It really depends on your goal of collecting the cards. From what I
understand, 2nd run is going to be a lot of reprinted cards from 1st run
(with new ones) but with some cards featuring different (clarified) card
text.

If you're just getting cards to play the game, then you could really go
either way. If you don't care about necessarily collecting a complete set,
then I wouldn't worry too much.

If you're collecting to collect (i.e., a complete set) then you might find
value in collecting all of the original cards, as some of the cards will
change.

I may be wrong, but that's how I understood it. Anyone have other thoughts
on the matter?
