Card pack

5,344 bytes added, 27 January
Elite packs by set
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. Waiting will not change them. 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 some packs, e.g. Elite packs, are fixed when they are awarded or bought. Waiting to open them will never change what sets or card groups their contents may be drawn from. The contents of other packs 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, or the [[Elite pack tracking]] articles.

† Vanguards and selected other cards are excluded. Over 90% of Standard cards are included, and no Masterpiece cards are excluded.
 
★ 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
 
Around [[AFR]], releases of selected cards were offered in the Vault: packs of a single color, and later, themed, named packs. An example of the latter is "Bloody Glory", a [[Kaldheim]] pack accessing 30% of the set's cards at a 50% higher price and up to 19 times higher rate of rare cards: {{Rarity|C|20}} 96.39%, {{Rarity|U|20}} 82.12%, {{Rarity|R|20}} 54.48%, {{Rarity|M|20}} 27.81%, and 7.07% chance of a Masterpiece.

== Packs and releases ==
=== Hibernum expansions ===
As of October 2022, there were 37 sets released, but there are only 34 [[Card pack#Regular pack types|Booster pack]]s available. [[Eldritch Moon]] cards were moved into [[Shadows over Innistrad]] packs, [[Oath of the Gatewatch]] to [[Battle for Zendikar]], and [[Aether Revolt]] was rolled into [[Kaladesh]].[https://forums.d3go.com/discussion/66406/expansion-creep] Hibernum made them expansion sets; they are , as of 2022, not available to purchase on their own,[https://forums.d3go.com/discussion/69211/event-rewards] although they have been offered as prizes on occasion.
Not only do they not have their own packs, they Subsets only contain one-third or so of the associated Magic: the Gathering set's cards. Commons were the first to go, and none of the three have a single {{Rarity|C|45}}. Not having Masterpieces is a separate issue; [[KLD]] was the first to have {{Rarity|MP|45}}, [[AER]] has them, and [[BFZ]] and [[SOI]] do not.
Because they have no packs, they tend to have their main Main set's cards or packs are often offered as rewards in their own subset events. , and presumably to offset card availability imbalance, Eldritch Moon even had its cards given as rewards in the main set's event: as :As of October 2022, an [[EMN]] Rare is still given as a reward in [[Avacyn's Madness]]; not in a pack, but "loose", as are rewards for [[Training (Story)|Training]]:Special 5-card booster packs with 65 of the 67 [[Eldritch Moon]] cards were constructed to award as additional, holiday season prizes in the December 2022 running of [[Avacyn's Madness]].
[[Hour of Devastation]] was the first set to not be added to the pool of cards of the previous, odd-numbered release. All of this may sound dire, but most of it either benefits the player or balances out. Commons tend to be less useful. Not having Masterpieces means that more powerful cards tend to be found at the Mythic or even Rare level, to which {{Card URL|Omniscience}} and {{Card URL|Whir of Invention}} attest. Players were concerned, when Hour of Devastation was announced, that its large card pool would make acquiring [[Amonkhet]] cards too difficult, but it was not made into an expansion. The small size of the three expansion sets, with their smaller card pool, less diluted their main sets.  === VIP Cards ===[[VIP]] memberships are a way to pay in real world money for more cards. There are 3 levels of Plan offered, and many Tiers: renewing a membership increases VIP Tier, leading to bonuses.

== Booster packs by set ==
The drop rate of Booster packs released early on vary from those released today, and from each other. Releases after a certain point in time [[M20]] all have the same probabilities now, if they did not at release. The first set with Sets as far back as [[Kaladesh]] had or were given the same probabilities as today , but the set that began the current continuity of unvarying 97.96%, 91.58%, 24.13%, 6.96%, 0.36% probabilities is confirmed to be either [[Core Set 2019]] or [[Guilds of Ravnica2020]].

== Elite packs by set ==
Elite pack probabilities vary throughout MtGPQ history, up to and including the present. The contents are chosen from a selection, not from the whole set. Thus Elite Packs from the same set, offered months apart, may vary in their probabilities, and therefore from these listings. However, the differences are likely small; the only known difference is between two [[BRO]] packs, with a 0.01% variation between them. A very common probability combination for the Rare+ packs is 74.63% chance of getting a Rare, 22.39% chance of getting a Mythic, and 2.99% chance of getting a Masterpiece. For the Mythic packs, the probabilities are often 71.43% chance of a M{{Rarity|M|40}} and 28.57% chance of a MP{{Rarity|MP|40}}.
