The problems with the sortings of 1st run are everywhere. In my area, there
are four players, and very little variation in our collections. Most of our
uncommons are repeated exactly, and we have many doubles of rares and lack
many more. I've bought two booster packs, and had eight cards in common
between them! (Three of them uncommons)
