Since they revealed most of the Mystical Archive bonus sheet, it's a good time for a reality check of how often all those chase mythics will show up.

7/8 packs will have an Uncommon SOA card In that 1/8th pack you have slightly less than 1/4 of a chance of a mythic and the rest are rare

Compare this to the original Strixhaven Draft Boosters:

Where Mythics were over twice as common and Rares almost 3 times as common

So the pull rates of the best cards have been heavily nerfed

Ohh so these are reprints from some select list?

Yes, all regular boosters contain 1 Instant or Sorcery card from the Mystical Archive, at the above pull rates. If you check the Spoilers community you can see the current revealed cards under [SOA] (whereas the main set is [SOS])
