First set was random in a terrible way.
i dont know what this means. what is random in a not terrible way?
You get 2 rares in each starter box. I know for a fact this true.
you get 2 rares in each starter deck/pack and there are 12 packs in a box. so you get 24 rares in a starter box.
i was wrong when i said that there are 30 rares in a box of boosters, there are actually 36 because you get 36 packs.
so that makes booster boxes an even better deal then starter boxes.
I bought the cards. I got over 500 cards more than booster boxes.
every starter box you got gives you 180 more cards then a booster box, not 500. thats math.
The fact that it was totally random the rares are not necessarily the best cards in the first set. If you factor into today's game.
there better then the commons and uncommons on average.
Unerrata ku and ar were uncommon but they were more rare than rares.
no, there not. thats math.
The artifacts are pretty much not worth the seed slot.
neither is iconion computer weapon. whats your point?
I mainly bought the first set for equipment, universial personnel, and few other things. The rest were cardbacks. It was cheaper and looked better than printing those cards.
if you are only interested in buying boxes to get cardbacks and a bunch of commons then yes buying starter boxes is a better value for money. thats the one version where you should buy starters instead.
almost no one will be buying boxes for cardbacks. most players probably have complete sets which means they almost certainly have more commons and cardbacks already then they know what to do with. the players that dont have complete sets are going t obe interestd in completing there sets first, which means getting the rares since those are hardest to get, which means booster boxes are better value for there money since they complete the set faster and cheaper.
