Jumpstart bootser box - no green? (mtgzone.com)

I got myself a jumpstart bootser box, excited to put together my first "battle box" to play with friends and introduce new players to the game. I only got a couple of true duplicate packs, but not a single green theme - which seems odd? I guess they don't color balance the boxes, and I just got unlucky, but it kinda sucks.

I could use advice - to get some green packs, is it wiser to just buy singles, or trust the probability that some future box won't be missing all the green packs, as well?

Sounds like standard collation irregularity: packs are binned into boxes according to some pattern, which might correspond with things that players care about. I think it was SOI or EMN where a given box's mythics all turned up in packs with the same pack art (but different from box to box).

I should clarify - this is original Jumpstart 2020

Buy singles!
