Crafting

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 (), and Crafting converts Orbs into new cards.

Crafting cards

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.

The crafted card is a guaranteed non-duplicate card. 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.

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

Card set

Standard card sets may be selected individually for crafting, with one exception: the newest Standard set cannot be crafted until the following main line card set is 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.

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.

Crafting costs

* Masterpiece cards are only craftable via a VIP reward

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	2,500  · 2,500	3,750  · 2,500
Mythic	500  · 500	750  · 500
Rare	100  · 100	150  · 100
Uncommon	20  · 20	30  · 20
Common	10  · 10	15  · 10

Strategies

• Spend 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.
• Crafting Mythics from a specific set increases your chances of pulling Masterpieces from the 400  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  Mythic+ Elite Pack.
