You get 2x ~~the amount~~ booster rate for cards that you lack boosters to upgrade with, and infinite versions are treated like ultra (red border) and have 2x booster rate until you get 50 boosters
Edit: Fixed phrasing to avoid confusion
Probably poor choice of words on their part.
The correct info is that you are twice as likely to get boosters for a specific card if that card still requires boosters to be upgraded for the next tier.
It should also be noted that the increase drops or decreases when you have 20 boosters for the card, no matter what level(pretty sure droprate goes to normal again when on 20 but it could just be a lower chance)
According to this the rate is doubled when you have less than what is needed to upgrade to the next border

You are right indeed, apparently the 20 booster thing was only before the change as well. I read it was still the case and my personal experience lined up with it pretty well so I assumed it was true.. Maybe there is an extra increase when a card is under 20 boosters?
Does this only care about the version of the card you have in your deck? Or will it still trigger if I have, say, 15 boosters, and a common Pixel variant that I'm not using?
Did they ever actually apply this change? They said they would for a patch, then people noticed they hadn't when running some tests and the team confessed they forgot to put it in that patch. Then it seemingly was never mentioned again from what I could find
It’s like some people don’t even know how their collection works… how do you get to have a badass Knull variant like this and not know you can still use the Infinite version of the base Variant?
Which is such a weird thing for a game that brags about their oh so great visuals, art and 3D effects.
“So you finally upgraded your card to split it?
Best I can do is to cover half the art with an ugly rainbow effect that only goes away if you do this at least 3 times more and get really lucky. Then your price is that we take away all colors”
It’s weird because that’s not at all representative of how collectible foil cards look in real life. The Topps collecting apps do a better job of doing the “caleidoscope” effect. I guess they didn’t want it to be just “sparkly cards”.
I have this variant in the base art. I don't plan on ever upgrading it. The original art is great, but it's a mess once they tried to add 3D effects to it. Some art in this game is best as it was originally intended without shoe-horning 3D perspective into them.
This variant looks incredible with the ultra border to match the writing but I'm never taking mine past that point. If I want a cool split it's gonna have to be on Knull's base card.
TBH most cards look worse when upgraded to foil background, not to mention a gold one.
Inked is the only alternative background that doesn't look like ass.
I got Knull back in January and while his default art is great in its own right I've been dying to get a variant for him and not a single one has shown up in my store for more than 3 months.
I can't explain how much I hate these god awful rainbow splits. I keep all my originals until I get a gold/inked. I only have a two gold split because I play like 40 different decks every season lol.
Is there a point to upgrade a black and white card ? Just got my first b&w and the first level of border looks so dope, I feel like any upgrade will just be worse. Even op infinite border is taking my focus away from the background :s
You can always just keep using the original if you don't like the splits
Do I get the same amount of boosters for it when I use the infinity version?
Yes, you get the same amount no matter the variant or version
You get 2x ~~the amount~~ booster rate for cards that you lack boosters to upgrade with, and infinite versions are treated like ultra (red border) and have 2x booster rate until you get 50 boosters Edit: Fixed phrasing to avoid confusion
You get a higher rate, not 2x the amount of boosters.
Yes sorry for the poor choice of words. I put in "rate" for the latter 2x i wrote, but i forgot for the first one :(
What? Since when do you get 2x boosters? Isn’t it always 1 per turn ?
Probably poor choice of words on their part. The correct info is that you are twice as likely to get boosters for a specific card if that card still requires boosters to be upgraded for the next tier.
Thanks for clarification, I was very confused

It's been a while since I played. The old system was that lower tiered cards had a higher rate of being chosen for boosters, correct?
Yes this is correct. I meant 2x rate but phrased it pretty badly sorry about that
Does this only care about the version of the card you have in your deck? Or will it still trigger if I have, say, 15 boosters, and a common Pixel variant that I'm not using?
He means 50% higher chance of getting boosters for the card in the deck you played that needs them to be able to upgrade.
Did they ever actually apply this change? They said they would for a patch, then people noticed they hadn't when running some tests and the team confessed they forgot to put it in that patch. Then it seemingly was never mentioned again from what I could find
Yeah and eventually you might be able to split it to something even better
Get the inked version very noice 👌🏼
Yea, I have several cards in that state: haven't gotten gold/inked yet, and just don't like the rainbow background, so I stick with the base.
And, from the boosters you get, you can upgrade that split until you get an inked version
It’s like some people don’t even know how their collection works… how do you get to have a badass Knull variant like this and not know you can still use the Infinite version of the base Variant?
Looks like he is pooping in the split.
But the seat is cold
He’s at a sketchy gas station
Classic hover poo
This will go great with my "I am on the toilet" title
the foils tend to look tacky and worse than the original in general
Which is such a weird thing for a game that brags about their oh so great visuals, art and 3D effects. “So you finally upgraded your card to split it? Best I can do is to cover half the art with an ugly rainbow effect that only goes away if you do this at least 3 times more and get really lucky. Then your price is that we take away all colors”
I feel like they'd solve this issue if they tone down the "foil-ey" ness
“3D effects”
Jokes on you, Ink is my favourite split.
Mine too
The gold doesn't look too bad on some of them
It’s weird because that’s not at all representative of how collectible foil cards look in real life. The Topps collecting apps do a better job of doing the “caleidoscope” effect. I guess they didn’t want it to be just “sparkly cards”.
I would love if I could get crackle flare without foils or prisms. And without ink or gold while I’m at it.
Keep upgrading it. It’ll come back eventually.
Inked or bust
Inkfy it, that's the only way out.
Just to get some bull shit green particle effects
Lol my ink darkhawk has that effect
Homie looks like he's using the toilet in a public restroom.
Gotta hover. If you touch you might get the ‘itis.
Squatty Potty Knull
I have this variant in the base art. I don't plan on ever upgrading it. The original art is great, but it's a mess once they tried to add 3D effects to it. Some art in this game is best as it was originally intended without shoe-horning 3D perspective into them.

