At select retailers, you may see a new kind of booster available. While Collector Boosters are perfect for fans who want all the coolest cards, and Play Boosters are built to bolster collections by being opened to play Magic, Value Boosters are a smaller, lighter booster that contain a handful of new cards any fan can enjoy—a budget-friendly way to experience Bloomburrow. Each Value Booster contains 3 commons, 2 uncommons, 1 wildcard of any rarity, and 1 card that may be a land, a traditional foil, or a Special Guests card.

So pauper boosters? Doesn't look like they announced a price, but if it's more than $2 a pack, I just don't see it. It has 7 cards (1 often is a land it seems) and no guaranteed rare (or higher). If it's cheap enough, buying these for a low cost draft/sealed could be fun though.

What's kinda funny is that the 7 card packs don't even make it around the table once in a draft lol

You could try it with a smaller pod (4 maybe?) but yeah that's a bit odd. You'd definitely need more than 3 packs per person though, probably 7 to give everyone 49 cards to choose from.

That could actually be fun. Especially with the lower powered packs. The person who opens a rare would be like the one-eyed among the blind 😆
