Antiquities Draft Booster Box EV Calculator

Estimate the expected value (EV) of Antiquities Booster Box using daily generated TCGplayer price snapshots and the backend draft-box model.

Model assumptions & evidence

This historical model draws all game-card slots first, then applies included-bucket toggles and optional Sift filtering as post-draw scoring filters.

Each pack draws six positions from the historical common sheet and two from the uncommon sheet. C1/C2/C4 and U1/U2/U3 weights come from an archival card-list transcription, corroborated by photographs of the two 121-position sheets. Independent draws with replacement approximate sheet marginals; factory pack order is not reconstructed.

Row fees show pct + txn. Order fees are added only in the summary.

Value Threshold

Prices load from daily generated TCGplayer, Mana Pool, and Cardmarket snapshots. EV applies Sift after modeled contents are drawn.
Rows with Value >= Sift tint green. EV uses Sift only when the toggle is checked.

Pack Structure

Each Antiquities Draft Booster is modeled with 8 game-card slots.

Commons6 cards / pack
Pool: 41 printings across 121 sheet positions.Common slots: 6 expected / pack.
Non-common sheet slots2 cards / pack
Pool: 59 printings across 121 sheet positions.Non-common sheet slots: 2 expected / pack.

Draw all game-card slots first, then apply any Sift or filtering logic afterward.

Non-game inserts are not counted toward EV unless the model explicitly lists them.

Release-specific model analysis

What drives Antiquities Booster Box

Product profile. This draft booster box resolves 480 card positions across 100 named outcomes. The model snapshot dated June 4, 2026 contains 45 Uncommon, 30 Common, 25 Rare. Its largest slot groups are 59 old noncommon sheet, 41 old common. Every listed outcome contributes to the published baseline unless the visitor applies a post-draw filter.

Largest modeled weights. Amulet of Kroog (11.9 expected per draft booster box), Argivian Blacksmith (11.9 expected per draft booster box), Argothian Pixies (11.9 expected per draft booster box), Argothian Treefolk (11.9 expected per draft booster box), Artifact Blast (11.9 expected per draft booster box). These are frequency leaders in the product model, not a promise that any individual opening will contain them.

Release-specific card examples. Argivian Archaeologist, Artifact Possession, Armageddon Clock, Artifact Ward, Ashnod's Altar, Ashnod's Battle Gear, Ashnod's Transmogrant, Atog. Seeing the named pool makes it possible to compare this release with adjacent sets instead of treating every sealed product as the same generic pack calculation.

Reference snapshot value concentration. At the TCGplayer Market snapshot dated August 12, 2026, 100 modeled outcomes have a usable direct or documented fallback price. The largest deterministic contributions come from Mishra's Workshop ($2976.17), Candelabra of Tawnos ($2578.51), Transmute Artifact ($1182.82), Mishra's Factory ($654.54), Power Artifact ($547.56). Together those five rows account for 63.5% of the modeled gross value. This dated reference does not update with the live calculator's prices or Sift settings.

The baseline product model is constructed first, including any documented chase exclusions. The calculator then draws the complete baseline product. Included-pool controls and optional Sift evaluate that completed draw afterward and do not alter its collation.
