First off Kuddo's to the team of guys working on the ISD map, looks to be coming along well. We will see if WotC has once again thrown us another track, or varriance to figure out. As much as it may be an unwanted additional step, the tricks WotC has done over the past few years to "randomize" the packs in boxes has also served to fuel the desire to figure things out.
I dont know about you but when I start something, I like to finish it. Especially when the likelyhood for success is slim. And mapping to me is like that. Most of my mapping has been largely personal and just recently discovered the audience here. I owe a lot to the original printing of TCWBB first ed. Along with older sets that we used to map/par just because they were that simple.
Now after that bit of ego stroking (which I didnt mean to do).:o The question...
Does anyone else have information regarding Alliances UNC mapping, notes or previous records of packs would be great.
Just last week picked up a Storage locker that was unpaid at auction. Inside were what appeared to be the reminents of an old game store that didnt survive. In the rubble of minitures and dusty old toys were a small spattering of MTG sealed boxes and random packs up to ravnica. The prize... a couple boxes of Alliances... Ice age and TONS of HL.
Although I will be recording the data from opening this. I dont plan on selling any of it, as I plan to draft IA block with my local group. I would like to apply some principles in the process. Ive lost many of my earlier notes to my wife's cleaning escapades and need your help. So if anyone has old box lists, partial maps, pics of the uncommon sheet etc it would be grately helpful to myself and the community.
I can appreshiate the light humor in the comments, yes I am a salesman by trade, and a side effect that I struggle with is sounding that way.
But in all seriousness, Im looking for information from the community and trying to sound somewhat respectful about it. I am not an old salty dog with XXX,XXX posts here does that mean that someone should not get straight answers or at least "on topic" replies? Im not flaming and neither are you but just dont want the tone to get out of hand.
Ive found some info on Magic Rarities forum, and putting together info I have. I will be posting information here to keep it open as a community project. If anyone cares to contribute GREAT! If not please just dont derail my efforts.
