I mean it's obvious by now but it bears repeating once in a while - the set's being built to be played, it isn't like a FtV or whatever where it's like 15 cards that people allegedly require for Eternal. If rarities and card inclusion looks fishy, it's because they probably decided that putting some cards at their original rarity fucked things up.

I mean it could also have a lot to do with keeping print runs nominal so that the originals don't tank even though they aren't on the RL but that would just make it seem like collectors' interests were a priority. Or something.
