![]() Your third slot is going to have a whole lot of options, each one making the other more rare. QUICK DRAFT STRIXHAVEN GUIDE ARCHIVESlot #3: Traditional foil Mystical Archive (global or Japanese alternate-art version) rare or mythic rare, borderless mythic rare, or extended-art rare or mythic rare – You’re reading that right. Japanese, but the uncommon versions of these cards are going to be impressively easy to use. Slot #2: Foil-Etched Mystical Archive Uncommon – There are 18 Mystical Archive uncommons, so this is very straightforward. You’ve got a 50/50 chance of this card being global language or Japanese. If this one is in the global language, then Slot 2 will be a Japanese card, or vice versa. You have a 1/37.5 chance of pulling a given rare, and a 1/75 chance of getting a specific mythic. ![]() This is true, but the chances aren’t equal. Turian uses a misleading framing here, saying you can get any of those 45 cards. Slot #1: Foil-Etched Mystical Archive rare or mythic – With 30 rares and 15 mythics, you’d expect a 1/45 chance for any given card. Here’s the image Wizards used as a summary, and what the odds are for certain cards. With that settled, let’s get into some of the details. This is also why uncommons get their own slot. I’m writing this guide before we know all 45 cards that are in the Mystical Archive, but when a card’s rarity is revealed, you should remember that rares will be twice as common as mythics unless they tell us something else specifically, like they did with the Draft Booster slot. Your booster will have a third Mystical Archive card, which has a 50/50 chance for being global or Japanese. In Collector Boosters, you’re going to get at least one global Mystical Archive spell and one Japanese Mystical Archive card. QUICK DRAFT STRIXHAVEN GUIDE UPDATEWhen I’m able to find that, or some helpful person links it to me in the comments or on Twitter, I’ll update this post. That’s how it works out with the 67%/26.4%/6.6% math that we’re told.ĭraft Boosters also have a chance for traditional foil Mystical Archive spells, but the exact ratio isn’t known. ![]() For that slot, 10/15 openings will be an uncommon, 4/15 will be a rare, and 1/15 will be mythic. Non-foil Mystical Archive spells have a guaranteed slot in Draft Boosters. (Note that nonfoil Japanese alt-art versions can only be found in Japanese-language Set and Draft boosters.) So yes, there’s four foil versions of each Mystical Archive spell to go with two nonfoil versions. This applies to both the global and the Japanese. When it comes to the Mystical Archive spells, there is both a traditional foil treatment and an etched-foil treatment. Global refers to the language that the rest of the cards is in. Just to make this easier for me to write, when I say Japanese version, I mean the alternate-art Mystical Archive card. All of this information has been taken from the stream on Thursday and the Collecting Strixhaven article released the same day. ![]() We don’t know exactly all of the cards in the Mystical Archive yet, but we know how many of those cards there are, and therefore how many alternate-art, Japanese-language Mystical Archive cards there are as well. This will DEFINITELY affect your buying patterns once the set is out, so let me walk you through how frequently you’re going to see different versions of the cards in the set. Buckle up, everyone, because Wizards made some unexpected decisions when it comes to the distribution of special frames and foils. ![]()
