That was a very long, but interesting, way of saying, "If you want your Chaos cards, better get them now."  lol

I totally agree, before the sale I was generally of the opinion that card prices were going to come down.  And they have to a certain extent.  But as people start to figure out which cards are the most valuable, some of them have started to creep back up.

The interesting dynamic here in my eyes is that while there are literally going to be of thousands of some of these cards printed, the fact that a little less than half the decks have been sold means that there aren't nearly that many on the market.  More will continue to drip out...but how much will you have to pay for them at that point?  Will the demand outstrip the supply at some point and prices shoot upward?  Could happen.

I have *almost* maxed my Gold Level deck.  I've got no shot at fully maxing it.  Way too expensive for me.  But I went ahead and bought most of the ones I needed early.  I overpaid for some of them, but, surprisingly, there are quite a few I got for a bargain.

We'll see what happens from here.  Congrats on being able to just sit back and watch!  I'm sure it will be pretty fascinating now that you don't have to worry so much which way prices go.

But, it wouldn't have been as fun to write :)

And I think this will continue, especially as scarcity starts to set in. It will take some time to sell all the packs, but a lot of people will want to buy or rent along the way, to get what they want. However, once those packs do sell, it changes again. 

>I have almost maxed my Gold Level deck. 

That is awesome. Some of them are crazy... I do have a few key ones that I took in gold, as well as some that I thought were "cheap". 

I am just trying to work out the new cards - I wasn't great before them - not any better with them! :D

I want to clarify:  Gold *League* level deck.  Not Gold *Foil*.  lol  Like I said, too rich for my blood. It kinda sucks but...it's almost double the cards to go from  Gold League to Max leveling.  I didn't get started in the game until July so nothing has been cheap.  I'm about tapped out for this game.  Just a couple more to go.

I *have* managed to at least get a dozen or so of the cards to my levels with the Gold Foil.  In some cases early on, it was almost cheaper to buy 20 GFs of the common cards than it was to buy 220 of the regular, which are the number for level 8.  In the cases where I've got the GFs, I'm trying to take the regular to level 5, and vice-versa.  That way I can play the one and hopefully rent the other.  Probably not going to be worth much but...worst case is hodl and sell later.

> I am just trying to work out the new cards - I wasn't great before them - not any better with them!

I am 100% right there with you.  I've come to the conclusion that if I want to actually get *good* at this game, I'm going to have to do some studying.  The hardest part for me is getting my lineup set in under 3 minutes.  So many choices.  I think the good players know which combinations to go to for certain rulesets and where they are in their decks.  They then just have to guess what their opponent is going to do and adapt accordingly.  I'm just trying to get my numbers to match the mana total.  lol

Ah... that is a bit different - still :D

>It kinda sucks but...it's almost double the cards to go from Gold League to Max leveling.

And depending on the card, not really worth it. my "non-BL" are mostly not maxed, though I have a half decent DICE set too, with max summoners. The rest, almost nothing but key cards here and there. 

>That way I can play the one and hopefully rent the other. Probably not going to be worth much but...worst case is hodl and sell later.

I think this is a good way to go. I have done the same for a few cards, where I have a max that I play and a *potential* max that I have combined a little to rent a bit. 

>The hardest part for me is getting my lineup set in under 3 minutes.

lol yeah. I have come close to timing out, where I have to randomly choose cards in whatever order, just to get into the round.... rarely goes well :)
