Theros Beyond Death Draft Booster Box EV Calculator

Estimate the expected value (EV) of Theros Beyond Death 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.

A display contains 36 Draft Boosters of 15 game cards. Each pack draws a Nyx basic land, 3 uncommons, a rare or mythic, and 10 commons; a traditional foil replaces one common in one-third of modeled packs. The 536 printing/finish outcomes include all 14 constellation Showcase and borderless variants. The pinned MTGJSON allocation, including the one-third alternate-frame split and foil inner-sheet weights, is an explicit community reconstruction rather than publisher-certified individual odds. Draw all 540 cards before applying Sift or pool filters, without rerolls or backfill. Exact selected-source prices are used; missing quotes remain unknown and yield disclosed priced-card subtotals.

Pack Structure

Each Theros Beyond Death Draft Booster is modeled with 15 game-card slots.

Commons10, or 9 when a foil replaces one

101 nonfoil common printings.

Uncommons3 per pack

80 identities across 85 main and Showcase printings. Community allocation reserves one-third of each eligible demigod identity for its Showcase frame.

Rare / Mythic1 per pack

53 rare and 15 mythic identities across 77 main, borderless and Showcase printings. Individual rare-to-mythic weights are 2:1; special frames use the pinned community allocation.

Nyx basic land1 per pack

Five full-art Nyx basic lands, allocated uniformly. A foil Nyx land can also appear in the foil replacement slot.

Traditional foil1 in one-third of modeled packs

One of all 268 eligible Draft printings replaces a common. Rarity and printing weights follow the pinned community reconstruction.

Draw every 15-card pack and the complete 540-card display before Sift or included-pool scoring. No reroll or backfill is applied. Token/ad cards and separate promotional gifts are outside this product.

Release-specific model analysis

What drives Theros Beyond Death Booster Box

Product profile. This draft booster box resolves 540 card positions across 536 named outcomes. The model snapshot dated July 8, 2026 contains 202 Common, 170 Uncommon, 106 Rare, 48 Mythic Rare, 10 Basic Land. Its largest slot groups are 268 thb draft foil, 101 thb draft common, 85 thb draft uncommon, 77 thb draft raremythic, 5 thb draft basic. Every listed outcome contributes to the published baseline unless the visitor applies a post-draw filter.

Largest modeled weights. Forest #254 (7.20 expected per draft booster box), Island #251 (7.20 expected per draft booster box), Mountain #253 (7.20 expected per draft booster box), Plains #250 (7.20 expected per draft booster box), Swamp #252 (7.20 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. Acolyte of Affliction #206, Agonizing Remorse #83, Allure of the Unknown #207, Altar of the Pantheon #231, Omen of the Sun #30, Unknown Shores #249, Flicker of Fate #16, Nyxborn Marauder #109. 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, 536 modeled outcomes have a usable direct or documented fallback price. The largest deterministic contributions come from Shadowspear #236 ($19.93), Mountain #253 ($14.62), Swamp #252 ($13.32), Island #251 ($12.82), Thassa's Oracle #73 ($12.42). Together those five rows account for 29.5% 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.
