Repeat Heros in a Booster Box

Recommended Posts

It is possible, and has already been documented as happening.

As to the chances, you get 6 legendaries per box, and there are 17 legendaries, so your chances of pulling two copies of the same legendary in a box are roughly 12%.  This is assuming actually randomized distribution, and no one's opened and tracked enough of the product to prove that it follows specific print-runs or patterns as yet, so assuming random seems reasonable.  We're seeing adequate amounts of clumping in people's facebook posts about their opens, so it's unlikely they've curated a print run that intentionally puts 4 of the same rare in a booster box (something Magic specifically goes out of their way to prevent, with their complex, curated print run and box filling, as opening a ton of the same rare is, in the majority of cases, a negative buyer experience unless you hit the jackpot with your clump rare).

Us it a garentied 6 or just statistically likely 6 legendaries?

Thanks Chuckles for that statistical info.  That is what I was looking for.  Just wondering how many boxes I should think about buying to get two of the characters I'm looking for.  Of course, I may do better to buy or trade for the cards outright, but I'm sure to buy at least one box and a few extra boosters just for the sheer fun or it.  Also, everyone else, thanks for the additional stats, and the humor.

not being legendary but still characters. I bought three booster 2 Qui gon and 1 padawan there were 6 or 7 boosters in the box left.

 

 

edit: funny how statistics work when talking about them after a factual incident. The stochastics always seem wrong.

Great pull actually!  An all Blue deck (with the right support cards) would be a lot of fun.

Ya that's really nice pull, my 15 boosters yielded a single legendary, and only 2 characters. (I trimmed out the boosters for some other lucky sole). I am pretty happy with Kylo's light saber but i would have loved some more characters
