how to spend 10k credits?

[matavious]

So I will have around 10000 credits saved up by the time the expansion comes out. The question is how best to spend them?

I have 5 for most commons and uncommons, but I'm nowhere close to a complete set of rares in base set.

I'm leaning towards towards pack buying experiment where I sell all the cards I buy and see if I end up with more than I started. But which packs to buy? 100 tempar packs vs 11 Assassin packs + 1 Templar.

I've tallied the expect value of rares at lowest sell price (highest buy price is considerably lower). Assassins's rares average falls in 880-930 range and Templars 125-135.

But that's for a pretty stable market. During the high flux early days of the market it seems Assassin cards will command a significant premium.

Thoughts?

I just asked the same question in another thread regarding what to do with the credits when expansion comes out. So you suggest getting Assassin cards ? I have really bad luck with the Assassin pack I only got 1 card worth about 500 for the 5 packs I bought

Options:

1) Enjoy the wheelin' and dealin'
2) Spend the price of a supersize MacMeal and get a head start



Personally I think the market is pretty mature in terms of booster vs singles value, so trying to make money out of buying and selling is going to be really difficult, assassin or Templar. But with the new cards obviously there is an opportunity of getting some crazy prices in the first couple of days, but that's still a gamble - we really don't know if those prices will be crazy low or crazy high (whether to buy and hold or sell high).

I'm not a gambler by nature

Whenever an expansion comes out its always a case of high demand and little supply. Buy packs to make money, buy from the market if you actually want to use the cards.

If you still need a lot of cards, I'd go with Templar packs. Assuming current market there are 8 assassin cards with sell price greater than pack cost, the probability of getting zero in 5 packs is about 30%

I'm in the same boat with only 10000 credits. I will likely kick in some funds to both support the game and see more cards. Plan to split assassin and Templar packs.

Looking forward to it. Should be fun.
