Today is the day to increase my Chaos Legion card collection in Splinterlands. As I mentioned in other posts, I recently decided to build a card collection in Splinterlands and the Chaos Legion edition was the one I chose because it is the cheapest currently and because the cards in this edition are very useful and powerful, so I will have no problem playing in the higher leagues with them.
To increase my Chaos Legion card collection I have 2 options:
Buy cards from other players in the Splinterlands market.
Buy Chaos Legion packs and open them in Splinterlands.
The most efficient option is to buy cards from other players in the game market because I will not depend on luck and I can make more accurate calculations of how much I will need to spend to get all my cards to the maximum level. But I like opening packs because it is fun and there is always the possibility of me getting lucky and getting a very valuable card.
Today I will choose the option of buying Chaos Legion packs and opening them in Splinterlands.
To start, I went to Hive Engine and bought 5 Chaos Legion packs for the price of 0.899 Swap.Hive each. In total, I spent 4.49 Swap.Hive buying the 5 packs, which is the equivalent of $.190 considering the current price of Hive.
After buying the packs, I just need to transfer them to my Splinterlands account and open them. It's a very simple and quick process.
After having the Chaos Legion packs in my account, I just need to open them and see which cards I received.
Each Chaos Legion pack contains 5 cards, with at least 1 of Rare rarity or higher.
An important detail before opening the packs is to always have Alchemy potions and Legendary potions in your account. Each card consumes 1 potion of each, so to open 5 packs I will need 25 Alchemy potions and 25 Legendary potions.
The Alchemy potion will increase my chances of getting Gold Foil cards in the packs.
The Legendary potion will increase my chances of getting Legendary cards in the packs.
When all the preparations are ready, I just need to open the packs and see the result, now let's see if today is my lucky day or not.
I got 2 epic cards and 1 rare Gold Foil card, so the result was not bad, but I expected to get at least 1 legendary or more Gold Foil cards.
Luckily, I got several useful cards that I wanted in my collection, but unfortunately the total value of the cards I got in these 5 packs is lower than the value I paid for the packs, so I ended up at a loss, and if I had chosen to buy the cards on the market, then I would have gotten more cards with the amount I spent.
I paid $1.90 for the 5 Chaos Legion packs, so my loss was $0.62.
Even though I ended up losing money, it was fun opening the packs and I like to do this sometimes to test my luck and also to satisfy my desire to open packs. I usually open packs once or twice a week and I intend to do this until my Chaos Legion card collection is completely at maximum level.
