Booster Crafting is a means for players to be able to obtain new cards in a targeted manner. Duplicate cards are converted into [[Resources#Mana_Orbs | Mana Orbs]] ({{Orbs}}) with a bonus of 50% more Orbs if the duplicate is from a set which cannot yet be crafted. Sets typically cannot be crafted until one month after their initial release.

Players will be able to select the bloc and the card [[rarity]] of the card pool which they wish to craft from. The crafted card will be a guaranteed new card randomly chosen from the selected pool. For the bloc, players can choose any individual Standard set or a combined Legacy pool. For the rarity, players can choose to craft Common, Uncommon, Rare or Mythic cards. Masterpieces cannot be crafted.

Crafting allows you to choose the set and the rarity to craft. The magnifying glass allows the player to see the list of possible cards which can be crafted from the selection.

Overview

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 Mana Orbs (Mana Orbs), and Crafting converts Orbs into new cards.

Crafting cards

When crafting a card, players select a card set and a rarity. The selected set and rarity determine both the card pool from which the crafted card comes from, and the Orb cost of the crafted card. The crafted card is a guaranteed non-duplicate card.

A player may not craft cards from a set and rarity in which they own all the cards.

Card set

Any Standard set may be selected for crafting, with one exception: the newest set cannot be crafted for a limited time after release. Typically, the newest set becomes craftable a month after release.

Legacy sets cannot be targeted individually; instead, a crafted Legacy card can instead come from any Legacy card set.

Legacy and Origins cards can be crafted more cheaply than Standard cards.

The newest card set, if craftable, is more expensive.

Rarity

Common, Uncommon, Rare and Mythic cards can be selected for crafting for increasing amounts of Orbs.

Masterpiece cards cannot be crafted.

Crafting costs

Card Rarity Origins Legacy Standard Newest Set
Mythic Mythic 3,000 Mana Orbs 3,000 Mana Orbs 5,000 Mana Orbs 7,500 Mana Orbs
Rare Rare 600 Mana Orbs 600 Mana Orbs 1,000 Mana Orbs 1,500 Mana Orbs
Uncommon Uncommon 300 Mana Orbs 300 Mana Orbs 500 Mana Orbs 750 Mana Orbs
Common Common 60 Mana Orbs 60 Mana Orbs 100 Mana Orbs 150 Mana Orbs

Obtaining orbs

Orbs are earned from duplicate cards. Duplicate cards are automatically converted into Orbs and Runes. 50% additional Orbs are provided if the duplicate card is from a set which cannot yet be crafted.

Card Rarity Converted to
Craftable set Non-craftable set
Masterpiece Masterpiece 2,500 Mana Orbs · 2,500 Mana Runes 3,750 Mana Orbs · 2,500 Mana Runes
Mythic Mythic 500 Mana Orbs · 500 Mana Runes 750 Mana Orbs · 500 Mana Runes
Rare Rare 100 Mana Orbs · 100 Mana Runes 150 Mana Orbs · 100 Mana Runes
Uncommon Uncommon 20 Mana Orbs · 20 Mana Runes 30 Mana Orbs · 20 Mana Runes
Common Common 10 Mana Orbs · 10 Mana Runes 15 Mana Orbs · 10 Mana Runes

Strategies

  • Spend Crystals (Mana Crystals) on newly released sets to benefit from the 50% bonus Orbs from duplicates.
  • Newer players should focus on crafting Origins as its card pack have lower drop rates and it is cheaper to craft than the other Standard sets. Additionally, Origins will not rotate out of Standard.
  • Crafting Mythics from a specific set increases your chances of pulling Masterpieces from the 400 Mana Jewels Mythic+ Elite packs of that set. Craft all the Mythics in the Elite Pack's card pool and you are guaranteed to pull a Masterpiece from the 400 Mana Jewels Mythic+ Elite Pack.
