Disclaimer: This page was not created by The Collation Project. This is my attempt at following their style. blangenfeld independantly analysed this set and shared his data. The uncommon runs were mostly derived from his work.
Alara Reborn is a small set with 60 commons, 40 uncommons, 35 rares, and 10 mythic rares. This is the normal size for a small set of this era. Foil cards are included in booster packs. I cannot find the advertised rate but expect it would be 1 in 56 like Shards of Alara. (It might also be 1 in 67 as was the case from Zendikar through to War of the Spark.) The set was printed in English in the USA.
There are three rules tip cards, four tokens (and five tokens from Shards of Alara) that may be included. The twenty basic lands from Shards of Alara also appear in boosters.
Boosters contain 15 Magic cards and one additional card which can be a rules tip or a token. Booster boxes have 36 packs. Fat packs contain eight packs.

The US printing uses sequential collation, with 11 × 11 sheets.
Packs have 10 commons, followed by 3 uncommons, the token or rules tip card, a basic land (from Shards of Alara), and a rare (or mythic). If there is a foil card, it will appear at the end, displacing a common.
| 10 Commons | 3 Uncommons | 1 Tip or Token | 1 Basic | 1 Rare | ||
| 9 Commons | 3 Uncommons | 1 Tip or Token | 1 Basic | 1 Rare | 1 Foil | |
The commons are printed on one sheet with each card appearing twice (and one filler). This is divided into a 66-card A run (with 33 distinct cards) and a 54-card B run (with 27 distinct cards). Discounting foils, packs contain 5-6 A cards followed by 4-5 B cards.
| A | A | A | A | A | A | B | B | B | B |
| A | A | A | A | A | B | B | B | B | B |
When a foil appears in a pack, it will displace a common card. It is likely that common foils usually displace an A common and rare foils displace a B common (as stated in Worldwake).
Uncommons could be printed on one sheet with each card appearing three times (and one filler), divided into a 66-card A run (with 22 distinct cards) and a 54-card B run (with 18 distinct cards). Packs can have either 2 A cards followed by 1 B card, or 1 A card followed by 2 B cards. Since the runs are unbalanced, 2 A cards should mathematically happen 13/20 of the time.
| A | A | B |
| A | B | B |
The rares would fit on two sheets, with six copies of each rare and three copies of each mythic, and are thus likely divided into two runs (or each of those sheets could be split into two runs, making four runs total). The lands should fit on one sheet, with six copies of each variation. Again that sheet could be split into two runs.
The A common run consists of 33 distinct cards, each printed twice. The first card was chosen arbitrarily.
The B common run consists of 27 different cards each appearing twice. The first card was chosen based on assertion from blangenfeld.
The A uncommon run has 22 different cards each appearing three times. There is still some uncertainty with this run, indicated by faded cards. The first card was chosen arbitrarily.
The B uncommon run has 18 different cards each appearing three times. The first card was chosen arbitrarily.
I do not have the run for the token sheet, but assuming tokens are printed on a 121 card sheet, based on the observed appearance of tokens, I would expect the frequency to be something like...
| Estimated Token Rarity | ||
|---|---|---|
Theme: The Gold Standard × 7 |

Rules Tip: Hybrid Mana × 11 |
Rules Tip: Cascade × 17 |
