Season 7... Brawls were fun! (silver league GF), tournaments were great, but ranked battles lacked something for me. Seeing the same lineups over and over, forcing me to only play the same few cards again and again...
Seriously thinking of selling the cards I am no longer able to use since they are not competitive...
Curious about my card collection?

The Plan for Season 8 = Already set up to rent for the entire season. I should pocket enough DEC to pick up some new RW cards.
Ranked rewards provided some good returns this time with the 2x GF + 1 Legendary + 2 packs. Seems credit value can be great if you get lucky on chests. A couple nice tournament returns locked in some SPS gains

Why is everyone sleeping on these Vouchers? Easily a $2 value. Prove me wrong.
Let's Standardize!
Using the historical volumes combined with current USD conversion prices, we can see what each season would look like given the same conversion rates:
This is what I like to see!
a start of an up-trend. Although ranked battles and tournaments cashed me the bulk of my rewards, I plan to rent on season 8 to see how that impacts my ROI.
I know Rift Watchers was just released, which plays in to my strategy: build up DEC through rentals allowing the current market to fall in price after the initial launch, then pick up the RW cards I want.
What do you think?
Am I making the right moves?
Would you like me to focus on anything specific next time?
Or analyze something else?
Let me know!
I know this information is hyper-focus on my personal journey. It may not be relevant to most readers. Or could provide some answers to questions you may have over which path to take (rental vs ranked vs tournaments). I am happy to expand the content
Just a heads-up, this may be my final post on this format and content...
