No, they will only be used for bonus packs. E.g. if you buy 100 packs with no vouchers, you get 100 packs. If you buy 100 packs and have 10 vouchers, you get the 10% bonus packs and get 110 packs. If you

This is a good question! I just watched his video, and think it deserves more than a quick answer (although the quick answer is: if you're buying <1,000 packs using this strategy, no, it's a bad idea).

What is the value of this over renting cards myself?

One of my favorite things about SL is how short the games are. So a loss doesn't feel like a lot of wasted time (unlike e.g. MtG, where a loss means 15 minutes of time with no reward).

Thanks for the detail! That's what I thought, but wasn't sure. It'd be cool to see that number for the cards you show, to get an idea of what win rates they're getting. And very true on Sloan! I was trying

I'd put 0 stock in the Quix results, as anyone playing him likely have beaucoup bucks, whereas all the others are free at level 1. So any winrate difference is probably because of the size of the back

My big worry with this is that Water won't be the magic meta anymore, so Djinn will be much less useful. Especially once Modern and Wild switch, and Alric isn't in Modern at all.

I've run the math on this a few times ([here]( and here). The short version is that the expected value is negative, but only by a few dollars per season. And to me, that is offset by the fun of opening

Oh cool! I didn't see you hadn't counted the Dr. Blights! That is such a huge part of the benefit of the pre-sale, so I'm glad to see that after you factor that in, it's pretty close to even! In doing

No, it is a fallacy. She labeled the vouchers as having $0 value because she "got them for free", when she did not get them for free and they have value. I don't love the tone of the question.

I'll reply here to both you and @enginewitty, since my comment wasn't clear and left both y'all with the wrong impression. One of my biggest complaints about the crypto space is that any time someone says

This is really cool! I'd be interested to see analyses at different ratings. E.g. 400-1000, 1000-1900, etc. I imagine the win rates vary pretty heavily across them.

This is the way. Buy singles not packs. Sell vouchers. The only difference in my approach is I've been buying packs with my vouchers and then selling the packs. Yesterday I broke even doing this, even

"I had sufficient SPS staked in order to be airdropped the required 300 purchases packs so I did not spend any additional money to be able to buy the packs." This is terrible logic. You could

Thanks for the feedback! DEC liquidity pools feel like a trap. I'd rather just have 2x of the DEC. And I'm not exposed to impermanent loss (impermanent loss also makes calculating ROI much more variable

I'm hoping when people need credits in a month to buy packs, they will be buying a lot of SPS then. But it might be balanced by people unstaking at the end of the second voucher airdrop phase. So I dunno.

My advice (unasked for, I know) is sell the XCHAOS. The consensus now seems to be that packs won't sell out immediately, so XCHAOS is a bad deal, since you're paying 50% more than a pack for a pack. Sell

Oh glad you read it! I thought about linking it in my comment, but didn't want to seem like I was shilling my post in your own well-done post. I should have also said, I agree with your other points (with

I'd recommend not opening those 100 packs. That's few enough that they are essentially lottery tickets. You only get nice, even distributions and prevent terrible luck once you open like 1000 packs.

Don't open 250 packs, is my advice. Either buy 1000 to open, or hold and sell those 250. Anything short of 1000 means you're opening yourself to bad luck (as opposed to law of large numbers nice
