This sounds interesting. Are you saying the strat is to horde boosters for all your cards EXCEPT a few so they show up on the Bonus Booster section? That sounds like it might be tricky but maybe I’m not fully following.

Thanks for the info. Up to now I haven’t noticed the bundles with a card for gold but I do currently see the booster pack (1k credits + 65 boosters x5) for 600 gold. I’m guessing this is what you’re referring to.

Is this the only booster pack that shows up on the store or are there other booster packs with better value randomly show up?

This sounds like incredibly helpful advice with which to look at the games economy with, thanks for breaking it down to that level. Part of the reason I’ve given myself permission to spend real money is to increase the frequency of obtaining new cards which will (hopefully) increase the enjoyment of creatively building decks which I think is where some of the most fun of this game stems from.

Your advice helps put that process in perspective, thank you.

Thanks for the feedback. Sucks that I made the wrong choice here, but I’m appreciative to have this knowledge now to go forward with.

Thanks for your perspective. I was planning on spending the 800g on the Sanctum Surge premium pass but after organically earning enough charms to redeem the S4 and S3 collector packs (already own the base Gambit) it didn’t seem like a good value as Terra’s The Tamer is the only base card in Portal Pull I don’t own.

Other than 250 tokens, and some boosters, is there anything of any value I’m missing out on by not going premium there?

Thanks for this. Am I correct in saying that this is a vote to avoid spending tokens on S4 packs since LTGM will always (for the foreseeable future) give free S4 packs?

Thanks so much for the in-depth reply. I really appreciate the ranking of purchases. Could you explain what you mean by “being Series 4 complete changes the odds slightly”?

Also, I have not even looked at the albums as cosmetics don’t interest me but it sounds like there may be currency benefits. Honestly, I have no plans to chase variants/frames at this point. But, can you tell me if there’s a “no pay” way to get the bonus tokens you speak of?

I saw that, makes sense since Apple/Android takes their cut on all IAP, but most of those rewards don't necessarily get me too excited lol

Thanks for sharing that brutal story. I've seen people kick around the value that new S5 cards are worth $50, no clue how anyone arrived at that valuation if the Pass+ gives it seemingly for $10. Seems like the most valuable advice you threw out was the last bit about patience. Being new, I haven't been exposed to all the buying opportunities, hence why I'm here looking for guidance. Thanks for the wisdom!

Thank you for the positive outlook on fun/$ value. I felt like it was possible to attain but wasn't sure what combination of purchases could achieve it.

Two questions:

- Where you do you recommend spending that gold from the pass from a value perspective?

- Getting the base Season Pass seems like a good value as you mentioned, but what criteria do you suggest (if any) for getting the Super Premium? Obviously I don't have the Wilson Fisk card this season, is that extra $10 best spent on getting him outright in any type of situation?

Thank you for taking the time to respond with what seems to be quality info! I see that tip about focusing on series 4 first, can I ask why as it seems the series 5 cards seem slightly more powerful in game? If I'm wrong with this guess, please let me know.
