I have got 3 dups so far in my case of 6 boxes among my true uniques. But its worth knowing that a lot of the unique Sirs, Knights and Dames were "uniques" printed at elite levels of availability, as they were found to be part of the uncut elite sheet print run, thus a lot in the community are referring to cards printed on the uncut sheet of uniques as "True" uniques. Of the true uniques that exist though, Ring is considered one of the best most sought after cards so congrats! You may very well have pulled the P Stone of the AL set twice now!
Unfortunately, I had a "bunch" of duplicates too, the 1st of 2 boxes coming from the same case that I opened had 1 duplicate elite of each element and 2 duplicate Sirs, it's kind of odd but it's ok as I get some cards to trade and duplicate Elites just means I get to finish the "playset" quickly xD
Also, the only Unique Sirs are the ones with 4 elemental thresholds but with only 2 different elements in the cost, so it seems Sir Gawain is not one of them, the latest Wizard's Den video explains it well, there are 56 Unique cards and 15 Unique that are Elites (I didn't see your previous box opening, perhaps you already explained this :D )
Surprised that FaB players has so much overlapse with Sorcery. I'd imagine games are on each side of spectrum far away from others. Maybe the difference excites. I think Sorcery has pretty long road ahead into paper packs. However I'm really surprised the production quality of it.
These are the two TCGs I collect - very complimentary card games. FaB for the more active/competitive gameplay, and Sorcery for the collecting side with the one set a year. Have played a few games of Sorcery too and it's very fun and different.
The art really speaks to me. However, I'm very suspicious of this game. I followed it during development. I observed two things: 1. they had art commissioned by some famous artists (in the MTG world at least), but the game was still far from finished. It game design, that is a red flag. you want to have a great game first, before you focus on spending money on art commissions. I certainly support a big investment in artists, so that I can appreciate. I'm not saying it can not work, but it contradicts the story people tell that the game started small with only a small following. I think a big investment was made from the start, so it feels like their initial aim was not small. Could be, but I'm cautious. 2. in 2020, MTG banned cards because of racist art/names/annotations. Sorcery than showed off some early card designs again of their game with names like "jihad". Discussing that ban is one thing, promoting your game like that at that timing is a choice to attract a certain kind of audience to your game. I tried to get in touch with them, privately, to try to understand their goals at that moment, but never got an answer. MTG release of the card 'jihad' was done without the insights they had now. Having this information and insight available now, and still choosing to print a card like that and even promote it feels like I should treat this game with much care. (disclaimer, I'm not going to discuss that topic here, but if you feel triggered, please I urge you to spend time doing some research on it and then decide for yourself. You will not change my mind on this with a youtube comment). I am still open to test out this game, but have not got the chance for it. I treat it with much caution, personally, because of the signals I observed. I was not in Essen this year. It would have been a great opportunity to get to know the game and get some insight in the developers and their goals. So my personal view: Very much appreciate the art. Game designs looks creative with the limited look I got, but need to play it a few times to get a decent opinion. Big doubts about transparancy and honesty in the forces and goals behind this game.
I was not aware of these facts and will open my ears about these more - so far I only had good experiences with the creators of the game and their product
5 Displays offen, absolut süchtig, absolut keine Curio gefunden. Weiter gehts! :D Tolles Video
Hoffentlich gehts nach der 6ten irgendwann weiter :D

Traded those two Rings so I can get more cards to play with. Definitely great pulls
I prefer the plastic wrapping it’s an extra layer against fraud and it looks cool
I get that, though I think it would be mote Environment friendly without the plastic

They really complement each other
