Great video - appreciate the walk through of the tracker / tool you've made. A great resource and happy to support you on Patreon! Keep up the great work!
Great breakdown. I had build a similar spreadsheet in gsheets tracking stuff over the first 2 weeks and shared it around with people who wanted to see it. These prices make sense for card sellers and large box breakers. I came at it from a player's perspective trying to put together a playset. First box makes sense to include the ordinaries as you want a playset (which you can usually complete or get 99% of the way there in a box). After that you strip them out. I also didn't include any foils in the calculation of box value. My reasoning was that if you aren't cracking a ton of boxes, you aren't going to have a bunch of foils. Unique foils are extremely rare, so I wouldn't bank on getting one in your box. The average box get 1 elite, 2 exceptional and 3 ordinary foils. You may get lucky and be able to find someone in your local group to buy or sell with. Unless someone is putting a foil set together, players are going to be looking for NF cards for the most part, and blinging out their deck with specific cards across the various levels. I would peg less than 10 cards at each rarity are those cards. If you have those cards great. But if you only have a handful of foils, there is not enough critical mass for you to be worth dealing with online because it is easier to deal with someone that I can get a bunch of the foils I want all in one shot, even if I have to pay more for convenience. My calc was that as a player, you should not be buying more than 2 boxes, and thats only if you want a decent amount of ordinaries to fill out playsets. Great job again.
Yep! Agree...Scenario 2 with no Unique foil is going to be what a lot of people experience unless they're opening up a whole case or more. And thanks for the comment here!
I've seen people say unique foils are one in every other box like Alpha and Beta. However, my experience matches the 0.35 rate above since i pulled 7 out of 20 boxes. A bit disappointed that they have made unique foils more difficult to pull especially since there are still 55 of then excluding elite rarity uniques.
Unique foils are insanely hard to hit....I did get lucky in my final box and hit 2 unique foils in one box...was pretty pumped about that because it's definitely not typical.
Thanks Shibbie!

This is great, could be even better if the EV were reduced by x% representing the fees selling platforms charge.
