Bleh, okay. Bestiaire seems a bit strange.
It's what I use when I generate the packs. I mean, I used to use an excel sheet and random.org, but that takes a lot longer. And Apprentice (which is what I used to use) can't generate packs with Mythics. There have been some concerns posted before that bestiare may not be fully random, and I don't think it uses print runs (but neither would my Excel sheet), but the packs seem reasonable to me, and if we all use it, it should be fine.
As a side note, I always randomize my library before every draw. If I pre-set a full library, I can't help but look ahead. By pulling randomly each time, I don't have that problem. Of course, if some effect modifies my lirbrary order (Scry, etc.) that's easy enough to account for.
All is forgotten in the stone halls of the dead. These are the rooms of ruin where the spiders spin and the great circuits fall quiet, one by one.

I don't think Beastaire is completely random, I got two identical rares.

I use a number key. On one page I have a list of numbers (order of deck) on another page I have the card names with numbers.

I'm comfortable with Bestiare; getting two of the same rares isn't all that unlikely; it's certainly happened to me both on paper and on MTGO; my very quick and dirty math in fact says it should happen somewhere around 20% of the time for regular rares.
If you are using a set of numbers, please remember that your rare list should have list all regular rares twice and the mythics once to get the percentages right.

I generated packs yesterday, and should be able to build my deck today. I'll open a new thread for my game vs. tgva once i'm ready.

I got the deck together. This pile fills me with thoughts of hilarity at how utterly not good it is. Maybe I'm spoiled.

No I use Bestaire to crack packs, then make a decklist with numbers.
