Just opened a golden pack and picked up my 5th copy of Vesuvan Duplimancy... I thought it should of been replaced with a card I didn't own from the set? If not protected then I should be opening my golden packs before I open my boosters...

Help me understand this after research on golden packs i came across this

"If you would receive a card but you have four copies of all cards of that rarity from that Standard-legal set, you will instead receive a card from another Standard-legal set. Only when you have four copies of all cards of that rarity from each set in Standard will cards be replaced by gems."

So what happened there?

The only reason you should get a 5th copy from a Golden Pack is that you’re rare complete across all of Standard (which doesn’t sound like the case here). Please do contact support; even if you don’t have logs or pics, having your playerId will let our data team dig back in the history and hopefully see what happened.

We’ll be investigating this (and the other, similar report) and will fix any errors we find.
