Right now: the best rip in Power of the Elements is the Booster Box [1st Ed] (24 packs) at $51.60 against $65.12 of expected pulls — a +7% margin after ~15% selling fees, and a 31% chance it actually pays for itself. Figures refresh every two hours.
Power of the Elements is a standard Yu-Gi-Oh! core booster from August 5, 2022: nine cards per pack, one foil hit, 24 packs per box, five Starlight Rares sitting above ten Secret Rares. Sealed listings here are the 1st Edition run. Its sealed market looks like most core sets a few years out, with value concentrated in one or two Starlights and the rest of the foil pool cheap.
Every pack has a Rare slot and a foil slot paying Super Rare about 65% of the time, Ultra Rare roughly 1 in 4, Secret Rare near 1 in 14 and a Starlight or Quarter Century Secret around 1 in 100. Destiny HERO - Destroyer Phoenix Enforcer is the Starlight that defines the set, with Exosister Martha a clear second; Tearlaments Reinoheart is the most valuable Ultra Rare.
Buy loose 1st Edition packs or the 24-pack 1st Edition booster box. As with every core set, the box is the unit that gives the roughly 1-in-100 Starlight slot a real chance; a loose pack is a Super Rare most of the time.
