Jace Reawakened

Inquiry into OTJ Set Numbers

Hi Mark, unsure if this has been asked

The Set Numbers in OTJ really have me in a tizzy near the end there.
Usually I would expect WUBRG + alphabetical, but in OTJ this pattern is broken with Bucolic Ranch - Spirebluff Canal, and of course Jace Reawakened clocking in between the non basic and basic lands at 0271.
Was there a particular thought/reason there?

Absorbing the Aftermath set into the main set is the cause of most of the weird collector numbering.

Jace Reawakened's Placement

Why was Jace Reawakened moved to the main set and not The Big Score once the epilogue set was getting reworked?

All decisions about what went into the main set and what was put into the Big Score was left up to the Dartboard of Destiny.

Collector Number Anomaly

Why is Jace Reawakened collector number 271 ??? He isn't part of the U cards?

Jace Reawakened was originally part of the Outlaws of Thunder Junction Aftermath set. That product was killed pretty late, so much so, that we couldn’t change the collector numbers when we moved Jace into the main set. I think the rest of the cards from Aftermath (at least the ones we kept) are part of the Big Score.
