Drop Calendar
Sealed Card Drop Calendar
When boxes drop, at what MSRP — and whether they're worth chasing.
When sealed boxes drop at retail, at what MSRP, and — the part the bots ignore — whether they're actually worth chasing. Information only: Wildcard never automates checkout. See also our full box ratings.
Radar status: nothing scheduled. Every drop date we had has already passed, and no new ones have been confirmed yet. Drop data last curated 5 days ago (2026-09-02). We publish a date only once we can point at the manufacturer or retailer announcement it came from, so a thin calendar here means the announcements are thin, not that we are hiding a list. Below is what dropped in the last 120 days and whether it was worth chasing at MSRP.

Questions
How do people get in on sealed card drops before they sell out?
The buyers who get in win on information and readiness — they know the exact drop time and have the retailer page open with an account ready, or they run back-in-stock monitors. The rest is checkout bots and multi-account tactics that violate retailer terms of service, get accounts banned, and are why product lands on the secondary market at a markup an hour later. Wildcard deliberately does none of that — no checkout automation — and instead gives you the timing and, more importantly, whether the box is even worth buying.
Why does the calendar sometimes show nothing upcoming?
Because retail drop dates are announced, not published in any feed we can query. We list a date only when we can point at the manufacturer or retailer announcement it came from, and we say on the page when a date failed that check. So an empty stretch means no confirmed announcements are in hand for the weeks ahead, not that drops have stopped. The page falls back to what dropped recently, and the calendar feed you subscribe to fills in automatically as dates are confirmed.
What does "worth it at MSRP" mean?
For each drop we compare the box's estimated expected value — the market value of the cards inside, from odds sheets and recent sold comps — against its retail price. Above ~95% of MSRP is a genuine rip; near break-even is a coin flip; below means you're better off buying the single you actually want. A box selling out at retail isn't automatically a win: plenty of hyped boxes are negative expected value the moment you open them.
