Right now: the best rip in Battles of Legend: Armageddon is the Booster Box [1st Ed] (24 packs) at $185.98 against $119.14 of expected pulls — a −46% margin after ~15% selling fees, and a 6% chance it actually pays for itself. Figures refresh every two hours.
Battles of Legend: Armageddon (BLAR, July 24, 2020) is the oldest set in Yu-Gi-Oh!'s Battles of Legend line tracked here, and the format is the line's signature: five cards per pack, every card a foil, 24 packs per box. There are no Commons or Rares to dilute the pack, so the value question comes down to which Ultra and Secret Rares land and whether the rare top-tier upgrade shows up.
Each pack is modeled as four Ultra Rares plus a Secret Rare slot that upgrades to the set's top tier about once per three boxes. In BLAR that tier is a single card, Number 39: Utopia (Astral) in Starlight Rare. Behind it, Secret Rares of Invocation, Chaos Emperor, the Dragon of Armageddon and Darkness Metal, the Dragon of Dark Steel lead. The Ten Thousand Dragon 10000 Secret Rare tops the price list but sits outside the modeled slots.
Two products are tracked, the 1st Edition booster pack and the 24-pack 1st Edition box. TCGPlayer hasn't priced the loose 1st Edition pack, so its price is estimated from the box until a market price appears. Konami publishes no ratios, and the upgrade rate is a provisional community estimate. The live table below shows the fee-adjusted margin and profit odds for both products.

FAQ
What are the chase cards in Battles of Legend: Armageddon?
Ten Thousand Dragon in 10000 Secret Rare and Number 39: Utopia (Astral) in Starlight Rare top the list by a wide margin. Among regular pulls, the Secret Rares of Invocation, Chaos Emperor, the Dragon of Armageddon, Darkness Metal and Fossil Warrior Skull Knight lead.
Why is the BLAR pack price an estimate?
TCGPlayer doesn't yet carry a market price for the loose 1st Edition pack, so the calculator derives one from the 1st Edition booster box. The daily refresh swaps in a real market price once one is listed.
Are Battles of Legend: Armageddon pull rates official?
No. Konami publishes no ratios, and the once-per-three-boxes top-tier upgrade is a provisional community estimate. With only one Starlight in BLAR, treat that slot as the least certain assumption on the page.
What are the odds a Booster Box [1st Ed] (24 packs) of Battles of Legend: Armageddon pays for itself?
About 6% after ~15% selling fees (28% before fees) as of 2026-10-27, computed from the exact outcome distribution of the Battles of Legend: Armageddon pack model rather than a simulation.
