What Are Individual Card Rewards (ICRs)?

Individual Card Rewards (abbreviated to ICRs) are single cards you obtain as a reward from Events and as a Daily Win bonus. Cards obtained via ICRs are of the Uncommon rarity, with a chance to be upgraded to either Rare or Mythic Rare, depending on the method they are earned.

ICRs are randomly chosen from the following standard sets, to prevent players from getting cards from sets that are rotating.

Guilds of Ravnica	War of the Spark
Ravnica Allegiance	Core Set 2020

How do I Earn ICRs?

Daily Wins

See topic: Daily Wins

A total of 6 ICRs can be earned by winning games each day. They are rewarded on the 5th, 7th, 9th, 11th, 13th and the 15th daily win. They are upgraded to Rare or Mythic Rare at the below rates:

Rarity	Rate
Rare	1:10
Mythic Rare	1:80

To be more specific, once the ICR is upgraded to a Rare, it has a 1:8 chance for it to be upgraded to a Mythic Rare.

Events

Constructed events grant ICRs as a reward, with different rates of upgrade chances. The below tables show the rate of upgrade (from Uncommon ICR to Rare ICR) depending on the event you enter.

As with the daily win rewards, these upgrades have a 1:8 chance for it to be upgraded to a Mythic Rare.
