I haven't really paid attention to booster packs for quite a while. I couldn't even remember that there was a no duplicates rule.
If I were just starting out, I wouldn't be looking only at the cost in gold so much as I'd be trying to pad out the number of copies of key cards, and trying to extend the reach of my collection. If I took the basic
Boris starter I'd really want to get rid of those Rain Delays, Extra Sharps, etc. and pack in more Crippling Blow, Blood Frenzy, Aldon,
Jasmine,
Raven.
Any Priest cards or Shadow stuff would just go to the sidelines or get melted down in my effort to get my deck to work.
What I would hate is to get more of the cards I was trying to remove from my deck, along with those for other classes and factions, and just plain bad cards like
Katrin the Shieldmaiden.
Sooo... ....you couldn't pull 10 x 80 gold Commons. But you could get:
Here be Monsters for 80
Extra Sharp for 90
Rain Delay for 90
Urgent Business
Selfishness
Campfire Stories
Hellsteed
Aimed Shot
Pack Alpha
Firesnake all worth 100 gold
and not good for much else until later, if ever!
