Card Pack System and Ghost Cards

When you open a pack, the game generates 7 random cards. The process works as follows:

1. A random number between 0 and 10,000 is generated.
2. The game checks if this number is below the probability threshold for each rarity, starting from Full Art down to First Edition.
3. It first checks if the card will be Foil (1/20 chance). If this check passes, rarity checks are skipped. If all rarity checks fail, the card defaults to a Base Card.

Ghost Packs and Ghost Cards

• Ghost Packs: Each pack has a small chance of being a Ghost Pack:
  • Tetramon Packs: 1/1000 (0.1%) chance.
  • Destiny Packs: 1/500 (0.2%) chance.
• If a Ghost Pack is generated, the last card is guaranteed to be a Ghost Card. There’s a 50/50 chance for the card to have either a white or black background, and a 1/20 chance for it to be foil.
