Hour of Devastation Collation

Hour of Devastation is a small set with 70 commons, 60 uncommons, 42 rares, 12 mythic rares, three variations of each standard basic land, and 24 masterpieces. Not counting the masterpieces, this is the normal size for a small set of this era. Foil cards are included in booster packs with advertised odds of 1 : 67 cards. Masterpieces have advestised odds of 1 : 1935 cards. The set was printed in English in the USA and Belgium.

Hour of Devastation was sold in 15 card booster packs (which contain an additional ad card). Booster boxes have 36 packs.

US Pack Anatomy

The US printing uses sequential collation.

Packs are back-facing and have only 10 commons followed by 3 uncommons, a rare, a basic land or checklist, and an ad card. If there is a foil, it will displace a common and appear after the rare. (This includes masterpieces.)

There are four common runs: A, B, C1, and C2. Half of packs have A, B, and C1 and half have A, B, and C2. Run A has 22 distinct cards each printed three times, and B has 18 cards each printed three times. These are probably on the same sheet. C1 has 16 cards each four times and two copies of Traveler's Amulet, and C2 has 13 cards each four times with the other two copies of Traveler's Amulet. These are probably also printed together on a sheet.

C1 packs have 3 A cards followed by 2-3 B cards and 4-5 C cards. C2 packs have 3-4 A cards followed by 2-3 B cards and 4 C cards.

When a foil appears in a pack, it will displace a common card. Common foils displace C2 commons. Uncommon foils displace B commons. Rare foils displace C1 commons. I'm not sure yet about masterpieces.

The uncommons are split into an A and B run each with 30 distinct cards appearing four times each. Packs have either two A uncommons followed by a B or one A uncommon followed by two B uncommons.

All the lands are apparently printed on one sheet with each land variation appearing 8 times except for (probably) Plains (191) which appears 9 times.

Common Runs

The A common run consists of 22 different cards each appearing three times. The cards alternate between white, red, and blue (with two exceptions for white cards appearing in the place of other colors). The choice of first card is mostly arbitrary.

The B common run consists of 18 different cards each appearing three times. There are cards are alternating black and green. The choice of first card is mostly arbitrary.

The C1 common run consists of 16 different cards each appearing four times plus two copies of Traveler's Amulet. It includes cards of all colors and colorless cards. The choice of first card is mostly arbitrary.

The C2 common run consists of 13 different cards each appearing four times plus two copies of Traveler's Amulet. It includes cards of all colors and colorless cards. The choice of first card is mostly arbitrary.

Uncommon Runs

The A uncommon run consists of 30 different cards each appearing four times. The choice of first card is mostly arbitrary.

The B uncommon run also consists of 30 different cards each appearing four times. The choice of first card is mostly arbitrary.

Token Run

All of the marketing cards in Hour of Devastation have a token on the front face. Some of the tokens are duplicates of Amonkhet tokens including that expansion symbol, but not all Amonkhet tokens appear here. They are printed on an 11 × 11 sheet with different items appearing different numbers of times. The choice of first card is mostly arbitrary.

There are also punch cards that appear in 1 out of every 4 packs. These are printed on a different sheet.

Foil Common Sheet

There was a picture of the foil common sheet available. [1] Each common card and basic land variation appear once except for the full-art lands which appear two times each. The extra copies of Dutiful Servants are presumed to be fillers.

Foil Uncommon Sheet

There is a picture of the foil uncommon sheet available. [2] Each uncommon card appears twice. The extra copy of Gideon's Defeat is presumed to be a filler.

Foil Rare Sheet

There was a picture of the foil rare sheet available. [1] Each rare card appears twice, and each mythic rare card appears once. The extra copies of Ramunap Excavator are presumed to be fillers.
