HOW WE GOT THESE NUMBERS Methodology & data sources
Pull ratesOfficial Wizards of the Coast pack odds mapped to each slot's eligible card pool.
Price dataTCGplayer Market Price, refreshed daily. Market reflects closed sales, not active listings.
Median EVMonte-Carlo simulation of 10,000 box opens, with pull-rate variance modeled per slot.
Outcome rangeP25 / median / P75 from the same simulation. "Low" = a quarter of boxes open below it.
Serialized insertsExcluded from EV. Their per-box odds are near zero and would distort the median.
