Opening 200 Packs of Chaos Legion…Kinda…

It goes without saying that I'm super pumped to virtually rip open some packs of the brand new Chaos Legion set that's officially releasing on December 8th at midnight Eastrrn time.

That's going to be a grueling day for me as of course I'm stupid, and am staying up through the night to open and play...just to go to work in the am for new comic book day at my shop...only to work a 12 hour day that will end with me going to a sneak preview of the new Spider-Man flick.

Whew...zombie mode is inevitable as I'll be up from Tuesday morning around 8 am all the way through Thursday morning around 3 am. Chaos Legion, Spidey, with a little work peppered in between...piece of cake.

Ya know what else was cake?!? Having the always hardworking @cryptomancer grant access to me to play around with some of the new Chaos Legion releases on the test server.

Luckily since I went full blown psycho mode for the Pre Sale, it unlocked Maverick status for me which amongst its many perks, also allows for us to get a little first hand sneak peek at what's to come next week.

The test server has no real bearing on the game or my real account. It's just for fun although it mirrors my real and regular account where I am currently holding 1208 packs of CL. Therefore...I decided to tear into 200 packs all at once just to see how I'd do.

I'll go onto say...not too shabby. Out of the 200 packs opened, here are some notable numbers. I'll state that these packs were opened WITHOUT the benefit of either potion as I don't have them available at the moment. So these are a mock-up of 200 packs opened without potions...

  • Epic x 51
  • Legendary x 5
  • Gold Foil x 19

5 of the Gold Foils were Rare while the rest were commons. It was exciting to watch the Legendary cards shaking uncontrollably...sadly none turned to gold. Perhaps better luck in the real version next week. Now to stock up on potions...

This weekend I'm hoping to actually get to sit down and play a bit, although I have about 1000 more fake packs to open before that. Wish me some fake luck!!!

I'll leave you with some tasty images of these highly anticipated new cards that lol simple beautiful.

Thanks For looking.

Looks like you had fun, but I don't think I could handle opening fake packs - knowing my luck with drops I'd end up with 100 GFLs knowing that I couldn't do anything with them.

Looking forward to the opening day myself. Not too far off now!

Not far off now!

Nice. I opened all of mine in one night because I have 0 willpower.

Well they're all opened now, no real luck.

They really need a minimum GLF drop if we're spending this much money on potions and packs, otherwise it's just shit.

Damn! I think my shitty luck rubbed off on you. I am so paranoid with my shitty luck that I don't pick the customers packs when they buy Pokemon or MTG cards anymore...I let them do it. lol

That is a good ratio! It's cool you get to horse around in the test bed. Builds the excitement!

Definitely. I haven’t played at all yet but hoping to finally get to toy around with it tonight. Excitement is through the roof for me presently.

The excitement is building nicely now. I haven't bought any packs yet but hoping to jump in at the start of the general sale for a few.
You have a nice amount to open and a lot of perks from buying the big bundle.
Looks good.

No packs yet!?!?!

Just kidding. 😜

I’m hoping to participate in all 3 rounds. I need a bunch of cards to work the lands in a bit. Figured this is my best chance at putting together decent maxed out cards to work it.

Exciting times indeed friend.

How does one unlock 'Maverik status' BTW?!?

I believe prior to CL, it was by purchasing 500 or more packs directly from Splinterlands shop. For Chaos Legion they changed it to 1000 packs.

OK cool, how do we check? I bought 1000. Although that was including the bonusus.

I think it counts then. You’ll have to go to the discord to the registration Channel and type $register (your name) and then follow the instructions. Then you’ll be all set! See you in Mav chat brother.

Chaos Legion reminds me of Legends in the MtG history. They printed more.. but there was still not enough. I grabbed one box in 1994 and scrambled round LGS's to get a few scraps. Let's hope Fallen Empires is not on the horizon somewhere!

I notice @aggroed and @yabapmatt keep making comparisons to the grand-daddy. It's great to re-live it all in present times.

I never collected MTG but I worked at a shop early on and remember all of those early sets so vividly.

If you purchase a specific amount (currently 1000) of packs directly from the Splinterlands site, you’ll get Maverick status on the discord. It also gets you special perks like being able to play around on the test servers which is what this is.
