New 1 card booster

The 1 card booster we get from daily quests has such low droprates, even worse than the 3 card free booster. It feels more like an insult to me to "win" these.

    Yeah between that and the tiny amount of rewards for daily and weekly it's kinda not worth it

    Please remove it entirely or replace it with something more useful @Magic:PQ Support Team . I really would NOT have this 1 card booster "use up" my 0,08% drop rate hit for what would have been an MP in a regular booster.

    The 1-card packs have the exact same drop rates as the 3-card packs, it's just that in the 3-card packs you have three chances of getting that card type. The description even says that the percentages are for at least one card of the rarity in the entire purchase (pack), not for any individual card.

    By the math:
    Chances of getting a common from the one-card pack (ie, the chances of any given card in that pack type being a common): 82.79%
    -> Chances of the card not being a common: 1-0.8279 = 17.21%
    -> Chances of not getting a common card in three independent chances: (1-0.8279)^3 = 0.5097%
    -> Chances of getting at least one common card in three cards: 1-(1-0.8279)^3 = 99.49%

    With the exception of the bonus guaranteed rare in Premium Packs, the increased odds of a rarity in a given pack type within a set aren't due to better drop rates, just more individual chances (cards) of finding one. Different sets may have individually different rates (the free boosters are obviously lower than specific sets), but within the set it's uniform.

    As for the offered rewards, the most egregious to me is the bottom row, casting (not summoning) 15 of a type only earning 1 pink. At that rate, even if you did that very tedious task every day, it would still take over a year to get a single non-dupe Mythic+. I'm not sure why this game is so stingy on the pinks, since even the bundles haven't offered significant volumes and are only one-time purchases anyway. Case in point, the total pinks available in the Shop from bundles right now is 450, and that's if I purchase five bundles worth $110USD, and it's still barely enough for one semi-random pull of a Mythic+.
