Is Dominaria Remastered Worth Opening? MTG Draft Booster EV

Right now: the best rip in Dominaria Remastered is the Draft Booster Box (36 packs) at $269.37 against $228.14 of expected pulls — a −28% margin after ~15% selling fees, and a 9% chance it actually pays for itself. Figures refresh every two hours.

Dominaria Remastered (January 13, 2023) is a reprint set of cards from Magic's home plane, sold in 15-card Draft Boosters: one rare or mythic, three uncommons, ten commons and a land, with a foil replacing a common about one pack in three. Each pack also includes one retro-frame card of any rarity. Draft Boosters were retired in 2024, so supply is fixed.

Force of Will and Vampiric Tutor are the chase mythics, with Sylvan Library, Yawgmoth, Thran Physician and Urza's Incubator behind them, and Enlightened Tutor, Worldly Tutor and Exploration lead the rares. Each appears in regular, Retro Frame and Borderless rows. The retro-frame slot can deliver the Retro Frame versions; the Borderless ones are Collector Booster cards. The depth of the tutor package is what holds the set's value.

The model doesn't price the retro-frame slot, so the live EV is understated by one card per pack, and with Force of Will on that sheet the gap isn't trivial. Loose packs and the 36-pack Draft Booster Box are tracked; Set and Collector Boosters aren't modeled. Mythics take about one rare slot in 7.4. Current numbers are in the table below.

FAQ

How many packs are in a Dominaria Remastered booster box?

A Draft Booster Box holds 36 packs of 15 cards. Collector Boosters were sold separately with different contents and aren't modeled here.

What are the chase cards in Dominaria Remastered?

Force of Will and Vampiric Tutor, followed by Sylvan Library, Yawgmoth, Thran Physician, Enlightened Tutor, Worldly Tutor and Exploration. The Borderless versions on the price list come from Collector Boosters, not Draft Boosters.

Does the model count the retro-frame card in each pack?

No. Every Draft Booster carries one retro-frame card of any rarity, but only the rare-or-mythic and foil slots are priced, so the live EV is a conservative floor.

What are the odds a Draft Booster Box (36 packs) of Dominaria Remastered pays for itself?

About 9% after ~15% selling fees (24% before fees) as of 2026-10-27, computed from the exact outcome distribution of the Dominaria Remastered pack model rather than a simulation. The median Draft Booster Box (36 packs) returns $189.85 of cards after fees against its $269.37 price, and the chance of at least doubling your money is under 0.5%.
