ACCURATE BOOSTER COMPOSITION Booster sheet data derived from publicly available sources.

THE RIP IS EVERYTHING Swipe to tear the foil wrapper. Tap to reveal your cards one at a time. Commons flip fast. Rares pause, glow, and hit harder. Mythic pulls get a cinematic entrance - screen darkens, particles burst, shimmer sweeps across the card. Every pull feels different. FOIL CARDS GET THE SPOTLIGHT Foil pulls are visually distinct everywhere - a gold "FOIL" badge appears on the reveal, in the pack summary, across your collection, and on the card inspect view. Filter your collection to show only the cards you own foil copies of. A METAL-SHADER FOIL SYSTEM Foil cards shimmer with a real-time treatment that responds to motion. In Settings → Card Motion, choose Gyro (foil moves with your phone), Idle (gentle automatic sweep), or None. Tap and hold any card in the inspect view to tilt it manually in 3D.
