The Lost Caverns of Ixalan Set Booster EV Calculator
Estimate the expected value (EV) of The Lost Caverns of Ixalan Set Booster boxes using live TCGplayer market prices. Updated daily, this calculator uses official set-booster slot odds, rarity weighting, and treatment mappings 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.

Each bar groups simulated box totals after cards are drawn, then Sift is applied to pack hits. X-axis = box value, Y-axis = number of simulations in that range.

Pack contents: Main R/M, two wildcard C/U/R/M (REX consumes part of wildcard mass), 1 foil C/U/R/M, 1 double‑faced C/U, land slot (70% Cave / 30% Core FA; 20% foil), and The List slot (~25%, SPG + non‑SPG). LCC #1–20 Commander cards are modeled in the wildcard R/M pool as an inferred add-on because the Wizards card image gallery shows them as Set Booster-eligible, but Wizards does not publish a standalone inner-slot table for them.
PLST verification: This page models the non‑SPG LCI List wave with an explicit allowlist from the Wizards article above (linked), rather than the whole TCGCSV PLST group.
Do PLST commons drop more often than PLST rares? Yes—rarity weighting is **ON by default**; toggle “rarity‑weighted PLST” off if you want equal‑per‑card.
