The Lost Caverns of Ixalan Set Booster EV Calculator
Estimate the expected value (EV) of The Lost Caverns of Ixalan Set Booster boxes using daily generated TCGplayer price snapshots. Updated daily, this calculator uses published set-booster structure, rarity weighting, treatment mappings, and documented proxy assumptions for realistic pack value projections.
Each sealed box is modeled using the listed LCI pack/slot configuration below (including set-specific behavior such as bonus-sheet and treatment-family buckets where applicable). Simulations always draw full pack contents first, then apply optional Sift filtering afterward so EV follows true opening order.
Set theme: The Lost Caverns of Ixalan is themed around subterranean exploration, ancient civilizations, and artifact-rich adventure, blending dinosaurs, vampires, merfolk, and pirates with discovery-focused flavor.

Pack Structure
Each The Lost Caverns of Ixalan Set Booster contains 12 game cards. The model tracks 13 physical positions because the final List/token-ad position is occupied in every pack, but its token/ad branch is not a game card and contributes zero EV.
Future EV calculations should draw all 30 Set Boosters and the display Box Topper first, then apply any Sift or filtering logic after the draw.
Art card: Art cards are not playable opened game-card EV contents. Token/ad card branch of the List slot: Token and ad-card outcomes occupy their real slot but contribute no card EV. Non-game inserts are not counted toward EV unless the model explicitly lists them.
