Surging Sparks
BoostedMore hits than a sealed pack.
How it works
We start from the odds of a sealed pack. Kinds of hits found at least once every 30 packs come out more often, until the cards are worth about 85% of the price on average. Plain cards make room. When card prices are high, those kinds can come out less often instead. The rarest kinds never come out less often. Cards too scarce to buy are left out (see Odds).
