Bil said: However, there a very few mythics accessible in PPs in this set ... Maybe that might have an impact on the frequency of mythic drops despite the numbers ?
greenmeanie said: I think it's a good thing that they cut back on the Mythics in War. Mythics should be very hard to get. I think they went over board with putting them out in previous sets. If you compare the rare drop rate to paper magic, paper magic has 15 cards per pack and one rare per pack. Our booster are 5. By math you should get one rare out of every 3 boosters. Getting a dupe should be expected.
Boogeyman said: Guys, I literally spend 3000 gold and opened 9 premium packs today....1 mythic (no dupes)... 2 new rares(7 dupes).... That's it. I still have commons and uncommons that haven't dropped. The mythic percentages are NOT RIGHT. @Brigby Can you please make sure these percentages are right on the spark mythics. I opened over 9 premium packs (45 packs - 459 cards) and got 1 mythic (no dupes). Either my luck is terrible or the 30% number is wrong.

Your result certainly sucks, but what you describe is completely consistent with the published drop rates.The chance of opening 1 or fewer mythics fom 9 PPs is 17%. What happened to you is designed to happen, and will happen over the long run, to 1 in 6 people. We might think it couldn't possibly happen to us, buy why not? 1 in 6 mtgpq players, even only those opening 9 PPs, is a whole lot of people.

Narcoticsagent said: Ok I have a question for Volrak. Why are 2 mythics more likely than 4 mythics?
