@wolfymtg I’ve opened rares that would get much lower than 9 out of packs. They’re physical objects so if the booster box got thrown around in transit or the corner of the pack catches on a card it can affect its quality.
Stuff like legacy gear, very rare mounts (ie. Heavenly Onyx Cloud serpent etc.), and tcg mounts/tabards being made this widely available really strips away that feeling of having something special. What's wrong with something being unobtainable or super hard to obtain?
