Rumored Ways To Guarantee Rare Cards

Do Bent Packs Contain Rare Cards?

Bent Edge	Straight Edge

On X and YouTube, there's a rumor that opening a Booster Pack with a bent or crimpled edge guarantees or significantly increases the chance of finding a rare card. However, after opening several Booster Packs ourselves, we found no guarantee of rare cards, nor did we feel the odds were particularly high.

With that said, many people are saying they got rare cards from Booster Packs with bent edges and this can be kind of a fun way of opening booster packs, so why not give it a try?
