How to read these odds.

What is published today is the tier shape: the bands this pack draws from, and how often each one comes up. The card-by-card list, every card in the pool with its own chance attached, publishes with the real pool, before anything is for sale.

Each chip

A tier, not a single card. Which card inside that tier you get is a second draw, and the pool below decides it.

The chance

How often that tier comes up over a lot of openings, not a promise about your next pack.

A passing check

Proves the card you got is the card the locked terms and the deciding number produce together, so nobody had to trust us to work it out. It proves nothing about whether the deal was good.

These odds are set in our favour, which is worth saying plainly: we set the pool and we set the chances, and we set them so packs bring in more than the cards they give out. That gap is how the company earns, and this is where you decide whether it suits you.
