I wonder how does wizards of the coast adds this card into a packs in a double blind sort of way. Otherwise there would be internal collusion/fraud to self deal.

This is why we require lottery winners to be public record.

Huge sorting machines drop cards into packs at amazing speed. All you'd have to do is ceremonially place this card into the "rare" pile and watch the machine whirr. No one would be able to tell which of the hundreds of sealed and plastic-wrapped boxes coming out the other side of the machine contains the card.

Buying up mere hundreds of packs for a high chance at a $2m+ shiny sounds like a pretty good deal to me.

I guess you'd have a trusted employee come out and insert a magic card into the sorter intermittently for as long as it takes, so nobody knows which batch it's actually in.
