Is now the time to go all in on GOLD??
The benefits of "GOLD" over "Standard":
- Higher Card Power
- More AirDrop Points
- More SPS
- 10% Extra Dec On Win Battles - Per Card
- Less BCX to Level Up
So all these benefits, Why don’t all players choose "GOLD" over "STANDARD"...
Well in short the main issue is price $$$$$
Previously the gold foils were even 2x, 3x or higher the standard card price but as the market is falling I believe now is the time to snatch up some real bargains, lets look at an example below:
Pelacor Bandit
Current Market Price: GOLD = $0.98 Per BCX
Current Market Price: Standard = $0.04 Per BCX
GOLD starts at level 3 vs Standard at level 1 so to match off you would need 14 standards coming in at $0.56 saving you $0.42 but then you do loose out on the 10% DEC offer you get on a GOLD!
You also only need 38 to MAX out a copy which would come to $37.24 compare that to a MAX copy of standard and that is $16 so yes a saving of $21 but then you need to look at the residual value of holding a GOLD copy? How much could that price inflate as it goes out of print?? 10% Maybe...Maybe more maybe less... in the high before the whole crypto space edged closer to the Bear market this card for 1 copy was at its peak $7 per BCX.. just using that number x 38 = $266 possible? I don’t see why not! Especially as I mentioned its only going to twiddle and print comes to an end... Granted we are only at 27% printed!
I have today maxed out a "Belacor Bandit" for $37 as always I’m bullish on this game and can only see it going from strength to strength... but I know there are a lot out there who are sceptical, who are selling bargains like this and for them I will continue to snatch them up. As
