I opened a few because its its really frustrating when you have nothing to open in a TCG). I convinced myself that the timer on XLN boosters may be the deadline for something ... Regular droprates maybe ... Not gonna lie...I've literally packed better cards from the last 2 weeks worth of free 1-card boosters than I did from the 5 XLN premium packs I purchased.

Yeah I'm not trusting the drop percentages after getting 1 mythic from 5 rivals premium packs.

In the case of Rivals of Ixalan, combining that with its smaller set size means that it seems to have a more attractive drop rate. Hi @Brigby I'm sorry but this doesn't make sense mathematically. ixalan has 181 cards available in the lootable set with 26 mythics. that's 14.36 % mythics.rivals has 99 lootable cards in the set with 17 mythics. That's 17.17% mythics.So if we go just by the number of cards in a set vs the number of mythics then yes the percentage drop rate would be slightly lower for ixalan vs rivals but only by a couple of percentage points.in order for the math to justify 13% drop rate in ixalan vs 38% in rivals which is a 292% difference I will use ixalan as the base percentage as that is the discussion point.rivals would have to only contain 62 cards in the set to make it valid.or the other way for rivals to have the same drop ratio as ixalan the set would need to contain a total of 289 cards with 41.5 mythics but if we multiply across by 292% rivals would contain 50 mythics at it's current mythic to set ratio.It may not seem like a big difference but it is in fact nearly a 20% change.For the set ratios to match up ixalans drop rate should be changed to roughly 23.66 for mythics. which would make it the same ratio as mythics to set size as rivals is.
Matthew said: I haven't seen anyone say it, so I'll be that guy:They're doing it to entice people to spend more on Rivals. Higher drop rates makes you think to yourself "Hmmm, I really want a new mythic. RIX has awesome drop rates, so I'll go there. No big deal that it costs 20 crystals more than literally any other PP."Then you spend your 6.6% extra crystals on that set. And maybe do it a few more times. And before you realize it, you're wondering why your crystal reserves are low. Suddenly, spending money to get more crystals doesn't look like that terrible of an idea. And bam, they've got you.

It used to be they would get the new, but the last few releases saw hoarded packs getting grandfathered in. So, 50/50
DumasAG said: In summary, the drop rate for IXL is utter rubbish and something needs to be done. I vote that RtO have a "bonus mythic pack" like the journeys through history do for DOM rares.
