Battles of Legend: Chapter 1 Box

Is a booster box of BLC1 worth opening?

Box price$12.95TCGplayer market price
Expected value$28.91
If you sell the cards$20.64With a 5% fee and leaving out cards under $0.50
A typical box$19.94The median of 10,000 simulated boxes
You get your money back85%In 9 out of 10 boxes

Yes, on average it pays off: selling the cards from a BLC1 box would get you $20.64, more than the $12.95 it costs. But that's an average: a typical box gives $19.94 and only 85% of boxes get your money back.

How reliable the rates are: good (several sources that agree).

BLC1 pull rates

How many cards of each rarity group come in a 2-pack box, how many packs it takes to pull one specific card of the group and how much the group adds to the box value.

Where the numbers come from

The expected value adds up, for each rarity group, the copies in a box times the average price of its cards (the English card, with its TCGplayer price or, if there isn't one, Cardmarket's converted). The simulation opens 10,000 boxes with the same rates.

Collector box with fixed contents: 1 Secret Rare and 2 packs of 18 cards (1 regular Ultra, 2 colored Ultras and 15 commons each). Here the box is those 2 packs.
