Collection status/First/New cards
My collection is very close to one each of every card except the latest sets and maybe some rsres.going back a little further so I strategically get packs so I'm maxing my chances of getting first cards. Opening a mythic strip haven pack I got an uncommon from a few sets ago that said first or new I can't remember. I knew that wasn't possible because I had all.commons and uncommon. I checked that specific card in my collection and I had FOUR already. Today it.happened again, it.said Zombify wad first, checked and I had 4. It's probably keeping me from getting gems I was due for.duplicates. I would make sure ALL cards had a "set" filter, I feel like that can't help and as this seems like an issue others.are.experiencing, we are due some compensation. I play for an hour or two everyday to keep the free packs while Im having fun and getting free packs.

Excess commons and uncommons do not get you gems, they get you a small increase for the vault (0.1% for a common, 0.3% for an uncomon). Only excess rares and mythics get you gems, and only if there is no printing of the card at lower rarity.
Also, the first copy of a new version of a card does not give you anything. Though if you have at least 3 more copies of that card from other sets, all those versions are then available as 4-ofs. And further copies will get you gems/vault value.
That said, there is indeed an issue with the "first" indicator, which likely has to do with a version of that card still missing completely in your collection.
