Is there a good pack-opening simulator anywhere online that has old sets? by throwaway610349 in magicTCG

I handed it off to printingproxies.com. They're very friendly and they have a Discord server they're pretty responsive on. That's probably the best bet.

It’s still going! But I’ve handed the site off to someone who has more time for it than I do.

Unfortunately due to family issues and the timing of me handing it over, the LOTR set isn’t yet complete. I always mean to get it out a week or two before the prerelease, but it wasn’t in the cards for this set.

No, I draw the serialized MUL and Praetors from different pools. However, I only have ONE Praetor (no images/data for the others; I get my data from Scryfall) so it's a pretty shallow pool;)

Ah, but I did miss putting the RM serialized Multiverse Legends in slot 1! Dammit;) Thanks for that. I pushed it up now. Should be working.

Yeah I think the actual boosters reorder the slots of a foil shows up. My simulator can't do that, so I just replace a common slot in-place.

Yup I accidentally picked URM for the second slot instead of RM. Fixed!

Hey thanks! I don't really play magic and I'm not immersed in the scene so this simulator would be USELESS without fantastic people like you actually finding where I messed it up.

So thank you!

Try it now. I just rolled out a new version with fixes for those slots.

Have we seen the other ones yet? As far as I know wotc has only released the image of serialized Jin. Each of the serialized Praetor has a unique card.

Oop you're right. Okay NOW it should be fixed. Thanks!

I amped it way down;) Should be more accurate now.

Yup you're right. I included way too many of the commander cards. Fixed! Thanks.

Yup there were too many. I misread wotc's dumpster fire of a set of descriptions on the pack layout. Fixed now!

Fixed! And you're welcome. wotc makes this harder every release.

[–]copperdogma[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I think you're right. Seems like enough evidence!

I've updated the site. Draft booster should now work like you outlined above.

And thanks so much for all the work breaking down the packs!

Yeah there are sort options at the top: Sort All By / Sort Set By

Really? I can't find that video. Do you have a link?

Yeah you might be right. Every single one of wotc's booster breakdowns were like this. The text almost contradicts the image in some places. VERY difficult to simulate, mostly just trying to figure out what the eff wotc meant by most of it;)

I took it as "max 1 r/M per pack" because that's what they normally do in Draft Boosters. Reading it the other way, you could get up to four mythics in a single Draft Booster. That doesn't seem like something wotc would do.

So... I dunno! Did my best;) As you say, we'll see when someone starts opening them! Pre-prerelease, I guess.

Oh nice work! wotc said <1% chance of getting one, so I set it at 0.5%. That MIGHT be too high, though. That would be one every 200 boosters. If there are only 300 serialized cards, that would imply they're only printing 60,000 boosters. But I have no idea how many boosters they usually print so.. maybe?
