I was reading a great little post by 
In the post, he stated that he paid $17 / BCK for the maxed card and set him back around $190 in total.
Personally, I think that was one of the most brilliant purchases I've see spoken about here in Splinterlands and it cemented by belief in my 'game plan' when it comes to getting maxed versions of these new Legendary cards...
Let me break down my path to max :)
Right now, I think these cards are super affordable. I know the argument is being made that there will be so many copies of them still to be printed, but sometimes I think we forget how much this game a grown over the past few months.
There just won't be enough maxed versions of these cards to go around and as an investor into the collectibility of these assets, I started dollar cost averaging into them.
So while Oshannus is double the cost of Harklaw and Djinn, I still buy (or at least attempt to buy) one copy of each...Every week or two.
Today I spent around $100 (around 10500 DEC or so) and grabbed a copy of each...
I now have my Oshannus card leveled up to 2. That means 3 BCX and still a ways to go...And paying around $50 for a new BCX today was a bit cheaper than he's been trading for over the past few weeks.
8 more BCX to go!
Biljka has been the most affordable of all legendaries so I've been able to get it up to Level 3.
Only 5 more BCX to get this one to max level and I've been averaging him at around $20 per copy.
Harklaw has been an interesting experiment for me.
He's been around 22-23$ per BCK average so I've been able to get him to Level 3. But he's apparently the 'Lord of Darkness' replacement.
Here's the thing....I've never played with Lord of Darkness, so my experience with Harklaw and the entire Death Splinter has been...Meh.
I know people swear by this splinter but I just haven't found a good mix or comfortable line up....So yeah, any suggestions for succeeding in Death would be welcomed :)
Just like Biljka, there's only 5 more BCX needed for him to get maxed!
The Strategy
I know a lot of people would say....Keep the DEC, you'll get more SPS.
I know a lot of people would say...There are so many more copies to be printed, the prices will come down.
I know I know lol
But again, for me...This game is about the cards! And it's what attracted me first to Splinterlands, the ability to collect these assets and with these new Legendaries, I just feel like down the road...It'll be a no brainer to max them out!
Do you have a strategy for dollar cost averaging into the assets here?
I would love to compare notes ;)
