SOI Question About Pack Layout!
Spoilers, Rumors, and Speculation forum
Posted on March 25, 2016, 11:31 p.m. by PistonGolem
I was looking at the double faced cards for SOI because the full spoiler was today and I noticed ONLY FOUR COMMON DOUBLE FACED CARDS TOTAL. Aren't commons supposed to be, you know, the most common? Are we just seeing four cards pop up often at the back of the pack, or are they randomly placed with the same probability for any other rarity level?

The previous ISD block had a maximum of one double faced card, taking the place of a common (regardless of the rarity of the DFC). It was also possible to get a foil card, which could be double faced, taking the place of another common. It led to some insane pulls, like Liliana + Garruk Relentless and any foil from a single pack

Packs will be distributed like normal. If a card is a DFC and is listed as a common then that's where it'll show up in the pack. If it's an uncommon than it'll show up in the uncommons. DFC's are not special inserts in the pack.

Actually, they are. DFC's are always behind the rare/mythic, before the land. In Innistrad, your DFC could be any one of the 20 DFCs in the set.
In SOI, it'll be a little different. Every pack will have 1 common or uncommon DFC, and 1 in 8 packs will have a rare or mythic rare DFC in adittion to the common or uncommon one, also in addition to any foils the pack may contain.

From what I remember about Original Innistrad, there can only be a maximum of two DFCs in one pack (one foil and one normal). I remember I did a winston draft with a friend from a fat pack we split, and one of the packs had Garruk, and no other DFCs

Earlier today Mark Rosewater was asked a similar question on his blog: "I noticed that there's a lot more uncommon DFCs than there are commons. How does that work?" MaRo's response was: "Having more uncommons let us have more unique double-faced cards as they show up less frequently." Hopefully this is helpful for you.
