Right now: the best rip in Ascended Heroes is the Booster Bundle at $80.66 against $42.74 of expected pulls — a −55% margin after ~15% selling fees. Figures refresh every two hours.
Ascended Heroes is a special set, released January 30, 2026, and it sells the special-set way: Elite Trainer Boxes, Booster Bundles and collection boxes only — no booster box, no Build & Battle. That scarcity format has historically pushed sealed prices far above what the packs return, and the EV math here has reflected it.
One honest caveat: our model runs this set on the shared Mega Evolution slot template. Its extra Mega Attack Rare chase tier and its above-average Special Illustration Rare density aren't separately modeled, so the EV shown likely runs conservative. Even with a generous mental adjustment, though, the premium on sealed has been steep enough that the gap doesn't close.
Under the template, the hit slot pays an Illustration Rare roughly 1 in 9 packs, a Special Illustration Rare about 1 in 33, and a gold Mega Hyper Rare near 1 in 83 — all early community estimates for the era. Check the live table below; if any product gets close to break-even, it'll be the bundle.

FAQ
Does Ascended Heroes have a booster box?
No. It's a special set sold through 9-pack Elite Trainer Boxes, 6-pack Booster Bundles and collection boxes. There's no 36-pack booster box and no Build & Battle Box.
Why might the EV shown for Ascended Heroes be conservative?
The set uses the shared Mega Evolution slot template, which doesn't separately model its extra Mega Attack Rare chase tier or its above-average Special Illustration Rare density. Both would push true EV somewhat higher than the template's figure.
What is the rarest modeled pull in Ascended Heroes?
The gold Mega Hyper Rare, at roughly 1 in 83 packs by community estimates. The set's own Mega Attack Rare chase cards sit outside the model entirely.
