But You Told Us Not To Buy Packs!
Despite all my better judgment and everything I’ve been saying in my blog, I did it. I couldn’t help myself! I wanted to give you guys the best advice I could, but I am a gambler at heart. I bought a few Chaos Legion packs. But only 6! I thought I would treat myself a little (and sate my primal TCG player need to open packs!) and then save the rest for buying singles. I could not have asked for better results!
First off, these are the first packs I have ever opened in Splinterlands. Maybe they were trying to reel me in, so I’ll have to control myself now! Why do I keep gushing about my pulls? Well let me show you:
Packs 1 & 2
So when I say I only bought 6 packs, I actually only set out to buy 2. I did this right after release, and if they weren’t good, I was done! So in my first ever Splinterlands packs, what did I get!
A Gold Foil and a Legendary! What incredible luck! Sadly, not any cards I was particularly after. BUT, I could sell the Legionnaire and the Sethropod to buy two more..
Packs 3 & 4
A Legendary again! And another Gold Foil! I hadn’t had a dud pack yet - which is so crazy! Having watched a lot of pack openings I knew this was uncommon. This time I was able to sell the Hellondare for $11.50, meaning I had profited! Part of me wanted to quit while I was ahead, but a little voice was telling me that even if I opened 2 more packs and got nothing I’d still be up. Terrible logic I know, but I gave in, and boy am I glad I did!
Packs 5 & 6
Oh. My. Days. 2 more Gold Foils, 1 more Legendary! And not only that, the Legendary was one of those Gold Foils! Thank you little voice in my head, this was so incredibly worth it! I was able to sell my Ifrit for $120 - Over doubling my budget for Chaos Legion! This is incredible! As a low budget player this is such a huge help towards getting the deck I want to own! The Goblin Psychic also sold for $3.50
So, What’re The Actual Numbers?
My packs cost me $24 to buy, and I already had the potions from my Daily Quest rewards. From my $24, I sold the Legionnaire for $7, Hellondare for $11.50, Golden Ifrit for $120, and the other assorted Gold Foils for about $5. That’s $143.50, take the $24 leaving me $119.50 in profit! I had absolutely incredible pack luck, and I’m so happy. I also gained a minimal, but real, airdrop chance. The chances of me getting a card are extremely low, but my luck is sky high at the moment! I’m really hoping for the newly revealed card, Grum (who I may write a blog post covering if anyone is interested!).
How did you guys do? Any crazy pulls or disappointing pack runs? I want to hear your guys experience with Chaos Legion so far!
