Okay, in basis this is how the card system is going to work. The cards
are each numbered from 1 up in packs independently. The chances of a
certain rarity appearing are as follows.

1 Rare+:
Of these the chances are the following:
Rare 50%
Super Rare 30%
Ultra Rare 15%
Secret Rare 5%
(Ultimate Rares are treated as Ultra Rares)

The pack will roll a 1-100 random number. That number corresponds to a certain group of cards. From then, it rerolls a 1-XX (total number of that rarity in pack) random number which decides the particular card that you get.

8 Commons:
These are chosen randomly from the common cards in the pack.
The Formula being used is the following:

Let X = total common cards in pack;
Let Y = total cards to be chosen
card chosen = ((X! / Y!) * (rnd# (1 to X/Y)) - 10 / 2) * rnd# (1 to Y)
((STILL NEED TO SEE IF THIS FORMULA WORKS HOW I WANT IT))

All 51 standard packs are going to be in the game, along with 4 special packs.

1 will contain the custom made cards (which will cost about 10-15 times more than IOC (the currently most expensive pack))

Another will hold only Ultra and Secret Rare from other packs (this is the 2nd most expensive pack, costing 35 times more than IOC)

The Third will contain 3 special tourney cards and will be awarded when you win a Tier 8+ tournament. These cards will be custom and incredibly poweful.

The Fourth and most powerful of the the special packs isn't going to be for public sale, but will be allowed only for Moderators and Administrators to buy. This pack will contain special cards which'll make the game more challenging for both players. I'll post some of the cards when I draw them up.

I still say you must make it more realistic. For those that open the card shop early should be able to scale the packs and buy the ones with rares, leaving the less valuable packs for everyone else. Just like in real life. 8D

hmm the custom made cards will be more expensive to get. well then i will have to try harder to get my cards! and thank you again for accepting my cards in to ur game. it will be kinda weird but cool to have my very own cards in there!

As it is right now (as the shop system is one of the few things that's working), the packs restock once every 60 hours (2.5 days) with 3 boxes of packs. Hence, a player could, technically buy all 3 boxes (which are 24 packs, and cost = price of 1 pack * 20). That also means, there's always a chance that a particular store won't have the pack you're looking for, making you have to search for stores which do.

I might have 1 store that doesn't run out, at an undisclosed location, but it'll be about 3-4x more costly than any other store.

The Starter Decks will be infinite. The Shops will receive 10 of each of the Structure Decks every re-stock (60 hours).
