Disciples Distribution

In case anyone was wondering how the distributions went....I could not complete 2 sets with four boxes (missing Sons of Thunder and His Name is John)

in 96 packs (384 cards)

Highest Frequency: Negate All LS and Marketplace (7 of each pulled in 96 packs)

Distributions:

1-30: 99 cards
31-60: 105 cards
61-90: 77 cards
91-115: 97 cards

Maybe I had bad luck but when I get nearly double what I would expect for even distribution I get concerned...

Thank you for sharing this with us, I got my box of disciples to and I wasn't too happy about it's distribution either.

I am sooo happy with the distribution for this set.  I hated how TexP was set up so that all the packs were the same.  I'd rather pull 5 of one card in a box than have that happen again.  It opens up more trading.
Gates of Hell is by far the best card in the game.  No questions asked.

i agree about TexP. all of the cards were packaged in the same way of having Burial Shroud and Guardian always together and the TexP cards paired with the same ones every time. I think we need another set with at least 200 cards where all of the cards in the pack are from that set and we packs instead of tins and boxes.

 +1 since you can't send in barcodes from tins and boxes......

I'm glad, that in quite possibly the best set since warriors, we've found something we don't like to complain about.

I also disagreed with the distribution method in TxP, although in 3 packs I pulled 2 Grapes and a Mayhem...... But I would much rather have the randomness of opening different cards every time, like how they did Priests and earlier. More cards = more to trade.

@RDT: Don't we always?

Not complaining, so to speak, just going with statistical distribution. One would think that in 400 cards where 115 is a complete set, that you should have 2 sets...I mostly posted this to see whether or not a rarity of distribution has occurred or if its just an anomaly...cause I'm a weird stat geek like that...

Honestly, you really can't apply real stats to card distribution.  The number of cards created simply isn't large enough for true randomness to take effect.  But think of it this way:

If we really had a true random sample where taking a card out of the stash would not change the probability of getting it again there would on the order of 2.64 X 10^86 ways to distribute two boxes of cards (this is including those ridiculous cases in which every card you get is the same).  The number of ways to get a complete set in those two boxes is 5 X 10^54.  Basically it would be close to impossible (statistically speaking) to get a complete set in two boxes.
Gates of Hell is by far the best card in the game.  No questions asked.

I was trying to work through the statistics in my head, but I figured that it could be statistically shown that the odds of getting two full sets in 4 boxes was far lower than the odds of not getting them. Seeing this just made my day. Hooray for math geeks!
Press 1 for more options.
