Is the drop rate different in theme packs, or is it just generally a bad deal?
As far as I can tell you could use 600 crystals to get:
70 Origins cards plus a guaranteed rare/mythic chance
75 SOI/EM cards plus a guaranteed rare/mythic chance
or
30 theme pack cards plus two guaranteed rares/mythic chances
I'm just wondering what the community thoughts are on theme packs generally. Do they have more favorable rates to make up for the very large general draw count loss? Does the reduced pool really in fact translate to more higher rarity on average?

anecdotally, I've had good luck with the theme packs. I bought 2 of the black creatures and 1 of the eldrazi one when they were out and was getting 1-2 mythics per and 4-5 rares. I actually pulled Olivia out of one. Almost every other card was a dupe.

Give it a shot. Best way to find out is to start opening packs. Once you draw all dupes, stop.

It depends on your collection. I have all the commons/uncommons, so I'm chasing mythics and rares. You can look at the available cards for that set by clicking on the "i". 300
for a guaranteed rare or better is a better value than 600
for a guaranteed rare or better. Plus if you have a particular card you want, you will be more likely to pull it from the smaller set on a card by card basis.
