Which are the best cards to buy for POWER - 01/10
This is a continuation on my series monitoring card prices.
Power is derived from the below table:
Pro tip: Promo cards can't be distinguished according to their border styles, but CP value is that of an Alpha card. Always double check a card before putting it on the market to see if it is not by chance a Promo card!
These prices are derived from lvl 1 cards, you might get better prices if you search for higher level cards!
Lowest Regular Foil card prices in the category:
| Price | Alpha/Promo | Beta/1st Reward | Dice/Untamed/2nd Reward | Chaos/3rd Reward |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Legendary | $137 | $46 | $22.99 | $4.95 |
| Epic | $24.96 | $8.50 | $3.64 | $0.78 |
| Rare | $3.13 | $1.55 | $0.69 | $0.16 |
| Common | $1.83 | $0.68 | $0.13 | $0.04 |
And here is the overview of Power/Price, which means how much power you get for a dollar (the higher the number the better).
Regular Foil price/power:
| Power/Price | Alpha/Promo | Beta/1st Reward | Dice/Untamed/2nd Reward | Chaos/3rd Reward |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Legendary | 21.9 Power/$ | 32.6 Power/$ | 43.5 Power/$ | 101.0 Power/$ |
| Epic | 24.0 Power/$ | 35.3 Power/$ | 54.9 Power/$ | 128.2 Power/$ |
| Rare | 38.3 Power/$ | 38.7 Power/$ | 58.0 Power/$ | 125.0 Power/$ |
| Common | 16.4 Power/$ | 22.1 Power/$ | 76.9 Power/$ | 125.0 Power/$ |
Lowest Gold Foil card in category:
| Price | Alpha/Promo | Beta/1st Reward | Dice/Untamed/2nd Reward | Chaos/3rd Reward |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Legendary | $8000 | $2000 | $839 | $100 |
| Epic | $1300 | $225 | $129.49 | $24.96 |
| Rare | $127 | $60 | $25 | $4.06 |

Gold Foil price/power:
| Power/Price | Alpha/Promo | Beta/1st Reward | Dice/Untamed/2nd Reward | Chaos/3rd Reward |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Legendary | 18.8 Power/$ | 37.5 Power/$ | 59.6 Power/$ | 125.0 Power/$ |
| Epic | 23.1 Power/$ | 66.7 Power/$ | 77.2 Power/$ | 100.2 Power/$ |
| Rare | 47.2 Power/$ | 50.0 Power/$ | 80.0 Power/$ | 123.2 Power/$ |
| Common | 25.4 Power/$ | 57.7 Power/$ | 99.4 Power/$ | 105.9 Power/$ |
So what cards are the best buys now. We have a restructuration of the market, let's look into it:
1st place goes to Regular foil Epic Chaos/3rd Reward cards
2nd place goes to 3 places Regular foil Common and Rare Chaos/3rd Reward
cards and Gold foil Legendary Chaos/3rd Reward cards
3rd place goes to Gold foil Rare 3rd Reward cards
The impact of the Chaos Legion cards on the Power/Price ration:
| Date | Best power/$ ratio |
|---|---|
| 09/24 | 86.4 Power/$ |
| 09/29 | 80 Power/$ |
| 10/07 | 58.8 Power/$ |
| 11/08 | 31.7 Power/$ |
| 12/30 | 90.9 Power/$ |
| 01/04 | 125.0 Power/$ |
| 01/10 | 128.2 Power/$ |
Summary:
The card prices continue to fall before the arrival of the general sale, and I believe the power to $ ratio will continue falling with the arrival of the new cards. This means that buying cheap cards will be an easy task in a few weeks.
The only exception here were Aplha/Promo gold cards, which price increase by 30%. Most other cards fell to up to 30% in price.
The DEC price fell by 30% as well, this brings us to the question:
Is it time to buy cards?
We will shortly start with general sale and masses of cards will hit the market. With less then 2.000.000 cards in game we already see a dip in prices. I believe that new market participants will join the game who don't have an understanding about the properties of the cards. They might sell their cards below the burn value. This could be a great opportunity to increase the power of our collections and at the same time collect airdrop points for the SPS drops.
I'm also looking forward for some cheap summoners to come my way, hopefully, so I can use leveled up cards.
On the other hand I'm a bit afraid, that bot farms will take advantage of the market as well.
Only a few days are left. Good luck everyone!
Happy Buying

I too believe waiting until Chaos Legion releases is the best strategy from a $/power ratio. As of right now, I am probably foregoing packs and just buying singles.
