Question...
One can either "Purchase Pack" or "Purchase Borderlands Pack". The Purchase Pack is a mix of Seed Set cards and BL cards. You can't buy Seed Set packs. Why not?

I ask for two reasons...
1. Most other CCGs (online or otherwise) I am familiar with do not mix sets in their packs. I like this practice because it gives me a better idea of what I am buying.
2. This makes it harder for people to get Seed Set uncommons and rares, since there is a chance these cards could be either Seed Set or BL when using "Purchase Pack".

The current method seems to penalize newer players looking to build their collection by buying cards directly from TFW. It also biases the card base towards BL cards over time as more cards created will be BL cards. This would tend (IMO) to inflate the cost of Seed Set cards as they will be a progressively smaller percentage of cards in circulation.

Jed, would you please consider creating an option to buy Seed Set packs? Maybe a third button so people have the option of buying Seed Set, Borderlands, or a mix.

I agree. Purchase Pack should be renamed "Purchase Seed Set Pack"

The mixed pack should only be used in Zwar's and Domains.

I had no idea that was the case... buying just BL, myself, but I agree with Pug, there should be a way to buy just Seed as a third option.
