The current wording for (%) percentage chance list is: "The percentages below refer to the odds of getting at least one card from the associated rarity within the entire purchase "
Once acquired, a card pack may be opened at any time. Opening a card pack provides a fixed number of random cards, generally from the same [[Portal:Cards|card set]]. These opened cards may be new for the player, or already owned ("duplicates" or "dupes").
* New cards are added to the player's collection, and may subsequently be added to [[Deck|Decks]].
* Duplicate cards are converted to runes ({{Runes}}) and mana orb ({{Orbs}}) [[Resources]].
The contents of the pack are determined when opened, so what determines the contents may change before it is opened. I.e., cards from new sets may be added to the possibilities, and cards from [[Standard]] that rotate out to [[Legacy]] may be removed, and some pack contents are purposely preserved. Information about what a pack will and will not contain is usually found first, and first hand, from [[Coalitions]] and MtGPQ Discord channels.
==Rarities==
Each card has a rarity of either Common {{Rarity|C|35}}, Uncommon {{Rarity|U|35}}, Rare {{Rarity|R|35}}, Mythic {{Rarity|M|35}}, or Masterpiece {{Rarity|MP|35}}. Progressively rarer cards are less likely to drop from packs, according to drop rates set by the publisher. Drop rates may change at any time.
Some rarities never drop from some pack types. Normally, cards of all rarity except Masterpiece can be obtained by [[Crafting]]. Masterpiece cards may only be crafted as a [[VIP]] bonus.

★ If, for example, the player owns all {{Rarity|C|35}}, {{Rarity|U|35}} and {{Rarity|R|35}} cards, non-duplicate packs can contain only {{Rarity|M|30}} and {{Rarity|MP|35}} cards. Therefore, the percentages shown must be a starting point: the probabilities as if no cards were owned
