Mystery Booster 2019 Convention Display EV Calculator

Estimate the expected value (EV) of a Mystery Booster 2019 Convention Edition Booster Display using the generated MB1 convention-box model and local generated price snapshots.

Model assumptions & evidence

The model draws all 15 cards in every pack first, then applies included-bucket toggles and optional Sift filtering as post-draw scoring filters. Disabled buckets do not backfill.

This calculator models the original 2019 Convention Edition distributed through 2020, with 1,694 base reprints and 121 original CMB1 playtest cards. The changed 2021 edition and Retail foil sheet are different products. Wizards describes fifteen separate 121-card sheets, with one outcome from each sheet per pack. The community MTGJSON sheet mapping is reconciled to the original publisher checklist. Independent packs are a simulation assumption, not a factory sequence or box guarantee. Generated PLST and CMB1 exact-printing prices are used; no original-set prices are substituted.

Selling Fees

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

Value Threshold

Prices load only from generated MB1 card and card-prices snapshots. EV applies Sift after modeled contents are drawn.
Rows with Value >= Sift tint green. EV uses Sift only when the toggle is checked.

Confidence band: -
Each bar groups simulated display totals after modeled contents are drawn, then Sift and included-bucket filters are applied.

Draw all 15 game-card slots first, then apply any Sift or filtering logic after the draw.

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

Release-specific model analysis

What drives Mystery Booster 2019 Convention Edition Booster Display

Product profile. This convention booster box resolves 360 card positions across 1,815 named outcomes. The model snapshot dated July 11, 2026 contains 1060 Common, 452 Uncommon, 152 Rare, 121 S, 30 Mythic Rare. Its largest slot groups are 121 base blacka, 121 base blackb, 121 base bluea, 121 base blueb, 121 base colorless. Every listed outcome contributes to the published baseline unless the visitor applies a post-draw filter.

Largest modeled weights. A Good Thing (Playtest) #86 (0.198 expected per convention booster box), Abian, Luvion Usurper (Playtest) #87 (0.198 expected per convention booster box), Absorb Vis (Mystery Booster) #126 (0.198 expected per convention booster box), Abundant Growth (Mystery Booster) #156 (0.198 expected per convention booster box), Abzan Charm (Mystery Booster) #177 (0.198 expected per convention booster box). These are frequency leaders in the product model, not a promise that any individual opening will contain them.

Release-specific card examples. Abzan Falconer (Mystery Booster) #2, Abzan Guide (Mystery Booster) #162, Academy Journeymage (Mystery Booster) #41, Accursed Spirit (Mystery Booster) #85, Acidic Slime (Mystery Booster) #127, Act of Treason (Mystery Booster) #91, Act on Impulse (Mystery Booster) #126, Adanto Vanguard (Mystery Booster) #1, Ral's Vanguard (Playtest) #1. 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, 1815 modeled outcomes have a usable direct or documented fallback price. The largest deterministic contributions come from Rhystic Study (Old Frame) #45 ($12.41), Slivdrazi Monstrosity (Playtest) #102 ($11.92), Demonic Tutor (Mystery Booster) #49 ($11.80), Teferi's Protection (Mystery Booster) #8 ($9.50), Mana Crypt (Mystery Booster) #225 ($7.95). Together those five rows account for 13.3% 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.
