I took "profit" and bought 10 Chaos Legion Packs

Opening CHaos Legion packs has been quite underwhelming in recent times but that didn't stop me from buying 10 packs with the profit I earned from my DEC flip I've talked about a couple of times. After opening the 10 packs, I can confidently say that I made a horrible decision.

For whatever little it is worth for context, I didn't buy the Chaos Legion packs directly from the game because I've already bought more than 1000 packs, so I'm assured of at least one of the incoming airdrop monsters. Also, considering how terrible the rewards from CL packs have been, I didn't see any reason why I should be buying each for $4.

Anyway, after opening 10 packs that I got for $21.8, the total dollar value of the assets I found inside was valued at a bit less than $13 at the time. This is just a bit over half of the total cost of investment and this realisation also means that I will no longer be buying Chaos Legion packs.

To put it simply, right now, there's really no immediate value derivable from opening Chaos Legion packs. The simple fact is that there are just far too many of them and the demand for the monsters isn't anything to write home about.

Naturally, I was hoping to find a gold foil legendary in the packs but the best I got was two rare gold foils and a bunch of commons. I mean, things are so terrible with packs that I didn't even get a summoner to console myself.

Lesson learnt

I was caught between two thoughts before buying the packs. On one hand, I wanted to buy chaos legion packs in the secondary market for experimental purposes and on the other hand, I was thinking of simply just reinvesting my profit into specific monsters that I need to improve my ranked play.

It has already been established that buying CL packs turned out to be a bad decision. Even buying from the secondary market didn't change anything and now that I think about it, there were monsters in my deck that the funds could have gone towards.

Once again, for whatever little it is worth, I haven't sold the monsters I got in the Chaos Legion pack, so it is still in the category of unrealised loss. All the monsters will obviously be used for ranked battles so they could still generate in some way through chests and whatnot.

Anyway, the main takeaway from this publication is that if you have a short-term plan to flip assets, then you should absolutely avoid packs. Well, not unless your plan is to flip packs, then you could play around with numbers in the secondary market. Personally, I'll be completely avoiding Chaos Legion packs from now on and only touch packs that I get from rewards.

I think buying Rw is better than buying cl because is just getting bad everyday

Buying packs is taking part in the lottery. Buying cards on the market is the best investment.

You’re not likely to get a hold foil legendary that way, but the value and strength of your deck will be much greater

Lottery is the perfect description tbh and I had shit luck

The best way to profit from packs is to open a big amount of them all at once when the sales have just started. You then get the fairest distribution percentage-wise.

You then immediately put those cards on the market that are hyped in the first few days.

After that your rent out the rest with splex.gg automatically and you don’t look back until the pack edition you bought had sold out.

i am still on the splinterlands terrorist's list even there is no reason for my country to be under US sanctions so i decided to rent everything and i use that DEC do buy packs.
Probably not the best decision as the return of the cards in those packs is almost always under 4$. But they do value DEC at 1$ when you are buying packs so as long as DEC is under 1$ on the market i will probably continue to do that.

You're in Russia? Anyway, sorry about the situation.

serbia. but i think they fucked up when they were implementing some changes. but did not exclude the country. because there are no sanctions 🤷‍♂
