7,000-Pack Ascended Heroes Study Reveals SIR Pull Rates

7,000-Pack Ascended Heroes Study Reveals SIR Pull Rates
A community-driven study of over 7,000 Ascended Heroes packs has provided the most comprehensive pull rate data for the set so far. The data, collected manually by a group of collectors across blisters, ETBs, tins, and collection boxes, found that Special Illustration Rares appear at roughly 1 in 101 packs, or 1 in 2,222 for a specific SIR.
The study also found that no individual SIR is harder or easier to pull than another, with pull rates surprisingly even across all 22 variations. Gold cards appeared at roughly 1 in 783, though the sample size was noted as too small to draw reliable conclusions. The researchers estimate you would need to open over 1,500 packs for a good chance at pulling a specific SIR you're after.
