The census is cumulative and counts resubmissions, so it skews toward nicer copies and overstates the gem rate a first submission should expect. Treat it as the ceiling.

The odds of pulling one

Magneton is a uncommon card — a guaranteed slot in every pack rather than a rarity gamble, so there is no pull-odds figure for it.
