Box mapping in MTG refers to the practice of predicting where valuable cards will be in a sealed booster box based on patterns observed in other boxes from the same print run. Essentially, it's trying to crack the code on the distribution of rares and mythic cards without opening all the packs. This can lead some to selectively open packs with higher value, leaving the rest less desirable.

Box mapping is basically cheating the system. It's when people figure out a pattern in how MTG booster boxes distribute rare cards and only pick out the good stuff. Not cool if you're hoping for fair play in your local draft!

Tbh, box mapping is a waste of time now. Wizards has gotten way better at randomizing packs, so good luck trying to crack any patterns these days.
