Hahahaha, those pandemic pounds are definitely holding my ninja moves back. I'm still working on it... but it's tough.
I'm waiting for Chaos Legion to be released too... not so much as an exit plan but as a way to get competitive again without spending thousands of dollars. I guess we'll have to wait and see how competitive the new cards are... but you'd have to imagine that the current prices of cards would drop as people spend their cash on the new ones.
Totally hear you about choice... just don't forget that you're absolutely above average intelligence... so chances are make waaaaaay smarter decisions than the vast majority of the country, so yeah, the hardcore rules are less for you and more for the dumbest of Aussies. Sounds super intense though, did you feel the earthquake? I've still never experienced one, even though everyone says the US west coast is seriously overdue for a massive one.
Oh, yeah the Earthquake was a little surprise in the day. I kinda didn't even realize what it was although I just walked out the lift literally 5 seconds before it happened so my experience might have been a whole lot different had it happened moments before.
(Fun Fact: I did get trapped in a lift one time with a group of pissed work colleagues and the anxiety it creates is intense. Besides the fact we all needed to break the seal. haha)
Now if you can get in on the CL Pre-Sale I'd say that's the best opportunity to make a bit of quick cash especially if they're offering limited promo cards again. Otherwise I feel CL will drag on and prices will head south for sometime to come. So don't rush in to buy the average cards.
They are offering limited promo cards for packs bought during pre-sale. Cha-ching!
