Elite Packs are high-value single-card packs which may be purchased for jewels (Mana Jewels).

The contents of previously available Elite Packs are tracked on the wiki at Elite pack tracking.

Rarity probability previously was previously displayed as a chance of any one card from a pack being of a particular rarity. It is now displayed as, to quote Oktagon:

"The percentages below refer to the odds of getting at least one card from the associated rarity within the entire purchase."

Types of Elite Packs

Grade (cost)

Two grades of Elite Packs exist which differ in Jewel cost and drop rates.

Grade Cost Description Drops per 100 cards (typical)
Rare Mythic Masterpiece
Rare+ Elite Pack 120 Mana Jewels Contains a Rare, Mythic, or Masterpiece card, which may be a duplicate. 75 22 3
Mythic+ Elite Pack 400 Mana Jewels Contains a non-duplicate Mythic or Masterpiece card. 0 70 30

Card pool

Aside from the grade of the Elite Packs, there are also different Elite Pack Collections each drawing from a different card pool. Typically for each card set, several Elite Pack Collections exist containing a different subset of the cards in the card set.

Strategies

  • A valuable card may be "chased" by saving jewels to repeatedly buy Mythic+ Elite Packs whose card pool contains the sought-after card. Since Mythic+ packs provide non-duplicate cards, eventually you are sure to acquire the card you are chasing.
  • Duplicates from Elite Packs give Orbs (Mana Orbs) which can be used in crafting. Here, the probability of getting the desired card is based on the number of its rarity remaining in the entire set.
