Limitations

• Bushiroad publishes the physical recipe: 8 cards per pack, 12 packs per display, and 24 displays per carton. The announced display extra is 1 of 6 Going First/Going Second cards; it is outside this ordinary-only no-chase model and does not add a 97th ordinary position. The separate Tournament Store Assist pack is a conditional store redemption, and the announced stitched playmat per carton is an accessory; neither receives modeled ordinary-card value.
• Bushiroad lists 111 normal card types and 111 parallel card types. The model contains 112 ordinary physical printings across 111 base numbers: Birthday Present A and B, #SFN/S108-E065a U and #SFN/S108-E065b U, divide one base-number weight equally. Each variant contributes 16/37 expected copies per display and 4/111 per pack; every other base number contributes 32/37 and 8/111 respectively. These uniform number weights and the equal variant split are modeling assumptions, not factory rarity rates, replacement rules, display guarantees, or pack correlations.
• The reviewed publisher territory includes the United States and Canada. This record does not generalize rates to other English territories.
• This calculator uses the one generated English North America display identity, TCGplayer product 578942, with the November 22, 2024 release record. It does not assign an unqualified loose pack to a printing or value a separately identified later edition. The exact factory wave of that unqualified display identity is not reported by this evidence; accessory availability and excluded signed-card treatments must not be inferred for later reprints.
• Modeling policy approved 2026-07-24: every supported ordinary card in the same slot, rarity, treatment, and finish pool receives one equal positive selection weight. This is a transparent modeling assumption where the publisher or empirical sample gives pool odds but not card-level sheet weights.
• No-chase policy approved 2026-07-24: signed, serialized, hot-stamped, premium, special, secret-plus, parallel, promotional, and equivalent chase cards and branches do not exist in this model. The exact physical card count is drawn only from the supported ordinary pool; there is no simulated chase hit, zero-EV occupied outcome, redraw, backfill, or renormalization.
• Simulation ordering is draw the complete disclosed no-chase product first, record that draw, and only then apply Sift or another user filter. Sift never changes or backfills the completed modeled draw.
• Best-evidence Weiss Schwarz baseline approved 2026-07-24: the publisher's exact cards-per-pack and packs-per-display are modeled as ordinary draws from the exact English TCGCSV normal-card pool. This is a transparent assumption-based estimate, not a claim about factory rarity collation, replacement rules, display guarantees, or pack correlation.
• When multiple ordinary physical variants share one published card number, their positive weights divide one card-number weight equally so variants do not inflate the publisher's normal-card type count.
