| In my case, I noticed that the two most 'expensive' commons in every booster seemed to be linked. If a booster had an orc mauler, it also had a wood elf ranger. Did anyone else find this to be true?

The rest were linked as well, although I do not have notes in front of me right now and I don't recall the links exactly. However, every one of my axe soldiers was linked to the same 'expensive' common, every one of my goblin blackblades was linked with the same 'expensive' common and every one of my halfling slingers was linked with the same 'expensive' common.
Anyone else find this to be true - and happen to have the data handy to post? Or did anyone find there to be no correlation in their boosters? | |

| I wasn't paying the strictest attention, but I did notice that every Skeletal Legionnaire that I pulled seemed to come with a Derro.
Of course, I only have two boosters and two Starters. But when you end up with three of a common in that small number of purchases...Well, it stands out. I'll have to keep my eyes open to see if any other purchases go this way as well. | |

| | Any chance the commons are tied to the booster art as seemed to be the case for UD and Anf? | |

| | I didn't pay attention when opening my case, but I did end up with exactly 3 of each Common. In yesterday's sealed, I got 8 different Commons out of 2 boosters. So maybe... | | | |

I don't normally go for this kinda stuff, but I did get the exact dups from my starter/booster yesterday during the release tourney. Creepy! | |

| | There must be a pattern that isn't exactly random, and makes it easier for the people or machines making the boosters. | |

| | I thought there were an abnormally large number of Aspects of Hextor running around at the WF prerelease....out of 80ish people, starter + booster there should have been 160 rares floating around. 23 rares in the set, so that means there would be 6 or 7 of any given rare on average. One fellow fielded two of them, and I'm pretty sure I saw more than five other people running them, not to mention that some people may have had them and NOT run them (I had one and chose not to run it). | |

| There must be something to this.
In 1 starter and 6 boosters, I got:
6 Orc Maulers and 6 Wood Elf Rangers
3 Howling Orcs and 3 Arcanix Guards
However, I got 3 Skeletal Legionnaires and only 2 Derro. I suppose it's possible that the 3rd Skeletal Legionnaire came in my starter, but I'm not sure.
I got a fair number of repeat uncommons, I wonder if the same is true with them. | |

| I marked down all the boosters I got from GO and the booster/starter I opened for the release but not the ones I won at the release.
6 of 7 my axe soldiers came with a howling orc.
3 of my 4 goblin blackblades came with trog thugs but 3,and not the same 3, came with horde zombies.
4 of my 6 halfling slingers came with a quaggoth slave.
I pulled two more halfling slingers and quaggoth slaves from my winning boosters(4) but I didn't note if they came in the same booster or not. | | | |
