Title: Sealed Deck: Packs chosen before or after deck assignment?
Post by: Sean on November 02, 2020, 08:29:37 AM

For Sealed Deck play, do you choose the packs before you know which deck you get or after?

Typically before. I/J decks are randomly given out. The second bullet point in the host guide implies that you find out what deck you received (“examine their decks”) when you already received the packs you picked.

From the host guide:

- To begin, each player is paired up with an opponent. Each player should have a starter deck and the selected packs.
- Players examine their decks and open their packs. Each player will have between seventy-four and eighty-five cards.

Hmmm... I am probably wrong on this because there is no hard fast rule here (unless I am missing something)
I would get the decks issued and players would see what Deck they have (unopened) and then choose which packs they wanted if I offered more than 2 choices for box packs or more than 3 choices for foil packs...

Godspeed,
