I feel like buying variants with gold is a great option. You get 2000 tokens after buying 10 variants and albums have credits and tokens as rewards too.

[@voodooreptiles3553]

It's a terrible way to go. 7000 gold at minimum (and that never happens) for 2000 tokens and a premium mystery variant.

[@zombiegoatt4282]

@voodooreptiles3553 you get a lot more than that lmao. You get 10 variants 2,000 tokens and progress in the albums. It's the old saying killing 2 birds with 1 stone only in this case It's 3 birds. Don't forget 3 of those 10 variants are of the Super Rare level saving you 1200 gold every 10 purchases.

[@zombiegoatt4282]

@@voodooreptiles3553 what do you mean it never happens? It's permanent it doesn't reset until you hit 10 purchases lmao.

@@voodooreptiles3553 It's a value if you get variants for specific albums.

[@kopanosimanuify]

Do the purchases have to be in one go? Or do the accumilate

[@rensan1287]

The reason players feel the gold bundles suck now is that they used to be much more generous with great gold to token/credit ratios and cosmetics were extra items you’d obtain. Now the gold bundle ratios are much more modest and closer to their standard offers along with taking the value of cosmetic components into account for the cost (remember that variants and avatars have their own gold values).
You’re also underestimating the value of collector’s tokens in those bundles. While credits are definitely much more useful for newer players looking to build their collections, players that have completed their Series 1-3 collections can only obtain new cards from the spotlight caches or by purchasing cards with tokens. While spotlight caches have been shown to be very beneficial for players with fewer series 4 and 5 cards, longer term players (especially F2P ones) many weeks have to decide whether they gamble caches to obtain a new card that might be featured with one or two cards they already own. Tokens allow players to purchase new cards while bypassing the cache randomness or give them access to a card they may not have used caches for (for whatever reason). Tokens, though, are not cheap (using real or in game currency) and cards are relatively expensive to buy with tokens. Usually when longer term players are judging the value of a bundle, they’re considering the token to gold ratio more so than the credits they’re obtaining.

[@RennyMoses]

Honestly, as a F2P player, i found it better to save the gold, and just spend token tuesdays.. get tokens, buy better cards.

[@Rin-zb4jg]

Yes. That and good bundles that come with tokens

[@alexisleon-ie1bl]

In the store you dont get better cards you just get cosmetics from the library you already own

[@AlanHearshel]

if you are collection 3 complete, tokens are much more important for getting new cards than credits. So base your calculations purely on credits is not always correct. That is why old yt videos would enourage people to buy bundles for tokens
however it seems that nowadays the tokens do not appear on golden bundles anymore (that is why newer yt videos do not encourage buying them anymore)... so your approach of value per credit is more correct now

[@Faffo90]

why should 3000 token be worst then credits ? 6k token its a new card when maybe if you are unlucky in a week you need 4 key to get a new card how much credit its 4 keys ?

[@zombiegoatt4282]

@Faffo90 every new card isn't worth getting so tokens have very little true value in the game.

[@TheEdga7]

It's also important to add that, by buying missions you also do the weekly challenge that also gives a big amount of credits

[@gonimd]

The math is right but your analysis is wrong. Credits are the cheapest economy (nothing in this game is cheap but a lot easier to accumulate than gold and tokens). As a free to play player you should use gold on token tuesday and only the rate of 1500/1200 or an amazing token bundle forget the variant. Next find a deck that has remained tier 2 to tier 3 (destroy loki phoenix force comed to mind) and that you have the most cards in your collection to create it use tokens to finish the high end cards play that deck for a long time heck make gold splits for them continue with tokens and (see 1 of 1000 vid that have series 4/5 tier list and target the series 4 in particular as youll 2 cards for token value of 1 series 5) youll eventually get series 3 complete or close to it. Save keys till you have at least 4

[@zombiegoatt4282]

@gonimd how is this supposed to be fun? Playing the same deck is just super boring. I change up every new season, currently not running Arishem eventhough that deck took me to infinite because I want to experience something new.

[@SuperACE121212]

I'm a free 2 play guy 2... I've never spent a dollar on this game. Just want to say great video. Keep up the good work.

[@Dreadnox05]

Not spending money in a card game is just not fun. Never.

[@chrisblake4198]

If you're cycling missions you should also factor in your time. So spend gold to fill yourself up on missions and work on knocking out several of them at the same time. You can also go into Conquest and knock out missions there. You get the added benefit of that reward track at the same time.

[@Reddune92]

On average it takes what 600 credits for one reserve box? and on average you open 4 to get a new card. So a new card cost on average 600*4 = 2400 credits. If you do not have series 3 complete you can get a random series 3 card for 1k token -> so 1k token = 2400 in that situation. So i think just looking at credits is not the right way to go

[@Feds_the_Freds]

Th ms marvel bundle was pretty good. Collector tokens are worth a lot, but only when you already have most of the cards.
EDIT: You also forgot gold for varients to get album rewards.

[@MatthewdeKimble]

I got the Helicarrier one. Never used the card but want to get my collection level up.

[@Rin-zb4jg]

Why are you just focusing on credits? I think tokens should be the priority. Its easy to get credits

[@2kDragon333]

He is focusing on credits for progression. That is better for newer players.
Tokens better for high collection level players. All the cards I lack are new cards. For me more tokens, more new cards.
Credits just get me more gold tickets.

[@zombiegoatt4282]

I use my gold on the mystery variants every 10 I buy gives me 2,000 tokens.

[@voodooreptiles3553]

Huge waste.

[@zombiegoatt4282]

@@voodooreptiles3553 hasn't been so far.

[@zombiegoatt4282]

@voodooreptiles3553 it doesn't work the way you described. It only resets after 10 purchases even if you only got it once a month it's very worth it.
