Foundations Collector Booster EV Calculator
Estimate the expected value (EV) of Magic: The Gathering Foundations Collector Booster Display using live TCGplayer market prices and the backend collector-box model.
The calculator draws modeled box contents first from the backend slot contributions, then applies included-bucket toggles and optional Sift filtering as post-draw scoring filters.

Backend Collector Booster model
FDN Collector Booster Display uses the published 15-card structure and percentage buckets for foil commons, foil uncommons, character land, two regular-frame foil rare/mythic cards, two nonfoil Borderless/Extended Art rare-or-mythic cards, and the foil finale slot including mana foils, Special Guests, Japan Showcase, and fracture foils. Token inserts are excluded from game-card EV. Draw all pack and display slots first, then apply any Sift or filtering logic afterward.
SnapshotTCG Market + $0.25 SiftBased on TCG Market pricing with Sift applied only after complete modeled contents are drawn.
