In paper magic, a pack is 15 cards and a mythic is inserted about one per 8 packs. So, on average, about 1 card in 120 is Mythic. If you were to open a pile of 335 paper cards, you’d also receive about 2-3 Mythics.
I don’t think the problem is the drop rate so much as the price, and the fact that you can’t actually do anything useful with the duplicates. If 5-card packs were 99 cents, 20-card Fat Packs were $2.99 and 70-card Big Boxes were $9.99, and if you could convert your duplicates into a specific card you need, then it wouldn’t feel so bad to open so much product and get jank.
Finally a card I really wanted…
Shrine of the forsaken God
From a 3 card free booster!
Basically almost as valuable as all the card I got in those packs!
To be honest I have always been against ways to convert duplicates into specific cards.
That because I thought to be “too” easy to compete the collection and for me the games loses appeal if you get a full collection.
Some people will disagree but most of those people probably would also stop playing in that case.
Not mentioning they will stop buying.
Anyways I changed my mind about it for 2 reasons.
Basically the chances to get mythics and rares are so low that getting a mythic that you want(cause there are many awful) is too hard.
it looks like they are releasing new content fast enough to overcome any chance to get a complete collection.
So if the conversion prices are not too generous(and we know it won’t) such a solution would be fine.
