What is the Temporal Forces Pull Rate by Artwork?
The pull rate of a set is one of the most important metrics for any fan of the game. The pull rate is the ratio of packs that have rare art cards to those that don’t. In order to get a truly definitive answer to this question, thousands of packs should be opened and the results analysed.
In our previous analyses of Booster boxes we have noticed that sometimes pull rates vary by pack artwork. There are numerous sites that determine the pull rate of sets using thousands of packs so, this article will focus on determining the Temporal Forces Pull Rate by artwork.
The Temporal Forces Artwork
The Temporal Forces Set is the fifth main expansion set of the Scarlet and Violet Series and was released on 22nd March 2024. The Booster Packs feature four different artworks – Iron Crown, Iron Leaves, Raging Bolt and Walking Wake.
We purchased three Booster Boxes which gave a total of 108 Booster Packs:
27 x Iron Crown artwork
27 x Iron Leaves artwork
27 x Raging Bolt artwork
27 x Walking Wake artwork.
What is the Temporal Forces Pull Rate by Artwork?
The Temporal Forces Set contains 218 cards and includes 15 Double Rare ex Cards, 22 Illustration Rare Cards, 10 Special Illustration Rare Cards, 18 Ultra Rare Cards and 6 Hyper Rare Gold Cards. The set also includes 7 ACE SPEC cards.
