Got 'em yesterday. Product was in good shape and packaged well enough. Sent via UPS SurePost which uses UPS for the majority of the transit, then has it transferred to the local post office for delivery. Not usually a problem, but something went wrong and it was delayed a few days at the post office. Label was legible so I'm not sure what happened. Anyway, another good experience for me. Please keep it up Massdrop.

Found the answer to my question. This link might be helpful to some of you if you're wondering what cards the preconstructed decks are made up of. It has all the decklists. Btw, there are no rares in the decks.

What comes in the "semi-randomized" decks? What kinds of cards are available in them? Any of the good cards? (Mutavault, Archangel, Ooze, Planeswalkers, etc)
EDIT: Let me put it this way - How many chances do you have to open a Mutavault/Planeswalker/Scavenging Ooze by purchasing these 12 Battle Packs? Would it be 24 (1 rare per pack) + 12 (1 rare per deck) = 36?
DragaanSo for a whole breakdown of how these battle packs are constructed, each player gets one "deck" and one booster pack. The decks are two random colors combined, with 11 cards per color. They come separated and you have to combine the two color packs to make a deck. Then you can add a couple cards from your booster pack to augment the deck.
As your follow-up to this comment points out, the lists of the semi-randomized of the decks are available and there aren't any rares. It is sort of like a baseline limited deck with commons and uncommons.
