The statistics annex

The useful part under the joke

Blessings are the entertainment. These tools are the actual product: estimates, clearly sourced, clearly labeled, and allergic to promises.

Pack odds explainer

Turn “1 in 100” into an honest probability across however many packs you're eyeing. Learn why 100 packs ≠ guaranteed.

Estimated expected value per pack and per sealed product, with hit-by-hit breakdowns, confidence grades and sample sizes.

The tool that saves the most money on this entire website. Compare the single's price against the pack-gambling route.

Browse each set's chase slots, their estimated rates, and the fastest (read: purchasable) route to the card.

TCG Prayer demo dataset. Placeholder pull-rate numbers used to demonstrate the tools. Clearly labeled as demo data and not verified against real openings.
Printed pack-insert odds. Some publishers print approximate rarity odds on packaging or product pages. When adopted, each row cites the specific product and date checked.
Community opening surveys. Large community-run opening tallies. When adopted, we record the source URL, sample size, and review date, and grade confidence accordingly.
Market price snapshots. Card market values used in EV estimates change daily. Values shown are snapshots, not live quotes, and are labeled with their review date.
