How Card Rarities Work

Uncommon cards are like your favorite toy from the store, not as rare as the birthday gift, but still pretty cool.

Rare cards are like that one amazing toy you get once a year, powerful and special, and only a few people have them.

Mythic Rare cards are like getting a super-duper awesome toy that everyone wants, they're the most special of all and only come out very rarely.
