==Overview==
[[Crafting|Booster Crafting]], or just Crafting, was introduced in December 2017 as a way for players to indirectly convert duplicate cards into new cards, in a semi-targeted manner. Duplicate cards get converted into [[Resources#Mana_Orbs | Mana Orbs]] ({{Orbs}}), and Crafting converts Orbs into new cards.
===Card set===
Any [[Standard set ]] card sets may be selected individually selected for crafting, with one exception: the newest Standard set cannot be crafted for a limited time after release. Typically, until the newest following main line card set becomes craftable a month after releaseis released.
On the other hand, most [[Legacy ]] sets cannot be targeted individually; instead, a crafted Legacy card may come from any Legacy card set. An exception is the [[From the Vault]] card sets, which are in their own crafting group.
Legacy and [[Origins]] cards can be crafted more cheaply than Standard cards. Conversely, the newest craftable card set is more expensive to craft.
===Rarity===
Common, Uncommon, Rare and Mythic cards can be selected for crafting for increasing amounts of Orbs.
Masterpiece cards cannot usually be crafted. A [[VIP]] reward allows crafting of Masterpiece cards.

* ''Masterpiece cards are only craftable via a [[VIP]] reward''
 
Because of the Battles From the Ages [[#Strategies|strategy noted below]], Mana Crystal costs of crafting can be calculated also; the cost in [[Mana Crystals]] is one-fifth the cost of Orbs.
==Obtaining orbs==
==Strategies==
*Once all the non-duplicate Mythic cards in [[Battles From the Ages]] are won, subsequent wins give 500 Orbs per entry fee of 100 Crystals. This is similar to the [[Rising Tensions (historical)|historical version of the Rising Tensions event]].
* Spend [[Crystals]] ({{crystals}}) on newly released sets to benefit from the 50% bonus Orbs from duplicates.
* Newer players should focus on crafting [[Origins]] as its card packs have lower drop rates and it is cheaper to craft than the other Standard sets. Additionally, Origins will not rotate out of Standard.
