Methodology

We score packs by (1) how many cards match the target element and (2) the craft points sum of those matching cards, with a small overall value weight. Packs with low element coverage are down-ranked.

* Rankings are snapshot-based (non-real-time) and intended for decision support. Scores are comparative across packs for the same goal.
