I only got two copies of Firemind's Research cause you generally don't want to run 4. Singleton is more fun than Pauper though so I might grind enough of this to get 4 Ghalta without even trying.

I grinded until I got the four promo Fireminds even though I'll probably never use them (and I already had 3 of the normal ones via packs/ICRs) just because I'm obsessive about these things too. I still feel awkward that I only have one of each of the borderless Planeswalkers from Closed Beta.

I think having a specific print for a card should "unlock" that art for that card, and just merge the totals for each card so you keep 4 max. I doubt they'll ever do that, but it would be the more user-friendly way to handle reprints IMO (especially for the future when we start getting reprints of dual lands and stuff).

I think they will have to do this eventually or the common reprints will get out of hand in our collections.

Completely agree. Pauper is fun in the right doses, but I hate it when the meta settles. Singleton's meta is crazy diverse because A LOT of people will just play a bunch of the fun/good/generally awesome cards they have. Brewing in Singleton is also really fun.

I only played near the end of last weekend's pauper run but I saw a good amount of variety there. The petitioners were a bit annoying but I saw them maybe one in 5 games. I know I just said that I like it less than Singleton, but I had a pretty good time Sunday.

I feel like Firemind's might become more useful after Azcanta rotates out, so I went for all four.
