We have multiple options for the reward shop purchase, including common, rare, epic, and legendary. These are the rarity of the cards available in the reward shop that we can purchase using the glint tokens. We all know that a glint token is a token that is rewarded to us every day and also after the season ends. This token is not tradable in the market but it is like in-game currency which we can use only in the reward shop. I have been buying more legendary and epic cards for the last few months and now I am trying to buy some epic as well because these are also important cards in the game. I have already purchased one batch of epic cards this season hence the price for the next one has already increased and this is why I am going to buy rare draws.
The price increase happens after the badge and since I have already utilised one batch in Epic hence its not a wise decision to buy another since the price has already increased. Now I am going to buy a rare draw for 100 cards and this will cost me 75,000 glint tokens. Although I have not utilised the batch one for legendary for now I'm OK to go with rare instead of legendary draw this time.
Now I am going ahead with the purchase of 100 rare cards and I also have chosen the good alchemy potion because this increases the chance for the gold foil cards. I hope that out of these 100 cards, I am going to get a couple of cards in gold and it is always good to have more gold cards in the game. In this purchase, the card rarity is confirmed and the only possibility I have is to get some gold cards which is a surprise element hence let us see how it goes.
I have opened all the 100 cards to see what I have got out of this purchase and I'm glad to share that there are five gold cards I received. I'm not sharing all the card's snapshots here because it is going to be a lot of snapshots but I'm happy that I got 5 gold cards out of a hundred which is like 5% of gold cards. Some of the cards you can see in this snapshot for the same in gold foil. I am trying to grow my collection with the latest edition and buying from the reward shop is a good option which I am trying to do as much as possible. Although I'm not going to change my game format soon once I see that my collection is good enough then I can think about doing it however it will take some time.
These new reward cards are available from the latest edition which is called Rebellion. This is one of the editions that is mainly for gaming because these cards cannot be used for land. If you see the prices for those cars in the market, then you will notice that its quite good and even on the rental marketplace these are available at slightly higher rental prices. This can be a good reason for anyone to hold more cards from the rebellion addition however the older edition cards are available at pretty low prices for sale as well as rentals.
Now for this season, I have already utilised batch one for rare and epic draws and now I am left with common and legendary. The current season is halfway and the restocking will be happening in 8 days approximately from now. I will see if I am going to buy from the remaining rarities within this season. It's always good to buy in the first batch and avoid buying in the 2nd because in the second buyer's price goes up and for the same quantity we will have to pay a higher amount.
Now my purchase for 100 rare draw is done and I still have 454k glint tokens which is a good amount. I'll try to buy more cards within this season but the next purchase is going to be from legendary or the common for sure instead of epic or rare. I'm not accumulating any token balance to buy something big and I keep on buying different sets of cards from time to time because this is how I am trying to increase my latest reward cards collection in the game.
