One of the original concepts for both the Game of Thrones and Warhammer: Invasion core sets was that they would be completely playable without having to buy any expansion sets whatsoever.
Hey,
1st, happy birthday JJ.
Second, this is a false idea, and it's not orgiginal : Magic the G. proposes multiple preconstructed decks, fully operationnal. You can buy two of them and play without having to buy anything more.
The original part is that you can have ALL the cards and then let your creativity do the job without telling yourself that some cards should be fantastic for your deck but impossible to afford.
But creativity is linked to construction rules...and if you want to explore all the possibilities, you need cards enough to make all the possible decks.
If rules say you can have every cards tree times, it would be logical to have that.
Now, you're not forced to do that (like preconstructed decks don't mean buying extra rare cards at 150 $ / piece).
So even if a "get-all-in-3-box" issues, you don't HAVE TO buy it and can still keep playing your way.
But now, I think that we'll never see such a box.
So I'll just be happy with the future packaging, that's fair enough (especially for Warhammer Invasion that don't already have loads of expensions).
Good day.
