Let's be real, there's no good, satisfying way to buy cards. So I've decided to leave it up to fate. I didn't want to break the bank buying cards and building a collection. So I decided to buy quest potions instead. So far I've used 3. And I think it's been very worth it.
Since I started playing about 14 days ago I've completed the quest daily. I've gotten in total just one card. This fella.
This one's (He's/She's? I dnno I don't want to put a label on it) great. I love watching monsters get one shot. But very situational. So much so that sometimes games are cost.
So that's 1 card in 10 chests. 73 cents at the time of writing this.
I wanted to buy something. I was hunger and I new only some chicken would sate me but it's far too expensive to be eating lately apparently.
So I decided to some digging for the most cost effective card to buy. It has to be useful, decent mana, decent power and, best case scenario, appreciate in value. Boy did I dig. Like a sand worm would.
This was all too much for me, of course, so I chose the easy way. I decided to drop $6 into credits and buy quest potions instead. It's been 3 days and this is what I have to show for it.
7 cards totalling $2.13 at this current time. That's by completing 3 quests with the bonus of 3 quest potions totalling $2.25. Not to mention a wee bit of DEC. Quite a decent haul.
Now there's an argument to be made that some of these could be from the single chest from the 3 quests but I'd like to think not. Or so I hope.
This isn't even to factor in card value growth (fingers crossed). And hoping that I get luckier with the next 3 potions. I think it's absolutely worth it. Especially since I didn't have to focus on what to buy. That makes it priceless.
Tl;dr. If you don't want to think about what cards to buy, quest potions are a fun roulette version that I think will still provide a bang for your buck.
