Should only open Basic packs? Or are Rare, Epic or Ledgendary packs worth it?
Seems like basic packs have same luck of getting rare cards compared to other packs even Legendary. There the only type i have gotten 1-2k cards from and feels the same when getting the odd 100 - 500 buck cards too.

Are the odds not increased with rarer packs or am i just wasting money opening them?

The odds aren't necessarily better, but the special cards (1st ed, silver/gold, full art, etc) sell for more by comparison.

Ya thats fair alright, just seems like im wasting my money with the legendary packs compared to basic packs since there three times the price but the odds don't seem to increase.

from what I can tell common/rare/legendary are less rarity increases and more like an alternative set you can open, the cards seem to be completely different for each of them

Ah ok, my goal is to try maximize profits so prob been wasting my money with the rarer packs the whole time. Thanks, feels a bit more validating that someone else notices it as well

Legendary always, the full art legendary foils sells for more. In common they sell for max 2-3k, legendary is 2-7k, i think the chances are about the same, you do get more 10$+ pulls from legendary since card values are higher.

Once i collect all cards from commons i basically never open them again.

Might go back to them so, hadnt gotten one over 1k from them so maybe gave up prematurely.. didnt know they can go up to 7k wow.

Yeah, i still open rare, epic and legendaries though, you can somewhat tell what cards you're missing if you sort the cards by type.

I think the highest full art legendary foil was 7k in basics and 8k in destiny, something like that. There's a lot of cards ranging from 2-8k so you should eventually get some, later on i recommend opening destiny packs for a higher chance of ghost foils.

I've collected all basic cards in a previous game, that's how i know.

There's a Discord for the game and they did a comparison between opening all the different sets/packs. The legendary packs were by far the most profitable and had the highest chance for ghost foils (which is mostly what people are hunting for). From my experience, I have gotten drastically better cards from the legendary packs, and it has been the only pack I've pulled a ghost foil from. It's the difference between pulling $30 cards and $3000 cards

This. The Legendary packs are the way to go. Best value possible per card. You'll see consistent $100-200 cards with occasional cards in the thousands. You can actually look at the TCG price follower on the phone and sort by type, they tell you what the current values are for each card in the set, and which pack they come in. The highest quality you can find has the highest value on average. Legendary>Epic>Rare>Basic. Doesn't mean you can't pull something great from a lower pack, but it won't be as good as what that same pull would have been in a Legendary.

from my experience basic nets the highest profit over an extended period of time 1000+ boxes. but that being said moving that profit and opening packs makes the higher rarity packs more profit per hour. so if you have endless time and want to milk every single day for every penny basic. if you are sane go for higher rarity ones and save yourself a ton of work lol
