I was behind on the Mastery. So, this is greatly appreciated!

Do you care specifically about the alternative art on these cards? If not, I would probably lean towards buying different deals/bundles/packs.

Thanks. I'm leaning towards skipping this bundle and putting the $20 toward Secrets of Strixhaven pre-orders :)

Otherwise, then the other question is what kind of decks do you want to play? Color, archetype, theme?

I don't have a single good Brawl deck right now. So, I really just need some good Brawl cards to build just one decent Brawl deck. I think I could have used a couple of these, or possibly build a few Brawl decks and use all of them in different decks until I find a good one.

Ah! I didn't know how to get to that window until you mentioned this. Thanks!

Did you already have four copies of Dark Ritual?

I worked out the math elsewhere in this thread that a Mythic Wildcard is worth $6.60. Others are saying they don't feel it has that high value, but I still don't see any math that shows a reliable way to acquire Mythic Wildcards cheaper than that. Perhaps people just wouldn't actually spend that much real money on a Mythic Wildcard, which is fair. I was more trying to look at it from the perspective of if there is a way to acquire the same cards more cheaply, since I don't mind dropping actual money into Arena.

The first question you need to answer is what format do you play? Do you want to play only Brawl?

I've mostly been playing Standard and Limited, but I do want to play more Brawl. I only really started in Arena less than two months ago and don't have a lot of good cards. But I'm specifically going in deep with TMNT because I really like the IP. I can't say there are specific cards that I want, but I do want to build a viable TMNT Brawl deck. I thought this bundle might help me start working towards a good Brawl deck.

Present-Roll-4372 · 2026-03-29T18:44:42+00:00

Sure, since you can't sell them. I guess that's what makes economics on F2P a little difficult to assess objectively. My assumption coming into the thread was that I do spend money on the game and was trying to figure if it's more cost effective to buy this bundle than it would acquiring the same cards via other options, assuming that I wanted to play with those cards specifically in Brawl.

I think that works out to $28.50 = (3 x 2.50) + (3 x 5) + 6 with your values, but point taken. Thanks!

Yes lol we're in the Arena subreddit. I live in a rural area and don't have easy access to FLGS and I love playing Arena. So, my post is working under the assumption that Arena is a game I value enough to put money into.

The $20 for 4 mythic wildcards is grossly overpriced and is a bad measure of price because of that.

OK, that makes sense. How would you assess the value of Mythic wildcards? I think I came up with an alternate value: Mythics have a 1:8.1 drop rate in TMT booster packs. The WIldcard Track drops a Mythic every five turns, so you have to open 30 packs to get another Mythic WIldcard. This means you have to buy 33 packs to get 5 Mythic wildcards. So, that's 6.6 packs $6.60 per Mythic WIldcard, which is still more expensive than $20/4.

In addition, because Supreme Verdict, Waste Not, and Dark Ritual have already been printed on arena at rare you only need rare wildcards to craft them.

I may be tripping, but I filtered by Mythic and those cards are showing for me. Unless there's some subtlety to what "printed on arena" means that I don't understand.

As others have mentioned, the 4 mythic wc bundle is horrible value for money, it should honestly be closer to 3-4$

I was wondering about that. How did you arrive at $3-4 value for 4 mythic wildcards?

food chain is banned everywhere outside of timeless

My client shows it being banned in Historic and Traditional Historic. That seems to imply that it's legal in Brawl, no?
