How these numbers are made

Odds

print-sheet odds (MTGJSON) · confidence medium. The pack variants and per-card sheet weights compiled from Wizards' collation information, as published by MTGJSON. Sources: mtg.fandom.com, mtg.fandom.com, github.com.

Foil: 1:70 cards advertised (Torment onward, lethe.xyz tor; taw notes 1:70 for ONS/MRD/CHK/RAV); ~21.4% of packs (derived). Foil replaces a card of its own rarity and sits after the rare as the last card (lethe.xyz tor).

Value

The average is exact — every card's price times how often it appears. Median, the top-10% figure and the hit rate come from 2,000 simulated packs, the same packs every night, so the numbers move only when prices move.

TCGplayer market prices as of 2026-10-27, foil price for foil slots. Market price is not what you would get selling — subtract fees and shipping. Colour balancing of common sheets is not modelled.
