With the recent surge in card prices its becoming harder and harder to buy singular cards. So where does that leave us? Buying packs! But will buying packs even bring us a profit? I'm putting my money where my mouth is to find out for everyone. (Not financial advice) ___ ### Total Costs (We are going to use 1000 dec/dollar to calculate costs and profits. And purchase potions to maximize profits) 100 packs at $2/pack = $200 + 500 legendary potions at ~.4 cents/potion = $19 + 500 Alchemy Potions at ~.5 cents/potion = $23.75 TOTAL COSTS = $242.75 ___ Now the fun part, opening packs! For the sake of time and space I will be using the peakmonsters website to calculate pack value when opening them as well as only showing packs of high value to save space. To see the full list of cards I acquired please see https://peakmonsters.com/@bragurr/explorer Scroll to the bottom to see the total!

__________________________________________ And that's all of them! Time to total them up.

Total Earnings = $179.42 or about 1.79 a pack

Sadly we did lose $63.33 but what we gained will help us in battles and will continue to grow in price as Splinterlands gets more and more popular. We must also remember that while the average return is $1.79 a pack, most packs are worth 20-60 cents so if you only open a couple packs expect that amount back unless you get extremely lucky. Looks like buying singles is still the way to go... at least for now 😉 Interesting fact - Untamed packs are going for about $1.70 in wax.atomichub which is very close to the average value we got.
