1) Do the cards have any "rarity" within the set, or are they all disbursed in equal quantities?

2) Does a box of boosters have a specific mix of cards from the set, or might you get several duplicates?

3) With the theme being "Disciples", will there be cards from the Old Testament as well? Or are we only to expect more cards from the New Testament themes?

4) Will there be any new rules or card types, as there were for TxP?

Thanks for your help.

i can answer your second question but not the others it will have 4 Disciples, 4 mostly rare/ultra-rare Apostles, 4 mostly rare/ultra-rare Patriarchs, and 3 mostly common/rare Angel Wars. i hope this answers your question.

This is all my speculation.

1.) no

2.) Koala King answered that

3.) 120 card set, I highly doubt there will ONLY be NT cards.

4.) Rules, probably... type cards, Does a multi-color curse count?

Has there even been an expansion that had duplicates in the same pack?

i would say yes that some are rarer than others. Hasn't that always bin the way it is?

He is talking about booster boxes, not packs, and is asking if there are booster box mpas, similar to patriarchs.

I doubt it.

Why would Grapes be distributed with the same rarity as Well Reopened??

Why would Abram/Abraham be distributed with the same rarity as Destruction of Nehustan?

Because Cactus was generous enough to do it that way. They could have theoretically made it much harder to open a copy of Grapes/Mayhem/etc by not including them in as many packs, but I think it was simply easier for them to print an even amount of each foil card and package them that way.

They have equal rarity, but they are not distributed in equal quantities. (Or so I've been told)

2) Does a box of boosters have a specific mix of cards from the set, or might you get several duplicates?

Likely you'll get over 9000 duplicates.

I can promise you there will be OT cards.

Rules? Most definitely. Many new rules/clarifications when the new REG comes out (if it comes out), and there will probably be a rule put in place to stop the epic yet nearly useless combo Ring Wraith and I created also.

TxP was done with no rarity (or lopsided distribution as far as I know), and I remember hearing someone say that that Disciples was printed like TxP, but with two 60-card sheets instead of one, so I believe we should expect the same from Disciples.

Do you mean the mix of Disciples cards in each box, or the mix of all the cards from each set that will be in the box? If the latter, then Jayden already answered your question. But either way, I'm pretty you need not fear duplicates

Did Apostles have any OT cards? I don't think it did, in which case I wouldn't expect any from this set either. Although with 115 cards, it'll be tough to have 0 OT cards. I guess we'll just have to see.

I don't think I've heard anyone say anything about a new card type. I also don't know exactly what you mean by "new rules", but the new REG should be coming out pretty soon after nationals, and that will have quite a few ruling adjustments in it.

Tell him Don't Cry. It may take a while, but he'll listen to you. You just need to have Patience.

yeah, it's just too bad we didn't put it together for Regionals. only being able to use it at one tournament is sad.

I can tell you with confidence that the new REG will not be coming out this year.
