Right now: the best rip in Secrets of Strixhaven is the Bundle at $38.94 against $20.30 of expected pulls — a −56% margin after ~15% selling fees. Figures refresh every two hours.
Secrets of Strixhaven (April 24, 2026) heads back to Magic's magical university and revives the set gimmick people actually remember from the first visit: the Mystical Archive, a bonus sheet of iconic spells in ornate frames that turns up alongside the normal slots. The Archive — plus borderless showcase variants — is the chase tier, full stop.
That's also the problem. In our tracker this set currently shows the weakest expected value per pack of any Magic set we cover, because the base rares are shallow and the value concentrates almost entirely in low-frequency Archive and showcase pulls. The guaranteed slots — one rare or mythic (mythic roughly 1 in 7 packs) and one foil, rare-or-better about 1 in 8 — mostly return inexpensive cards. Rates are community estimates.
When a set's EV depends this heavily on bonus-sheet lottery tickets, singles buying wins by a wide margin. The live tables below show today's gap across packs, Collector Boosters and the Bundle.
