen packs that shift between different print runs in the middle of the commons... so I'm really not sure how much information can really be gleaned from Print runs of Seed right now.

I've actually noticed packs that break that pattern, and it's worthless if the person shuffles the pack...

There are likely two, maybe three common print runs, so are they really breaking the pattern? Anyway, it is NOT WORTHLESS if they shuffle. Let's say you recognize commons as 30-34 and 36-39 in print run A. That means the missing one is 35 from print run A. They don't have to be in order!!!

More importantly (and sometihng I would actually consider doing) is identifying a couple power commons and memorizing which two cards go directly next to it, then some way to identify print runs (maybe another 1-2 cards). This seems a reasonable method of remembering some information that might actually be helpful.

That being said, I'm going to partially agree with Hans here, memorizing the whole print run is largely unnecessary, as being able to identify the color of the card passed to you is often just as helpful as knowing the actual card itself. I don't think there's anybody who plays this game that NEEDS to memorize them... I'm nowhere near that level and I'm a relatively successful drafter. Nowhere near that level.

Eventually someone with a photographic memory is gonna pwn us all.
