Right now: the best rip in Time Spiral Remastered is the Draft Booster Box (36 packs) at $396.38 against $187.25 of expected pulls — a −60% margin after ~15% selling fees, and a 0% chance it actually pays for itself. Figures refresh every two hours.
Time Spiral Remastered (March 21, 2021) reissues the Time Spiral block 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. Every pack also carries one retro-frame timeshifted card from a bonus sheet of Magic's history. Draft Boosters were retired in 2024, so supply is fixed.
Gemstone Caverns, Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth, Sliver Legion, Akroma's Memorial and Damnation lead the main set, with Tarmogoyf and Pact of Negation behind them. A small rare pool means the rare slot lands on a known name more often than usual. Much of the price list, though, is timeshifted: Yawgmoth, Thran Physician, Chalice of the Void, Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker and Thoughtseize.
That bonus slot is the catch. The model doesn't price the timeshifted card, so the live EV is understated by one card in every pack, and on this set it's a meaningful one. Loose packs and the 36-pack Draft Booster Box are tracked; Set and Collector Boosters aren't modeled. Read the table below as a floor, not a full valuation.
