This is (about) how much gold you need for ALL new 1.5 cards

[glencocoe]

Sup guys. I just bought all the cards. I started off w/about 9k worth of gold before I did anything, then bought about 500 shadow crystals worth, giving me a grand total of 1.1k crystals w/the 600 I already had (to buy boosters & keep new cards, sell the extras). I bought as many cards as i could with my gold. The second round net me 13k after selling all my extras. So basically:

20k-22k is what buying all the new cards boil down to ( at current market prices as of THIS time).

I'm sure prices will change, especially for the armor, becoming much cheaper, but for those who want to have everything available from the start, this is what you need....not including purchases of shadow crystals, extras, bonuses, etc. For those who just are REALLY lazy right now, here's a very simple key for how much copies of 4 will cost for the most common prices I've seen, so you don't have to use your calculator every 5 seconds & so you know your limits:

100gold (buying 4 cards): 400gold total
200gold (buying 4 cards): 800gold total
400gold (buying 4 cards): 1600gold total
600gold (buying 4 cards): 2400gold total (oops, was definitely half asleep)

I hope this helped and have a nice time playing!

P.S. oh and starter decks have NOT been outfitted with new 1.5 cards yet, so do not buy them if you're expecting a deal on new 1.5 cards. They're great if you don't currently have cards which have been out for a while (1.29), but you're going to have to wait if you're tight on money and want a deal w/some decent volume. They'll be coming soon.

One thing I don't get is why u saying "the armor, becoming much cheaper"?
I can't remember price of any card goes down after they got pumped up~~

It depends on when you entered the game & prices do fluctuate all the time. And I also say that because of the supply and demand. The armor no one uses WILL get cheaper. It's just a matter of time.

Me neither, but devs claiming that there's system with price's fluctuation depending on quantity of a card. I've no idea how it works, because I don't follow the prices all the time, but I assume that with time as their quantity will go low they will become only more expensive because of the deficit.

In my opinion that's not the case, the system is quantity dependent, not quality. I'm not entirely sure though.

Getting most of the the new cards (the ones I wanted) cost me about $15 and I'm pleased with that. I still haven't bought 4th copies of some of them yet because I'm not sure if I'll need them right away. I wasn't too lucky with the booster packs so most of my cards were purchased in Gold. At one point I had 18k Gold I think. Right now I'm sitting on 2K while I decide on what Epics and Rares I want to complete.

Math fail! 4*600 != 1800

Not sure if this have been mentioned but... What is the best and quickest way of turning sc into gold?

[Warr Byrd]

The best way to convert sc into gold is Elemental starter decks.

Since most cards are bought on a fairly regular basis (primarily people who don't get shadow crystals and gold farm to purchase everything), their prices don't go down. However, some cards have become cheaper; for example, Here Be Monsters only costs 80g when it should be 100g. I think there are two or three other cards that have been knocked down, but I don't remember and don't feel like checking the price on every card. But the odds of any particular cards being knocked down in price, especially the armors which don't come in Starter packs, is very slim. DOn't expect the prices to drop until the first expansion pack is released.

I bought all mine in one shot, just over 30k.
