Right now: the best rip in Darkwing Blast is the Booster Box (24 packs) at $73.35 against $49.99 of expected pulls — a −42% margin after ~15% selling fees, and a 10% chance it actually pays for itself. Figures refresh every two hours.
Darkwing Blast (October 21, 2022) is a standard Yu-Gi-Oh! core booster: nine cards per pack, one Rare and one foil per pack, 24 packs per box, with five Starlight Rares as the top tier. Its Starlight list is one of the stronger ones of the era, which has kept loose packs expensive; margins have recently modeled deeply negative for packs and merely negative for the box.
The foil slot is the model. Community estimates give it a Super Rare 65% of the time, an Ultra Rare a bit over a quarter, a Secret Rare about 1 in 14 packs and a Starlight near 1 in 100. Blazing Cartesia, the Virtuous and Tearlaments Rulkallos are the two Starlights doing the heavy lifting, with Lady Labrynth of the Silver Castle behind them.
Three products are listed: loose packs, the 24-pack box and sleeved packs, which hold the same nine cards at a higher price. The box is by far the cheapest way to buy 24 foil slots, and the live table below shows the fee-adjusted margin and the odds each product clears its cost. Rates are community estimates, and Starlight frequency is the assumption doing the most work.

FAQ
What are the chase cards in Darkwing Blast?
Blazing Cartesia, the Virtuous and Tearlaments Rulkallos in Starlight Rare are the headliners, followed by the Starlight Lady Labrynth of the Silver Castle, Mitsu the Insect Ninja and Black-Winged Dragon. The Secret Rare Rulkallos and The Bystial Lubellion lead the next tier.
Is the Darkwing Blast sleeved booster pack worth it?
Not on EV. The sleeved pack contains the same nine-card booster as a loose pack, so its expected value is identical while it costs more. The 24-pack box is the cheapest route per foil slot; sleeved packs are for people who want the sleeve.
How many packs are in a Darkwing Blast booster box?
24 packs of nine cards. Each pack has one Rare and one foil, so a box is 24 foil slots: by community estimates that's about six Ultra Rares and one or two Secret Rares, with a Starlight only every few boxes.
What are the odds a Booster Box (24 packs) of Darkwing Blast pays for itself?
About 10% after ~15% selling fees (14% before fees) as of 2026-10-27, computed from the exact outcome distribution of the Darkwing Blast pack model rather than a simulation. The median Booster Box (24 packs) returns $31.45 of cards after fees against its $73.35 price, and the chance of at least doubling your money is 1%. These odds refresh with every two-hourly price update.
