Does anyone know exactly which cards are included in the gray-bordered fixed packs for the Balrog's Host and Shadow-deeps?
I know that both boxes come with two factory sealed, shrink-wrapped packs, one for the black-bordered Balrog cards and one for the gray-bordered fixed cards. But I don't know what all is included among the gray-bordered packs.

The sealed gray bordered packs do include a few black border cards. I forget which ones. I think maybe some of the singleton black border sites, maybe a few others as well. Those sealed packs aren't pure gray border, at least both of them aren't.
There was at least 2 black border Twilight that I can recall, but those are reprints as well.the Jabberwock wrote: ↑Fri Jul 21, 2017 6:44 am The sealed gray bordered packs do include a few black border cards.

Yes you are right, but those are not the ones I'm talking about. I'm referencing black borders that are unique to The Balrog set.tyhjaarpa wrote:There was at least 2 black border Twilight that I can recall, but those are reprints as well.the Jabberwock wrote: ↑Fri Jul 21, 2017 6:44 am The sealed gray bordered packs do include a few black border cards.

The red box, The Shadow-deeps, had two black-bordered Twilight cards that nonetheless had a 1997 copyright. The blue box, Balrog's Host, also contained two Twilight cards, but those had the correct grey borders.tyhjaarpa wrote: ↑Fri Jul 21, 2017 7:35 amThere was at least 2 black border Twilight that I can recall, but those are reprints as well.the Jabberwock wrote: ↑Fri Jul 21, 2017 6:44 am The sealed gray bordered packs do include a few black border cards.

As for which sealed packs contained which cards, I'm afraid I couldn't say; I purchased my Balrog set already opened.

I recently opened 1 factory sealed gray border pack from The Balrog. The following non-gray bordered cards were included at the bottom of the pack:
Barad-Dur
Carn Dum
Cirith Gorgor
Cirith Ungol
Dol Guldur
Minas Morgul
Remains of Thangorodrim
While I didn't unseal the second gray border pack (it was already opened), to the best of my knowledge and memory I believe it contained all gray bordered cards. If anyone else finds something different, please post in this thread. Thanks
