I agree that school packs are probably a better idea than theme ones (aside from equipment, which is its own thing ). And again, I fully understand why the base set and probably mage expansions are going to include a balanced mix of spells as opposed to complete sets and agree with it. Just, please, have some products that hardcore deckbuilding fans can obtain to accommodate their cravings

Hey,

I've had this on my mind for a while now so I thought I'd put it on here so people can comment and maybe even to get some official feedback from the designers. Basically my concern is the following: I understand why designers make starters the way they do in terms of card distribution - this is a gateway product that is meant to be self-sufficient and offer a reasonably full game experience at a good price. Once the line moves into expansions, however, dedicated fans would want a good way to obtain a full set of the possible cards as they are released. So my question and hope is that expansions would come out with at least the auxiliary option of getting a full set of cards in some way other than buying said expansion x3 for example. I'm not saying that every product should offer this but rather that for every expansion that comes out it would be really great if we could have a Spell Tome of sorts that includes the missing spells for a complete set. I am saying "of sorts" because the CST is far from that mark. I was genuinely surprised when I saw that it included 1's of most cards and 2's of several. I opted for two complete core sets but I don't see myself doing that for every expansion.

I hope this sparks some discussion and maybe the people who can actually make these decisions can weigh in as well! I am still waiting on my two core sets to arrive and I can't wait to play. I am incredibly excited about this game, which is why I am raising my concern now - I really want to keep liking it ever more and supporting the team behind it with my continued business!

That would be really helpful as I have been wondering whether I should get 1 or 2 core sets. I am big on deck building and customization and I would like to have sufficient copies of spells so that 2 players can have a decent number of the cards even if overlapping. I am basically waiting on this bit of info to preorder my 1 or 2 core sets and a core spell tome!
