TREASURE CHEST CONTENTS - October 29

The following is a breakdown of what you can expect to find in each slot of a Magic Online Treasure Chest.

Each Treasure Chest contains one random selection for Slot 1, one for Slot 2, and one for Slot 3. Slot 4 is a fixed 5 Play Points. Read the table across to identify the rate of each selection.

For each category except 5 Play Points, the selection is made from the table of the same name below. The table consists of cards/digital objects with their respective Relative Drop Rates (RDR). To identify the absolute drop rate of a given item, divide that item's drop rate by the sum of RDR in the table.

• For example, the chance that a Variable Play Point drop will provide 20 Play Points is 450 (the Relative Drop Rate of 20 Play Points) divided by 2,001 (the sum of the Relative Drop Rates for the Variable Play Point table), or approximately 22.5%.

The rarity on the card shown reflects only the original printing of the card and is not indicative of its frequency of appearance in Treasure Chests. All curated cards are non-premium.

When a Modern-Era Rare or Mythic Rare drop is indicated, the specific card that appears could be from any Modern-era set. This doesn't include sets that were never Standard-legal, such as Masters or Horizons sets. Rares and mythic rares in these sets that are banned in Modern are still included. All cards that appear in this category are non-premium.

Each rare will appear twice as often as any given mythic rare, meaning that any rare has a RDR of 2 and each mythic rare has a RDR of 1.

• Rares from sets that did not contain mythic rares, as well as Time Spiral's Timeshifted bonus sheet, still have a RDR of 2.

VARIABLE PLAY POINTS

The first slot in a Treasure Chest has a 35% chance of containing Play Points. If this happens, the table below is consulted to identify the number of Play Points appearing. See above for a description of Relative Drop Rates. If a Variable Play Point drop occurs, it will be combined with the base Five Play Points rather than appearing separately.

CURATED CARD LISTS - October 29

Some cards have multiple versions in the Magic Online Treasure Chest. These are listed separately with the set code for that version listed. Note that a card on the Curated sheet appearing in a specific Treasure Chest doesn't necessarily mean it was a Curated sheet pull; many cards are on both this sheet and the Modern-Era Rare/Mythic Rare sheet.

See above for a description of Relative Drop Rates.

We've added descriptions of promos to help distinguish between multiple versions in the same TC slot.

A note on set symbols:

• PRM indicates a promo that uses the Magic Online promo set symbol or an alternate treatment.
  • From DMU forward, promos uses the set's code rather than PRM
• PZ2 cards use the Magic Online Treasure Chest symbol.
• SPG is the Special Guests set first introduced with Murders at Karlov Manor
