Well, that's my third Alcatraz.  Still a cool card, though.  The only cards I got that I needed were the Howard sketch, the Galileo, and the Lave.  The Manny Ad Back is an SP, so I beat the odds with that. Yay.

On a positive note, I have been working to improve the A&G Boxbreaker tool.  I am a huge dork, so keep that in mind as you continue reading.  I have written a code in MATLAB that creates that spreadsheet based on user inputs.  You simply input the packs per box, cards per pack, boxloaders per box and a checklist and the code takes care of the rest. I tested it out with the blaster and it worked fantastic.  The next step is to try to integrate Gint-A-Cuffs scoring into it.  The big picture plan is to convert the MATLAB code to something where I can create an executable file that anyone can run to create a spreadsheet for any product they open.