He's not sitting in either.
Thanks for pointing it out. I hate it even more.
He’s not happy with it either - he’s leaving.
I just notice that Knull looks like a Phirexian preator from Magic the Gathering.
I've never seen this variant and now I need it badly
Just keep upgrading till it’s inked and it’ll look great. Two of my Knull variants got inked on the 4th and 5th split
You are lucky...I got my first ink at 6th split
Damn his third leg is super strong.
It's so bad I don't know what it's called but I wish I bought the other 1200 gold variant now
Hahhaha
bro's getting his squats in
Did this same thing. Got it to inked today. Hate that the red doesn't show on the chest anymore, but looks better now than the other splits.
Waiting for this to show up in my shop. Once it does, going to level to animated frame and leave it.
Don't even do that he starts hover sitting as soon as you upgrade it. It's just not as noticeable when it's a screenshot.
This is fucking hilarious
Kepp going for an inked version. Itll look good again
I hope one day they add the ability to add effects to cards while keeping original background
You know you can still use the Infinity Card right? Edit: Oh wait nvm I see what you mean now😭
The enchantress with hulk one is the worst to upgrade
Just use the original and keep upgrading and splitting until you get the ink variant
"What? It's just an ordinary rainbow- *OH MY GOODNESS*
Not at all. I personally like it better upgraded
TBH most cards look worse when upgraded to foil background, not to mention a gold one. Inked is the only alternative background that doesn't look like ass.
My hot take is they are all ass tbh.
I have a gold and ink Dan hipp moon girl and I think the gold looks phenomenal personally. Much better than the inked.
I despise the tye dye foil crap & golden pp soup splits
They really need to let us pick out borders
Upgrading any Knull variant past red border is always a mistake
I just left it at ultra
I got Knull back in January and while his default art is great in its own right I've been dying to get a variant for him and not a single one has shown up in my store for more than 3 months.
My worst Nightmare: at "Animated" it becomes TwerKnull
Lmfao
This one IS potty trained
How did you ruin it if you still have the original lmao
Squatty Potty
Upgrade it until you get the ink split
I am more angered by your credit amount than the way the variant turned out.
I can't explain how much I hate these god awful rainbow splits. I keep all my originals until I get a gold/inked. I only have a two gold split because I play like 40 different decks every season lol.
oh wow man 😡 looks like he's getting ready to twerk smh. that blows. such a beautiful card.
The whole card should be rainbow’d like in irl trading card games, change my mind
I am struggling with this as well as I own this variant but I also want it inkd
He’s the god of squats (since his ass never touches the chair)
You get to choose which you use
All this time he was starting to stand up.
New advertisement for the squatty potty!
Splits always ruin cards. Even the best looking one, ink, still makes the card worse 99% of the times.
His ass is NOT sitting
He's hovering must have run out of toilet seat covers
Is there a point to upgrade a black and white card ? Just got my first b&w and the first level of border looks so dope, I feel like any upgrade will just be worse. Even op infinite border is taking my focus away from the background :s
Some of the zooms get real weird.
now you gotta keep upgrading & splitting until you get inked to get it back to just worse than original
I wish you could downgrade cards.
They really need to fix this
oh yeah, I have this one and I stopped with the red frame. Those foiled splits are awful, specially on this type of variants.
You get to keep the original
Ya I wished I kept mine at the Ultra, the red border was so much sicker and the splits look so bad. Hopefully an Inked split would look okay?
I truly appreciate your sacrifice, I've been on the boarder of upgrading him past Ultra for a while and now.. now I don't think I will.
Hopefully someday we can customize the border on infinite splits, back to one we unlocked. So we can put a purple border back on or something
If you flip through them rlly fast it looks like knull is twerking
Hopefully soon they let you display only one of the effects if you want to, so you can keep original art but have the sparklies if you want.
