Is buying the Wild bundle worth it ?

Submitted 5 years, 5 months ago by

Hey guys, so Ive been playing the game since the launch of Naxxramas and have enjoyed it ever since. Mostly beeing free too play though i have made the mistake to allways disenchant the cards that rotated out of standard. Now I just got back into this game hard and finally hit Legend on standard this month (Yaay), and now I really dont see the point in playing Standard and tryharding anymore. I really wanna start playing wild and seeing all these cards again that have been long forgotten by me. 

Now the question i have, is the new wild bundle worth my money ? It honestly seems like a good deal but I could also get a lot of useless trash for a lot money so I am really unsure. Did anyone buy it and can give me an advice wether I should do it or not ? 

Thanks in advance !

    If you have no Wild cards whatsoever, I feel like that bundle will only be a drop in the ocean. You may get lucky and get some of the cards that are intensively being played, but you may also just get the tip of the iceberg. I think in terms of value ($/Pack), the bundle is worth it, but for recovering 4 years worth of card-collection, 50'something packs won't be much ... and you won't get lots of duplicate - read dust - as you don't have most of those sets already.

    Worth it? Yes
    Enough?doubt

    One of the main factors for me was the "first-10 packs Legendary" rule...

    With that said, I started HS in the new year after Rastakhan so my only wild cards were from the last rotation (and I do miss them SO much), so I decided to get lots of unique cool cards and 4x80% rolls at having new legendaries + C'thun et al, and jump in fully into the wild side

    I have not opened any pack yet to not mess up my pity timer which is imminent...DAMN YOU RNGesus.

    But when the time comes I will take my time and sip them like an oooold wine.

    YMMV...

    Your "pity" timer is individual for each set. You have no reason to wait to open your cards, because it will not reset your pity timer on any other set.,

    Exactly this! 

    I only play standard and therefor the bundle is nothing for me but i guess it is worth it for someone who plays wild

    If I were you I would buy one or two adventures instead if you don't have those cards already. (League of Explorers and Naxxramas being the best ones by far)

    That way you will get a good amount of cards that will see play, guaranteed.

    I think, yeah, the bundle is worth the money. If I were you, I would definitely buy it. 56 packs for 35$ sounds like a good deal.

     

    Warning! The first-legendary-in-the-first-10-packs rule DOESN'T apply, if you already have opened some packs from a specific set. Since you started playing since Naxx, you would have probably purchased GvG, TGT and/or WotoG/MSoG with gold and thus you won't get a guaranteed legendary in those 8 packs. I don't know when you stopped playing hs, but if there are some wild sets, which you haven't purchased yet, you would get a legendary 80% of the time there.

    This is not true.  The 10 packs rule does apply as long as you have not bought these wild packs after the rule was implemented.  Opening packs before the rule does not trigger the timer.  I've purchased 15 packs from each rotated set after the 10 packs rule was announced and had legendaries within the first 10 packs each time.  I believe there is a pack opening thread on HP for people doing the same but I'm too lazy to dig it up.  It was something to the tune of "post your 10 pack legendaries from each wild expansion".  I was so hyped to play with my new Blingtron :P

    Of course 8 is less than 10, so the point might be moot anyway.  Maybe all your legendaries will be in the 9th and 10th packs

    I stand corrected then.  That's pretty weird.  I guess a bunch of us got lucky at once or they shadow changed it at some point

    me, and my two friends all got legendaries in the first ten packs after the patch was released, even with sets we had opened before, and the chances of that happening to three of us, from several different sets, is too small for me to believe otherwise. so I guess they just made a change at some point, the chances of this happening are too good for anything else to be true.
