Describe the bug
Started a Foundations draft. On Round 2 Pick 3 I was passed a pack containing 5 uncommons: Swiftfoot Boots, Grappling Kraken, Seismic Rupture (foil), Affectionate Indrik, and Wildwood Scourge.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Start a booster draft with Card Set / Block Magic Foundations
  2. Keep an eye out for booster pack containing more than 4 uncommons.

Expected behavior
According to https://mtg.fandom.com/wiki/Booster_pack:

Of the fifteen Magic cards, one is a basic land, ten are common, three are uncommon, and one is rare or mythic rare. There is also a chance for one of the common cards to be replaced by a premium foil card of any rarity.

This pack only contained 1 foil uncommon so at most it should have had 4 uncommons, not 5.

Another example in Round 3 Pick 1. This booster pack has 5 uncommons (1 is foil) and no basic land. Only 14 cards when a pack should be 15?

Round 3 Pick 2. Pack has 1 Mythic (foil), and 2 rares!

These boosters are working as intended.
Your expected behaviour is taken from draft boosters. Foundations use play boosters which work differently.

Souce (check the slot breakdown):
https://mtgscribe.com/2024/10/28/play-booster-fact-sheet-foundations/

Picture 1

  • 7 common (slots 1-6 & 7)
  • 5 uncommon (slots 8-10, 12 & 13 foil)
  • 1 land (slot 14) 50% to be a gain land, doesn't have to be a basic
  • TAKEN: 1 Rare/Mythic (slot 11)

Picture 2

  • As picture 1
  • The booster is 14 cards in Forge because you don't see slot 15 which is always a token or art card

Picture 3

  • 1 mythic (slot 13 foil)
  • 2 rare (slots 11 & 12)

Thanks for the clarification. My apologies for my misunderstanding of the different booster pack types. I'm returning to MTG after a long time away from the game.
