Common Cards

Commons are the backbone of any deck, typically comprising lower-cost cards that establish the groundwork for your strategy. They are abundant in booster packs, with each pack containing 9 common cards.

Uncommon Cards

Slightly more potent than Commons, Uncommons provide interesting combo opportunities and may feature characters with intriguing abilities. You’ll find 3 Uncommon cards per booster pack.

Rare Cards

Booster packs contain a slot reserved for either a Rare or a Legendary card. Rares often serve as the cornerstone of deck strategies and can vary widely in value.

Legendary Cards

Legendary cards, prized for their scarcity and gameplay utility, are a rare find, appearing in approximately 1 in 8 booster packs. These cards significantly enhance deck potential and hold considerable value for collectors and players alike.

Starter Deck Exclusive Cards

Exclusive to Starter Decks, these cards provide a beginner-friendly entry point into the game, offering straightforward mechanics for new players.

Showcase Cards

Showcase cards, featuring unique artwork and foil treatment, are exceptionally rare, with odds of finding one in a booster box being 1 in 12. These cards maintain their original rarity level but hold significant value due to their scarcity.

Hyperspace Cards

Hyperspace cards, another variant with extended art, are relatively common, appearing in approximately 2 out of every 3 packs. However, rare Hyperspace variants, especially in foil, are more elusive, with odds of 1 in 50 packs.
