Okay, serious answer, depends on the pack, I think.

this is from my experience.

Apostles - 3-4 packs
Patriarchs - 3-4 packs
Kings - 2-3 Packs
Warriors - It's too long ago.  :'( :'( :'(
Angel Wars - 5 packs
Priests - 4-5 Packs

that's about the odds I've encountered so far.

I want your boxes of boosters.

The odds for the major releases are [number of URs / 90].
- For Warriors, Patriarchs, and Kings, it's 10 in 90, or about 11% [1 in 9] chance.
- For Apostles, with 16 URs, it's 16 in 90, or about 18% [about 1 in 6] chance.
- For Priests, I think it's 11 in 90, or about 12% [about 1 in 8] chance.

I don't know enough about how Angel Wars was printed to figure its odds.

[edit] Eh, Bryon already did all the math (http://redemptionca.com/Lists/supply.htm)... figures that a math teacher would beat me to it...

Priest has no odds as they were shuffled silly before being put into packs each box can range from having 0 Ultras yes 0 Ultras to I think the most ive seen is around 12.
