Clan Packs
Each Clan Pack contains 78 cards (3 copies each of 25 new cards and 1 copy each of 3 additional new cards) designed to augment deck building options for one specific clan.

Dynasty Packs
Each Dynasty Pack typically contains 60 cards and has a complete playset of new cards (i.e. 3 copies each of 20 new cards). Dynasty packs are generally part of a six-pack "cycle" that follows a particular storyline and theme. A new pack is usually released monthly during the cycle.
