I'm working on creating a tool to provide machine-readable data concerning the contents of packs in Yugioh, and I noticed nobody on the internet had pack odds for the first McDonalds promotional pack (aka MP1). So I took matters into my own hands and turned to YouTube pack opening videos, where I watched and recorded pulls.

These packs are rarely opened, as they are a bit rare, but I found a sample size of 269 packs. Not great, but could be worse. MP1 packs are two cards, the first always being a common. The second card was a common in 194 packs, a super rare in 46, an ultra rare in 28, and one pack, curiously enough, only contained 1 card.

Of all the videos I found, I excluded only one, on the basis that it pulled all of the supers in order and then all of the ultras in order, making me suspicious; not going to name names, but I think someone's been rigging their pack opening videos.

Anyways, this gives me roughly odds for the second card of:

1:10 UR
1:6 SR
Else common

which is now reflected in YJViewer, as per the screenshot above. Hope putting this out here publicly helps someone in the future like it helped me!



Making more models in Blockbench, this time for the set of monsters that released between Vol. 4 and Booster 4! We got here a card that game in a strategy guide, a set of tournament attendance, participation, and prize cards, and the Premium Pack, sold at the convention said tournament was at. Can you guess which is which? (I've ordered them helpfully.)

Anyways, some REALLY iconic cards here, and I mean, since they're tournament prizes, of course they are. But also a few McDonald's pack fillers here too! Funny that... Anyways, got any favorites?
