Breaks 101

Welcome to the Hobby

Breaking is just opening cards live, together. You buy a slot, we rip on camera, your cards ship to you. No mystery. No gatekeeping. Here's how it works.

What is Card Breaking?

We sell one or more boxes of cards in each break by auctioning off individual spots, each representing a team, a player, or another format. Once every spot fills, we open the boxes live on stream, and each buyer keeps whatever their spot pulls. It's a more exciting way to collect: you get a piece of the action without buying a whole box.

Break Formats

Random Team

Win an auction slot, get a team assigned at random on stream. All cards of that team in the break are yours.

Random Player/Character

Win an auction slot, get a player assigned at random on stream. All cards of that player in the break are yours.
