Alternative Being arrived June 23, 2023 as a compact Digimon Card Game booster: twelve-card packs, 24 per box, but a card list roughly half the size of a main set once you strip out promos. Smaller pools concentrate value, and this one has aged into a set where the box regularly models as positive while the loose pack sits much closer to a coin flip.
The rare slot always pays a Rare; the hit slot pays Super Rare seven packs in ten, Secret Rare about one in five and a Special one in ten. With only four Secret Rares in the pool, each one carries real weight. The chase is the silver alternate-art Omnimon Alter-S Super Rare, then the ShineGreymon: Ruin Mode alternate art and the Omnimon Alter-B alternate art among the Secret Rares.
Two products are tracked, the loose pack and the 24-pack box, and the box has consistently modeled better because 24 packs nearly guarantee a few Secret Rares. The Zwart Defeat Omnimon and ShadowSeraphimon that top the price list are promos, not pulls. Rates are community estimates. Fee-adjusted margins and profit odds for both products sit in the live table below.

FAQ
What are the chase cards in Alternative Being?
The silver alternate-art Omnimon Alter-S Super Rare is the pull everyone wants, with the ShineGreymon: Ruin Mode alternate art and the Omnimon Alter-B alternate art as the Secret Rare chases. The Omnimon Zwart Defeat silver card is a promo rather than a booster pull.
How many packs are in an Alternative Being booster box?
24 packs of twelve cards. With a Secret Rare landing about one pack in five, a full box should average around five, which is why the box line in the live table tends to look healthier than a single pack.
Are Alternative Being pull rates official?
No. Bandai publishes no rates for the Digimon Card Game. The hit-slot odds here are community estimates applied to the standard twelve-card pack model, so the EV is a good approximation rather than a printed guarantee.
What are the odds a Booster Box (24 packs) of Alternative Being pays for itself?
About 95% after ~15% selling fees (98% before fees) as of 2026-10-27, computed from the exact outcome distribution of the Alternative Being pack model rather than a simulation. The median Booster Box (24 packs) returns $113.36 of cards after fees against its $67.77 price, and the chance of at least doubling your money is 25%. These odds refresh with every two-hourly price update.
