CHOOSING YOUR BOOSTER CRATE SIZE: 11, 22, or 33 PACKS

WHY BOOSTER CRATE IS BUILT DIFFERENT!

One of the most common questions we get at Booster Crate is simple.

Which crate size should I choose?

The short answer is that there is no wrong choice. The longer answer depends on how you enjoy the hobby.

Our crate sizes, 11, 22, and 33 packs, are intentionally designed to serve different types of collectors and players while maintaining variety, balance, and value at every level.

What All Crate Sizes Have in Common


Before breaking down each size, it is important to understand what stays consistent across every Booster Crate, regardless of pack count.

- A curated mix of booster packs
- Variety across sets and releases
- A balance of newer and older product
- Occasional surprises and bonus items
- Built for both collectors and players

Larger crates do not unlock better packs.
They unlock more of the experience.

The Booster Crate XL

The Booster Crate XL includes 22 booster packs and expands on the standard Booster Crate experience through quantity.

With more packs to work with, we are able to either:

- Increase variety across sets, or 
- Increase exposure to certain sets when it benefits the overall build

The exact mix can change month to month based on availability, rotation, and what makes the most sense for collectors and players.

Best for
- Dedicated collectors
- Active players
- Subscribers who enjoy longer openings
- Anyone looking for a fuller monthly experience

What to expect
- 22 packs total
- A balanced build driven by quantity
- Occasional months with increased variety compared to smaller crates

The Mega Booster Crate

The Mega Booster Crate includes 33 booster packs and gives us the most flexibility when building variety.

Because of the higher pack count, this crate may:

- Include the widest range of sets in a given month
- Offer deeper exposure to multiple releases
- Deliver the most complete snapshot of the current rotation

This crate is where quantity allows for the most creative freedom in curation.

Best for
- High volume collectors
- Content creators
- Group openings or game nights
- Subscribers who want the biggest monthly experience

What to expect
- 33 packs total
- The highest potential for variety in a single shipment
- A long and immersive opening experience
