Bradius wrote: ↑Tue Nov 14, 2023 2:49 pm I too am trying to cut back as retirement looms for me as well. I am in for the series, excluding the Prism decks. I am fine with that. I am going to pass on bricks as well. I do like the story and design. In my earlier days, I would be all over this. I might pick up an extra cold foiled deck to open. I am still on the fence for the Dynastinae deck. It is sweet, but also really pricy.

Hi, probably... although if you wait until the prisms/legacy unlock you could add everything as add-ons. Although the savings are best with the completionist.

Evilgamer wrote: ↑Tue Nov 14, 2023 6:25 pm if I did the math correctly having 2 accounts would save you about $3 assuming every deck unlocks

$564

1 completionist @ $345 + an extra dynastinate, prism, gold, and marked is $567 and you would have 3X extra red/blue/black

(post above mine raises a good point though, is there going to be a limit on prisms per account?)

We can do that? I figured trying to bypass the 1 limit add-ons with a 2nd account would result in an order cancellation

The options are: I liked so much the way Omar came forward and owned everything with grace or the cards are so beautiful I couldn’t restrain myself or I’m completely unreliable with my own priorities.

Evilgamer wrote: ↑Tue Nov 14, 2023 8:45 pm Sure but that depends on how much you personally value extras or your willingness to play the long game with resale. To me the value of a pledge level is either to get 1 copy of every deck or to get the desirable deck that has gotten "gate kept" behind a pledge level. For Beetleback the only deck that could apply to would be the prototype.

personally Im sitting on a box of extra TWI incubo decks I got as part of buying Giovannis "monster" pack to get past rare decks and considering no one wants them they have $0 value right now and are just taking up space. (I hate selling things anyway)

Its the same with the brick here, absolutely very beautiful and cool cards, that past the first extra deck for each at best to keep one unopened, I have no use for therefore they have -->TO ME<---no value. At least with the TWI decks the cheapest way to get 1X of everything I wanted WAS to buy the biggest thing and accept I was getting nearly an entire brick I didn't want included at the same price. It would be like you putting the successor box on a pledge level at $200 that also had the beetle back brick included. (not suggesting you should do so )

As of current stats on the campaign 100 people think I'm wrong and thats fine, we don't have to agree on everything and I made peace with this outcome when I first saw the campaign page last week.. Im happy with where I am in the campaign, and I'll get my prism deck when the time comes(and maybe the others...we'll see...it's been an expensive month). Would I like a protype? and would I be sitting a 1X every deck pledge if there was one? yep but Im not going to get upset about it.
