Then we'll talk about the breakdown of Eternal Masters specifically, and wrap things up with an expected value driven by what Mythics could be in Eternal Masters. We are going to talk a bit about how limited print run sets differ from "normal," print-to-demand sets. Discounting the foil in every pack and all the Commons and Uncommons, the fake list pegged the expected value of a box of Eternal Masters at a laughably impossible $717. ![]() Since you get approximately 21 Rares in a box of Eternal Masters, these 21 cards would add another $441 to the expected value of a box. The fake list had an average Rare value of $21. Considering that you'll get three Mythics from a typical box of Eternal Masters (MSRP $240), just the Mythics alone would make buying a box of Eternal Masters plus EV. The average value of a Mythic Rare from the list was an astounding $92. While we can't determine exactly which cards will be in the set, using expected value (EV) can give us a good idea if our predictions are within the realm of possibility and figure out the types of cards that will be in the set.įor an example of the danger of predicting a Magic set without taking account expected value, take the fake spoiler list someone posted to 4Chan and Reddit a few days ago. In all honesty, the real reason I wanted to do this article was to present the expected value framework for Eternal Masters, so you'll be able to make your own predictions in a mathematically sound manner. While these are my predictions, I'll be thrilled if I'm right about a handful of these cards, so please, please, please don't make any rash financial decisions based on this article. ![]() Before talking about the set and the cards, I should put out a disclaimer: trying to guess what cards will be in a Magic set is extremely difficult, and today's article is highly speculative. While important, figuring out what will not be in a set is far less fun and exciting than trying to figure out what will be in the set, which is what we will be doing today. Last time we talked about Eternal Masters our focus was on the Reserve List cards that would not be in the set.
