In defense of the lowly potions. Why legendary and alchemy potions should be top of your list with Chaos coming out!

With Chaos Legion coming many people will be purchasing cards. Unfortunately many people will not be thinking about Legendary and Alchemy Potions which is a huge shame!

I know that most people look at a potion in their reward chest like they just got a steaming pile of ...stuff... in there. It is really not what people are hoping to get. It is generally looked upon as Splinterlands giving you a one finger salute.

However, with Chaos coming out please please don't ignore them.

They can be picked up for about 5 cents each in the store. Side note: See my previous post, use crypto or credits to purchase potions NOT DEC!!! So, for $4.10 you get a pack with double the chances of a legendary and gold card. It may not seem important but when you look at the big picture assume you bought 5000 cards.

Without potions you are not even guaranteed to get a Golden Legendary card (although there is an 80% chance).

If you were to spend $500 to buy 5000 legendary potions and 5000 alchemy potions (not including bulk discount)... then the extra $500 would get you an extra :

  1. 39 legendary cards
  2. 75 gold common cards
  3. 20 gold rare cards
  4. 4 gold epic cards
  5. almost guaranteed one gold legendary and likely (60% chance) of getting two gold legendary cards.

With the prices on the market any one of those extra's is probably worth the money you would spend on the potions. Add them all together and I believe you are foolish to open any packs without using potions.

Just my take on things but hope you'll consider buying a few potions before opening those packs! (or at least you have at least 5 or each type of potion stashed for every pack you open)

Here's the numbers to support that (its just my scratchpad so don't expect it to look pretty).

You are right to point out that potions are often discarded as rewards and people don't see their purpose. Especially because we could open any packs for some time. However if you plan to open some packs, then these potions are paramount to increase your chances to get gold foil and legendary cards. I'm accumulating my potions and I will open my CL packs only when potions are available.

Interesting calculations @terganmarket. I wish there was a way to gift or send potions, I have tons of them. More than enough to open all of the 330 card packs I have purchased. Everything else can be transferred or tokenized, might as well make potions the same.
