I was surprised with how quickly they were able to release it as the team had been dealing with a lot of releases during the quarter. It was actually pretty tough to budget for this as the other releases like Tower Defense and Riftwatchers had already made a big hole in my virtual wallet; particularly in SPS. I was actually glad they decided to sell for DEC and the Vouchers for a discount was the blessing that made what I ended up doing possible. If not done this way, some sacrifices may have had to happen around other assets in the ecosystem.
My approach was to buy a Regular Foil version first to see if I got lucky with a Gold Foil. It appears all that luck went to Jim Morgan as he went 2 for 2 on Gold Foils for Lux Vega! However, I was ok with that as I knew this would be a good card for rentals and even potentially for land in the future. In fact, I would have probably wanted to go for another but funds were surely limited given the purchase of my Gold Foil version. I was pleased with the Voucher discount as I have continued to hold them despite the drop in price. If I would have gotten a second Gold Foil, my idea was to negotiate a trade for a Gold Foil Runi as the Lux Vega is likely more scarce and more useful within the game at the moment.
I have found myself using it quite a bit during all types of battles. I also see a large number of people using it at the Gold and Diamond Leagues while I am there at the beginning of the Season. I think there is no doubt that this is a key card for any Collection and the fact that only about 1k exist will only validate its value and utility. If I ever have extra funds not needed elsewhere and prices fall, I know where I will be looking first! However, with so may smart players and investors around, I doubt I will get that opportunity!
