As a reminder, cards from The Big Score were originally slated for an MotM Aftermath style set but were folded into the main set. They appear on The List and are Standard legal

    This… this might be the best limited card for the set

      It’s also a mythic on a bonus sheet.

      So you’ll probably never draft it, and luckily nor will 99% of your opponents.

      Doesn’t usually do worse than 6 life, draw two cards on a 6/5 body for 6. (Edit, costs 7 so officially worse than Dreadmaw😮‍💨) The value is huge.

        I mean, you aren’t wrong. Normally I would give that honor to an uncommon or a rare, but I still am having trouble trying to figure out how often this will show up with the new pack collation. Also, why is this even on the bonus sheet? What other format is this even good in?

          The BIG sheet was originally going to be an Aftermath style epilogue booster product… But since Aftermath was so reviled by the community and sold so poorly (charging full price for 5 card boosters wasn’t popular, who’d’ve gussed?) they made it a second bonus sheet for the main set instead.

          According to WotC you’re 20% per playbooster for for a list card, which then needs to roll this mythic. (Edit: making the assumption that List rares and mythics appear at the same rate as the Crime bonus sheet R/Ms, then you’ll see a random BIG R/M at less than once every 15 packs (because they share the slot with SPGs).)
