Dissension Common and Guildpact Uncommon Print Runs

Ian Nuber

By Ian Nuber
05/10/2006

Just too late for PT Prague and the Dissension Release Event, here are the Dissension common runs. I prefer Constructed, so take any strategy or card valuations I make with a grain of salt. At the end of the article you will find the uncommon run from Guildpact.

If you understand print runs, skip this paragraph. The 11 commons in each booster come from two runs, which I'll call Alpha and Beta*. The first six cards in a pack come from the Alpha run and the next five from the Beta**, and the runs do not affect each other. The cards appear in-order from the run, from the front of the pack to the back; if the first three cards are Azorius Signet, Simic Ragworm, Steeling Stance, the next three will be Wrecking Ball, Sandstorm Eidolon, and Slaughterhouse Bouncer. This is useful, because if you know the print runs and you see Azorius Signet, Simic Ragworm, Steeling Stance, Sandstorm Eidolon, and Slaughterhouse Bouncer for your second-pick choices, then you know the person passing to you took Wrecking Ball. Knowing print runs can also be useful in Sealed.

Thanks to Greg Degi, Karen Degi, and Kevin Degi for the raw data I used to generate these print runs. Thanks to them, as well as Scott Mayer and Luke Hagerling, for the data to generate the Guildpact uncommon run.

*Rock-Paper-Scissors seems like a poor naming convention. The Alpha run seems stronger than the Beta to me, but as I said, I play Constructed much more than Limited.

**If there is a foil common, the run it came from has 1 less card in it, but the cards are still contiguous, and which card the foil is does not affect them.
