Cycles
Each Dynasty Pack contains 60 cards and has a complete playset of new cards (typically 3 copies each of 20 cards), and is part of a six-pack "cycle". A new pack is usually released monthly during the cycle, however the initial Imperial cycle released each new pack weekly as an attempt to increase the card pool quickly and improve the variety in deck building. Between cycles the wait is typically 3 to 4 months.
