Sadly not guarenteed a Jodah and a Jaya. That would be like the old days.

On a related note, has anyone seen details anywhere of how the legendary creature slot in booster packs will work? Does it take the place of an uncommon slot? Do legendary creatures appear in the other slots at a normal rate? It seems weird to me that this has been acknowledged, but not really explained.

From what I can gather from MaRo's blog, basically, the system checks to see if there will be a Legendary card in the pack. If there won't be, it replaces an uncommon or a rare with a Legendary.

They’re doing some smart collation. About 70% of packs will have an uncommon legendary, and the pack assembler is ‘smart enough’ to know to make the rare/mythic in the other 30% of packs a legendary.

Seems they've upped their pack distribution game.
