| Yes, including my prerelease boosters, I'm now 12 boosters into opening my cases. At this point I have -3- Wizened Elders, 2 Goliath clerics, and 2 Golden Protectors (which is alright since one was from prerelease and wasn't as bad as getting a goliath and wizened per case). Looks like I'll be making some trading posts to complete the set this time!
The Sorcerer on Black Dragon-Dracolich and Bahamut-Tiamat sorting was in my first two cases. | |

| | Fourteen in and FOUR wizened elder watchers. Remember that preview mentioning wanting a forest of these guys... guess I'm the one who got the forest. | |

| | Ended up with 5 wizened elders, 4 goliath clerics, 3 dragonborn fighters, 3 golden protectors, 2 blackguards, and 2 slaughterstones in 26 boosters. I did manage 4 stirges and 3 Aspect pairs. I've never had this number of duplicate rares in any set to date. I've had some with 2-3, but never 4 rares comprising 58% of my non-huge rare draws. | |

| | Nothing beats five Gulgars out of seven boosters. (The other two were Snigs. Nine Gulgars total from WD). | |

| 12 boosters in:
So far, only 2 repeat rares. That means I am only missing 8!
Those 8, unfortunately, are:
Large Green Dragon
Tordek
Mounted Blackguard
War Weaver
Golden Protector
Slaughterstone Eviscerator
Clawfoot Rider
Meepo
6 rares from my top 9 most desired are missing... and only 2 of my least desired are missing. *Sigh*

| Wow, I feel better about only getting one Irate Shrub. The only repeat rare that I got in my 14 boosters (2 cases + 2 won as prizes) was Tordek. Counting my pre-release boosters, I got two Dragonborn Fighters. Whee.

| It seems I was quite lucky then, three cases, six rares missing.
Darn.. 5 Wizened Elder Watchers.. that's overkill. | |

| | I don't know. I guess it's personal preference. I would also not like five of the humanoid rares, but I also wouldn't like five wizened elders. Trees don't attract me that much.. so they see less use in my games. | |

| After consultation with my Wizened Elders, I found that they were all clear cut from the Amazon and that the War of the Dragon Queen is the major cause of deforestation. They also blamed the set for global warming.
The four Goliaths wielding saplings are likely the indentured servants used to uproot the Elders in the first place. Requests for an interview were declined.
On a more serious note, I was able to get some decent buy-it-now prices on ebay (my missing war weaver for $2.99 US), so it's not as bad as it could be. Just need a Tordek, Cadaver Collector, and an Eldritch Giant at this point, so it's just a matter of looking through my minis to make an up-to-date have list. | |

I'm envious.. 4 telepaths.. no fair!
I guess the best way to beat this clustering is to source cases from different places, or from different orders at each store. | |
