What follows is a list of the order that rares occur in booster packs in
Odyssey. What this list means is, that if you open a particular rare in
a booster, the pack *underneath* that one in the same box will probably
have the next card in the list. So for example if you open a Mirari, the
pack underneath will probably have Nefarious Lich. Foils are *not* part
of the sequence; if the pack below Mirari has a foil, then the pack
below that one will probably have a Nefarious Lich. The sequence loops
around; the pack after Graceful Antelope will probably have a Mirari.
The list has been extensively verified. It works for every box. Most
rares will be followed by the next card in the sequence. Breaks only
occur a few times per box, either for a foil or to jump to a different
part of the sequence.
It is our hope that rares will be more randomized in the future, to
prevent people from taking advantage of the order by buying only packs
with good rares. We present this list to prevent some people from having
an advantage over others.
In the meantime, if you are a store owner, please shuffle your packs
after opening a booster box, so that no-one can come into the store and
"cherry-pick" the box for the high-value rares. If you are a tournament
organizer, please shuffle the packs that the players use for limited
events. If you are a player, please tell the store owners and tournament
organizers you know to shuffle their packs.
